Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1223 AM CST Sun Jan 23 2022 Valid 241200Z - 251200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Isolated thunderstorms are possible along the Texas Coast Monday, but severe thunderstorms are not expected. ...Synopsis... A southern-stream shortwave trough is forecast to be centered over Far West TX early Monday before then progressing eastward across the TX Hill Country and southeast TX throughout the day. This shortwave is expected to lose amplitude as it moves eastward and will likely be centered over the Lower MS Valley by early Tuesday morning. Surface cyclogenesis is anticipated ahead of this shortwave over the lower/middle TX Coast Monday morning, with the resulting low then progressing northeastward through the western Gulf of Mexico. This track should keep any more moist/buoyant air offshore, minimizing the potential for robust thunderstorms over the TX coast. Even so, a few elevated thunderstorms are still possible along the coast amid strong large-scale forcing for ascent and warm-air advection. Elsewhere, northern-stream upper troughing will remain in place from the northern High Plains into much of eastern CONUS, reinforced by a series of embedded shortwave troughs. The progression of these shortwaves will also help reinforce the dry and stable conditions in place across the majority of the central and eastern CONUS. ..Mosier.. 01/23/2022
