Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1230 AM CDT Thu Apr 10 2025

Valid 101200Z - 111200Z

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PORTIONS OF
THE LOWER OHIO RIVER VALLEY INTO THE DEEP SOUTH...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong-severe thunderstorms are expected from portions of
the lower Ohio Valley into the Deep South this afternoon. Hail and
wind are the primary concerns.

...Discussion...

Strong 500mb speed max is translating across the central Plains
toward the Mid South. This will allow an upper trough to deepen east
of the MS River, and heights will fall accordingly as seasonally
cool mid-tropospheric temperatures settle into this region. Latest
model guidance suggests 500mb, -20C isotherm will extend across
northern GA/AL/MS by 18z, which results in very steep lapse rates
north of the digging jet.

Surface reflection to this digging trough is somewhat disjointed and
not particularly focused, though a synoptic front should extend
across southeast MO-central AR-northeast TX by mid day. Subsequent
southeast movement will take this boundary to near the central Gulf
Coast by sunrise Friday. Current thinking is strong boundary-layer
heating will allow convective temperatures to be breached by 19-20z
across portions of MO/IL along the weakly convergent front. While
moisture is quite limited ahead of the front, cool profiles favor
the potential for robust convection. This activity will spread
southeast toward the northern Gulf States with an attendant threat
of hail and wind.

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
1234 AM CDT Thu Apr 10 2025

Valid 111200Z - 121200Z

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN PARTS OF THE
SOUTHEAST...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe hail and damaging winds are possible across parts of
the Southeast from late morning through the afternoon Friday.

...Eastern NC vicinity...
A leading shortwave impulse rotating through the basal portion of a
broader eastern U.S. longwave trough will yield strengthening
forcing for ascent during the late morning. Some 00Z HREF members,
notably the NSSL and FV3 indicate thunderstorm development
increasing early in the day within the low-level warm conveyor ahead
of a deepening but weak surface cyclone. Should this occur, it would
be ill-timed with respect to peak boundary-layer heating and
displaced east of the moderate mid-level lapse rate plume. But it
would be coincident with modifying moisture return characterized by
mid to upper 50s dew points over eastern NC.

Other guidance indicates a separate round of afternoon storm
development confined to near the surface cyclone in the eastern
Piedmont of NC, while a pronounced mid-level dry slot limits storm
development with southward extent into SC/GA. The degree of surface
heating along the northwest extent of the weak buoyancy plume is
quite uncertain. But mid-level lapse rates approaching 7 C/km and
moderate deep-layer shear may yield isolated severe hail and locally
strong gusts within afternoon storms.

...North FL...
Greater boundary-layer heating is anticipated ahead of the trailing
portion of the cold front that extends into the northeast Gulf.
Consensus of guidance suggests this heating will aid in isolated to
scattered thunderstorms during the afternoon, south of the mid-level
dry slot. While low-level flow will be veered and weak ahead of the
front, pronounced deep-layer speed shear is expected amid a 60-70 kt
500-mb jet. This should favor mid-level rotation in a few cells with
a threat of isolated large hail and localized damaging winds. This
activity should shift off the Atlantic Coast or weaken over land by
early evening.
