ACUS48 KWNS 160849 SWOD48 SPC AC 160847 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0347 AM CDT Thu Oct 16 2025 Valid 191200Z - 241200Z ...DISCUSSION... ...Sunday/Day 4 and Monday/Day 5... A large-scale mid-level trough and an associated cold front are forecast to move through the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys on Sunday. Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing across the central Gulf Coast states and Tennessee Valley at the start of the period. This convection should have a negative impact on instability across the much of the moist sector during the day. In areas that are not impacted, weak instability is forecast to develop ahead of the front from Georgia and the Carolinas into the central Appalachians. The instability combined with strong large-scale ascent and moderate to strong deep-layer shear will likely result in a severe threat. A potential for wind damage and a few tornadoes will be possible. At this time, uncertainty is substantial as to exactly where the greatest severe potential will occur. As new runs come in, an upgrade to Slight may be needed. A mid-level low is forecast to move across the Northeast on Monday, as the associated trough moves into the western Atlantic. Thunderstorms with an isolated severe threat will be possible in parts of southern New England during the late morning and early afternoon before the front moves offshore. ...Tuesday/Day 6 to Thursday/Day 8... On Tuesday and Wednesday, a mid-level trough is forecast to move from the Mississippi Valley into the western Atlantic, as flow becomes west-northwesterly across much of the eastern and northern U.S. By Thursday, a mid-level low is forecast to develop in the Desert Southwest. Thunderstorms will be possible ahead of this system on Thursday across parts of the Four Corners region and southern Rockies. However, uncertainty concerning the timing and strength of this system is substantial at this extended range. ..Broyles.. 10/16/2025 |
