DAY 3 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0215 AM CST FRI JAN 02 2026
VALID 041200Z - 051200Z
..NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
..SUMMARY
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED ON SUNDAY OR SUNDAY NIGHT.
..WEST COAST TO THE CA CENTRAL VALLEY
LATEST GUIDANCE REMAINS REASONABLY CONSISTENT WITH THE EVOLUTION OF
THE PERSISTENT EASTERN PACIFIC UPPER TROUGH ON SUNDAY. ONE EMBEDDED
SHORTWAVE IMPULSE SHOULD IMPINGE ON WESTERN WA EARLY SUNDAY, WHILE A
SEPARATE IMPULSE SHIFTS INLAND ACROSS SOUTHERN CA THROUGH SUNDAY
NIGHT. GUIDANCE IS ALSO HIGHLY CONSISTENT IN DEPICTING MINIMAL
BUOYANCY IN VICINITY OF THESE IMPULSES, LIKELY YIELDING LOWER-
PROBABILITY THUNDER POTENTIAL COMPARED TO D2/SATURDAY. SPORADIC/VERY
ISOLATED LIGHTNING COVERAGE WILL PROBABLY DIURNALLY PEAK ON SUNDAY
AFTERNOON, WHERE COLD MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES ARE PRESENT ALONG MOST
OF THE WEST COAST INTO THE CENTRAL VALLEY.
