Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1254 AM CST Sun Nov 21 2021
Valid 231200Z - 241200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Tuesday.
...Synopsis...
Upper pattern is forecast to remain progressive on Tuesday, with the
deep upper trough initially along the Eastern Seaboard moving
quickly eastward as expansive upper ridging moves from central
Plains across much of the eastern CONUS. At the same time, upper
troughing will deepen across the western CONUS, aided by a pair of
phased shortwave troughs, one moving across the Pacific Northwest
and northern Rockies and the other moving across the southern
CA/Baja Peninsula into southern AZ and far northwest Mexico.
A large area of surface high pressure will drift across the eastern
CONUS in the wake of the upper trough, keeping conditions stable.
Surface pressure will lower across the Plains ahead of the
approaching western CONUS upper trough, resulting a strong pressure
gradient and southerly winds across the southern and central Plains.
Some moisture return will result, but upper 50s dewpoints will
likely remain confined to areas south of I-10 in TX.
Stable conditions are expected across the majority of the CONUS,
precluding thunderstorm activity. The only exception is across
eastern AZ/western NM where strong ascent and cold temperatures
aloft could result in a few updrafts capable of producing lightning.
However, coverage is currently expected to remain below 10%.
