Forecast Discussion - Convective Outlook

   SPC AC 060025

   Day 1 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0625 PM CST Fri Dec 05 2025

   Valid 060100Z - 061200Z

   ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Thunderstorm potential is negligible tonight.

   ...01 Update...

   Surface front has advanced across the northern FL Peninsula early
   this evening. Weak convection is noted along/behind this boundary,
   but the more robust updrafts are now offshore where isolated flashes
   of lightning are noted off the GA Coast. Latest diagnostic data does
   not appear particularly favorable for deep convection along the wind
   shift tonight, and post frontal elevated buoyancy is expected to
   remain quite weak. Current thinking is the primary risk for isolated
   thunderstorms will be well off the GA/SC Coasts.

   Day 2 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1050 AM CST Fri Dec 05 2025

   Valid 061200Z - 071200Z

   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Saturday.

   ...Synopsis...
   A low-amplitude midlevel shortwave trough is forecast to move
   quickly eastward across the Mid-South on Saturday, and then move
   offshore of the Carolinas by early Sunday morning. Upstream, a
   midlevel shortwave trough and attendant surface low will move
   southeastward from the northern High Plains toward the mid MS
   Valley. 

   Dry and stable conditions will preclude thunderstorm potential
   across most of the CONUS on Saturday. Weak convection and possibly
   isolated thunderstorms may develop during the afternoon across the
   FL Peninsula, in the vicinity of a weakening front. Late Saturday
   night into early Sunday morning, thunderstorms may develop near the
   central Gulf Coast vicinity, north of an offshore front that is
   expected to slowly move northward late in the period. Where
   thunderstorms occur, generally weak lapse rates and modest buoyancy
   are expected to limit organized-severe potential through the period.

   Day 3 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0104 PM CST Fri Dec 05 2025

   Valid 071200Z - 081200Z

   ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are not currently expected on Sunday.

   ...Synopsis...
   Within a broad, large-scale trough covering much of the
   central/eastern CONUS, a low-amplitude shortwave is forecast to move
   from the southern Great Plains into the Southeast on Sunday. In
   response to this system, some low-level moisture return is possible
   into parts of the upper TX coast and southern LA, in advance of an
   approaching cold front. However, persistent surface ridging will
   tend to keep the richer Gulf moisture mostly suppressed offshore.

   Early-day elevated convection will be possible across parts of the
   Gulf Coast, to the north of the primary baroclinic zone. Convective
   showers may develop later in the day across parts of LA and southern
   MS along/ahead of the approaching cold front, though forecast
   soundings currently suggest that this convection may not be
   sufficiently deep for lightning production. 

   Farther east, thermodynamic profiles may become at least marginally
   supportive of thunderstorm development across parts of the FL
   Peninsula and Keys. Isolated diurnal storm development cannot be
   ruled out near any sea breeze boundaries and a remnant baroclinic
   zone across the peninsula, though large-scale forcing will be
   limited. Late in the period, thunderstorms over the Gulf may
   approach parts of the FL Panhandle and Keys. While some increase in
   deep-layer shear is possible with time, generally weak lapse rates
   and modest buoyancy are currently expected to limit the
   organized-severe threat.
