815 ACUS01 KWNS 261936 SWODY1 SPC AC 261935 Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0135 PM CST Wed Nov 26 2025 Valid 262000Z - 271200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe storms are not forecast through tonight. ...20z Update... No changes are needed to the current D1 Convective Outlook. See previous discussion below for more information. ..Thornton.. 11/26/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1024 AM CST Wed Nov 26 2025/ ...Synopsis... A deep cyclone (992 mb) will occlude today over the upper Great Lakes while a cold front moves eastward/southeastward across the Appalachians and off the Atlantic coast/into north FL by tonight. The threat for thunderstorms appears negligible along/ahead of the cold front from the Carolinas into the Tidewater given only weak forcing for ascent and poor thermodynamic profiles based on regional 12z soundings. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible along the front across north FL/southeast GA greater low-level moisture and buoyancy compared to areas farther northeast. A separate area of sea breeze convection/isolated thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon across southeast FL, despite relatively warm temperatures around 600 mb. A band of showers/shallow convection along the cold front will spread eastward today across WV and western PA/NY with gusty winds, but lightning and convective wind damage appear unlikely. Overnight, a lake effect convective band is expected across eastern Lake Erie, where buoyancy depth could become marginally sufficient for charge separation and isolated lightning flashes, though the threat will remain on the margins for an outlook area. Otherwise, a few thunderstorms will linger across deep south TX through about midday until the cold front moves southward into Mexico. $$
