321 ACUS03 KWNS 011919 SWODY3 SPC AC 011918 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0118 PM CST Mon Dec 01 2025 Valid 031200Z - 041200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are possible over southeast Texas into Louisiana on Wednesday into early Thursday morning. Severe storms appear unlikely. ...Synopsis... Progressive mid-level flow will amplify and persist over the US Wednesday as broad troughing intensifies over the East. Weak ridging over the central US will be enhanced by an upstream trough over the Rockies and Great Basin moving toward the Plains into early Thursday. At the surface, a cold and dry air mass is expected over much of the country in the wake of a prior frontal passage. This front will continue south over much of the Gulf and off the coast of the Atlantic, as a second arctic front moves south over the central US. The only exception to widespread offshore flow will be across portions of the western Gulf where the front will stall near the TX/LA Coasts. Ahead of the second upper trough, warm-air advection will support some southerly flow along the coast as a weak surface wave develops over the Gulf. Weak elevated buoyancy and ascent will support thunderstorm development across portions of southeast TX and southern LA Wednesday afternoon/evening into early Thursday morning. A stronger elevated storm or two with small hail is possible early Thursday, but given the limited buoyancy, a sustained severe risk appears unlikely. ..Lyons.. 12/01/2025 $$
