Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1115 PM CST Mon Feb 07 2022
Valid 101200Z - 111200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
The risk for thunderstorms appears negligible across the U.S.,
Thursday through Thursday night.
...Discussion...
Models indicate little change to the large-scale pattern from
Wednesday into Thursday, with a blocking mid-level high remaining
prominent offshore of the U.S. Pacific coast. It does appear that
short wave ridging may build once again near the British Columbia
coast, in the wake of one inland progressing short wave impulse
(around the northern periphery of larger-scale mid-level ridging
across the eastern Pacific into western North America), and ahead of
another emanating from a strong upstream southern mid-latitude
Pacific jet.
The lead impulse is forecast to be accompanied by significant
surface cyclogenesis to the lee of the Canadian Rockies, across
northern Alberta into north central Saskatchewan by 12Z Thursday,
and it appears the center of the fairly broad and deep low will
migrate into the Upper Great Lakes vicinity by late Thursday night.
However, with cool surface ridging being maintained beneath
confluent, cyclonic mid-level westerlies across the Mexican Plateau
through Gulf of Mexico and Gulf Coast region, moisture content
within the warm sector of the cyclone will remain rather low. This
is expected to preclude appreciable potential for destabilization
and associated risk for thunderstorm activity.
