DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1228 PM CDT MON MAR 23 2026
VALID 241200Z - 251200Z
..NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
..SUMMARY
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY ACROSS THE
CENTRAL AND NORTH FLORIDA.
..SYNOPSIS
A SURFACE COLD FRONT, NOW APPROACHING THE PIEDMONT, WILL MOVE
SOUTHWARD INTO FL AND STALL BY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. DAYTIME
HEATING/MIXING ALONG THE STALLED FRONT, AS WELL AS LOCAL SEA BREEZE
CIRCULATIONS, WILL SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR WIDELY SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL/NORTH FL DURING THE AFTERNOON/EVENING.
THIS AREA WILL BE ALONG THE SOUTHERN FRINGE OF THE STRONGER WESTERLY
FLOW ALOFT, AND THE COMBINATION OF BUOYANCY AND VERTICAL SHEAR DOES
NOT APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE STORMS.
OTHERWISE, A MIDLEVEL SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL MOVE OVER VANCOUVER/WA
TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT. WEAK BUOYANCY ROOTED ALOFT WILL BE
POSSIBLE IN THE WARM ADVECTION ZONE PRECEDING THE MIDLEVEL TROUGH,
AND STEEPENING LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WILL ALLOW SHALLOW BUOYANCY IN
THE POST-FRONTAL ENVIRONMENT LATE IN THE FORECAST PERIOD. ISOLATED
LIGHTNING FLASHES COULD OCCUR AND THIS AREA WILL BE RE-EXAMINED IN
LATER OUTLOOK UPDATES.
