Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1058 PM CST Sat Feb 05 2022
Valid 061200Z - 071200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected across the contiguous United States
today.
...Synopsis...
A highly amplified pattern will exist today with a high over the
West and an extensive positive-tilt trough over the Plains. A broad
belt of southwest flow aloft will exist over the East, with a
southern-stream shortwave trough diving into west TX and northern
Mexico late.
At the surface, a substantial high will exist over the West, with
another ridge lingering across the East. Offshore flow will persist
across the Gulf of Mexico, but a weak low will develop just off the
coastal Southeast. While weak instability may favor a few
thunderstorms over the ocean, little instability or lift will exist
over the FL Peninsula, thus thunderstorms are not forecast there.
Elsewhere, moistening in the midlevels will occur across Deep South
TX overnight in association with the approaching upper wave.
Forecast soundings suggest very small amounts of elevated CAPE may
develop, rooted above 650 mb, but the threat of thunderstorms
appears negligible.
