Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1255 AM CST Wed Jan 28 2026 Valid 291200Z - 301200Z ...NO THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms are unlikely Thursday. ...Synopsis... Broad-scale troughing over the eastern US is forecast to continue Thursday as a shortwave perturbation moves out of the Rockies/southern Plains into the Southeast. This will allow a weak surface low to deepen over the lower MS Valley and Gulf Coast with a cold front moving through the southern Plains. A second stronger trough will move south out of Canada and deepen over the northern US as western ridging continues to build. This will intensify surface high pressure over the northern US as a reinforcing surge of Arctic air moves south. This will keep inland moisture return and thunderstorm chances minimal Thursday. ..Lyons.. 01/28/2026
