NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1215 PM CDT WED MAR 18 2026
VALID 191200Z - 201200Z
..NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
..SUMMARY
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED ON THURSDAY.
..SYNOPSIS
LITTLE CHANGE TO THE LARGE-SCALE PATTERN IS EXPECTED ON THURSDAY,
WITH AN UPPER RIDGE REMAINING IN PLACE OVER THE WESTERN CONUS, AND A
DEEP UPPER TROUGH OVER THE EAST. A GENERAL DEARTH OF MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO LIMIT THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL OVER MOST
OF THE CONUS.
NEAR AND OFFSHORE OF THE SOUTHEAST FL PENINSULA, MODEST MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY MAY SUPPORT WEAK CONVECTION AS A MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE
MOVES THROUGH THE LARGE-SCALE TROUGH. THIS CONVECTION MAY POSE A LOW
(AROUND 10 PERCENT) THUNDERSTORM THREAT, MAINLY DURING THE LATTER
HALF OF THE FORECAST PERIOD.
