333 ACUS01 KWNS 290050 SWODY1 SPC AC 290049 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0649 PM CST Fri Nov 28 2025 Valid 290100Z - 291200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not anticipated tonight. ...Synopsis... Evening water-vapor imagery shows a weak shortwave trough over the Plains moving eastward ahead of a second, more intense, upper trough over the central and northern Rockies. As the primary trough intensifies to the west, the increases in west/southwesterly midlevel flow will help deep a surface low moving from eastern CO/western KS into OK tonight. The southerly winds will allow modest northward moisture return tonight across parts of the southern Plains and Ozarks. As the surface low strengthens with the approach of the western trough this evening and overnight, low-level warm advection should also intensify. Strong isentropic ascent atop the cool and relatively dry boundary-layer over the southern Plains should support increasing coverage of showers and elevated thunderstorms already ongoing from central and western North TX into OK and eventually the lower MO Valley/Ozarks. With meager buoyancy aloft (MUCAPE 500 J/kg or less) the potential for stronger updrafts appears quite limited despite increasingly robust deep-layer shear profiles. While a stronger storm or two with the potential for small hail cannot be completely ruled out, severe potential remains very low. ..Lyons.. 11/29/2025 $$
