393 ACUS03 KWNS 220832 SWODY3 SPC AC 220830 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0230 AM CST Sat Nov 22 2025 Valid 241200Z - 251200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EAST TEXAS AND INTO THE MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... Strong to severe storms are expected across eastern Texas into the Mid-Mississippi Valley on Monday afternoon and evening. Isolated Large hail and a tornado or two will be the primary threats. ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will deamplify as it moves from the central Plains to the southern Great Lakes on Monday. A secondary mid-level trough will amplify as it moves through the northern Plains and into the Upper Midwest. A more consolidated surface low will develop across the Upper Midwest by the end of the period. A warm front will lift from near the Gulf Coast into the Mid-Mississippi Valley by Monday evening. A somewhat diffuse cold frontal zone will extend from the Ozarks to the southern Plains. ...Eastern Texas into the Mid-Mississippi Valley... Rich low-level moisture will advect northward across East Texas and Louisiana on Monday. This will result in moderate instability ahead of the frontal zone from East Texas into Louisiana. Extensive cloudcover may be a limiting factor to greater destabilization, but sufficient instability is expected for strong to severe storms Monday afternoon/evening. A messier storm mode is expected near the ArkLaTex, but a more favorable zone may exist south of this area where supercell storm mode will be favored. Long hodographs with largely streamwise low-level hodographs may result in some tornado threat, in addition to the large hail threat. While the greatest threat is expected during the late afternoon to early evening, some threat will likely persist into the overnight period as a mostly uncapped moderately unstable airmass is expected to persist amid rich low-level moisture. ..Bentley.. 11/22/2025 $$
