Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0200 AM CST Mon Nov 15 2021
Valid 171200Z - 181200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms appear unlikely across the contiguous United
States on Wednesday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A large-scale upper trough/low will continue moving eastward across
central Canada and the Plains on Wednesday. This trough should
eventually overspread much of the Midwest/Great Lakes and MS Valley
by the end of the period. An attendant surface low initially
centered over southern Manitoba is forecast to develop gradually
eastward across Ontario through the day in tandem with the upper
trough/low. A cold front extending from this surface low should
sweep generally east-southeastward across much of the Great
Lakes/Midwest, lower/mid MS Valley, and southern Plains.
Modest low-level moisture return should occur ahead of the cold
front, particularly across parts of central/east TX into the lower
MS Valley. However, instability will likely remain weak across the
warm sector owing to a low-level inversion. This cap should also
tend to limit potential for convection through much of the day, but
eventually the low-level frontal forcing should be enough for
isolated thunderstorms to develop Wednesday evening/night from parts
of the southern Plains into the lower MS Valley and Mid-South
vicinity. Although there should be some modest enhancement to
deep-layer shear across these areas, the rather weak instability
forecast and tendency for convection to be quickly undercut by the
surging cold front will likely limit the potential for severe
thunderstorms.
