Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0215 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025
Valid 261200Z - 271200Z
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND ADJACENT WESTERN TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms are possible on Saturday
across portions of eastern New Mexico into western Texas.
...Discussion...
Convection is forecast to be ongoing across portions of the central
and southern Plains Saturday morning, near and north of a surface
baroclinic zone progged to lie roughly west-to-east western Texas
and Oklahoma to the Tennessee Valley. With the upper pattern across
the western 2/3 of the U.S. to remain largely unchanged, with
ridging over the central U.S. and only very slow eastward
progression of the western U.S. upper low, the front should remain
roughly quasi-stationary Saturday. This suggests potential for
storm redevelopment/reintensification during the afternoon, as
heating/destabilization maximize. While background large-scale
subsidence should limit coverage of convection diurnally, a couple
of stronger storms capable of producing severe-caliber hail and/or
wind are expected.
