SPC 0830Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0221 AM CST Wed Dec 17 2025 Valid 191200Z - 201200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are expected along the East Coast Friday morning and in the Pacific Northwest Friday afternoon through Friday night. ...Discussion... A strong cold front will be moving quickly eastward Friday morning with a shallow convective band along the front. A few stronger storms are possible as the front interacts with slightly greater moisture/instability near the coast. However, it is unclear whether storms will intensify before they move offshore. The best potential for a few stronger cells with some gusty winds will be across southeast Virginia and eastern North Carolina. In the wake of this cold front, cool/dry conditions associated with a surface high will bring dry conditions to much of the eastern CONUS. A few isolated thunderstorms will be possible in the Pacific Northwest as temperatures cool aloft. ..Bentley.. 12/17/2025
