Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1258 AM CDT Thu Apr 03 2025 Valid 041200Z - 051200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST TEXAS ACROSS MUCH OF ARKANSAS AND INTO FAR SOUTHERN MISSOURI... ...SUMMARY... Several clusters of strong to severe storms are possible from central Texas across the ArkLaTex and into the lower Ohio Valley Friday and Friday night. The greatest threat for tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds will be from the ArkLaTex across much of Arkansas into far southern Missouri, including strong tornado potential. ...Synopsis... On Friday, a broad fetch of south/southwest winds aloft will extend from the southern Plains into the Midwest, as an upper low moves across AZ/NM. A surface boundary will extend roughly from the OH Valley into central TX early on Friday, with a wave of low pressure developing during the day over northeast TX/southeast OK. This feature will then translate northeastward along the front into IN/OH late. As this occurs, a rather rapid warm frontal surge will occur over AR and into far southern MO, aided by persistent southerly deep-layer winds from surface to 850 mb. This will also result in a rapid increase in instability, and shear favorable for supercells with tornado potential. Behind the low, a cold front will push across the remainder of northern TX and into south-central TX. Although post frontal, elevated instability will persist, with the influence of the upper trough to the west resulting in overnight hail potential into central TX. ...From Texas into Arkansas and toward the lower Ohio Valley... Scattered showers and storms are likely near the front from the Red River into northern AR/southern MO early in the day. Sufficient instability and lapse rates, along with strong deep-layer shear will favor hail potential. During the day, areas of heating will occur over the warm sector, which will remain very moist. Afternoon supercells are anticipated over northeast TX/southeast OK into western AR, with a continuation across northern AR/southern MO through evening. This area will experience substantial pressure falls with a favorable corridor for a strong tornado threat. Depicted model hodographs indicate effective SRH over 400 m2/s2 will be common. Given continued northward motion of the warm front across southeast MO into the OH Valley late, storms should be able to persist/ride along with the front with access to unstable air mass. Overnight, cool temperatures aloft with the upper trough and a surge of elevated theta-e from the southeast and atop the surface cold front should favor widespread storms with large hail expected into central TX. ..Jewell.. 04/03/2025 Read more

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1239 AM CDT Thu Apr 03 2025 Valid 031200Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE ARKLATEX REGION INTO WESTERN TENNESSEE... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are expected along/near a frontal zone from the southern Plains into the Tennessee Valley region. The most concentrated corridor will be from the Arklatex into western Tennessee were very large hail and a few strong tornadoes are possible. ...Southern Plains to the Tennessee Valley Region... Western U.S. trough continues to settle south with the strongest flow now extending across northern Mexico within the base of this feature. As a result, latest model guidance suggests broad height rises will occur across much of the CONUS today with the only appreciable falls expected over northern Mexico and across New England. Even so, at least one notable disturbance will eject into the southern Plains during the day1 period. Latest water-vapor imagery suggests a short wave is approaching far West TX, as a new baroclinic leaf is beginning to mature immediately downstream from NM into northeast Mexico. In response, southeasterly 1km winds are increasing across much of TX and 50kt LLJ should focus into the Arklatex by daybreak. In the absence of appreciable large-scale ascent, LLJ will likely modulate convective processes much of the period; although, diurnal heating will also contribute south of the synoptic front. Early this morning, synoptic front extends across western KY-central AR-southwest TX. Seasonally high PW values (1.5-1.8 inches) will extend along this frontal zone from TX into the TN Valley, and modestly steep mid-level lapse rates will persist along this corridor. As a result, forecast soundings exhibit substantial MUCAPE north of the wind shift, with SBCAPE in excess of 3000 J/kg, just south of the synoptic front by mid afternoon. Strong/severe elevated convection is expected to develop prior to the start of the period along the nose of the LLJ. Supercells could certainly produce large/very large hail given thermodynamic profiles. Latest thinking is the frontal zone will move very little through the period and a sharp demarcation between surface-based and elevated convection will be noted. Of particular concern will be the updrafts that generate along, just south of the wind shift across the Arklatex by mid afternoon. Deep-layer flow favors updrafts tracking along the frontal zone, and low-level shear will be maximized within a very moist and strongly sheared environment. In addition to very large hail, a few strong tornadoes may develop with supercells that maintain their surface-based inflow. LLJ will gradually lift across the TN Valley into the OH Valley during the latter half of the period, then increase again across TX late. Lack of meaningful forcing across much of the eastern TN Valley region suggests diurnal heating will be the primary instigator in robust convective development. ..Darrow/Weinman.. 04/03/2025 Read more

MD 0368 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 103... FOR EASTERN INDIANA INTO WESTERN OHIO
Mesoscale Discussion 0368 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0946 PM CDT Wed Apr 02 2025 Areas affected...Eastern Indiana into western Ohio Concerning...Tornado Watch 103... Valid 030246Z - 030415Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 103 continues. SUMMARY...An organized MCS capable of producing swaths of severe wind gusts and embedded tornadoes will continue tracking eastward across eastern Indiana into western Ohio. DISCUSSION...A NNE/SSW-oriented MCS (with embedded supercells) is tracking eastward across eastern IN into western OH -- with the northern portion of the line moving at 60 kt and southern part at 45 kt. This system has a history of producing destructive wind gusts and embedded tornadoes. Ahead of these storms, the ILN VWP is sampling an 80-kt low-level jet (at 2 km AGL), which combined with moist/unstable inflow (lower/middle 60s dewpoints -- higher farther south), should support its maintenance with eastward extent (especially the southern portion of the line where instability is greater). The primary concern with this activity continues to be swaths of severe wind gusts (generally 70-80 mph) and embedded tornadoes, given around 60 kt of 0-1 km shear/550 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH (per ILN VWP). With a west-southwesterly deep-layer shear vector, any NNW/SSE-oriented portions of the line will pose the greatest risk of severe wind and tornadoes. ..Weinman.. 04/03/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 0369 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0953 PM CDT Wed Apr 02 2025 Areas affected...parts of wrn and middle TN...wrn and central KY...adjacent sern IN...swrn OH Concerning...Tornado Watch 102...98... Valid 030253Z - 030500Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 102, 98 continues. SUMMARY...The potential for strong, damaging wind gusts, and perhaps a few tornadoes, appears likely to persist with a line of storms overspreading the Ohio River vicinity, including the Greater Louisville into Cincinnati vicinities, through midnight-1 AM EDT. Trends are being monitored for the possibility of additional watches to the east of Tornado Watches 102 and 103. DISCUSSION...Northeast of the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio Rivers, through the lower Ohio River vicinity, boundary-layer instability remains weaker due to more marginal boundary-layer dew points and weak mid/upper-level lapse rates. Forecast soundings suggest that CAPE (perhaps on the order of 500-1000 J/kg) may be largely confined to the 850-500 mb layer, perhaps aided by steeper lapse rates associated with a remnant elevated mixed-layer. Given the intense lower/mid-tropospheric jet streak (including 60-80+ kt southwesterly within this layer) now overspreading this region, profiles still appear conducive to the downward transfer of damaging gusts to the surface in the heavier rain cores. Continuing tornadic potential remains more unclear with stronger convection becoming undercut by the surface cold pool. However, given a saturated near surface-layer with at least moist adiabatic lapse rates, and the strong to extreme nature of the low-level shear, meso-vortices with enhanced wind damage, and perhaps tornado, potential may persist into the 04-06Z time frame. ..Kerr.. 04/03/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
