Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0317 AM CDT Sat Oct 25 2025 Valid 281200Z - 021200Z ...DISCUSSION... Severe storms appear unlikely over the CONUS through the extended forecast period. An upper low is forecast to deepen over much of the eastern US while ridging develops over the West. This will amplify the overall pattern with strong northwesterly flow likely over much of the central US. In response, a strong cold front and very deep surface low will move offshore scouring available surface moisture from the central US midweek next week. The persistent eastern US troughing and high pressure in the wake of the cold front over the central US will favor cooler, drier and more stable surface conditions through the remainder of next week.
