NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0710 AM CDT Fri Apr 05 2024
Valid 051300Z - 061200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight.
...Synopsis...
Water-vapor imagery early this morning shows a mid to upper-level
low over northern CA and an associated large-scale trough over the
West Coast. A mid-level ridge is downstream over the Great Plains
to the west of a large-scale trough/mid-level low near the East
Coast. The western U.S. trough/low will gradually pivot east
through Saturday morning across the Desert Southwest and Great
Basin. Isolated thunderstorms are possible across CA/NV/AZ in
conjunction with increasing large-scale ascent and sporadic pockets
of weak buoyancy. Isolated thunderstorms are also possible across
the central and northern Rockies and adjacent plains. Strong gusts
cannot be ruled out with a few thunderstorms, but limited buoyancy
will likely preclude the development of severe thunderstorms through
tonight.
