Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1125 PM CST Mon Jan 24 2022 Valid 251200Z - 261200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Isolated weak thunderstorms are expected across portions of central and southern Florida. ...Florida... Weakening mid-level short-wave trough over east TX is forecast to deamplify further over the next 24-36hr as it tracks across the Gulf States and off the SC/GA Coast Tuesday night. This feature will prove partly responsible for forcing a weak surface low across the northern Gulf Basin where it will be shunted southeast and further weaken, well west of the southern FL Peninsula. Air mass over FL is currently cool and dry, and significant moistening is required before sufficient buoyancy will be in place for potential thunderstorm development. While low levels need considerable moistening before SBCAPE can develop, mid-level saturation is forecast by early evening such that elevated convection appears possible after sunset. Where surface dew points can rise into the upper 60s along the southern Gulf Coast, there is some potential for a few hundred J/kg of SBCAPE by the end of the period. Regardless, weak surface-3km flow does not look particularly conducive for any meaningful threat of severe, especially given the weakening offshore surface low. ..Darrow/Wendt.. 01/25/2022
