Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1133 PM CST Sat Feb 07 2026
Valid 081200Z - 091200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Very isolated thunderstorms are possible along a portion of the
coastal Pacific Northwest tonight.
...Discussion...
A low-latitude, mid-level low will drift southeastward, west of
central to southern Baja CA. Thunderstorm potential downstream of
this wave is expected to remain south of the AZ border area today.
In the Pacific Northwest, a series of lower-amplitude shortwave
impulses should progress eastward through early morning Monday.
Instability will be quite limited until this evening/tonight as a
plume of steep mid-level lapse rates spreads southeastward,
eventually across most of the OR coast. CAM consensus indicates
potential for a band of low-topped convection spreading towards
parts of the OR/WA coast tonight. Buoyancy should be scant at most,
but a few lightning flashes remain plausible.
