SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0950 AM CST Mon Jan 26 2026 Valid 261630Z - 271200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected through tonight. ...Discussion including South Florida... Longwave trough will remain prevalent east of the Rockies, with some late-day amplification of the upper ridge into the West in advance of an approaching shortwave trough. High pressure and cold/continental trajectories will extensively prevail east of the Rockies, with an exception being ahead of a cold front crossing the Florida Peninsula. While near-frontal convergence will remain weak, and mid-level lapse rates are poor, additional boundary layer warming and deepening convection may be conducive for a few lightning flashes, mainly near parts of the coastal southeast Florida Peninsula through afternoon. ..Guyer/Barnes.. 01/26/2026
