Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1246 AM CST Mon Dec 27 2021
Valid 281200Z - 291200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms will be possible across
portions of eastern Texas and the Southeast into the Ohio Valley
Tuesday and Tuesday night.
...Synopsis...
A mid-level shortwave trough will be located near the central High
Plains at 12Z Tuesday. This trough will phase with the larger upper
trough which will move through the northern Plains during the day. A
strong surface low will be present across the central Plains on
Tuesday morning, but this surface low will weaken as it moves
northeast. A surface front will initially lift northward as a warm
front, but will stall near the Ohio River by Tuesday evening as the
surface low weakens.
...Ohio Valley...
Elevated instability is expected to remain too limited for much
severe weather threat. However, some surface-based storm development
is possible Tuesday evening/night along the surface front near the
Ohio River. Forecast soundings show the warm sector to be capped for
much of the day, but higher quality low-level moisture will start to
stream northward and arrive near the front between 00Z and 06Z. This
may generate sufficient instability near the frontal circulation for
isolated to scattered storm development despite a lack of
larger-scale ascent. The weak instability and lack of stronger
forcing should limit the severe-weather threat with this activity
Tuesday evening/night.
...Deep South...
Some thunderstorms are possible ahead of a weakening shortwave which
is expected to move across the Deep South Tuesday afternoon and into
the overnight hours. The weak forcing, combined with weak lapse
rates from forecast soundings would suggest this storm activity
should remain weak. However, the vertical shear is favorable for
storm organization, and therefore, a strong storm or two cannot be
ruled out.
