NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0127 PM CST Wed Dec 17 2025
Valid 191200Z - 201200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms may occur over the Mid Atlantic and Northeast early
Friday, and in the Pacific Northwest Friday afternoon through Friday
night.
...Discussion...
A deep upper trough will move from the Great Lakes across the
Northeast, with a strong cold front moving across New England and
the Mid Atlantic during the day. Widespread precipitation and clouds
are likely within the pre-frontal warm advection regime, and this
will limit heating and destabilization. Sporadic lightning flashes
are possible within the strongly forced shallow convective line
and/or with elevated pre-frontal convective elements.
