Day 2 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1228 AM CST Sat Dec 23 2023

Valid 241200Z - 251200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorm potential appears low on Sunday.

...Southern Plains to Lower MS Valley...

A shortwave upper trough will pivot east on Sunday from the southern
Plains to the Lower MS Valley. At the surface, low pressure over
OK/KS at the beginning of the period will weaken with time, becoming
elongated from the Ozarks to LA by late afternoon into the evening.
A line and/or cluster of thunderstorms will likely be ongoing Sunday
morning from central/eastern OK southward into north and central TX.
This activity will be occurring in a warm advection regime within
deep-layer southwesterly flow ahead of the upper trough and an
advancing surface cold front. A weakening low-level jet and
south/southeasterly surface winds ahead of the line of convection
will result in wind profiles typically favorable for low-level
rotation. However, greater low-level shear/SRH and better quality
low-level thermodynamics will likely be offset from one another.
Forecast thermodynamic profiles indicate poor low-level lapse rates
and at least pockets of weak inhibition Sunday morning. This will
likely limit severe/low-end tornado potential across central into
eastern TX during the morning hours. 

By afternoon, limited heating due to widespread cloudiness and
precipitation will preclude stronger destabilization downstream
toward the ArkLaTex and Sabine Valley. Any stronger instability will
likely remain offshore the Upper Texas and LA coasts, and severe
potential is expected to remain low.
