ACUS48 KWNS 170800 SWOD48 SPC AC 170759 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0259 AM CDT Wed Sep 17 2025 Valid 201200Z - 251200Z ...DISCUSSION... Medium-range guidance generally indicates low-amplitude/weak upper troughing will persist across portions of the central U.S. through the weekend. By early next week, large spread exists between the control members of the GFS and ECMWF and how these models handle the evolution of a deepening upper trough moving out of the Rockies and into the Plains/Midwest around Days 6-8/Mon-Wed. Ensemble mean 500 mb forecasts are in better alignment, indicating a stronger large-scale trough will emerge over the Plains and MS Valley late in the period, bringing a stronger autumn cold front south/southeast across much of the central U.S. This could bring some increasing severe potential to portions of the Plains MS Valley during the second half of the forecast period, but given aforementioned uncertainty/large spread, it is unclear which days/locations may experience any increasing risk. ..Leitman.. 09/17/2025 |
