Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1137 PM CST Fri Dec 12 2025
Valid 131200Z - 141200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated weak thunderstorm activity is possible across portions of
the Texas and Louisiana coasts, as well as South Florida and the
Keys this afternoon into Saturday night.
...Discussion...
Strong midlevel height falls will spread across the Ohio
Valley/Middle Atlantic during the day1 period as a pronounced upper
trough digs across the Great Lakes/OH Valley. This evolution
warrants surface pressures rising across the interior CONUS east of
the Rockies, ultimately forcing a cold front toward the upper TX/LA
Coast by the end of the period. Prior to the frontal passage, weak
low-level warm advection will aid some convective threat due in part
to the influence of a low-amplitude short-wave trough that will
eject across the western Gulf basin. Otherwise, lightning may
accompany frontal convection as the wind shift surges into this
region. In addition to isolated thunderstorms across the upper
TX/LA Coasts, moisture/buoyancy is expected to gradually advance
north across the FL Keys into the southern FL Peninsula. Weak
disturbance should encourage isolated thunderstorm development
across this region as well. In both scenarios, severe threat appears
negligible.

Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1152 PM CST Fri Dec 12 2025
Valid 141200Z - 151200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
A few storms are possible across South Florida and the Florida Keys
on Sunday.
...Discussion...
An upper trough will move from the Great Lakes to the western
Atlantic by Sunday night/early Monday. At the surface, strong high
pressure will continue to build south and east from the Midwest to
the Tennessee Valley. This expansive high pressure will push a cold
front into the Atlantic and the Gulf. Richer boundary layer moisture
will remain confined to South Florida and the Keys where showers and
isolated thunderstorms may be ongoing Sunday morning. This activity
may persist into the afternoon while shifting southeast with time.
However, weak instability should limit overall severe weather
potential.

Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0117 AM CST Sat Dec 13 2025
Valid 151200Z - 161200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are not expected on Monday.
...Discussion...
Strong high pressure will dominate much of the eastern 2/3rds of the
CONUS on Monday with strong offshore flow into the Atlantic and the
Gulf, pushing rich moisture well offshore. Therefore, thunderstorm
activity is not expected across much of the CONUS. The only
exception may be across the Pacific Northwest coast where some weak
instability may develop. However, even within this area, lightning
activity should remain limited due to relatively warm air aloft.
