Severe thunderstorms are unlikely Tuesday. ...Synopsis... An upper-level cyclone over the northern Rockies will gradually weaken as it transitions to an open wave over the northern Plains and southern Canada Tuesday. Broad and weak southwest flow aloft will continue over the Southwest and Plains as ridging builds over the Southeast. A weak surface low and trailing front initially over the central Plains will lift northward slowly with the upper cyclone through the period. Modest southerly low-level flow will support 50s to low 60s F surface dewpoints, sufficient for modest destabilization ahead of the front. Isolated thunderstorms are possible within the broader warm advection regime across parts of the Plains from South TX into the Mid-MO Valley. However, weak instability and vertical shear suggests little, if any, convective organization is likely. This should preclude more than sporadic severe potential. ..Lyons.. 10/25/2026 $$
