983 ACUS01 KWNS 230053 SWODY1 SPC AC 230052 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0652 PM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 Valid 230100Z - 231200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Scattered thunderstorms are expected mainly over parts of Arizona and into New Mexico tonight. Severe weather is not forecast, although small hail cannot be ruled out. ...Discussion... Scattered thunderstorms persist this evening ahead of an upper low moving across northern Baja CA, affecting much of southern into eastern AZ. Area soundings and objective analysis indicate a few hundred J/kg MUCAPE is present, though primarily elevated in nature. All this is occurring within a deep southerly flow regime, with moderate deep layer shear. Any embedded cellular activity may produce small hail given cold profiles aloft. As cooling aloft spreads further into NM overnight, additional rain and elevated thunderstorms will develop over the area. Forecast soundings indicate favorable deep-layer shear will persist, with midlevel moistening above an initially dry boundary layer. Again, minimal/small hail will be possible given cold air aloft and favorable shear for cellular storm mode. ..Jewell.. 11/23/2025 $$
