Day 3 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1258 PM CST Tue Jan 27 2026
Valid 291200Z - 301200Z
...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms are unlikely Thursday.
...Synopsis...
An upper shortwave trough will migrate from the central/southern
Plains to the Southeast on Thursday. As this occurs, surface low
pressure will move from OK to the Lower MS Valley. Meanwhile, a
trailing cold front will surge southward across OK/TX. Southerly
low-level flow ahead of the surface low and cold front will allow
for modest Gulf moisture to work northward toward South TX and the
lower/middle TX Coast, though more substantial moisture will remain
offshore. Overall, thunderstorm chances are expected to be low, with
meager instability and warmer 850-700 mb temperatures forecast. Any
thunderstorm potential is expected to remain offshore over the
western Gulf.
