605 ACUS03 KWNS 161913 SWODY3 SPC AC 161912 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0112 PM CST Sun Nov 16 2025 Valid 181200Z - 191200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are possible across parts of the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys during the day on Tuesday, and also possible across parts of the southern Plains, mainly during the evening and overnight. A few strong storms are possible, but severe potential appears relatively low at this time. ...Synopsis... A mid-level shortwave trough will move from the Midwest to the Mid-Atlantic on Tuesday. Mid-level ridging will build into the central CONUS ahead of a larger trough pivoting across southern California and the Southwest. A frontal zone will persist from the Ohio Valley to north Texas with low to mid 60s dewpoints to the south of the front. ...Lower Ohio Valley... Elevated thunderstorms with small hail may be ongoing at the beginning of the period across the Lower Ohio Valley, on the nose of the low-level jet. A few strong storms may continue through the morning, but should wane by the afternoon as the low-level jet continues to veer/weaken and the thunderstorm activity moves east of the better instability axis. While some surface based instability is forecast along the frontal zone during the afternoon, subsidence in the wake of the morning activity should suppress any additional surface based thunderstorm activity. Tuesday night, thunderstorms may develop along the frontal zone in the southern Plains as modest enhancement of the low-level jet occurs ahead of the next trough. However, storm coverage appears isolated at this time. ..Bentley.. 11/16/2025 $$
