   ACUS03 KWNS 020729 SWODY3 SPC AC 020728 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0228 AM CDT Wed Jul 02 2025 Valid 041200Z - 051200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND UPPER MIDWEST... ...SUMMARY... Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are expected across portions of the northern Plains and Upper Midwest on Friday. ...Discussion... A mid-level trough will amplify as it moves through the central Plains and into the Upper Midwest on Friday. As this trough advances east, scattered to widespread thunderstorm activity is anticipated within a moderate to strongly unstable airmass. Shear across the warm sector remains highly uncertain at this time as the exact timing of the strengthening mid-level flow remains unclear. If mid-level flow remains 30 knots or less, storm organization may be somewhat nebulous with a threat for isolated damaging wind gusts. However, if stronger mid-level flow can overspread the warm sector during the afternoon/evening, a more concentrated severe weather threat is possible. Due to these uncertainties, a marginal risk is sufficient at this time, but higher severe weather probabilities may be needed if more favorable warm-sector shear appears likely. A mid-level trough will move from the Great Basin into the Northern Rockies on Friday. Widespread thunderstorm activity is anticipated as this trough shifts northeast. At this time it does not appear instability will be sufficient to substantiate a Marginal Risk, but if greater instability materializes, a Marginal Risk may eventually be needed. ..Bentley.. 07/02/2025 $$ |
