Day 2 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1035 AM CST Sat Mar 12 2022

Valid 131200Z - 141200Z

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
No thunderstorms are forecast across the continental United States 
Sunday.

...Synopsis...
A large-scale upper trough will rapidly depart the Northeast and
Canadian Maritimes region with temporary height rises across the
East. Meanwhile, a shortwave trough will dive southeastward across
the Rockies, approaching the High Plains by 12Z Monday with
substantial cooling aloft and a backside jet max over UT and AZ.

At the surface, a large area of high pressure will exist over the
Southeast, with gradually veering surface winds over the Gulf Of
Mexico in advance of the aforementioned shortwave trough to the
west. This will occur in response to lowering pressure over the
Plains, but instability is not forecast to support thunderstorms
this early in the moisture return cycle.
