ACUS02 KWNS 020601 SWODY2 SPC AC 020559 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1259 AM CDT Wed Jul 02 2025 Valid 031200Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS...THE SOUTHWESTERN GREAT LAKES...AND THE NORTHEAST... ...SUMMARY... Scattered storms capable of large hail and severe wind gusts are forecast across the Northeast on Thursday. Isolated severe wind gusts are also possible in the Northern Plains and parts of the Upper Midwest into the southwestern Great Lakes. ...Synopsis... A strong upper-level trough will translate slowly east across the central CONUS on Thursday. To the east, a strong upper-level trough will amplify across eastern Canada with a strong mid-level jet streak moving across the Northeast. Farther west, several mid-level troughs will traverse the southwesterly flow across the Rockies with widespread thunderstorm activity expected. ...Northeast... Weak to potentially moderate instability is forecast to develop across the Northeast on Thursday ahead of a southeastward moving cold front. Scattered storms are expected along and ahead of the surface front as forcing for ascent increases across the Northeast. These storms will likely be mostly multicellular due to modest shear and instability. However, if some greater instability can develop beneath the compact but strong 50 knot mid-level jet streak, a few supercells may also be possible. Isolated large hail and damaging wind gusts will be the primary threat from the storms across the Northeast. ...Southwestern Great Lakes... A reservoir of low to mid 70s dewpoints is forecast to develop across Iowa, eastern Minnesota, and Wisconsin Thursday afternoon. Strong heating will likely result in strong instability across the region. Forcing for storm development remains somewhat questionable at this time. However, moderate shear will support the potential for supercells with any storms that develop. Therefore, a conditionally greater severe weather threat is possible, but questions regarding storm coverage preclude higher probabilities at this time. ...Northern Plains... Strong instability is forecast to develop across the northern Plains on Thursday as upper 60s to low 70s dewpoints advect into western North Dakota. High-based thunderstorms will likely develop during the afternoon as a mid-level shortwave trough approaches the region. Effective shear will be relatively weak but steep low and mid-level lapse rates and strong instability will support a threat for isolated severe wind gusts Thursday afternoon/evening. ..Bentley.. 07/02/2025 $$ |
