Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0345 AM CST Mon Jan 22 2024 Valid 251200Z - 301200Z ...DISCUSSION... ...Thursday/Day 4 to Saturday/Day 6... Southwest flow at mid-levels is forecast to be in place across much of the central and eastern U.S. from Thursday to Saturday, as an upper-level trough moves from the Intermountain West to the southern Plains. Thunderstorms will be possible across parts of the Southeast on each of these days, as multiple shortwave troughs move across the region. At the surface, a moist airmass is forecast across the southern Gulf Coast states late in the week where an isolated severe threat will be possible each afternoon and evening from Thursday to Saturday. Although deep-layer shear is forecast to be strong, weak instability should help to keep any severe threat localized. ...Sunday/Day 7 and Monday/Day 8... By Sunday, the upper-level trough is forecast to move into the eastern U.S., as a cold front advances eastward off of the Atlantic Coast. In response, the airmass across the Southeast will likely become less favorable for thunderstorms through time from Sunday into Monday. No severe threat is expected for either of these two days.

Thunderstorms, some with potential to be marginally severe, will be possible on Wednesday from near the Texas Coast eastward to the central Gulf Coast. ...Western and Central Gulf Coast... Southwest mid-level flow, associated with a broad belt of strong flow, will be in place on Wednesday from the southern Plains to the Ohio Valley. At the surface, a cold front is forecast to move southeastward to the western Gulf Coast, with a moist airmass located from near the Texas Coast extending east-northeastward to the central Gulf Coast. Thunderstorm development will be possible along the front during the day. Although instability is expected to remain weak in most areas ahead of the front, low to mid-level flow may be strong enough for an isolated severe threat. A few of the stronger cells that develop near the front may have a potential to become marginally severe during the afternoon and evening. ..Broyles.. 01/22/2024 Read more

Thunderstorms associated with marginally severe winds will be possible on Tuesday from parts of the Texas Coastal Plain to far southwest Louisiana. ...Texas Coastal Plain/Far Southwest Louisiana... Anticyclonic southwest flow at mid-levels will be in place on Tuesday from the southern Plains to the Appalachians Mountains. A shortwave trough is forecast to move northeastward into the southern Plains on Tuesday as an inverted trough at the surface deepens across east Texas. Low-level convergence is forecast to be maximized near the trough in southeast Texas, where scattered thunderstorms are expected to form during the day. Moderate instability is forecast to develop near and to east of the surface trough along the lower to middle Texas coast. In addition, 0-6 km shear is forecast to be around 60 knots, which suggests that an isolated severe threat will be possible during the afternoon. The greatest severe threat is forecast to be near and to the west of the Houston vicinity, where isolated damaging wind gusts will be possible. A marginal tornado threat will also be possible. The threat will likely be small in area, and there is some uncertainty as to how far inland the severe threat will be. For this reason, will maintain a marginal risk. ..Broyles.. 01/22/2024 Read more
