233 ACUS02 KWNS 230654 SWODY2 SPC AC 230652 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1252 AM CST Sun Nov 23 2025 Valid 241200Z - 251200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN EAST TEXAS TO FAR SOUTHERN ARKANSAS... ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from later Monday afternoon into Monday night across east Texas towards the Ark-La-Miss. A few tornadoes along with large hail and damaging winds are anticipated. ...Synopsis... A mid-level shortwave trough will traverse the central/southern states on Monday with a second mid-level trough advancing from the Northwest to the northern Plains. At the surface, high pressure will dominate much of the eastern CONUS with broad low pressure across the Plains and Upper Midwest. A warm front near the Gulf Coast Monday morning will lift north through the day. ...East Texas to southern Arkansas... Elevated thunderstorms will be ongoing at the beginning of the period from north-central Texas to southern Arkansas to the north of a warm front. Isolated large hail is possible with these storms, but a more widespread threat is not expected during the morning. The warm front will advect northward quickly through the day and lead to moderate destabilization across the warm sector. A messy storm mode is expected along the warm front for much of the day with some marginal severe threat. The greatest severe weather threat should begin by mid-afternoon as height falls overspread the warm sector and slight mid-level cooling results in an uncapped warm sector. This should result in scattered supercell development within the open warm-sector by late afternoon. A strengthening low-level jet (40-45 knots) is expected to overspread the warm sector during this same timeframe. This may result in a brief window during the late afternoon to early evening where a few tornadoes (perhaps strong) could occur. A nocturnal wind/tornado threat may persist into the late evening/overnight period as rich low-level moisture will help to maintain an unstable boundary layer into the overnight period where cyclonically curved low-level hodographs will persist. ..Bentley.. 11/23/2025 $$
