SPC 1930Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0216 PM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025
Valid 261200Z - 271200Z
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE WESTERN GREAT LAKES...FROM THE
MID-ATLANTIC TO THE SOUTHEAST...AND NORTHEAST MONTANA VICINITY...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong storms are possible from the central Plains to
Lower Michigan, over parts of the Southeast, and over parts of
Montana on Thursday. Scattered damaging gusts appears to be the main
concern.
...Synopsis...
Somewhat zonal flow is expected across the northern CONUS on Friday
with a broad ridge across much of the southern CONUS. A moderate
mid-level jet streak will move across Montana with relatively weak
flow across the remainder of the CONUS. A weak upper low will drift
slowly northeast across the southeastern CONUS.
...Mid-Atlantic to the Southeast...
A broad area of moderate instability is forecast from the
Mid-Atlantic to the Southeast on Friday. Shear is expected to be
very weak through the period, but moderate instability and
relatively steep mid-level lapse rates beneath the upper low will
provide a thermodynamic environment favorable for some damaging wind
gusts. More focused areas of strong to severe storms may exist near
outflow boundaries from D2/Thursday convection.
...Central Plains to the western Great Lakes...
Moderate to strong instability is forecast to develop along a
frontal zone from Kansas to Wisconsin on Friday afternoon/evening.
Shear is expected to remain weak (20 to 25 knots), but strong
instability will support the threat for some damaging wind gusts.
...Northeast Montana Vicinity...
Moderate mid-level flow is expected to overspread northeast Montana
on Friday where a deeply mixed boundary layer (above 3km) is
forecast. While instability will not be that great due to limited
moisture, it should be sufficient for a few storms. Moderate shear
(25 to 30 knots) and a deeply mixed boundary layer will support a
threat for some severe wind gusts Friday afternoon/evening.

MD 1426 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF FAR NORTHEAST ILLINOIS INTO NORTHERN INDIANA...SOUTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN...AND EXTREME NORTHWEST OHIO
Mesoscale Discussion 1426
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1236 PM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025
Areas affected...portions of far northeast Illinois into northern
Indiana...southern Lower Michigan...and extreme northwest Ohio
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 241736Z - 241930Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...The risk for isolated damaging gusts will increase through
the afternoon. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance is not currently
expected.
DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are developing along the periphery of an
upper ridge, where moderate buoyancy (e.g. 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE)
has materialized given robust boundary layer heating. Along the
periphery of this ridge is modestly strong westerly flow aloft,
contributing to 25-30 kts of effective bulk shear. As such, storms
that continue to intensify through the afternoon will likely become
multicells or transient supercells with an isolated damaging gust
threat. Since the overall severe threat should remain sparse and
localized, a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance is not currently
anticipated.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0100 AM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025/
...Synopsis...
Fire weather concerns are expected to remain fairly localized on
Wednesday across the country. The upper trough currently migrating
into the lower Colorado River Valley is expected to begin
de-amplifying and drifting into the northern Rockies through the day
Wednesday. This will weaken winds across much of the Four
Corners/central Rockies where dry/breezy conditions have been
prevalent for the past several days. Little moisture recovery is
anticipated, so areas that typically see terrain-enhanced winds may
experience periods of elevated fire weather conditions Wednesday
afternoon. Currently, this appears most probable from northeast AZ
into eastern UT, but confidence in the coverage/duration of elevated
conditions is too limited for highlights.
Further to the west, zonal flow over the northern Sierra Nevada is
expected to increase as the weakening upper trough departs the Great
Basin. This will promote a downslope flow regime across northeast NV
and adjacent portions of CA and OR. Model guidance continues to show
uncertainty regarding the strength of the downslope winds and
potential for fire weather concerns. More aggressive solutions hint
that areas of elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions
are possible. Regardless, ERCs near or below the 80th percentile
should help modulate a more robust fire weather

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1225 PM CDT Tue Jun 24 2025
Valid 251200Z - 261200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE CAROLINAS
TO THE SOUTHEAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe wind gusts are possible over much of the Southeast, with
widely scattered strong to severe storms possible from the northern
High Plains eastward toward the Mid Atlantic.
...Synopsis...
The CONUS pattern will feature a trough across the western CONUS and
a strong ridge across the eastern CONUS Wednesday morning. This
pattern will deamplify during the period. A strong mid-level jet
streak will extend from northern Ontario to the Northeast with a
weak upper-low over Florida. A mid-level shortwave trough will move
from the central Plains to the western Great Lakes Wednesday
afternoon/evening.
...Central/northern High Plains...
A weak lee trough will extend from southeast Montana to northeast
Colorado. Weak to moderate instability will develop along this zone
during the afternoon and evening. Shear will be modest (25-30 knots)
with a few multicell clusters possible. Isolated large hail and
isolated severe wind gusts will be the primary hazards.
...Midwest into the western Great Lakes...
Moderate to strong instability is expected to develop south of a
warm front across the Midwest. A belt of 50+ knot mid-level flow is
forecast to overspread the warm sector and provide sufficient shear
for storm organization. In addition, some stronger low-level shear
will develop as a low-level jet strengthens during the
afternoon/evening. The stronger/more organized storms in the area
could have some tornado threat, particularly if any backed flow can
develop. At this time, the threat is expected too low for higher
severe weather probabilities.
...Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic...
Additional storms are likely to develop within a moderate to
strongly unstable environment along a frontal zone from the Midwest
to the Mid-Atlantic. Shear will be mostly weak which should limit
the overall threat. However, strong instability and a very moist
environment may support some threat for wet microbursts.
...Carolinas into the Southeast...
Extreme instability is expected to develop from the Carolinas into
the Southeast amid mid to upper 70s dewpoints and temperatures in
the 90s. This extreme instability and scattered to widespread storm
development should be sufficient for a damaging wind threat. In
addition, stronger mid-level northeasterly flow is expected across
the eastern Carolinas into southern Georgia. This may result in even
greater storm organization and clustering where the stronger shear
is present. Some large hail is possible with damaging wind gusts as
the primary threat.
...Florida...
Cool temperatures aloft and moderate to potentially strong
instability is expected to develop across the Florida Panhandle on
Wednesday. Shear is forecast around 20 to 25 knots which may result
in a few multicell clusters capable of damaging wind gusts. The
greater threat should be mostly focused on the west coast where the
sea-breeze convergence is stronger and shear is slightly greater
amid westerly low-level flow.

weak upper-low over Florida. A mid-level shortwave trough will move
from the central Plains to the western Great Lakes Wednesday
afternoon/evening.
...Central/northern High Plains...
A weak lee trough will extend from southeast Montana to northeast
Colorado. Weak to moderate instability will develop along this zone
during the afternoon and evening. Shear will be modest (25-30 knots)
with a few multicell clusters possible. Isolated large hail and
isolated severe wind gusts will be the primary hazards.
...Midwest into the western Great Lakes...
Moderate to strong instability is expected to develop south of a
warm front across the Midwest. A belt of 50+ knot mid-level flow is
forecast to overspread the warm sector and provide sufficient shear
for storm organization. In addition, some stronger low-level shear
will develop as a low-level jet strengthens during the
afternoon/evening. The stronger/more organized storms in the area
could have some tornado threat, particularly if any backed flow can
develop. At this time, the threat is expected too low for higher
severe weather probabilities.
...Ohio Valley into the Mid-Atlantic...
Additional storms are likely to develop within a moderate to
strongly unstable environment along a frontal zone from the Midwest
to the Mid-Atlantic. Shear will be mostly weak which should limit
the overall threat. However, strong instability and a very moist
environment may support some threat for wet microbursts.
...Carolinas into the Southeast...
Extreme instability is expected to develop from the Carolinas into
the Southeast amid mid to upper 70s dewpoints and temperatures in
the 90s. This extreme instability and scattered to widespread storm
development should be sufficient for a damaging wind threat. In
addition, stronger mid-level northeasterly flow is expected across
the eastern Carolinas into southern Georgia. This may result in even
greater storm organization and clustering where the stronger shear
is present. Some large hail is possible with damaging wind gusts as
the primary threat.
...Florida...
Cool temperatures aloft and moderate to potentially strong
instability is expected to develop across the Florida Panhandle on
Wednesday. Shear is forecast around 20 to 25 knots which may result
in a few multicell clusters capable of damaging wind gusts. The
greater threat should be mostly focused on the west coast where the
sea-breeze convergence is stronger and shear is slightly greater
amid westerly low-level flow.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE CAROLINAS
TO THE SOUTHEAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe wind gusts are possible over much of the Southeast, with
widely scattered strong to severe storms possible from the northern
High Plains eastward toward the Mid Atlantic.
...Synopsis...
The CONUS pattern will feature a trough across the western CONUS and
a strong ridge across the eastern CONUS Wednesday morning. This
pattern will deamplify during the period. A strong mid-level jet
streak will extend from northern Ontario to the Northeast with a
weak upper-low over Florida. A mid-level shortwave trough will move
from the central Plains to the western Great Lakes Wednesday
afternoon/evening.
