Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0629 PM CST Sun Feb 08 2026 Valid 090100Z - 091200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... A few thunderstorms are possible along a portion of the coastal Pacific Northwest tonight. ...Discussion... Minimal change from the previous outlook with potential for isolated thunderstorms during the late evening to early overnight. In the wake of a low-amplitude shortwave trough shifting east across the Northwest, a plume of steep mid-level lapse rates will expand southeastward across most of coastal OR. Guidance is consistent in depicting a surface trough encroaching on the coast by 06-08Z. Scattered low-topped convection should accompany this trough, especially towards the WA coast. Buoyancy should remain scant at most, but may be adequate for a few embedded thunderstorms before convection weakens inland. ..Grams.. 02/09/2026Read more
