Day 2 Convective Outlook  

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1228 PM CDT Wed Mar 27 2024



Valid 281200Z - 291200Z



...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...



...SUMMARY...

Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday.



...Synopsis...

A deep upper-level trough is forecast to move eastward across the

eastern CONUS on Thursday, as another deep upper-level trough

gradually moves eastward across the West. A surface cyclone is

forecast to amplify and move northeastward just offshore of the

Carolina coast, as a trailing cold front sweeps through the Florida

Peninsula. 



While a favorable overlap of buoyancy and deep-layer shear will be

in place across the FL Peninsula prior to the frontal passage,

weakening large-scale ascent across the warm sector is currently

expected to limit storm coverage and intensity. Otherwise, elevated

convection may persist through the day across parts of the coastal

Carolinas. 



Across parts of the Northwest, Great Basin, and northern Rockies,

cold temperatures aloft associated with the upper-level trough may

support weak convection capable of sporadic lightning flashes. Gusty

winds may accompany convection across parts of eastern NV and

western UT, but weak instability should limit the severe threat.
