Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1142 PM CST Fri Dec 06 2024
Valid 071200Z - 081200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Elevated convection will likely continue across a large portion of
Texas on Saturday, with occasional/embedded thunderstorms. No severe
weather is expected.
...Discussion...
As an upper trough shifts away from New England/across the Canadian
Maritimes, a gradual trend toward more zonal flow will occur in the
main branch of polar westerlies across the northern CONUS. Farther
south, a low within the southern branch of split flow will meander
east-northeastward across northern Mexico, southern Arizona, and
southern New Mexico, reaching the southern High Plains late.
Ahead of this low, a broad, weak warm-advection regime will persist
across the southern Plains vicinity. Within this area of warm
advection/ascent, persistent convection will be maintained through
the period. Therein, occasional/elevated thunderstorms are expected
-- particularly across portions of central and eastern Texas. Given
weak CAPE, and the elevated nature of the convection atop a
cold/stable boundary layer, severe weather is not expected.
