Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1123 PM CST Sat Feb 19 2022
Valid 201200Z - 211200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
A few flashes of lighting are possible with showers across the
Pacific Northwest. Isolated thunderstorms are possible Sunday night
across the lower Mississippi Valley/Arklatex region.
...Pacific Northwest...
Very cold mid-level temperatures will spread across the Pacific
Northwest along the cyclonic side of a digging jet that will
translate toward northern CA by the end of the period. With 500mb
temperatures cooling below -30C, cooling, steepening lapse rates
will become favorable for weak convection aided by weak buoyancy
related to marine influences. A few flashes of lightning can not be
ruled out with the stronger updrafts.
...Lower MS Valley/Arklatex...
Low-latitude short-wave trough will eject across northern Mexico
toward TX later Sunday. This feature will induce a LLJ over
southeast TX that will focus into northern LA/southern AR after
sunset. Moisture advection atop the stable boundary layer should
contribute to adequate buoyancy for a threat of elevated convection
during the latter half of the period. Several NAM forecast soundings
suggest parcels lifted around 800mb would yield in excess of 500
J/kg MUCAPE, thus isolated thunderstorms are expected within the
warm advection regime late.
