SPC AC 111719
Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1119 AM CST Sat Dec 11 2021
Valid 121200Z - 131200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
A few thunderstorms will be possible across the coastal Pacific
Northwest on Sunday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
An upper trough will quickly exit the Northeast with high pressure
from the MS Valley to the Mid Atlantic resulting in dry and stable
conditions across much of the CONUS.
To the west, persistent southwest flow aloft will exist over the
Pacific Northwest, where temperature at 500 mb are forecast to be
colder than -30 C. Steep lapse rates will develop especially during
the heating hours, with MUCAPE on the order of 200-300 J/kg
possible. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are thus expected to
develop during the day, with little focus.
Overnight, a broad surface trough will deepen offshore, and some
increase in showers and storms are possible mainly into the OR
Coast. At that time, forecast soundings indicate little MUCAPE will
be present, and as such, severe weather is not forecast despite
strong shear profiles.
