ACUS01 KWNS 200059 SWODY1 SPC AC 200057 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0657 PM CST Wed Nov 19 2025 Valid 200100Z - 201200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND OZARKS...AND ALSO ACROSS SOUTHEAST AZ AND SOUTHERN NM... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe thunderstorms remain possible across the southern Plains into parts of the Ozarks through tonight. Large hail should be the main threat, but occasional gusty winds and perhaps a tornado may also occur. ...Southern Plains into parts of the Ozarks... Widely scattered storms have developed this evening across parts of west-central/northwest TX, generally near and to the south/east of a surface boundary draped from central OK into southwest TX. Gradually increasing ascent associated with an approaching mid/upper-level trough will result in additional storm development through the evening across parts of the southern Plains, where a seasonably moist airmass is in place. MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg, moderate deep-layer shear, and elongated mid/upper-level hodographs (as noted on regional 00Z soundings) will support isolated supercells with a threat of large hail and locally gusty winds. A brief tornado will also be possible, especially across southwest TX later this evening, where backed surface winds and a modest nocturnal low-level jet will lead to some enhancement of effective SRH. Overnight, a somewhat separate zone of primarily elevated storm development is possible from northern OK/southeast KS into parts of the Ozarks, within a low-level warm-advection regime. MUCAPE of near/above 1000 J/kg and sufficient effective shear could support an isolated hail threat with this activity. ...Southwest... Multiple storm clusters may continue through much of the evening into late tonight across parts of AZ/NM, in association with the upper trough moving across the Southwest. MUCAPE will generally remain weak (near or below 500 J/kg), but favorable shear and cooling temperatures aloft could still support small to near-severe hail and locally gusty winds with the strongest storms. ..Dean.. 11/20/2025 $$ |
