    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Thunderstorms are most likely Wednesday night over parts of the
    lower Mississippi Valley into the Tennessee Valley. A few strong
    storms cannot be ruled out.

    ...Synopsis...
    On Wednesday, an upper trough will develop from the Upper MS Valley
    into the central Plains as an 80 kt 500 mb speed max moves across
    northern TX and OK. Height falls with this system will spread over
    much of the OH/TN Valleys and southeastern states, with the speed
    max likely intensifying through 12Z Thursday.

    At the surface, low pressure will move from OK toward the MO
    Bootheel trough 00Z, then will gradually deepen into WV overnight. A
    cold front will trail southwestward from the low, providing lift as
    it interacts with a developing moist plume across the Gulf Coast
    States.

    ...Sabine Valley into the TN Valley...
    A warm front will be situated along the northern Gulf Coast
    Wednesday morning, and will move north across much of LA during the
    day. Mid to upper 60s F dewpoints will likely exist from southeast
    TX across southern LA by 00Z. The air mass will likely remain capped
    during the day, but scattered thunderstorms are forecast overnight
    as the front continues east. Despite strengthening deep-layer shear
    (with strongly veered 850 mb flow), the main mitigating factor will
    be the relatively cool boundary layer and inversion near 700 mb.
    This should preclude much activity away from the front, and reduce
    severe potential overall. However, deepening of the moist boundary
    layer overnight along the front, beneath strong westerly flow, could
    result in a few strong storms producing damaging gusts.

    Given these factors, will not introduce low severe probabilities
    this outlook cycle.

    ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

    ...SUMMARY...
    Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Christmas Day (Wednesday).

    ...Discussion...
    A lead southern-stream shortwave trough will tend to weaken across
    the Lower Mississippi Valley/Tennessee Valley on Wednesday, while a
    secondary shortwave trough modestly amplifies as it progresses east-southeastward over the southern Rockies toward far west Texas
    Wednesday night. Some thunderstorms may linger during the day across
    Louisiana and the upper Texas coast, and possibly into other parts
    of the Lower Mississippi Valley. Related to the secondary shortwave
    trough, isolated elevated thunderstorm development may also occur
    late Wednesday night across far eastern New Mexico into
    west/northwest Texas including the Texas Panhandle, with forecast
    soundings plausibly showing a couple hundred J/kg MUCAPE across this
    region by daybreak (12z) Thursday.

    Additionally, a few thunderstorms could again occur near the coastal
    Pacific Northwest/northern California Wednesday night as a shortwave trough/frontal band approaches and mid-level lapse rates steepen.
    Little or no severe-weather potential is currently expected with any
    of these scenarios, largely attributable to minimal buoyancy in each
    instance.
