Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1123 AM CST Thu Jan 06 2022
Valid 071200Z - 081200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected Friday.
...Synopsis...
A dry, continental air mass is forecast to be in place across much
of the CONUS early Friday morning. The only exception will be across
the central and southern FL peninsula, where the cold front is
expected to make slow southward progress throughout the day. The
relatively warm and moist air mass in place will contribute to
buoyancy ahead of the front, although warm temperatures aloft will
keep this buoyancy modest. As a result, convection along the front
may occasionally become deep enough to produce isolated lightning
flashes.
A shortwave trough is expected to move across the northern Rockies
and into the northern/central Plains from Friday afternoon into
early Saturday morning. As it does, lee troughing will deepen across
the High Plains, strengthening the surface pressure gradient and
supporting southerly surface winds across the central and southern
Plains. Resultant moisture return will bring low 60s dewpoints and
modest buoyancy to the TX Coast. A few lightning flashes are
possible within any deeper, more persistent convective cores.
