Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0100 AM CST Sun Jan 16 2022
Valid 181200Z - 191200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not forecast across the contiguous United States
on Tuesday.
...Synopsis and Discussion...
A large area of surface high pressure should be centered over the
Southeast Tuesday morning, with meager low-level moisture over the
CONUS. As one upper trough continues to advance eastward over the
western Atlantic and the Canadian Maritimes, an upstream
perturbation is forecast to gradually amplify as it moves over the
northern Plains and Upper Midwest through the period. A separate,
low-amplitude shortwave trough should develop from the Great
Basin/Southwest to the southern Plains by late Tuesday night. A weak
surface low related to this southern-stream feature and a gradually
strengthening low-level jet Tuesday night will encourage some modest
moisture return northward from the western Gulf of Mexico across
parts of coastal TX into the lower MS Valley. Even with these
developments, both the low-level moisture and related instability
are expected to be too meager to support thunderstorms through the
end of the period.
