.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1019 AM CST Sun Dec 07 2025/

...Florida Peninsula...
Late morning radar/satellite composite shows a rain shield and
embedded convection along a west-east oriented, southward-sagging
front over the north-central Gulf.  This rain activity is possibly
the result of a weak disturbance moving eastward across the northern
Gulf of America within the base of a larger-scale mean trough over
the central and eastern part of North America.  This disturbance is
forecast to move into north FL late today and east of the FL/GA
coasts by mid-late evening.  

Considerable cloudiness will likely persist near/north of I-4 and
combine with meager low to mid tropospheric lapse rates to thereby
limit destabilization.  However, a seasonably moist airmass will
probably yield a few hundred J/kg MLCAPE prior to an increasing
prevalence of showers/thunderstorms moving east from the Gulf into
the west/northern portions of the Peninsula towards late this
afternoon and evening.  Ample mid- to high-level flow will support
storm-scale rotation contingent on a sufficiently strong updraft or
two developing within this zone of convection.  The risk for
localized strong/damaging gusts and perhaps a brief tornado may
accompany the strongest storms, mainly during the 22-08 UTC period,
as this threat shifts from northwest to south across the Peninsula.

...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorm activity is not expected across the Lower 48 on
Tuesday.

...Synopsis...

A broad swath of west to northwesterly flow will overspread the
CONUS on Tuesday. An upper shortwave trough will deepen as it
spreads east from the northern Rockies into the Midwest. A prior
cold front passage offshore into the Gulf and western Atlantic will
result in a dry and stable airmass. This will preclude thunderstorm
potential despite a deepening surface low and cold front spreading
across the Plains to the Mid/Upper MS Valley/Great Lakes vicinity.
