Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0354 AM CDT Fri Apr 25 2025 Valid 281200Z - 031200Z ...DISCUSSION... ...Day 4/Mon - Southern Plains to Upper Midwest... A strong mid-level jet streak will move rapidly northeastward from the Southwest to the Upper Midwest on Monday. As this occurs, a surface low will deepen and move from the northern Plains to the northern Great Lakes. Strong southwesterly lower tropospheric flow will advect high theta-e air northward across the Midwest and into parts of the Upper Midwest. Broken to scattered cloudcover will support surface heating and strong destabilization across the warm sector from southeast Minnesota and western Wisconsin to the southern Plains. Isolated to scattered supercells are likely along the dryline which will extend from the southern Plains and into Kansas. The greatest focus for severe weather on Monday will be from eastern Kansas into northern Missouri, much of Iowa and into southern Minnesota and western Wisconsin. Moderate to strong instability, strong shear, and increasing forcing for ascent supports the potential for numerous rounds of severe thunderstorms. The wind profile supports supercells capable of all severe weather hazards including the potential for strong tornadoes. ...Day 5/Tue - Southern Plains to parts of the Northeast... The surface low associated with the Day 4 threat will continue northeast and bring its associated cold front eastward across the Midwest and Great Lakes through the day Tuesday. Moderate to strong instability is forecast south of this front from northern New York to the Ohio Valley. Much of the frontal zone should have sufficient shear to support multiple storm clusters and the potential for a few supercells. Day 6/Wed-Day8/Fri - Portions of the Mid-Mississippi Valley into the Southeast... A weaker mid-level shortwave trough is consistently depicted by extended range guidance by the middle of next week across the southern Plains. However, significant uncertainty remains about the strength of this trough and location of any frontal zones. In addition, convection across the southern Plains each day of the extended range forecast could significantly impact destabilization by Day 6-8. Therefore, confidence is not high enough to add probabilities at this time, but they may eventually be needed somewhere across the Southeast/Mid Mississippi Valley. Read more

SPC 0730Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0230 AM CDT Fri Apr 25 2025 Valid 271200Z - 281200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL NEBRASKA AND SOUTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe storms are possible across the southern High Plains and central Plains Sunday afternoon/evening. Scattered severe storms are possible across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest Sunday evening/night. ...Discussion... A moderately strong mid-level jet streak will extend from the Southwest and into the Central Plains on Sunday as a mid-level trough advances eastward through the Intermountain West. As this occurs, a strong surface cyclone will develop in the central High Plains/northern Plains. This strengthening cyclone will draw richer low-level moisture into the northern Plains while a dryline sharpens across the High Plains. Forecast guidance is consistent showing a sharp dryline extending from southwest Nebraska southward to the Texas Big Bend. Mid to upper 60s dewpoints east of this dryline and strong heating will support moderate to strong instability by Sunday afternoon. Forecast soundings show a weakly capped airmass along the entirety of the dryline. Therefore, weak height falls and a sharp dryline circulation will likely be sufficient for at least isolated supercell development along the dryline. At this time, storm coverage appears too sparse to support greater probabilities, but a favorable environment will support a conditional threat for all severe weather hazards wherever supercells can develop. Farther north, near the surface low, storm coverage probabilities increase due to stronger forcing. A slight risk has been introduced across portions of central Nebraska into southern South Dakota where the greatest potential for late afternoon/evening supercell development exists. As the low-level jet intensifies after 00Z, more widespread thunderstorm development is anticipated along and north of the warm front across the Dakotas and into western Minnesota Sunday night. ..Bentley.. 04/25/2025 Read more

SPC 0600Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1251 AM CDT Fri Apr 25 2025 Valid 261200Z - 271200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND ADJACENT WEST TEXAS AND THE TEXAS PANHANDLE... ...SUMMARY... Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible on Saturday across portions of eastern New Mexico into West Texas and the Texas Panhandle. ...Synopsis... An mid-level low will move across southern California and into the southern Great Basin on Saturday. As this trough advances east, mid-level ridging across the central CONUS will start to shift east through the day. A mid-level trough will amplify across Ontario and into the Northeast on Saturday and Saturday night. Surface high pressure will move into the Great Lakes in the wake of this trough. As low-pressure develops across the Rockies in response to the eastward advancing mid-level low, the pressure gradient will tighten across the Plains with strengthening southerly flow and northward moisture transport. ...Southern High Plains... As low-pressure develops in the west, a southerly low-level jet will strengthen Friday night and early Saturday morning which will likely lead to widespread storm coverage in the vicinity of a surface front from the Texas Panhandle/southern Oklahoma/northern Texas. This ongoing convection could have significant impacts on northward moisture recovery, and any remnant boundaries could also be a focus for severe weather later in the day Saturday, particularly across the Texas Panhandle and vicinity. Details remain uncertain at this time due to ongoing MCSs this morning and the potential for several additional convective systems Friday and Friday night. However, there is relatively higher confidence in some severe weather threat across far eastern New Mexico, parts of the Texas Panhandle, and adjacent areas. This zone is where the greatest overlap in buoyancy and shear is expected, with some potential for outflow boundaries to be an additional focus for storms on Saturday. A few supercells may be possible with a threat for isolated large hail or wind gusts, and perhaps a tornado. ..Bentley.. 04/25/2025 Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1245 AM CDT Fri Apr 25 2025 Valid 261200Z - 271200Z ...Synopsis... By early Saturday evening, a mid-level trough is forecast to arrive over central California, with southwest flow overspreading much of the intermountain West. An intensifying surface cyclone in the Great Basin associated with this trough will be responsible for gusty southerly winds across the southern Rockies into the southern High Plains, resulting in Elevated to locally Critical fire-weather conditions across portions of Arizona and New Mexico. ...Central New Mexico into Eastern Arizona... 20 MPH winds and 10-15% relative humidity (perhaps even dipping into the single-digits across New Mexico) will be responsible for at least Elevated fire-weather concerns, especially given fuels guidance with ERCs already at or exceeding the 80th-90th annual percentiles. Some locally Critical conditions may occur where local terrain enhancement of the winds are favored, but lack of confidence in widespread 25+ MPH winds based on forecast guidance precludes specific highlights at this time. However, if guidance comes into better agreement, a Critical highlight may be needed for portions of central New Mexico. ..Halbert.. 04/25/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

A concentrated area of severe thunderstorms is forecast over the Texas South Plains and vicinity during the late afternoon and evening. Large hail and localized wind damage appears likely. ...Synopsis... An upper low will drop south off the West Coast, with moderate southwest winds aloft from CA into the Great Basin and Rockies. To the east, height rises will occur over the Plains, with 500 mb temperatures about 2 C warmer than on Thursday. East of there, a weak midlevel trough will proceed across the MS/OH/TN Valleys, supporting scattered daytime thunderstorms from Lake Erie to MS. At the surface, high pressure will build south into the northern and central Plains, with a quasi-stationary front near the latitude of the Red River at 00Z. South of this boundary, a moist and unstable air mass will remain, and backed low-level winds will maintain westward moisture transport into the heated high Plains. The result will likely be cluster of slow-moving severe storms over a relatively concentrated area over West Texas. ...Extreme eastern NM...West TX...southwest OK... Linger storms may be ongoing over parts of KS and OK early in the day, but a weakening trend is anticipated as the driving warm advection out of the southwest dwindles. Then, strong heating will occur over much of West TX and NM, with the large-scale boundary roughly along I-40. Easterly surface winds will maintain 60s F dewpoints, and by late afternoon, MUCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg is forecast. Storms are likely to develop both along this boundary, and farther west near the NM/TX border. Although midlevel winds will be a bit weaker than on Thursday, slow-moving storms, including isolated supercells, are expected. Localized significant hail, damaging outflows, and a brief tornado will all be possible through early evening. Cluster of storms with heavy rain and strong gusts may persist overnight into portions of northwest TX as well. ..Jewell/Halbert.. 04/25/2025 Read more
