335 ACUS01 KWNS 091929 SWODY1 SPC AC 091927 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0227 PM CDT Thu Oct 09 2025 Valid 092000Z - 101200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe storms are not forecast today or tonight. ...20z Outlook... Only minor changes were made to introduce thunder across southern Wyoming in response to trends. Otherwise, no changes are needed to the D1 Convective Outlook. See previous discussion below for more information. ..Thornton.. 10/09/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1108 AM CDT Thu Oct 09 2025/ ...Discussion... Upper ridging will be prevalent over the Rockies/Plains, with surface high pressure over the Midwest and much of the East. While severe storms are not expected, thunderstorms will occur across the coastal Southeast, and across the Upper Midwest and portions of the middle/lower Missouri Valley tonight near/ahead of an advancing front. In the West, persistent southwesterly flow between the upper ridging centered over west Texas and cyclone off the Pacific Northwest will continue to advect seasonally high moisture content associated with Tropical Storm Priscilla into the Southwest and Great Basin. Modest boundary-layer heating will contribute to adequate destabilization for lightning within deeper convective updrafts, but overall storm intensity will likely be limited by poor lapse rates. $$
