ACUS01 KWNS 240059 SWODY1 SPC AC 240057 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0657 PM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 Valid 240100Z - 241200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF SOUTHWEST/WEST-CENTRAL TEXAS... ...SUMMARY... A few severe storms capable of producing hail and locally strong gusts remains possible tonight over parts of west to west-central Texas. ...Discussion... Gradual cooling aloft will occur tonight as the upper trough moves into the central and southern Plains, with 50-60 kt midlevel southwesterlies maintaining deep-layer shear. At the surface, an instability axis currently exists over southwest TX, where temperatures are in the 60s with low 60s F dewpoints. While the 00Z DRT sounding was capped, the MAF soundings shows significantly cooler 700 mb temperatures. A few storms are ongoing over the South Plains and into the Pecos Valley, with new echoes developing south of FST. Given southeasterly 925 mb winds and continued cooling aloft, additional development and possibly strengthening is expected overnight. Long hodographs will favor cells producing hail, and a few strong wind gusts may also occur if bowing structures can develop. Overall, instability will be mainly elevated, except over far southern areas. ..Jewell.. 11/24/2025 $$ |
