Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1259 AM CDT Sun Jun 01 2025

Valid 011200Z - 021200Z

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PARTS OF
CENTRAL AND EAST TEXAS...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered large hail and isolated damaging winds are possible later
today into this evening across central and east Texas. More isolated
severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the mid-Tennessee
River Valley into the Carolinas, central and southern High Plains,
northern Rockies, and south Florida.

...Central/eastern TX...
In advance of a southeastward-moving mid/upper-level shortwave
trough, elevated storms will likely be ongoing somewhere across
north-central TX at the start of the period, which could pose a
threat of isolated hail and strong/damaging gusts. Guidance varies
regarding the strength and longevity of morning convection, leading
to some spread regarding the zone of organized storm potential later
in the day. One scenario is for storms to persist and reintensify
through the day, as convection impinges on an increasingly
warm/moist and unstable environment. Another scenario is for morning
convection to substantially weaken, resulting in potential for
afternoon redevelopment along the slow-moving or stationary remnant
outflow boundary. Some combination of these scenarios is also
possible.

If morning convection weakens or is not overly extensive, then the
afternoon pre-storm environment will likely be characterized by
moderate to strong buoyancy, with moderate midlevel northwesterlies
providing sufficient effective shear for storm organization.
Supercells capable of very large hail and localized severe gusts
will be possible. Some tornado potential could evolve as well,
especially in a scenario where supercells interact with a modifying
outflow boundary.

...TN to the Carolinas...
A quasi-stationary front is forecast to extend from east-central MO
southeastward into NC by early afternoon. Despite relatively modest
low-level moisture, diurnal heating combined with seasonably cold
temperatures aloft associated with a deep upper-level trough across
the region will allow for weak to moderate destabilization
near/south of the front. Isolated to scattered storm development is
expected this afternoon, with somewhat greater coverage expected
with eastward extent. Modestly favorable effective shear (generally
25-30 kt) may support occasionally organized storms capable of
isolated damaging wind and hail. Any longer-lived clusters could
pose a more concentrated wind-damage threat, though confidence in
the details of any such threat is currently low.

...Eastern ID/Southwest MT/Northwest WY...
A mid/upper-level shortwave trough will move eastward from the
Pacific Northwest toward the northern Rockies by this evening. Weak
to locally moderate buoyancy and increasing deep-layer shear will
support potential for somewhat organized cells/clusters with an
attendant threat of isolated severe gusts and hail. Depending on the
extent of diurnal heating/destabilization, a localized corridor of
somewhat greater potential may evolve with the broader Marginal Risk
area.

...South FL...
Convection is expected to redevelop early this morning and
potentially spread into parts of the southwest FL Peninsula by the
start of the forecast period. There will be some potential for
modest diurnal heating and additional destabilization before storms
spread across the rest of south FL through the morning into early
afternoon. Deep-layer shear will be sufficient for some storm
organization and a potential threat for isolated damaging gusts and
hail.

...Eastern CO/NM...
Scattered storms are again expected this afternoon and evening along
and east of the higher terrain in eastern CO/NM. While deep-layer
flow/shear will be relatively modest, guidance suggests some
increase in low-level moisture and instability by afternoon. Initial
storms could pose a threat for isolated hail and strong to severe
gusts. There is some potential for one or more loosely organized
clusters to develop by evening and spread eastward with strong to
locally severe outflow winds.

...Southern CA into southern/central AZ...
A mid/upper-level cyclone will move northeastward into parts of
southern CA/AZ later today. Cool temperatures aloft will overspread
the region, but relatively widespread cloudiness and precipitation
will tend to limit destabilization. If pockets of locally stronger
heating/destabilization can develop, then a few strong storms will
be possible. However, confidence is too low to include severe
probabilities at this time.

...Great Basin...
High-based convection is expected to develop this afternoon from
parts of NV into western UT. Buoyancy and shear are both expected to
remain weak, and organized convection is not expected, but localized
strong outflow gusts will be possible within this regime into the
early evening.

Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1242 AM CDT Sun Jun 01 2025

Valid 021200Z - 031200Z

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS TO THE NORTHERN GREAT PLAINS...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible from the central and
southern High Plains into the northern Great Plains during the late
afternoon and evening on Monday. Severe gusts and large hail are the
expected hazards.

...Synopsis...
A split-flow regime Monday will be characterized by a
northern-stream shortwave trough moving east from the northern
Rockies along the international border over the northern Great
Plains, and a low-amplitude southern-stream trough ejecting across
the Southwest onto the southern High Plains. A surface cold front
preceding the northern-stream trough should extend across northern
MN into the central High Plains. A surface low will diurnally deepen
near the NE/CO/KS border area, with a lee trough southward into
eastern NM and the TX Trans-Pecos.

...NE/CO/WY border area to western MN...
Moderate to large buoyancy will develop ahead of the NE to SD
portion of the northeast/southwest-oriented cold front by late
afternoon. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop along and
to the cool side of the front during this time frame as weak
mid-level height falls overspread the boundary. The belt of strong
mid-level flow attendant to the northern-stream trough will largely
lag behind the surface front. This should foster predominantly
multicell clusters, with the best potential for supercell structures
in the post-frontal air mass over the central High Plains.
Widespread thunderstorms are expected during the evening, centered
on the NE portion of the front, as the KS/OK low-level jet
strengthens. Isolated to scattered large hail/severe gusts are
possible, mainly through about dusk, before intensity wanes.

...KS to southern High Plains vicinity...
Pervasive afternoon thunderstorm development is expected to emanate
from NM/southern CO/far west TX, amid lobes of large-scale ascent
ahead of multiple impulses embedded with the low-amplitude trough
over the Southwest. This activity will initially be displaced west
of the large buoyancy reservoir over western/central OK into north
TX where mid-level lapse rates will be steep. Modest mid-level flow
enhancement is expected to accompany initial high-based development,
likely yielding mainly multicells and transient supercell
structures. But as convection impinges/develops towards the greater
MLCAPE plume, convection should intensify. This should result in an
increasing severe wind threat during the late afternoon to early
evening through at least western KS to the TX Panhandle. How far
downstream convection can remain severe later in the evening is
uncertain given increasing MLCIN with time/eastern extent, greater
low-level jet focused ascent in NE, and the modest deep-layer shear.

.SHORT TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
Issued at 110 PM EDT Sat May 31 2025

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast:

Large area of cool Canada originated high pressure building south
into the western Great Lakes this afternoon as rather unusual (for
late Spring) deep low pressure rotates up across New England.
Northwest flow (at times gusty) within marginally robust pressure
gradient directed right into our area, keeping temperatures several
degrees below specific normal values for the last day of May...this
despite filtered mostly sunny skies (still some high level
smoke...especially along and west of Interstate 75).

High pressure will continue to work south, with the center of this
high reaching vicinity the Ohio Valley by the end of the weekend.

Primary Forecast Concerns:

Temperature trends and addressing frost concerns tonight.

Details:

Conditions continue to look rather ideal for a good to excellent
nocturnal temperature response tonight...with a seasonably chilly
airmass, clear skies, and dry conditions. Upstream trends this
morning confirm this potential, with lows in northern Wisconsin and
central/western upper Michigan falling well down into the lower 30s.
May be just enough of a remnant pressure gradient to prevent
temperatures dropping to similar readings here, but pattern
recognition and nearly the full range of the statistical guidance
suite supports widespread lows in the mid and upper 30s...with the
colder readings across northwest lower Michigan where said pressure
gradient will be most relaxed. Do believe some of our traditional
ice-box locations will make at least a brief run into the lower
30s...especially if full decoupling is realized. While maintenance
of light winds may prevent widespread frost development, confidence
in these cold conditions is now enough to warrant an early Sunday
morning frost advisory for much of the area.

Mostly sunny skies will help temperatures recover rather quickly on
Sunday...helped along by a slowly modifying overhead airmass.
Expecting widespread highs ranging through the 60s. Airmass will
remain very dry, and when combined with marginally gusty northwest
winds...continues to support elevated wildfire concerns across the
area.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY/...
Issued at 110 PM EDT Sat May 31 2025

Pattern Synopsis/Forecast:

Weekend high pressure will continue to build southeast, taking up
residence along the east coast early next work week. Maturing return
flow on the backside of this high will send a progressively warmer
airmass into the northern Lakes Monday and Tuesday. Troughing
building through the northern Plains will eventually send a cold
front across the region mid-week...bringing the threat for rain and
trending temperatures downward to round out the work week.

Primary Forecast Concerns:

How aggressive warming will become Monday and Tuesday...followed by
shower and thunderstorm evolution mid-week.

Details:

Warming trend that begins Sunday kicks into overdrive as we head
into Monday and Tuesday as southwest flow matures...with highs
likely topping 80 for at least some locations on Monday...with
readings well into the 80s on Tuesday across the vast majority of
northern lower Michigan. Of course, readings will be a touch cooler
near those big waters and north of the big bridge. Will definitely
need to monitor for more wildfire concerns as fuel moistures
continue to dry and winds become gusty...especially on Tuesday.

Still some timing uncertainty, but latest mid-range guidance trends
continue to support cold frontal passage sometime Tuesday night into
Wednesday. Combination of both Gulf of America and tropical Pacific
moisture will ride up along and ahead of this front...at least
theoretically supporting some widespread showers and thunderstorms
along it. Uncertainty only increases thereafter, with at least some
hints of additional energy pinwheeling northeast along this
front...keeping the threat for showers across northern Michigan
through Friday. Temperatures will trend cooler, with high
temperatures in the 60s and 70s Thursday through Saturday.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z TAFS THROUGH 06Z MONDAY/...
Issued at 132 AM EDT Sun Jun 1 2025

VFR conditions are expected across the vast majority of northern
Michigan through the issuance period. The only exception may be
patchy fog development across low-lying areas late tonight/early
Sunday morning, particularly at MBL -- although confidence is not
high enough to explicitly include in the TAF at this time. Any FG/BR
will quickly dissipate after sunrise. Northwest winds will increase
through the morning, becoming around 10 kts with gusts to 20-25 kts
into Sunday evening.

Mesoscale Discussion 1057
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1238 AM CDT Sun Jun 01 2025

Areas affected...Western and Central Oklahoma

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 010538Z - 010815Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...An isolated severe threat will likely continue through the
early morning hours, and an increase in the threat is possible. If
storms continue to intensify, then a severe weather watch may be
needed.

DISCUSSION...An east-to-west band of strong thunderstorms,
associated with isolated severe, is ongoing across northern
Oklahoma. The storms are located near a front, and are being
supported by large-scale ascent ahead of a shortwave trough moving
southward through Kansas, evident on water vapor imagery. An axis of
low-level moisture is located from northwest Texas into western
Oklahoma, where surface dewpoints are in the mid to upper 60s F.
This is contributing to MLCAPE in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range across
much of western Oklahoma. RAP forecast soundings near the
instability max have effective shear near 40 knots, with 700-500 mb
lapse rates near 7 C/km. This should support a threat for isolated
large hail within the stronger cores. A capping inversion is
present, which will keep the storms elevated. However, an isolated
severe gust will be possible with the strongest of cells.
