Severe potential appears low on Tuesday. ...Synopsis... The primary upper-level features of interest will be the main low in the Southwest that will phase with the post-tropical remnants of Polo. Moisture advecting northward will interact with a weak surface boundary extending over much of the Plains. The upper low will eventually move into the southern High Plains during the evening/overnight period. Deep-layer flow, with a large southerly component, will intensify as this occurs. Scattered to numerous storms will develop within the Southwest and spread eastward into the southern High Plains. Cloud cover will generally be expansive ahead of the upper-level system, limiting afternoon heating. Storm coverage will be greatest during the evening and overnight. Wind fields would support some stronger gusts with convection despite limited destabilization. Coupled with poor mid-level lapse rates from the tropical airmass and largely meridional shear vector, overall potential for organized/severe activity appears low. ..Wendt.. 09/27/2026 $$
