116 ACUS02 KWNS 231706 SWODY2 SPC AC 231704 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1204 PM CDT Wed Sep 23 2026 Valid 241200Z - 251200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Thursday. ...Synopsis... An upper trough will approach the Northwest by Friday morning. The ridge within the Plains will remain in place through the period. Another trough along the East Coast will undergo modest amplification. A belt of modest mid-level southwesterly flow will exist from the Southwest into the southern High Plains. Given the plume of moisture/precipitation currently within parts of these regions, surface heating/destabilization will generally be limited and mid-level lapse rates will be quite weak. While a stronger storm or two is possible along the periphery of the clouds/precipitation, organized severe weather potential will remain low. ..Wendt.. 09/23/2026 $$
