Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1137 PM CST Fri Dec 12 2025
Valid 131200Z - 141200Z
NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
### SUMMARY
Isolated weak thunderstorm activity is possible across portions of the Texas and Louisiana coasts, as well as South Florida and the Keys this afternoon into Saturday night.
Discussion
Strong midlevel height falls will spread across the Ohio Valley/Middle Atlantic during the day1 period as a pronounced upper trough digs across the Great Lakes/OH Valley. This evolution warrants surface pressures rising across the interior CONUS east of the Rockies, ultimately forcing a cold front toward the upper TX/LA Coast by the end of the period. Prior to the frontal passage, weak low-level warm advection will aid some convective threat due in part to the influence of a low-amplitude short-wave trough that will eject across the western Gulf basin. Otherwise, lightning may accompany frontal convection as the wind shift surges into this region. In addition to isolated thunderstorms across the upper TX/LA Coasts, moisture/buoyancy is expected to gradually advance north across the FL Keys into the southern FL Peninsula. Weak disturbance should encourage isolated thunderstorm development across this region as well. In both scenarios, severe threat appears negligible.

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1152 PM CST Fri Dec 12 2025
Valid 141200Z - 151200Z
NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
### SUMMARY
A few storms are possible across South Florida and the Florida Keys on Sunday.
Discussion
An upper trough will move from the Great Lakes to the western Atlantic by Sunday night/early Monday. At the surface, strong high pressure will continue to build south and east from the Midwest to the Tennessee Valley. This expansive high pressure will push a cold front into the Atlantic and the Gulf. Richer boundary layer moisture will remain confined to South Florida and the Keys where showers and isolated thunderstorms may be ongoing Sunday morning. This activity may persist into the afternoon while shifting southeast with time. However, weak instability should limit overall severe weather potential.

Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0117 AM CST Sat Dec 13 2025
Valid 151200Z - 161200Z
NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
### SUMMARY
Thunderstorms are not expected on Monday.
Discussion
Strong high pressure will dominate much of the eastern 2/3rds of the CONUS on Monday with strong offshore flow into the Atlantic and the Gulf, pushing rich moisture well offshore. Therefore, thunderstorm activity is not expected across much of the CONUS. The only exception may be across the Pacific Northwest coast where some weak instability may develop. However, even within this area, lightning activity should remain limited due to relatively warm air aloft.

NOTE: THE NEXT DAY 3 OUTLOOK IS SCHEDULED BY 1930Z
You are looking at an outlook that is part of the medium range forecast (the outlook for days 4-8). The most important thing to note is that lack of a risk does not mean zero risk. Generally speaking, confidence has to be pretty high for the Storm Prediction Center to have an outlook area this far into the future.
When no specific risk areas are shown, you might see one of these phrases:

Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0246 AM CST Sat Dec 13 2025
Valid 161200Z - 211200Z
DISCUSSION
Moisture return will begin on Tuesday/D4 across Texas with some weak instability and thunderstorm potential arriving by Wednesday/D5. Significant differences in the upper-level pattern begin on Thursday/D6 and beyond which will significantly impact thunderstorm and severe weather potential.
The ECMWF and AIFS have a sharper mid-level trough farther south on Thursday/D6. This will result in a stronger cold front and farther north moisture return ahead of the front. In addition, some weak instability may develop beneath the stronger mid-level jet. This may create an environment favorable for a few stronger storms from the Lower Ohio Valley to the Mid-Mississippi Valley. This stronger scenario would likely push a strong cold front deep into the Gulf on Friday and limit thunderstorm potential into the weekend.
A less amplified solution (as shown by the GFS and AIGFS) would not support much of any strong storm threat on Thursday/D6. However, it would keep low to mid 60s dewpoints across Texas and the Lower MS Valley on Friday and into the weekend. This may result in weak to potentially moderate instability across portions of the southern Plains and possibly into the Mid-Mississippi Valley through the weekend. Despite this lingering instability, a mostly zonal mid-level pattern would not support a significant severe weather threat.
Overall, severe weather potential remains somewhat low for much of the period. Some low-end severe weather threat may exist from Thursday/D6 and beyond as low-level moisture increases, but significant uncertainties in the evolution of the upper-level pattern make any forecast for time or location of any potential low-end threat difficult.
