Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0801 PM CDT Tue Apr 28 2026
Valid 290100Z - 291200Z
...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF NORTHEAST TEXAS...ARKANSAS...NORTHERN LOUISIANA...AND
MISSISSIPPI...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms will continue this evening across parts of the
ArkLaTex into the Lower Mississippi Valley. Very large hail (2+
inches), swaths of severe/damaging winds, and a few tornadoes are
all possible.
...01z Update...
Scattered severe thunderstorms are ongoing across northeast TX into
AR, MS and vicinity. A mix of storms modes, including supercells and
bowing segments will persist into the nighttime hours. Areas of
large to very large hail (2+ inches with strongest cells), a few
tornadoes (a couple could be strong), and damaging wind gusts remain
possible over the next several hours.
The main outlook changes were to reduce severe probabilities across
areas where storm potential has diminished, particularly for the
Lever 4 of 5 (Moderate) risk area in TX where storms have moved
southeast out of that area and redevelopment to the north appears
unlikely.
