ACUS01 KWNS 041250 SWODY1 SPC AC 041248 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0648 AM CST Thu Dec 04 2025 Valid 041300Z - 051200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe storms are not forecast in the U.S. today or tonight. ...Synopsis and Discussion... Early-morning satellite imagery shows a southern-stream shortwave trough moving through NM, preceded by a extensive fetch of southwesterly flow aloft from the eastern Pacific across the southern Plains and Lower/Mid MS Valley. More confluent, single-stream, moderate to strong mid-level flow exists across the eastern CONUS. The NM shortwave is forecast to progress northeastward, loosing amplitude as it moves into the more confluent flow from the Plains eastward. This shortwave will be displaced well north of any notable low-level moisture. Recent surface analysis places a low just off the southeast TX Coast, with a warm front extending eastward from this low along the LA coast before pivoting more southeastward into more of central Gulf. Warm-air advection amid this frontal zone is contributing to a broad precipitation shield, with a few deeper embedded updrafts producing lightning, from the Lower MS Valley into southern MS/AL and the FL Panhandle. The surface low is forecast to progress eastward along the warm front throughout the day, with the warm-air advection showers and thunderstorms progressing eastward as well. The strongest updrafts are expected to remain within the southern periphery of this precipitation shield, largely over the coastal portions of LA, MS, and AL where modest elevated buoyancy is anticipated. Surface-based buoyancy, supported by mid/upper 60s dewpoints, may develop across far southeast LA, with an associated threat for a few stronger, more organized storms. However, localized and brief character of this threat precludes the need for any severe probabilities. Isolated thunderstorms could persist into the evening across southern LA as a cold front moves through, but buoyancy will remain limited with no severe thunderstorms expected. ..Mosier/Jewell.. 12/04/2025 $$ |
