Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0328 AM CST Sun Feb 01 2026 Valid 041200Z - 091200Z ...DISCUSSION... A midlevel trough and related cold front will move eastward across the Southeast and FL Peninsula on Days 4-5/Wednesday-Thursday. While isolated thunderstorms will be possible along the front as it overspreads the central/eastern Gulf Coast states, limited moisture/buoyancy will keep the severe risk low. Thereafter, strengthening deep-layer northwesterly flow over the MS/OH Valleys will reinforce large-scale troughing over the eastern U.S. and western Atlantic. This will favor a prolonged period of dry, offshore flow -- limiting thunderstorm potential across the CONUS.
