Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1151 PM CST Sat Dec 07 2024

Valid 081200Z - 091200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Rain/rain showers, and possibly occasional lightning in some areas,
will spread across the Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys
today. Severe weather is not expected.

...Discussion...
An upper low in the southern branch of a split-flow regime across
the U.S. will shift eastward across the southern Plains through the
day, before devolving into an open wave and accelerating across the
Mid and Lower Mississippi Valley and into the Lower Ohio and
Tennessee Valley areas overnight.

Ahead of the advancing low/trough, a broad zone of warm
advection/quasigeostropic ascent will support widespread
precipitation, including elevated convection. Occasional lightning
may accompany the convection locally, but due to weak CAPE, and the
elevated nature of the convection, severe weather is not expected.
