728 ACUS48 KWNS 261131 SWOD48 SPC AC 261129 Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0629 AM CDT Sat Sep 26 2026 Valid 291200Z - 041200Z ...DISCUSSION... An upper trough is poised to gradually track eastward across the Interior West and eject into the Plains states through next week. Surface low development is likely across the southern Plains sometime in the Days 5-6 (Wednesday-Thursday) time frame, when low-level moisture advection and accompanying buoyancy will appreciably increase. However, vertical wind shear is expected to be limited, so organized severe potential does not appear evident, though at least isolated severe is possible across the southern Plains around next Thursday. Thereafter, a cold front will progress southeastward across much of the CONUS, displacing buoyancy across much of the Plains and MS Valley, further limiting the severe threat. ..Squitieri.. 09/26/2026
