518 ACUS48 KWNS 210952 SWOD48 SPC AC 210951 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0351 AM CST Fri Nov 21 2025 Valid 241200Z - 291200Z ...DISCUSSION... As a mid-level trough deamplifies and moves from the central Plains to the Midwest on D4/Monday, low-level moisture will advect northward across eastern Texas, Louisiana, and southern Arkansas. Some filtered heating should result in moderate instability by early afternoon with moderate to strong shear. Morning thunderstorms will likely have a stabilizing effect on the northern extent, but south of this activity, a relatively more favorable zone for supercells may exist on Monday afternoon. Relatively weak lapse rates are the primary limiting factor to severe weather probabilities at this time. On D5/Tuesday, the surface front will stall across Louisiana and Mississippi with weak to moderate instability to its south. Forcing will remain somewhat nebulous, but given persistent moderate shear, a few stronger storms will be possible from eastern Louisiana to northern Alabama. D6/Wednesday and beyond will feature a strong area of high pressure across much of the eastern CONUS. This will push 60F dewpoints into the Gulf/Atlantic and bring an end to any severe weather threat and potentially any thunderstorm threat east of the Rockies for the remainder of the week. ..Bentley.. 11/21/2025
