Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0656 AM CDT Tue Sep 30 2025
Valid 301300Z - 011200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe storms are unlikely today and tonight.
A large upper ridge will dominate the weather across the central US
today, while an upper trough overspreads much of the western states.
A shortwave trough currently over southern CA/NV will lift
northeastward today, providing a focus for scattered thunderstorms
across the Great Basin and northern/central Rockies. Other isolated
thunderstorms will be possible along the OR coast, the FL east
coast, and the mountains of north GA into east TN. In all of these
areas, weak instability and limited shear will preclude severe
storms today.
