DAY 3 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0156 AM CST FRI DEC 11 2015
VALID 131200Z - 141200Z
...THERE IS A MRGL RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS THE UPPER TX COAST AND
LOWER MS VALLEY...
...SUMMARY...
ISOLATED STRONG/SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY BE EMBEDDED ALONG A SQUALL
LINE AS IT PROGRESSES ACROSS THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY SUNDAY.
...UPPER TX COAST/LOWER MS VALLEY...
WRN U.S. TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO EJECT ACROSS THE SRN PLAINS/TX REGION
DURING THE DAY SUNDAY AS UPSTREAM HEIGHTS BEGIN TO FALL IN RESPONSE
TO DIGGING TROUGH ALONG THE PACIFIC COAST. STRONG MID-LEVEL FLOW
ASSOCIATED WITH LOW-LATITUDE TROUGH WILL UNDOUBTEDLY AID CONVECTION
ALONG/NEAR FRONTAL ZONE AS IT PROGRESSES ACROSS EAST TX INTO THE
LOWER MS VALLEY. EXPANSIVE PRE-FRONTAL CONVECTION/PRECIPITATION IS
EXPECTED TO SUPPRESS DESTABILIZATION AND POOR LAPSE RATES WILL LIMIT
UPDRAFT STRENGTH WITH TSTMS THAT DEVELOP ACROSS THIS REGION. IN
FACT...MUCH OF THIS CONVECTION MAY NOT PRODUCE LIGHTNING DUE TO WEAK
LAPSE RATE ENVIRONMENT. LATEST THINKING IS A FORCED BAND OF
CONVECTION WILL BE ONGOING AT SUNRISE SUNDAY AND THIS ACTIVITY
SHOULD PROPAGATE ACROSS LA INTO SRN MS BY EARLY EVENING. WHILE
FORECAST INSTABILITY SUGGESTS SQUALL LINE WILL BE MOSTLY
SUB-SEVERE...SHEAR PROFILES SUPPORT GUSTY WINDS WITH THE MOST
ORGANIZED CONVECTION.
