Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1145 PM CST Sun Nov 28 2021
Valid 011200Z - 021200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.
Wednesday through Wednesday night.
...Discussion...
Mid-level ridging may be suppressed somewhat across parts of the
Pacific Northwest during this period, as one significant short wave
perturbation progresses inland of the British Columbia coast through
the Canadian Rockies, around its crest. However, models indicate
that a strong belt of mid/upper flow will remain broadly
anticyclonic across the mid-latitude eastern Pacific through the
northern U.S. Rockies and Great Plains. The leading edge of this
jet is forecast to continue digging into downstream troughing,
across the Great Lakes, Ohio Valley and Mid Atlantic Coast, with one
embedded perturbation accompanied by a modestly deep surface cyclone
quickly migrating from the Canadian Prairies through the upper Great
Lakes vicinity. At the same time, though, potentially cool surface
ridging appears likely to be maintained across much of the Gulf
Coast and Gulf of Mexico vicinity, beneath broadly confluent
mid/upper flow, which will continue to inhibit boundary-layer
moistening over the northern Gulf and preclude a substantive inland
moisture return. Generally dry and/or otherwise stable conditions
are expected to persist across much of the nation with little risk
for thunderstorm activity.
