Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1218 AM CST Wed Mar 02 2022
Valid 031200Z - 041200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected across the United States on Thursday.
...Synopsis...
A large upper trough will slowly progress eastward across the Great
Lakes and Northeast on Thursday, as upper ridging takes place across
the Plains. Meanwhile, a pair of shortwave troughs will near the
West Coast, the strongest of which will affect southern CA and
northern Baja. Strong cooling aloft north of the 90 kt midlevel
speed max may result in shallow convection off the coast of southern
CA, and isolated lightning flashes cannot be ruled out. However, it
appears this activity will remain primarily offshore.
Elsewhere, easterly surface winds will exist across the Gulf of
Mexico with high pressure over the Mid Atlantic. Southerly surface
winds will begin to increase across the southern and central Plains,
but little to no instability will exist at that time early in the
moisture return cycle.
