Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0220 AM CDT Mon May 25 2020
Valid 271200Z - 281200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
At least isolated thunderstorm coverage is forecast from the
southern Plains through the Mississippi/Ohio Valleys and Southeast
states on Wednesday. Thunderstorms are also possible over the
central Rockies. However, overall severe thunderstorm potential is
minimal.
...Synopsis...
An upper cyclone is forecast to be centered over the southern Plains
early Wednesday morning. Downstream blocking via a subtropical ridge
centered off the Mid-Atlantic coast will persist throughout the
period, leading to only slow eastward motion of the upper cyclone.
Elsewhere, a northern-stream shortwave trough will likely move
southeastward into the Canadian Prairie Provinces while upper
ridging builds eastward into much of the western CONUS.
Showers and thunderstorms are anticipated throughout the eastern and
northeastern periphery of the upper cyclone and its attendant
surface low centered over the southern Plains. Some enhancement of
the low-level flow is possible along the eastern half of the
cyclone, but poor lapse rates will temper instability and limit the
severe risk.
Guidance differs on the strength and evolution of the surface low
near the SC coast at the beginning of the period. If a more inland
track and deeper low are realized, some severe threat may
materialize. Predictability is currently too low to introduce any
severe probabilities.
