THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHWEST WASHINGTON
### SUMMARY
Isolated damaging gusts may occur over portions of northwest Washington this evening into tonight.
Northwest Washington
Level-1/Marginal Risk wind probabilities have been expanded inland with this forecast update to account for a potentially wider corridor of severe wind gust potential, mainly in the 08/02-05z timeframe.
A strongly forced prefrontal rainband currently off the coast will move onshore within the next hour or so before reaching the I-5 corridor by 08/05-06z. Very strong low-level flow precedes the rainband with KLGX VWP data indicating 50-55 kt southerly winds in the lowest km AGL. While instability remains quite weak (MUCAPE of 100-150 J/kg, per the 00Z UIL sounding), downdraft-aided turbulent mixing in the vicinity of embedded bowing/LEWP structures may be sufficient to support isolated severe wind gusts as the band moves inland. A few strong to severe wind gusts and greater lightning potential may accompany widely scattered, post-frontal convection moving onshore in tandem with a plume of steepening 0-3 km lapse rates.
### Central Texas into the lower Rio Grande Valley
Downstream from an upper low over northwest Mexico, a weak perturbation has advanced into west-central TX this evening with a secondary, stronger impulse forecast to overspread the Edwards Plateau overnight. Forcing for ascent associated with those features will interact with a marginally unstable air mass (MUCAPE < 1000 J/kg) to support a gradual increase in thunderstorm coverage into early Sunday morning, especially over the lower Rio Grande Valley/Deep South TX. Onshore flow of an increasingly moist boundary layer (per the 00Z BRO sounding) into those areas may allow some storms to become surface-based amidst a modestly sheared kinematic environment. While a strong storm or two is possible, severe weather potential currently appears negligible.
### Maine
Within the base of broader midlevel troughing, an intense vorticity maximum will pivot from the Mid-Atlantic into New England overnight, yielding strong forcing for ascent across the region. The 00Z CAR sounding exhibited modestly steep midlevel lapse rates atop a rather deep saturated layer, which yields MUCAPE of 200-300 J/kg - sufficient for isolated thunderstorm development.

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1059 AM CST Sat Nov 07 2026
Valid 081200Z - 091200Z
NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
### SUMMARY
There appears little risk for severe thunderstorm activity across the U.S. Sunday through Sunday night.
Discussion
Within one branch of split westerlies emanating from the eastern Pacific, models indicate that mid-level ridging across the Intermountain West will broaden eastward across the Great Plains and Mississippi Valley through this period. As it does, an increasingly sheared mid-level low within a branch to the south may only slowly redevelop east-northeastward across the northern Mexican Plateau, toward the Texas Big Bend vicinity Sunday through Sunday night.
In higher latitudes, it appears that larger-scale mid-level troughing will continue to evolve and be maintained across southeastern Canada and the Northeast, with one notable embedded short wave trough forecast to pivot north-northeastward from offshore of the New England coast through the Canadian Maritimes, while a significant upstream perturbation digs from near/north of the upper Great Lakes region toward the northern Atlantic Seaboard. A trailing short wave trough is forecast to continue inland across the Canadian Rockies and Prairies.
In the wake of an initial developing surface cyclone associated with the Northeastern mid-level troughing, a couple of reinforcing intrusions of cool/dry air will continue to overspread much of the Upper Midwest/Great Lakes/Northeast and Mid Atlantic, behind a weakening lead frontal zone across the Florida Peninsula and Gulf Basin.
Southern Texas
Southeasterly low-level flow along the slowing/stalling surface front will maintain relatively high moisture content in a corridor along and east of the Rio Grande Valley vicinity Sunday. With the approach of the remnant mid-level cyclonic circulation, forcing for ascent and destabilization supported by differential thermal advection will maintain an environment conducive to occasional scattered thunderstorm development. Even with at least some mid-level cooling and drying possible by late afternoon, thermodynamic profiles still appear unlikely to become supportive of an appreciable risk for severe hail and/or wind. But, this will continue to be evaluated in later outlooks for this period.
Pacific Northwest
Latest model output suggests that an environment conducive to a risk for convection capable of producing lightning (including strong, moist low-level onshore flow beneath cool mid-levels) may be maintained into the 15-18Z time frame Sunday morning.
Lower Great Lakes vicinity
Models suggest that mid-level cooling accompanying the digging short wave trough will contribute to destabilization and occasional scattered showers late Sunday afternoon through Sunday night. By late Sunday night, particularly near the southern lake shores to the north of the Rochester and Syracuse vicinity, in association with the mid-level cold core (-26 to -28C around 500 mb), this may include some risk for weak thunderstorm activity. However, due to the probable short-lived and isolated nature of this risk, thunderstorm probabilities will be maintained at less than 10 percent.

Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0120 PM CST Sat Nov 07 2026
Valid 091200Z - 101200Z
NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST
### SUMMARY
There appears little risk for severe thunderstorms across the U.S. Monday through Monday night.
Discussion
An initially strong, zonal mid/upper jet across the mid-latitude Pacific is forecast to trend more amplified Monday through Monday night, with split downstream flow inland across the Pacific coast trending more confluent east of the Rockies through the Atlantic Seaboard. Within an evolving branch across the subtropical latitudes, it appears that a remnant cyclonic mid-level circulation will continue to become increasingly sheared across and east-northeast of the Texas Big Bend vicinity. Upstream, models suggest that one or two perturbations emerging from the mid- and subtropical eastern Pacific also will undergo considerable deformation, while progressing inland within building larger-scale ridging.
Southern Texas
Potential for scattered thunderstorm activity, largely supported by forcing for ascent associated with lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection downstream of the weakening mid-level perturbation, may continue into the day Monday, before tending to diminish Monday afternoon into evening.
Pacific Northwest
REFS calibrated thunderstorm guidance suggests potential for scattered thunderstorm development inland of at least the Oregon coast into Cascades by late Monday afternoon. This would likely accompany destabilization beneath a relatively modest inland progressing thermal trough (including 500 mb temperatures of around -18 to -20C). RRFS forecast soundings do indicate the development of weak CAPE, but the extent to which thermodynamic profiles become supportive of lightning discharge remains unclear. At this time, probabilities for thunderstorm initiation still appear negligible (i.e., less than 10 percent).

Outlook for Tuesday, November 10

any severe potential too low
Note on Medium Range Outlooks
You are looking at an outlook that is part of the medium range forecast (the outlook for days 4-8). The most important thing to note is that lack of a risk does not mean zero risk. Generally speaking, confidence has to be pretty high for the Storm Prediction Center to have an outlook area this far into the future.
When no specific risk areas are shown, you might see one of these phrases:
- Predictability Too Low: This means that severe storms might be possible, but forecasters aren't confident enough about where or when they might occur. Think of it as the models showing different possibilities, like pieces of a puzzle that haven't come together yet.
- Potential Too Low: This means forecasters are fairly confident that widespread severe weather is NOT expected on that day. While isolated storms might still occur, the chance of reaching severe criteria across any given area is very low.

Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0338 AM CST Sat Nov 07 2026
Valid 101200Z - 151200Z
DISCUSSION
During the mid-week, a mid-level shortwave trough is forecast to move across the western and central Gulf Coast, where a moist airmass will likely be in place. Thunderstorm development will be possible near the coasts of Texas and Louisiana from Tuesday into Wednesday. On Thursday, thunderstorm development will be possible in parts of the eastern U.S, ahead of a deepening upper-level trough. No severe threat is expected across the continental U.S. from Tuesday to Thursday.
On Friday and Saturday, dry and cool air associated with high pressure is forecast to dominate the central and eastern U.S., which will likely limit thunderstorm potential over most of the U.S.
