Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1220 AM CST Tue Nov 23 2021
Valid 241200Z - 251200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are possible across portions of the southern Plains on
Wednesday, but severe storm potential is currently low.
...Synopsis...
An expansive upper trough is forecast to cover much of the western
and central CONUS early Wednesday. This upper trough is expected to
gradually progress eastward, while several embedded shortwave
troughs rotate through it. Guidance continues to suggest this upper
trough will trend toward bifurcation late Wednesday night/early
Thursday morning, with an embedded shortwave remaining progressive
across the Canadian Prairie Provinces and northern Plains while
another less progressive embedded shortwave trough moves across
southern CA, western/southern AZ, and the northern Baja Peninsula.
...Southern Plains...
A cold front is expected to extend from a low over central MN
southwestward through the eastern TX Panhandle. This front will
sweep southeastward throughout the period and is expected
to stretch from eastern Lower MI southwestward into the TX Hill
Country by early Thursday morning. Low-level moisture will advect
northward across the southern Plains ahead of this front, with mid
50s dewpoints reaching into northeast OK and low 60s dewpoints
reaching north-central TX. Isolated thunderstorms are possible
Wednesday evening through early Thursday morning both in the
vicinity of the front and throughout the warm sector. A
predominantly elevated storm mode is anticipated in both of these
regions, with instability remaining modest as well. Even so,
vertical shear is strong enough to support updraft organization
within any cells that persist and deepen, although anticipated low
coverage and limited predictability preclude introducing any
probabilities.
