Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0221 PM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025 Valid 021200Z - 031200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN ROCKIES... ...SUMMARY... At least scattered storms are possible across a large portion of the continental U.S. on Wednesday. A couple of severe gusts may accompany the stronger storms over portions of the Northern Rockies. ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will meander across the Northeast while upper ridging persists over the central CONUS and a mid-level trough advances over the Pacific Northwest on Wednesday. Seasonal moisture and associated diurnal heating will encourage at least scattered development across most of the CONUS during the afternoon and evening hours. However, a couple of thunderstorms embedded in the stronger mid-level flow over the Northern Rockies could become strong. Given adequate shear and instability in this region, a few of the stronger storms could become severe. ...Portions of the Northern Rockies... The periphery of relatively greater mid-level moisture is poised to traverse the western extent of the upper ridge on Wednesday. Stronger west-southwesterly mid-level flow will graze the Northern Rockies due to the approach of the upper trough to the west. Robust boundary layer heating in this region will boost low-level lapse rates to 9 C/km over several locales, as 8.5 C/km mid-level lapse rates overspreads the well-mixed boundary layer. MLCAPE may exceed 1000 J/kg over many areas, and thunderstorms accessing this buoyancy will be embedded in stronger mid-level flow and 30-40 kts of effective bulk shear. As such, stronger multicells may produce a mix of wet and dry downbursts, perhaps inducing a couple of severe gusts. ..Squitieri.. 06/30/2025 Read more

DISCUSSION...Scattered convection is developing along the eastern periphery of a remnant west-east oriented outflow boundary draped across portions of east-central Oklahoma into northwest Arkansas. Clear skies ahead of the boundary this morning amid a rich low-level moisture environment has led to rapid destabilization, with MLCAPE values approach 2500 J/kg. Weak flow aloft should limit storm organization, but some clustering of storms may occur with time during the afternoon as additional storms continue to develop along/near the boundary. Isolated damaging winds should be the primary threat, along with some potential for severe hail with the strongest cells. ..Karstens/Hart.. 06/30/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

DISCUSSION...Along a weak cold front, a broken line of thunderstorms is bisecting Lower MI into far northern IN. Airmass immediately downstream has warmed into the low to mid 80s, with heating slowed farther east in the wake of an MCV over north-central/northeast OH. Moist low-levels amid weak mid/upper-level rates, combined with generally weak to modest low/mid-level shear, should serve to mitigate the overall severe threat. Small hail production is possible with some speed shear in the upper portion of the buoyancy profile. Locally strong gusts in wet microbursts should be the main hazard, but that will likely be modulated by the sub-optimal thermodynamic environment. ..Grams/Hart.. 06/30/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

DISCUSSION...Convective development is increasing across western PA, downstream of an eastward-moving MCV over central OH, and along the lee of the central Appalachians across eastern WV. Overall thermodynamic environment appears fairly ubiquitous, outside of the higher terrain, with surface temperatures in the 80s and dew points in the upper 60s to mid 70s. 12Z soundings sampled poor mid to upper lapse rates and nearly saturated profiles east of the Appalachians, with somewhat drier and not quite as poor lapse rates across the Upper OH Valley. This combined with modest deep-layer shear will probably modulate a potentially greater downburst threat. It may be that some degree of loose clustering will be necessary for strong gust production capable of more than localized tree damage. ..Grams/Hart.. 06/30/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1229 PM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025 Valid 011200Z - 021200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC... ...SUMMARY... Scattered strong to severe storms are possible across parts of the Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast on Tuesday afternoon/evening. An isolated severe storm may also occur over parts of the central High Plains. ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will traverse the Northeast as an upper ridge persists over the central U.S. and a mid-level low meanders over CA tomorrow (Tuesday). The East Coast mid-level trough will encourage the eastward advancement of a cold front, which will provide enough lift for scattered to widespread thunderstorm development across the Carolinas into the Northeast. Rich low-level moisture preceding the front will encourage enough buoyancy, amid marginal but adequate vertical wind shear, to support strong thunderstorms, some of which could be severe. A couple of strong to severe storms are possible along the periphery of the upper ridge over parts of the northern Rockies into the central High Plains. ...Northeast into the Southeast... As the surface cold front advances eastward across the eastern U.S., surface temperatures will warm into the 80s F to near 90 F, amid 70+ F dewpoints from the Southeast to the Mid-Atlantic, boosting SBCAPE into the 2000-3500 J/kg range by afternoon peak heating. Relatively poor mid-level lapse rates will limit CAPE to tall/thin profiles. However, the magnitude of buoyancy, combined with widespread thunderstorm coverage over a large area, will foster ample opportunity for at least isolated damaging gusts with wet downbursts, from the Southeast to New England. A more concentrated area of damaging gust potential exists over parts of the Mid_Atlantic, where a Category 2/Slight Risk remains in place. Here, line segments are expected to organize amid a region of maximum buoyancy and 30 kts of effective bulk shear, driven by stronger west-southwesterly mid-level flow grazing the area. ...Portions of the Northern Rockies... Mid-level monsoonal moisture is forecast to crest the upper ridge amid modest 500 mb west-southwesterly flow over parts of the Northern Rockies, where guidance consensus shows PWATs reaching 0.8 inches in spots. High-based thunderstorms will develop by afternoon peak heating, atop a well-mixed boundary layer extending to 500 mb via inverted-v thermodynamic profiles. The aforementioned mid-level moisture, combined with steep tropospheric lapse rates, will support over 500 J/kg MLCAPE. This buoyancy may support robust enough updrafts and subsequent storm cores in an environment where ample evaporative cooling may take place to support isolated severe gusts. ...Central High Plains... Low-level upslope flow, along with strong diurnal heating, and the passage of a small impulse embedded in the upper ridge, will all serve as mechanisms for convective initiation tomorrow afternoon. Though storms should be isolated, they will develop amid 8 C/km low and mid-level lapse rates that will boost MLCAPE into the 1500-2500 J/kg range. Modest directional vertical wind shear will support somewhat curved/elongated hodographs and around 35 kts of effective bulk shear. As such, a few multicells/transient supercells may develop and produce isolated severe wind/hail. ..Squitieri.. 06/30/2025 Read more

Low-level upslope flow, along with strong diurnal heating, and the passage of a small impulse embedded in the upper ridge, will all serve as mechanisms for convective initiation tomorrow afternoon. Though storms should be isolated, they will develop amid 8 C/km low and mid-level lapse rates that will boost MLCAPE into the 1500-2500 J/kg range. Modest directional vertical wind shear will support somewhat curved/elongated hodographs and around 35 kts of effective bulk shear. As such, a few multicells/transient supercells may develop and produce isolated severe wind/hail. ..Squitieri.. 06/30/2025 Read more

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1229 PM CDT Mon Jun 30 2025 Valid 011200Z - 021200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF THE MID-ATLANTIC... ...SUMMARY... Scattered strong to severe storms are possible across parts of the Mid-Atlantic into the Northeast on Tuesday afternoon/evening. An isolated severe storm may also occur over parts of the central High Plains. ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will traverse the Northeast as an upper ridge persists over the central U.S. and a mid-level low meanders over CA tomorrow (Tuesday). The East Coast mid-level trough will encourage the eastward advancement of a cold front, which will provide enough lift for scattered to widespread thunderstorm development across the Carolinas into the Northeast. Rich low-level moisture preceding the front will encourage enough buoyancy, amid marginal but adequate vertical wind shear, to support strong thunderstorms, some of which could be severe. A couple of strong to severe storms are possible along the periphery of the upper ridge over parts of the northern Rockies into the central High Plains. ...Northeast into the Southeast... As the surface cold front advances eastward across the eastern U.S., surface temperatures will warm into the 80s F to near 90 F, amid 70+ F dewpoints from the Southeast to the Mid-Atlantic, boosting SBCAPE into the 2000-3500 J/kg range by afternoon peak heating. Relatively poor mid-level lapse rates will limit CAPE to tall/thin profiles. However, the magnitude of buoyancy, combined with widespread thunderstorm coverage over a large area, will foster ample opportunity for at least isolated damaging gusts with wet downbursts, from the Southeast to New England. A more concentrated area of damaging gust potential exists over parts of the Mid_Atlantic, where a Category 2/Slight Risk remains in place. Here, line segments are expected to organize amid a region of maximum buoyancy and 30 kts of effective bulk shear, driven by stronger west-southwesterly mid-level flow grazing the area. ...Portions of the Northern Rockies... Mid-level monsoonal moisture is forecast to crest the upper ridge amid modest 500 mb west-southwesterly flow over parts of the Northern Rockies, where guidance consensus shows PWATs reaching 0.8 inches in spots. High-based thunderstorms will develop by afternoon peak heating, atop a well-mixed boundary layer extending to 500 mb via inverted-v thermodynamic profiles. The aforementioned mid-level moisture, combined with steep tropospheric lapse rates, will support over 500 J/kg MLCAPE. This buoyancy may support robust enough updrafts and subsequent storm cores in an environment where ample evaporative cooling may take place to support isolated severe gusts. ...Central High Plains...
