   ACUS03 KWNS 171932 SWODY3 SPC AC 171931 Day 3 Convective Outlook CORR 1 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0231 PM CDT Fri Oct 17 2025 Valid 191200Z - 201200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF THE OHIO VALLEY NORTHEASTWARD INTO PARTS OF THE NORTHERN APPALACHIANS AND LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION... CORRECTED FOR HEADER ...SUMMARY... Isolated wind damage may occur on Sunday from parts of the Ohio Valley toward the Lower Great Lakes and northern Appalachian regions. ...Synopsis and Discussion... On Sunday, a negative-tilt and deep upper trough will move quickly across the Great Lakes to Ohio Valley region, and into the central to northern Appalachians by evening. This trough will bring strong wind fields across much of the northeastern CONUS, with potential for locally damaging gusts. A surface low over lower MI is forecast to move north/northeastward into Canada during the day, with a cold front extending southward across OH and into KY and TN Sunday morning. This front will race eastward through the period, and will interact with a plume of 50s F dewpoints and area of daytime heating. Only weak instability is forecast along the cold front, but substantial height falls and low-level lift focused along the front should lead to a narrow band of low-topped convection. Much of this activity may be without lightning, but could produce strong to locally damaging wind gusts. Farther south into southern AL/GA, scattered thunderstorms may remain along the front early in the day, but a weakening trend is expected due to rapid drying from the west and increasing midlevel subsidence. ..Jewell.. 10/17/2025 $$ |
