ACUS02 KWNS 271722 SWODY2 SPC AC 271720 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1120 AM CST Thu Nov 27 2025 Valid 281200Z - 291200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... A few thunderstorms are possible over the southern Plains and lower Missouri Valley Friday night into early Saturday morning. Severe thunderstorms are not currently expected. ...Synopsis... Mid-level ridging over the central US will shift eastward behind a departing trough over the East. A second trough will deepen over the Rockies encouraging lee cyclogenesis over the southern Plains Friday. As the surface low deepens, modest low-level moisture will advect northward with a 40-60 kt southerly low-level jet. Lift from the approaching trough and an attendant cold front will support isolated thunderstorms from the southern Plains to the lower MO Valley late Friday into early Saturday. ...Southern Plains into the lower Missouri Valley... Ahead of the lee low, strong low-level warm air advection will transport middling surface moisture northward over parts of central/north TX into southern OK ahead of the surging cold front. In the wake of the prior frontal passage, a persistent surface stable layer is likely to prevent substantial northward moisture return over the southern Plains. However, cold mid-level temperatures (H5 temps -24C) beneath the deepening upper trough will likely support some elevated buoyancy development late Friday, overnight into Saturday. Isolated thunderstorms are possible within the boarder warm advection band. While generally weak, (~250-500 J/kg MUCAPE) sufficient destabilization and strong flow aloft could support an occasional stronger storm capable of small hail from northeast TX into eastern OK and the Ozarks. But, given the limited thermodynamics, a sustained severe risk appears unlikely. ..Lyons.. 11/27/2025 $$ |
