Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0657 PM CST Thu Nov 20 2025

Valid 210100Z - 211200Z

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
CENTRAL/NORTHEAST TX...SOUTHEAST OK...WESTERN/CENTRAL AR...FAR
NORTHWEST LA...

...SUMMARY...
Storms capable of locally damaging wind and possibly a tornado or
two remain possible this evening from parts of the southern Plains
into Arkansas.

...Southern Plains into Arkansas...
Multiple areas of convection are ongoing across parts of the
southern Plains this evening, in advance of a mid/upper-level trough
that will continue to eject northeastward tonight. The greatest
remaining severe threat appears to reside from parts of
south-central into northeast TX, where MLCAPE of around 1000 J/kg
and strong deep-layer shear remain in place immediately downstream
of ongoing storms. At least transient supercell structures will be
possible through the evening, with a threat of locally damaging wind
and possibly marginal hail. Modest enhancement of low-level
hodographs (with 0-1 km SRH of 100-150 m2/s2) could support a brief
tornado threat. Some uptick in the damaging-wind threat could occur
with any upscale growth, before convection weakens as it encounters
diminishing buoyancy with eastward extent. See MCD 2216 for more
information regarding the short-term threat in this area.

Some storm redevelopment will be possible late tonight across
central TX, as an initially quasi-stationary boundary begins to move
eastward as a cold front. Buoyancy and deep-layer will remain
sufficient for some storm organization, and an isolated severe
threat could persist across this region overnight.

The "Convective Outlooks" issued by SPC can be thought of as a detailed discussion of the Severe Thunderstorm threat and it's associated risks nationwide. Risk levels range from Marginal to Slight, Enhanced, Moderate, and High and are issued based on the likelihood of 3 major severe weather threats; the risk of tornadoes, damaging winds, and hail. These discussions are often heavily laced meteorological terminology that may be difficult to understand without a background in the field. However understanding these discussions shouldn't be thought of as necessary. Instead, should DuPage county fall under one of these threat levels for severe weather, the response should be to have a heightened level of awareness about the deveoloping weather. Keep an eye on the "Watch County Notification" for any active severe weather watches issued for DuPage county; the "Hazardous Weather Outlook" and "Severe Weather Statement" can also be helpful in explaining the developing risk; additionally, watch for "Active Weather Warnings" and keep an eye on our "Regional Satellite and Radar" products which can be viewed with active watches/warnings or lightning activity.

Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1121 AM CST Thu Nov 20 2025

Valid 211200Z - 221200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered thunderstorms are expected from the Texas coast to the
central Appalachians tomorrow (Friday). Severe thunderstorms appear
unlikely.

...Synopsis...
A mid-level shortwave trough will traverse the TN Valley as an upper
low meanders over southern CA tomorrow (Friday). Isolated lightning
flashes may occur across southern CA into southwestern AZ as lift
and cooler temperatures aloft overspread the region in association
with the upper low. Across the TN Valley, the passage of the
aforementioned mid-level shortwave trough will encourage a low-level
warm-air advection regime. Modest upper support, in tandem with
mediocre buoyancy (driven primarily by low-level moisture) will
support isolated to scattered thunderstorms from eastern TX to the
central Appalachians through the day tomorrow.

...TN Valley Friday night...
As the low-amplitude mid-level shortwave trough overspreads the TN
Valley, low-level flow (however moist) should become highly veered
through the day Friday, resulting in unidirectional wind fields and
substantially reduced low-level convergence. However, by Friday
night (i.e. 03-09Z time frame), guidance does hint at a small
mid-level impulse traversing the TN Valley. Locally stronger flow
aloft with this impulse will support some speed shear/elongated
hodographs, resulting in 40+ kt effective bulk shear across the warm
sector ahead of an approaching surface cold front. An uptick in
thunderstorm coverage may occur during this time, and some of these
storms may become organized. Still, buoyancy will be weak, with no
more than a few hundred J/kg of thin MLCAPE given poor tropospheric
lapse rates. A stronger, sustained storm capable of producing a
damaging gust or brief tornado would be plausible with the
anticipated vertical wind shear given better buoyancy. However, the
current thinking is that buoyancy may be too limited to warrant
severe probabilities at this time.

Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0131 PM CST Thu Nov 20 2025

Valid 221200Z - 231200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated thunderstorms are possible from the Southwest into the
southern Plains and Southeast on Saturday, though severe
thunderstorm potential appears low.

...Synopsis...
An upper-level low will translate to an open wave while impinging on
the southern High Plains, with a broad mid-level trough poised to
traverse the Eastern Seaboard on Saturday. As a result, widespread
surface high pressure will overspread much of the central and
northern CONUS, limiting thunderstorm potential for these areas.
Adequate moisture ahead of the surface cold front, along with
frontal convergence, will encourage isolated to scattered
thunderstorm development Saturday afternoon and evening across
portions of eastern TX to the Carolina coastline. A few lightning
flashes are also possible across portions of AZ into NM as cold air
aloft from the upper low coincides with synoptic ascent of a
marginally moist, unstable airmass. Low-level moisture may be
locally more robust into western TX, where surface lee troughing,
encouraged by the approaching mid-level trough, will promote
warm-air/moisture advection from the Gulf. While the moist
southeasterly flow beneath 60-80 kt southwesterly 500 mb winds will
promote strong low-level shear, modest mid-level lapse rates atop a
stable boundary layer should limit the severe threat.
