Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0640 PM CST Sat Mar 07 2026
Valid 080100Z - 081200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEAST TEXAS INTO FAR SOUTHWEST LOUISIANA...
...SUMMARY...
A few storms may produce hail across southern Texas, with sporadic
wind damage still possible extending into parts of the Southeast.
...Discussion...
Scattered cells continue to develop near and north of the cold front
into southern TX, with areas of heavy rain and periodic strong gusts
moving across southeast TX and into southern MS and central AL.
The 00Z CRP sounding shows substantial instability with MLCAPE
around 2000 J/kg. Low-level flow is relatively weak, but veering
with height which may aid updraft propagation to the east/southeast.
Moderate mid to high level winds are also elongating hodographs,
which may support favorable storm structure for large hail.
Otherwise, an elongated line of thunderstorms extending from
southeast TX into the southern Appalachians may produce strong wind
gusts at times, with generally marginal shear profiles for anything
sustained. The loss of daytime heating will also support a weakening
trend during the evening.

Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0359 PM CST Sat Mar 07 2026
Valid 091200Z - 151200Z
A mid-level cutoff low and upper trough will merge while ejecting
into the Plains, tracking toward the East Coast through the middle
of next week. Surface low development is expected across the central
U.S. with the passage of the merging upper troughs early next week.
This upper air pattern will support a few instances of regional dry
downslope flow, especially across portions of the central and
southern High Plains on Day 3 (Monday), where 40% Critical
probabilities have been introduced. Dry downslope flow may continue
across the southern High Plains on Day 4 (Tuesday), but possible
preceding rainfall and marginal RH precludes Critical probabilities
this outlook.
By the middle of next week into next weekend, a zonal upper flow
pattern will become established over the central U.S. with the
departure of the upper trough. A pronounced mid-level impulse and
accompanying rapidly eastward progressing surface low will support
widespread dry and windy conditions across much of the High Plains
on Day 6 (Thursday) given both strong gradient and downslope induced
surface flow. 40% Critical probabilities were introduced across
portions of the central and southern High Plains, where fuels are
most receptive to wildfire spread and are forecast to receive
minimal rainfall into next week.
