SPC Jan 16, 2025 1630 UTC Day 1 Convective Outlook

SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1000 AM CST Thu Jan 16 2025 Valid 161630Z - 171200Z ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not expected through tonight. ...Synopsis and Discussion... An upper trough will continue moving eastward across the eastern CONUS and western Atlantic through the period. With surface high pressure remaining dominant over the southern Plains and Southeast, and generally offshore low-level flow over the Gulf, thunderstorm potential is forecast to remain minimal through tonight. One exception may be across the FL Keys, where weak MUCAPE should exist late

Thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight. ...Discussion... An eastward-progressive upper trough will influence the Eastern Seaboard and western Atlantic, with high pressure and continental trajectories pervasive east of the Rockies. An upper low off the coast of southern California and northern Baja will begin to shift toward the Southwest Deserts late today and tonight. Isolated weak convection may occur tonight across parts of central/southeast Arizona, but cool/dry thermodynamic

SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1109 PM CST Wed Jan 15 2025 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not expected. ...Discussion... Mid-level short-wave trough will dig off the Southeast Atlantic Coast early in the period. This will maintain surface ridging along the Gulf Coast from south TX to the western FL Peninsula. As a result, offshore flow will suppress instability necessary for deep convection and thunderstorms are not forecast. ..Darrow/Squitieri.. 01/16/2025 Read more

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1122 AM CST Wed Jan 15 2025 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday. ...Discussion... An upper trough over the eastern U.S. will advance slowly eastward Thursday, while the next feature -- a short-wave trough over western Canada -- digs southeastward, moving into the northwestern/north-central U.S. overnight. At the surface, cold/dry/stable conditions will persist. A pronounced cold front, associated with the digging/western upper system, will likewise shift southeastward out of Canada, but preceding high pressure will preclude

Severe thunderstorms are not expected through tonight. ...Synopsis and Discussion... With weak instability in place this morning, isolated thunderstorms should continue for a few more hours along parts of the middle/upper TX Coast as an upper trough pivots southeastward over the southern Plains. This activity will remain elevated in nature, and severe thunderstorms are not expected. Across the rest of the CONUS, dry and/or stable conditions will preclude

Severe thunderstorms are not expected through tonight. ...Coastal Texas... Scattered elevated convection is expected to continue across the coastal plain as warm/moist advection persists while a weak mid-level disturbance moves eastward over the western Gulf of Mexico. Deeper lightning-producing convection will focus over the open Gulf waters, but a few lightning flashes could occur near the coast. This potential is substantiated by the 12z observed sounding from Corpus
