Subj : DAY3SVR: Nws Storm Prediction Center Norman Ok To : wx-storm@lists.illinois.edu From : COD Weather Processor Date : Tue Jul 29 2025 07:33:42 ACUS03 KWNS 290732 SWODY3 SPC AC 290731 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0231 AM CDT Tue Jul 29 2025 Valid 311200Z - 011200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday. ....Discussion... Upper-level ridging is forecast to strengthen across the central CONUS on Thursday. Some thunderstorm activity is possible along a cold front which is forecast to move south into the Kansas/Oklahoma/Arkansas vicinity. However, building heights aloft and very weak flow beneath the ridge should limit storm intensity/coverage along the front. To the east of the building ridge, widespread thunderstorm activity is expected east of the Mississippi with neutral heights and moderate to strong instability. Despite the coverage of storms within this unstable environment, storm organization remains questionable due to weak lapse rates and very weak shear. Sporadic isolated water-loaded downdrafts within a 2+" PWAT environment may result in a few damaging wind gusts, but there is no clear region where the environment may be most favored. At this time, it appears a very isolated, unorganized threat is most likely from the Southeast into the Carolinas. The best potential for a more focused zone of severe storms may be across portions of Virginia into the mid-Atlantic where slightly stronger mid-level flow will be present and the southward moving surface front may provide additional focus for storms. No probabilities are warranted at this time, but they may be needed at a later time. ...Bentley.. 07/29/2025 $$ = = = To unsubscribe from WX-STORM and you already have a login, go to https://lists.illinois.edu and use the "Unsubscribe" link.
