805 ACUS02 KWNS 161647 SWODY2 SPC AC 161646 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1046 AM CST Sun Nov 16 2025 Valid 171200Z - 181200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Scattered thunderstorms are possible Monday evening into early Tuesday morning across parts of the central/northern Plains into the Ozarks and mid Mississippi Valley. Additional storms are possible across the Southwest and central California. A few strong storms are possible in the Midwest, but severe-thunderstorm potential appears low at this time. ...Synopsis... A mid-level shortwave trough will cross the Plains and move into the Ozarks and Midwest on Monday while a mid-level trough amplifies across southern California. A strong trough will persist across the Northeast. A surface low will move from the central High Plains to the Ozarks on Monday with increasing low-level moisture to its southeast. ...Mid-Mississippi Valley... As the mid-level trough advances eastward on Monday, the low-level jet will strengthen across the eastern Plains and into the Ozarks. This will result in increasing elevated instability through the day. The strongest isentropic ascent appears to be mostly north of the greatest instability. This casts some doubt on storm coverage where the most favorable environment is present. Therefore, a few strong storms capable of small hail are likely, but confidence in large hail is not high enough for severe weather probabilities at this time. Farther west, thunderstorms are expected beneath the cold upper-level low but instability should remain too limited for a severe weather threat. ..Bentley.. 11/16/2025 $$
