   Day 1 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1120 PM CST Tue Jan 14 2025

   Valid 151200Z - 161200Z

   ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Thunderstorm probabilities are low across the CONUS today.

   ...Coastal Texas...

   Low-level warm advection is expected to remain focused along the TX
   Coast during the first half of the period. Notable surface boundary
   that is currently located over the northwestern Gulf Basin will be
   shunted southeast as mid-level flow becomes more northwesterly with
   the passage of a short-wave trough over the central Gulf States.
   Scattered elevated convection is currently noted along the cool side
   of the boundary, but lightning has struggled to materialize with
   this activity as updrafts are a bit too shallow/weak. Forecast
   soundings along the TX Coast suggest a few hundred J/kg MUCAPE if
   lifting a parcel around 750mb, but EL temperatures are marginal for
   lightning. A few of the more robust updrafts may penetrate levels
   that could support lightning, but thunderstorm activity is expected
   to remain a bit too sparse (less than 10 percent) to warrant an
   outlook this period.
