Day 2 Convective Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1226 PM CDT Thu Apr 04 2024



Valid 051200Z - 061200Z



...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...



...SUMMARY...

Severe weather is not expected across the continental U.S. Friday or

Friday night.



...Discussion...

Two upper lows will continue to affect weather over the U.S. Friday.

The eastern low should remain roughly centered over Maine through

the period, with the broader cyclonic flow field affecting areas

east of the Mississippi River.



In the West, the second low is expected to progress steadily

eastward across the Great Basin vicinity, with surrounding cyclonic

flow expanding to encompass the entirety of the western CONUS.  



In between the two lows, amplified ridging will prevail across the

Plains.



Generally stable conditions are expected east of the Rockies,

precluding any appreciable potential for deep moist convection

across the eastern half of the country.  In the West, showers -- and

embedded/occasional lightning -- are expected to occur across a

large area, from California into Nevada and adjacent parts of Utah

and northwestern Arizona, and also across the northern Intermountain

area from Idaho eastward across parts of Montana and Wyoming.  In

all areas, severe weather is not expected.
