ACUS48 KWNS 270752 SWOD48 SPC AC 270751 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0251 AM CDT Wed Aug 27 2025 Valid 301200Z - 041200Z ...DISCUSSION... The upper-low over New England will gradually drift away from the U.S. as an upper ridge builds west of the Rockies this weekend into early next week. Surface troughing will persist across the Plains states, with adequate low-level moisture remaining in place to support scattered thunderstorms. At the moment, it appears that any severe risk will be sparse at best. As the upper ridge persists, a positively tilted upper trough will rapidly translate from Canada into the MS Valley during the middle of next week, accompanied by a progressive surface cold front. This cold front will bring a cool, stable airmass to much of the northern and central Plains into the MS Valley, reducing thunderstorm potential. Strong storms could occur immediately ahead of the surface cold front around Day 8/Wednesday, though questions surrounding the placement and timing of this front preclude the introduction of severe probabilities at this time. ..Squitieri.. 08/27/2025 |
