SPC 0700Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1205 AM CST Thu Jan 22 2026 Valid 231200Z - 241200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Isolated weak thunderstorm activity is possible Friday afternoon into Friday night across parts of central Texas. ...Synopsis... An upper low and attendant shortwave trough off the southern CA/northern Baja coasts Friday morning will develop east toward northwest Mexico and lower CO Valley by Saturday morning. As this occurs, increasing midlevel moisture will spread northeast across the southern Plains as an arctic cold front dives southward across OK/TX. As forcing for ascent increases Friday afternoon into the overnight hours, mainly wintry precipitation is expected across OK and the northern half of TX. Near and to the south of the arctic cold front, sufficient low-level moisture will be in place to support modest instability, especially as midlevel temperatures cool. This could result in isolated thunderstorms near the southward-surging cold front, or within the transition zone just to the cool side of the boundary where sleet and freezing rain are possible. ..Leitman.. 01/22/2026
