662 ACUS02 KWNS 210652 SWODY2 SPC AC 210651 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1251 AM CST Fri Nov 21 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. ...Discussion... Multiple embedded shortwave troughs will exist within the broader trough across the Great Lakes and the East Coast. Shortwave ridging will build across the southern/central Plains ahead of an upper-low across the Southwest which will start to become a more broad/open wave by the end of the period. A cold front will extend from the North Carolina coast through the Southeast. Weak instability is forecast south of this front where low to mid 60s dewpoints are present. However, forcing will be weak amid negligible frontal convergence and neutral height tendencies aloft. As a mid-level jet streak emerges across the southern High Plains early Sunday morning, a locally favorable environment for small hail may develop on the leading edge of this jet streak. A strengthening low-level jet and increasing low-level moisture will result in moderate instability across the region. In addition, the strengthening mid-level flow will result in a favorable wind profile for supercells. Small hail appears most likely at this time, but if greater instability develops, isolated large hail is possible early Sunday morning. ..Bentley.. 11/21/2025 $$
