The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) doesn’t create Convective Outlooks based on a single weather model or radar image. Before a thunderstorm even develops, meteorologists analyze dozens of atmospheric ingredients, including instability (CAPE), wind shear, moisture, lift, temperature profiles, and the potential for storms to organize into severe weather. When those ingredients come together, the SPC issues Convective Outlooks that highlight where severe thunderstorms are most likely to occur. Today’s outlook includes: 🌩️ An Enhanced Risk (Level 3 of 5) across portions of the central High Plains ⛈️ Slight Risk (Level 2 of 5) across parts of the Great Lakes and Northeast 💨 Potential wind gusts of 60-85 mph 🧊 Large hail 🌪️ A few tornadoes are also possible in some areas this afternoon and evening. The screenshots below show several pieces of that forecast process, including the SPC Convective Outlook, active Severe Thunderstorm Watches, radar, lightning, and National Weather Service alerts. Forecasting severe weather isn’t about predicting the exact street where a storm will form. It’s about identifying where the atmosphere is becoming favorable for dangerous storms before they develop. Stay weather aware if you’re within today’s risk areas. 📱 NimboStratusAI 🌐 www.NimboStratusAI.com Available on the App Store or as a web app. #Meteorology #SevereWeather #StormPredictionCenter #WeatherAwareness #EmergencyManagement #WeatherTechnology #NimboStratusAI
