ACUS01 KWNS 020526 SWODY1 SPC AC 020525 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1125 PM CST Thu Jan 01 2026 Valid 021200Z - 031200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not forecast. ...Gulf States... Weak short-wave trough is currently noted over the southern High Plains region. This feature is forecast to deamplify a bit as it tracks into the lower MS Valley around 18z. Late in the period, a stronger feature will dig into the Arklatx by 03/12z, but the lead short wave is expected to be the primary feature that induces a LLJ response across MS/AL/GA. Latest model guidance suggests weak elevated instability will develop across much of the central Gulf States, and this will prove more than adequate for elevated convective development along the nose of the LLJ, where warm advection will be maximized. Late in the period, weak SBCAPE is expected to develop across southeast LA but the primary forcing mechanism will be well north of this region and the prospect for organized severe appears limited. ...CA... Strong midlevel speed max will translate inland across northern CA after 03/06z. Profiles will cool as heights fall in response to this feature, and lower tropospheric lapse rates will steepen. As a result, forecast soundings exhibit significant moistening that will lead to weak buoyancy and the possibility for at least isolated thunderstorms as lifted parcels should be able to attain heights necessary for lightning discharge. While wind fields will strengthen markedly, at this time it appears gusty winds would be the greatest risk with the more organized late-night convection. Severe threat appears too low to warrant probabilities at this time. ..Darrow/Marsh.. 01/02/2026 $$ |
