Day 1 Convective Outlook

1130 AM CDT Wed Aug 05 2026

Valid 051630Z - 061200Z

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...ARIZONA...AND
THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible today and tonight across
eastern Kansas into the mid Mississippi Valley. Isolated severe
gusts and hail may also occur across parts of the southern High
Plains and Arizona.

...Eastern Kansas into the Mid Mississippi Valley...
Severe potential this afternoon through tonight will be complicated
by ongoing convection/precipitation from eastern KS into the mid MS
Valley. In general, filtered daytime heating will occur along/ahead
of a surface front across these regions through the afternoon, with
this area on the southern periphery of mid/upper-level troughing
over central Canada and the northern Plains/Upper Midwest. An
embedded mid-level disturbance is aiding the ongoing sub-severe
convection. Current expectations are for at least isolated strong to
severe thunderstorms to develop later this afternoon and evening in
the gradually destabilizing airmass, with sufficient deep-layer
shear forecast to support some updraft organization. Occasional hail
and damaging winds may occur with the stronger cores, but evolution
into one or more bowing clusters remains uncertain. A stronger
signal exists for scattered to numerous thunderstorms to develop
late this evening into early Thursday morning across eastern KS into
MO in a strengthening low-level warm advection regime, with a
continued severe hail/wind threat possible given ample MUCAPE and
strong shear forecast in the cloud-bearing layer.

...Arizona...
A seasonably moist low-level airmass (with surface observations
generally in the low to mid 60s) will undergo further heating
through late afternoon. Orographic lift should favor convection
developing over the higher terrain and gradually spreading into the
lower deserts this evening, as modest mid-level easterly flow
persists to the south of upper ridging centered over the Southwest.
Very steep low to mid-level lapse rates will contribute to a risk
for strong downdrafts capable of producing at least isolated severe
gusts (60-80 mph). Considered adding a Slight Risk based on
scattered thunderstorm coverage moving into the lower deserts. But,
given ongoing cloud cover across parts of central/southeast AZ and a
tendency for the mid-level easterly flow to gradually weaken through
the evening, confidence in scattered severe gusts occurring remains
too low for an upgrade at this time.

...Southern High Plains...
Weak post-frontal low-level upslope flow into the Raton Mesa
vicinity will favor widely scattered convective development across
the southern High Plains by mid to late afternoon. Modest
west-northwesterly mid-level flow will favor motions to the
east-southeast into the adjacent High Plains along/near a surface
cold front. With steep lapse rates and a relatively dry sub-cloud
layer expected, evaporative cooling will probably result in a few
storms being capable of isolated severe gusts. A gust of 75+ mph may
occur given the very well mixed boundary layer. Isolated, marginally
severe hail may also occur with the initial cells that develop.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1207 AM CDT Wed Aug 05 2026/

...Synopsis...
Upper-level troughing over the north/central U.S. will gradually
shift eastward into the Great Lakes region, while upper ridging
strengthens and lifts northward across the western CONUS. A dry
airmass will persist in the Interior West amid a very dry fuelscape,
with stronger flow aloft remaining over the northern Colorado
Plateau into southwest Wyoming. Elevated highlights have been
maintained where west-northwesterly sustained winds of 10-20 mph
(gusts of 20-30 mph) are likely amid minimum RH values of 5-15% this
afternoon. Farther west, daytime high temperatures of 100+ degrees F
and 5-15% RH will occur across the California valleys and
surrounding terrain. The spatial extent of sustained 15+ mph winds
for 3 hours or greater will be limited, precluding an introduction
of fire weather highlights; however, periods of onshore flow
exceeding 15 mph are possible across localized interior regions and
terrain-favored areas, supportive of locally elevated fire concerns
where fuels are receptive.

Significant 5.3 quake hits near Tasikmalaya, Kota Tasikmalaya, Jawa Barat, Indonesia

An earthquake of magnitude 5.3 occurred in the evening on Wednesday, August 5th, 2026, at 9:55 pm local time near Tasikmalaya, Kota Tasikmalaya, Jawa Barat, Indonesia, as reported by Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 16. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Singaparna (pop. 48,900) located 91 km from the epicenter, Kawalu (pop. 50,500) 92 km away, Tasikmalaya (pop. 741,800) 98 km away, Garut (pop. 131,800) 100 km away, and Ciamis (pop. 109,800) 104 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in the area, please send us your experience through our reporting mechanism, either online or via our mobile app. This will help us provide more first-hand updates to anyone around the globe who wants to know more about this quake.

...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS...AND SOUTHEASTERN
ARIZONA...

...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible today across the mid 
Mississippi Valley.  Isolated severe gusts may also occur in parts
of the southern High Plains, and in southeastern Arizona.

...Mid Mississippi Valley...
Water-vapor imagery this morning shows a broad upper trough over the
north-central U.S. with a couple of embedded disturbances.  A
leading weak impulse appears associated with a small cluster of
strong to locally severe activity early this morning across the
IA-MO border vicinity, near and immediately north of a stationary
front.  These showers/thunderstorms will likely continue east of the
MS River but it remains unclear whether these storms maintain a
localized risk for severe before gradually weakening.  Later today,
ascent associated with an upstream disturbance moving through the
base of the larger-scale trough over NE into IA, will favor
additional storm development as the boundary layer heats south of
the frontal zone.  Moderate buoyancy is forecast by guidance and
sufficient deep-layer shear will support some potential storm
organization.  The stronger storms may yield an episodic severe risk
before gradually diminishing during the evening.  

...Southeastern Arizona...
A seasonably moist airmass sampled this morning by surface
observations (lower 60s F dewpoints) will undergo strong heating
through late afternoon.  Orographic lifting will favor convection
developing over the higher terrain and gradually
spreading/developing into the lower deserts during the early
evening.  Very steep low to mid-level lapse rates will contribute
towards a risk for strong downdrafts capable of a microburst threat
(60-80 mph).  Considered a Slight-Risk based on potentially
scattered storm coverage moving into the lower deserts, but
sufficient model run-to-run (time-lagged HRRR) variability and model
ensemble spread (i.e., 00z HREF vs. REFS) preclude a wind-driven
upgrade at this time.

...Southern High Plains...
Weak but adequately moist, post-frontal upslope flow into the Raton
Mesa vicinity will favor widely scattered diurnal storm development
by mid-late afternoon.  Modest west-northwesterly mid-level flow
will favor storms and their incipient outflow to the east-southeast
into the adjacent High Plains.  Given the steep lapse rates and
relatively dry sub-cloud layer, evaporative cooling will probably
result in a few storms being capable of localized severe gusts
(60-80 mph).

Small 3.6 quake hits near Lake Minchumina, Yukon-Koyukuk, Alaska, USA

An earthquake of magnitude 3.6 occurred after midnight on Wednesday, August 5th, 2026, at 12:55 am local time near Lake Minchumina, Yukon-Koyukuk, Alaska, USA, as reported by the United States Geological Survey.
According to preliminary data, the quake was located at a shallow depth of 6.8 miles. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 3.6 earthquake as well.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Lake Minchumina (pop. 13) located 23 miles from the epicenter, and Denali National Park (pop. 220) 25 miles away.
