Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0256 AM CST Tue Dec 16 2025 Valid 191200Z - 241200Z ...DISCUSSION... A line of storms will likely be ongoing from portions of the Northeast into the mid-Atlantic and Carolinas Friday morning. If sufficient destabilization can occur, a few isolated damaging wind gusts will be possible before the front moves offshore. In the wake of this cold front, an extended period of low severe potential begins. By Saturday afternoon, moisture is forecast to advect inland across East Texas and Louisiana, but no thunderstorm activity is expected. 60s dewpoints will remain along the Gulf Coast from Texas to inland Louisiana and Mississippi through the weekend and into early next week. However, building heights aloft will limit thunderstorm potential for much of the extended. Even if some thunderstorms occur early next week, as indicated by the 00Z ECMWF across MS/TN, they will likely remain south of the stronger mid-level flow and without strong destabilization, will be unlikely to be severe.
