DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK  
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
1249 AM CDT SUN AUG 31 2025  
 
VALID 011200Z - 021200Z  
   
..NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
 
 
   
..SUMMARY
 
 
SEVERE POTENTIAL IS LOW FOR TOMORROW (MONDAY).  
   
..SYNOPSIS
 
 
BROAD CYCLONIC UPPER FLOW OVER THE EASTERN U.S., WITH UPPER RIDGING  
WEST OF THE ROCKIES, WILL ENCOURAGE A MID-LEVEL NORTHWESTERLY FLOW  
REGIME ACROSS THE PLAINS. SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE EAST  
OF THE MS RIVER TO THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD, AND OVER THE ROCKIES.  
HOWEVER, AN AXIS OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE ACROSS  
THE PLAINS, WHERE DAYTIME SURFACE HEATING WILL SUPPORT ISOLATED TO  
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. LAPSE RATES SHOULD GENERALLY  
REMAIN AROUND OR UNDER 6.5 C/KM, CONTRIBUTING TO TALL AND THIN  
MLCAPE PROFILES GENERALLY WITHIN THE 500-1500 J/KG RANGE.  
THUNDERSTORM UPDRAFTS SHOULD NOT BE OVERLY INTENSE. HOWEVER, SPEED  
SHEAR, DRIVEN BY THE STRONGER NORTHWESTERLY MID-LEVEL FLOW, WILL  
RESULT IN MODESTLY ELONGATED HODOGRAPHS, WITH OVER 35 KTS OF  
EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR IN SPOTS. A FEW STORMS MAY BECOME ORGANIZED  
MULTICELLS, LIKELY ACCOMPANIED BY SUB-SEVERE WIND AND HAIL. HOWEVER,  
A COUPLE STORMS COULD PRODUCE MARGINALLY SEVERE GUSTS IF STRONGER  
BUOYANCY IS REALIZED. SEVERE PROBABILITIES HAVE BEEN WITHHELD THIS  
OUTLOOK, BUT MAY NEED TO BE INTRODUCED IN SUBSEQUENT OUTLOOKS IF  
INSTABILITY IS GREATER THAN CURRENTLY FORECAST.
