SPC 0700Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1244 AM CST Wed Jan 21 2026 Valid 221200Z - 231200Z ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday. ...Synopsis... Broad upper troughing will persist across most of the CONUS on Thursday. Modified Gulf moisture will be in place across portions of south/southeast TX into the central Gulf Coast and central/southern FL on the southern periphery of strengthening surface high pressure over the Plains and Midwest. Some very modest instability could develop over the southeast FL Peninsula. However, nebulous large-scale ascent and modest lapse rates will limit thunderstorm potential inland. A couple of thunderstorms are possible offshore, but coverage of lightning flashes near the coast appears limited, precluding 10 percent general thunder delineation. Elsewhere, cold and/or stable conditions will preclude thunderstorm activity. ..Leitman.. 01/21/2026
