799 ACUS02 KWNS 280558 SWODY2 SPC AC 280557 Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1257 AM CDT Sat Jun 28 2025 Valid 291200Z - 301200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL IOWA INTO THE WESTERN UPPER PENINSULA OF MICHIGAN.... ...SUMMARY... Scattered strong to severe storms appear possible Sunday from the central Great Plains into the upper Great Lakes region, with at least some potential for the evolution of a large, organized severe storm cluster across parts of the mid into lower Missouri Valley and central Great Plains late Sunday through Sunday night. ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will amplify across the northern Plains on Sunday. At the surface, a cold front will advance slowly east across the northern Plains and Upper Midwest. ...Central Plains to the Upper Midwest... Very strong to potentially extreme instability is forecast from the central Plains to the Upper Midwest on Sunday. Weak tropospheric flow is forecast across much of Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri on Sunday. This should limit storm organization with only isolated/widely scattered severe wind gusts possible within this large zone of marginal risk. Mid-level flow is forecast to be somewhat stronger across northern Iowa, but still relatively weak. This may result in slightly more organized convection where very strong to extreme instability is also present. Therefore, the slight risk was expanded south to cover this threat, particularly since scattered to widespread storm coverage is anticipated. Instability will not be as strong farther north across Wisconsin, but stronger mid-level flow (30-35 knots) will be present, which may result in a few rotating updrafts and/or bowing line segments capable of isolated large hail and severe wind gusts. ...Mid-Atlantic... Moderate to strong instability is forecast to develop across portions of the Mid-Atlantic on Sunday. A very moist environment will be in place with PWAT values over 2 inches and dewpoints in the mid 70s. Therefore, wet microburts will be possible with the strongest storms which develop Sunday afternoon/evening. ..Bentley.. 06/28/2025 $$
