312 ACUS03 KWNS 250744 SWODY3 SPC AC 250743 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0143 AM CST Tue Nov 25 2025 Valid 271200Z - 281200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Isolated thunderstorms are possible across southeast Florida on Thursday. Severe storms are not expected. ...Discussion... A large, expansive mid-level ridge will be present across the eastern CONUS on Thursday. Offshore flow will be present across the entire eastern half of the CONUS as high pressure builds into the Plains. This high pressure will expand a dry, continental polar airmass which should keep any thunderstorm chances limited. A few isolated thunderstorms are possible ahead of the front across Florida, but weak instability and modest lapse rates should keep any severe storm threat limited. Significant temperature differences between the Great Lakes and the cold airmass aloft should result in some instability in the Great Lakes. Deeper convection that can develop over the lakes with some graupel could result in a few lightning flashes given an EL around -20C. However, given the mostly below freezing temperature profile, the likelihood of mixed-phase elements remains uncertain and a general thunderstorm line has not been included at this time. ..Bentley.. 11/25/2025 $$
