742 ACUS03 KWNS 071913 SWODY3 SPC AC 071913 Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0213 PM CDT Mon Jul 07 2025 Valid 091200Z - 101200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NORTHERN PLAINS...AND OVER PARTS OF THE APPALACHIANS AND MID ATLANTIC REGION... ...SUMMARY... At least isolated severe storms are possible in the northern Plains on Wednesday, with locally large hail and areas of severe gusts. Isolated damaging gusts are also possible across parts of the eastern U.S. ...Northern Plains... An upper high will remain over the Four Corners states on Wednesday, with ridge extending northward into MT. This ridge will break down late in the day as a large trough sweeps along the Canadian border, and a separate smaller shortwave moves across the Great Basin. During the day, a surface trough will deepen over the northern to central High Plains, with southerly surface winds maintaining a plume of 60s F dewpoints. Strong heating will occur beneath the initial ridge, resulting in an uncapped air mass. Storms will form near this trough from the central Dakotas into western NE, with widely scattered storms traveling southeastward and producing localized corridors of large hail and damaging gusts. A significant hail storm may occur as upper-level winds increase, elongating hodographs beneath the steep-lapse rates aloft. ...VA...MD...DE...Carolinas... An upper trough will continue eastward across eastern Ontario and into Quebec, with modest southwest winds of 30 kt at 500 mb as far south as VA. In contrast to the previous day, lapse rates and instability are not forecast to be as strong, due to lingering clouds and perhaps areas of outflow from early day rain. However, the air mass will again destabilize, with modest instability developing. Storms will form over the higher terrain during the later afternoon, with areas of strong outflow pushing east through evening. ..Jewell.. 07/07/2025 $$
