Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1120 PM CST Sat Dec 30 2023
Valid 311200Z - 011200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected today over the continental USA.
...Synopsis...
Mean upper troughing from the Great Lakes into much of the East, in
combination with ridging over the Rockies and a dry surface air
mass, will maintain relatively stable conditions across the CONUS
today, with little if any threat of thunderstorms. A meager attempt
at moisture return will occur over the western Gulf of Mexico as
low-level winds increase late and eventually veer in response to the
mid MS/OH Valley trough. However, forecast soundings even over the
water indicate shallow boundary layer moisture, with generally
low-topped convective showers expected late, producing little
lightning.
