ACUS48 KWNS 240853 SWOD48 SPC AC 240852 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0352 AM CDT Sat May 24 2025 Valid 271200Z - 011200Z ...DISCUSSION... ...Tuesday/Day 4 and Wednesday/Day 5... A mid-level trough is forecast to move eastward from the southern and central Plains into the Southeast on Tuesday and Wednesday. A moist and unstable airmass is forecast to be in place on both days from the Texas Hill Country eastward into the central Gulf Coast states. During the day on Tuesday and Wednesday, deep-layer shear across this airmass is forecast to be marginal for organized severe thunderstorms. However, an isolated severe threat will be possible in areas that strongly destabilize. Steep low-level lapse rates could support severe gusts with storm-scale line segments that form from afternoon into the overnight period. Further west into the southern and central High Plains, an axis of moderate instability is forecast to develop Wednesday afternoon from eastern New Mexico into southeastern Colorado. Thunderstorms that move off the higher terrain could develop an isolated severe threat. ...Thursday/Day 6 to Saturday/Day 8... A mid-level shortwave trough is forecast to move into the Ark-La-Tex on Thursday. Scattered thunderstorm will be possible near and ahead of the trough during the day from central and north Texas southeastward into the lower Mississippi Valley. If a storm-scale convective system can become organized, then a swath of wind damage will be possible. However, predictability remains low concerning this potential. On Friday and Saturday, a strong cold front is forecast to move southward through the Gulf Coast states and into the Gulf of America. Behind the front, a relatively dry air mass over much of the central and eastern U.S. is expected to limit severe thunderstorm potential. ..Broyles.. 05/24/2025 |
