Subj : DAY2SVR: Nws Storm Predic To : All From : Mike Powell Date : Fri Oct 25 2024 15:13:00 ACUS02 KWNS 251657 SWODY2 SPC AC 251656 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1156 AM CDT Fri Oct 25 2024 Valid 261200Z - 271200Z ....NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ....SUMMARY... Little thunderstorm activity is forecast across the contiguous states on Saturday. An isolated weak thunderstorm cannot be ruled out near the ArkLaTex. ....Synopsis... An upper ridge will sharpen over the Rockies on Saturday as a large upper trough over the Great Lakes shifts east, and another upper trough spreads into the Pacific Northwest and Great Basin. High pressure will be prominent from the Plains into the Midwest, and over much of the intermountain west during the day. In the wake of the northeastern trough, a weak front is forecast to extend roughly from the TN Valley into TX, with an area of 60s F dewpoints extending northward toward the ArkLaTex. While lift will be weak, heating within the moist plume will result in an uncapped air mass, and a few daytime thunderstorms cannot be ruled out. Severe weather is unlikely as shear will be weak, and midlevel lapse rates poor. Elsewhere, increasing large-scale ascent across the Pacific Northwest with substantial cooling aloft will occur overnight, with low-topped convection primarily offshore. ...Jewell.. 10/25/2024 $$ --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux * Origin: ILink: CCO - capitolcityonline.net (454:3/105) .
