Severe Storms

SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0800 PM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025 Valid 270100Z - 271200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF EASTERN NM INTO SOUTHWEST TX...AND ALSO NEAR THE ARKLATEX VICINITY... ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe thunderstorms may continue over eastern New Mexico into parts of west Texas through the evening. A threat for large to very large hail and a couple of tornadoes are the primary risks. Scattered strong to severe storms also remain possible across parts of western/central Arkansas and vicinity. ...Eastern NM into west/central TX... Widely scattered supercells are ongoing this evening from east-central NM into the TX Permian Basin region, near and to the south of a remnant outflow boundary that earlier moved into the region from the east. MLCINH will increase through the evening across the region, and the eastward advance of the NM storms may be limited by a less unstable and increasingly capped airmass to the cool side of the remnant outflow. However, a modest increase in low-level flow through the evening may help to maintain a couple of these supercells, which will tend to propagate southeastward along the instability gradient. Backed low-level flow and modestly enlarged hodographs may continue to support tornado potential with these cells for as long as they persist and remain surface-based. Otherwise, large to very large hail and localized severe gusts will remain a threat with the strongest storms. Farther east, an isolated strong storm or two may yet develop within a persistent cumulus field across parts of central TX. Moderate instability and deep-layer shear could support at least briefly organized storms if initiation occurs, with a threat of isolated hail and strong gusts. ...Western/central AR and vicinity... Moderate instability and modestly enhanced midlevel flow attendant to an MCV over eastern OK have supported occasional supercell structures early this evening from western AR into the ArkLaTex region. A few stronger cells may persist through dusk, accompanied by a threat of hail, isolated damaging wind, and possibly a tornado or two. A gradual weakening trend is expected later this evening after the onset of nocturnal cooling, though relatively rich low-level moisture may delay this process somewhat and allow for some severe threat to spread into parts of central AR with time. ...Parts of the Carolinas/southeast VA... Widely scattered storms are ongoing this evening from the eastern Carolinas into southeast VA, along/ahead of a cold front. MLCAPE around 1000 J/kg and modest deep-layer shear could support occasionally strong storms with potential for locally gusty/damaging winds, before storms weaken later this evening. ..Dean.. 04/27/2025 Read more

MD 0572 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 176... FOR WESTERN ARKANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0572 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0618 PM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025 Areas affected...Western Arkansas Concerning...Tornado Watch 176... Valid 262318Z - 270045Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 176 continues. SUMMARY...Thunderstorm clusters will propagate east this evening. Some risk for a brief tornado, or hail/wind gusts can be expected. DISCUSSION...Remnants of a long-lived MCV are tracking into northeast OK early this evening. This feature appears to be weakening within a broader corridor of convection that is now spreading across eastern OK into western AR. Scattered supercells have been common along the southern fringe of this complex of storms, enhanced by low-level warm advection along the northern-most extent of higher buoyancy. Latest MRMS data suggests hail is common with the strongest updrafts, especially over southern Little River County AR. With the LLJ expected to increase across the southern High Plains later this evening, MCV may continue to weaken as it progresses into northwest AR. Until then, the greatest risk for severe storms will be across southwest Arkansas. ..Darrow.. 04/26/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LZK...SHV...TSA...

MD 0571 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR FAR WEST TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0571 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0516 PM CDT Sat Apr 26 2025 Areas affected...Far West Texas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 262216Z - 262345Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...A severe thunderstorm watch may be needed as a pair of supercells have developed along the dryline in the vicinity of the Trans-Pecos mountains. These storms will be capable of 2.00+ inch hail and 60-70 MPH wind gusts, though a tornado cannot be ruled out. DISCUSSION...Supercell thunderstorms have developed along a dryline in the vicinity of the Trans-Pecos mountains, with 2500+ J/kg of MLCAPE to the east, and 45-50 kts of deep layer shear. Given boundary perpendicular shear vectors, supercell storm mode is likely to be maintained into the early evening hours. Primarily straight-line hodographs should favor splitting of supercells capable of large hail and damaging winds, particularly with left splits. Some meager low-level curvature of the hodograph from forecast proximity profiles, along with ML LCL heights around 1100-1300 meters, could support tornado occurrence as well, especially as the nocturnal low-level jet increases low-level shear into the evening. However, the primary threat will be for 2.00+ inch hail and 60-70 MPH winds. ..Halbert/Guyer.. 04/26/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...EWX...SJT...MAF...
