126 ACUS03 KWNS 220700 SWODY3 SPC AC 220658 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1258 AM CST Fri Nov 22 2024 Valid 241200Z - 251200Z ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Little if any thunderstorms are expected across the USA on Sunday. ...Synopsis... An upper low will remain over the Canadian Maritimes for much of the day Sunday, and will shift east overnight as upper ridging occurs over the Midwest and Lower Great Lakes. To the west, height falls will spread east across much of the West during the day and into the Plains overnight, with a lead trough extending from Manitoba into the northern and central Plains by 12Z Monday. At the surface, high pressure will remain over the Southeast, with a trough developing from the upper MS Valley southwestward to the southern High Plains 00Z. Southerly winds will increase over the western Gulf of Mexico, with increasing surface to 850 mb southwesterlies aiding low-level moisture transport. While the air mass from eastern TX into the lower MS Valley will continually moisten, lapse rates will remain poor, and therefore, thunderstorms are not forecast in this region. Elsewhere, very weak instability may again develop near the shores of WA and OR, but the bulk of any low-topped thunderstorms are expected to remain offshore. ..Jewell.. 11/22/2024 $$
