ACUS48 KWNS 050958 SWOD48 SPC AC 050956 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0356 AM CST Thu Feb 05 2026 Valid 081200Z - 131200Z ...DISCUSSION... A low-latitude midlevel low will advance eastward across northern Mexico on Days 4-5/Sunday-Monday, before devolving into an open wave and emerging over the southern Plains on Day 6/Tuesday. While thunderstorm potential should increase across the region ahead of this feature, current indications are that weakly modified Gulf moisture will limit appreciable severe potential -- especially given modest midlevel lapse rates accompanying the trough. In the wake of this feature, the upper-level pattern should begin to consolidate and amplify, as a large-scale trough develops over the West. This should eventually favor higher-quality boundary-layer moisture return into the southern Plains and lower MS Valley late in the extended forecast period. ..Weinman.. 02/05/2026 |
