   ACUS03 KWNS 140717 SWODY3 SPC AC 140716 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0216 AM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS EAST-NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe storms with isolated large hail and wind damage are expected on Monday from the northern High Plains east-northeastward into the upper Mississippi Valley. Outside of this area, marginally severe storms will be possible across much of the central and northern U.S. ...Great Plains/Upper Mississippi Valley... A mid-level ridge will remain in place on Monday from the central Rockies northward into the northern High Plains. A subtle shortwave trough will move northeastward into the northern Rockies. At the surface, a cold front is forecast to move southward across the northern Plains. South of the front, surface dewpoints in the 60s F will contribute to the development of moderate to strong instability by afternoon. Convection is likely to initiate near the front as surface temperatures and low-level convergence increase during the day. These storms are forecast to move east-southeastward into the strong instability during the afternoon. 21Z NAM forecast soundings along and near the instability axis mostly have 0-6 km shear in the 30 to 40 knot range, with 700 mb lapse rates near 8 C/km. This environment will be favorable for supercells with isolated large hail, mainly early in the event. Mid-level flow is forecast to be nearly parallel to the boundary, suggesting that a gradual transition to linear mode could take place during the late afternoon and early evening. Linear mode would be more favorable for a wind-damage threat. The severe threat should gradually move into the mid Missouri Valley during the evening, where low-level flow is forecast to increase. Further south into parts of southern Nebraska, Kansas and northern Oklahoma, isolated convective initiation should take place as surface temperatures warm during the day, along zones of maximized low-level convergence. Forecast soundings suggest that moderate deep-layer shear and steep mid-level lapse rates will be in place over much of the moist airmass. This should support an isolated severe threat, with hail and strong wind gusts possible. However, any convection that initiates will have to overcome layer of warm air around 800 mb. This should keep any threat marginal during the afternoon and evening. ..Broyles.. 06/14/2025 $$ |
