SPC Apr 19, 2026 0600 UTC Day 2 Convective Outlook
SPC 0600Z Day 2 Outlook


Day 2 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1246 AM CDT Sun Apr 19 2026

Valid 201200Z - 211200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe storms are not expected on Monday.

... Synopsis ...

A midlevel trough will progress from the Northeast off the New
England coast on Monday, while the trailing cold front continues
southward into the Caribbean Sea. In the wake of this system, high
pressure and a relatively dry airmass will limit thunderstorm
potential across much of the CONUS.

... South Florida ...

North of the aforementioned front, diurnal heating of a moist
post-frontal airmass characterized by dewpoints in the mid-60s
should support isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms. Weak
buoyancy and a lack of significant large-scale ascent should
preclude any severe threat.

... Southwest into Texas ...

Farther west, a subtle, low-amplitude midlevel wave moving into
South Texas, combined with weak low-level warm advection and modest
moisture return will support a few rounds of isolated thunderstorms
across Southwest Texas into Central Texas. 

Additionally, isolated diurnal thunderstorms are possible across the
Southwest as midlevel moisture impinges on the region. This activity
is expected to remain focused over the higher terrain, and given the
weak instability and modest forcing, severe weather is not expected.

‘You gave me clearance to go': Indian vessel’s frantic distress call during Hormuz firing revealed Webmaster 2 hours ago

Two India-flagged vessels, the Sanmar Herald and Jag Arnav, were targeted by Iranian gunboats in the Strait of Hormuz, forcing a convoy of 14 ships to abort transit. The incident caused confusion over passage instructions, with multiple vessels turning back. India has lodged a protest with Iran, urging safe passage for merchant shipping.

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1217 AM CDT Sun Apr 19 2026

Valid 191200Z - 201200Z

...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not forecast today.

...Synopsis...
A large upper trough extending from the Great Lakes into the OH and
TN Valleys will move into the northeastern US today, with a weak
upper ridge across the Rockies. This pattern will favor high
pressure over the central and eastern states, stable conditions and
minimal thunderstorm activity. A cold front associated the eastern
trough will be well off the East Coast by midday, with drying
offshore flow. Minimal instability may yield isolated thunderstorms
over eastern Florida, or perhaps across the Rio Grande Valley where
elevated moisture and weak instability will remain atop the surface
cool layer. In any case, severe storms are not forecast.
