MD 0047 CONCERNING WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
Mesoscale Discussion 0047 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0545 PM CST Sat Jan 24 2026 Areas affected...Portions of the southern Appalachians Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation Valid 242345Z - 250445Z SUMMARY...A wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain is expected to slowly spread north and east over the next 3-5 hours across portions of the southern Appalachians. Areas currently observing snow will likely see a transition to sleet/freezing rain during this period. Freezing rain rates of 0.05 to 0.1 inch/hour appear possible. DISCUSSION...Recent RAP/HRRR solutions appear to be capturing ongoing precipitation-type trends well per latest ASOS/AWOS observations and mPING reports. Surface observations also depict a trough axis extending from southwest AL into the southern Appalachians where surface pressure falls on the order of approximately 1 mb/hour have been noted since 18 UTC. As broad-scale ascent continues to increase with the gradual approach of the upper wave to the west, further intensification of the surface trough across the Southeast and lee of the southern Appalachians is expected with a slight augmentation of southerly low-level winds and warm air advection. This will shift the low-level freezing line northward over the next several hours, resulting in a transition from predominantly snow to a mixture of freezing rain and sleet (and potentially to rain if surface temperatures can sufficiently warm). Additionally, as low-level ascent spreads east/northeast, freezing rain/sleet should become more widespread across portions of the western Carolinas and into parts of VA - especially as low-level saturation is achieved later this evening. Latest forecast guidance continues to suggest that freezing rain rates upwards of 0.05 to 0.1 inch/hour will be possible. ..Moore.. 01/24/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0649 PM CST Sat Jan 24 2026 Valid 250100Z - 251200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected tonight. ...01z Update... Southern-stream upper low is beginning to eject across northern Mexico. Latest water-vapor imagery depicts this feature well and scattered thunderstorms have developed ahead of the primary midlevel vort just south of the international border. Isolated thunderstorms are noted north of the border across southeast AZ, but this activity should gradually weaken over the next few hours. However, stronger forcing is expected to aid elevated convection that will spread across portions of far West TX this evening and thunderstorm probabilities will reflect this risk through at least 06z tonight. Downstream, warm advection will continue to be the primary mechanism for more sporadic thunderstorms atop the cooler polar air mass. Additionally, boundary layer destabilization will be retarded across the lower MS Valley through 12z, and for this reason robust thunderstorms are not forecast. ..Darrow.. 01/25/2026 Read more

MD 0046 CONCERNING WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION FOR SOUTHEAST NEW MEXICO INTO WEST TEXAS AND FAR SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA
Mesoscale Discussion 0046 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0317 PM CST Sat Jan 24 2026 Areas affected...Southeast New Mexico into West Texas and far southwest Oklahoma Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation Valid 242117Z - 250115Z SUMMARY...An increase in precipitation coverage and intensity is expected into the evening. DISCUSSION...A potent mid-level shortwave trough can be seen across northern Mexico on water vapor imagery. This trough is starting to take on a negative tilt as it advances towards Far West Texas. As this occurs, large-scale ascent will strengthen across the southern High Plains. This will result in an increase in coverage and intensity of precipitation late this afternoon and into the evening. Regional radar imagery shows this expansion beginning already with cooling cloud tops upstream across northern Mexico and Far West Texas. Forecast soundings support sleet across much of this area late this afternoon and into early evening. However, the sleet/snow line will move gradually southeast through the evening as temperatures cool aloft. Sleet accumulation of 0.1 to 0.2 inches per hour and snow accumulations of 1 inch per hour are expected as forcing increases. Particularly closer to 00Z. ..Bentley.. 01/24/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...OUN...SJT...LUB...AMA...MAF...ABQ...

MD 0045 CONCERNING FREEZING RAIN FOR NORTHERN MS TO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS
Mesoscale Discussion 0045 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1217 PM CST Sat Jan 24 2026 Areas affected...northern MS to the southern Appalachians Concerning...Freezing rain Valid 241817Z - 242345Z SUMMARY...Freezing rain mixed with sleet is expected to expand across parts of the Tennessee Valley to the southern Appalachians through late afternoon. The most likely corridor for appreciable accretion appears centered on north-central Mississippi, northwest Alabama, and southeast Tennessee. DISCUSSION...A broad swath of mixed winter precip is ongoing from KY/TN southwest to LA. The initial leading activity has largely remained as sleet and snow, with greater liquid-equivalent rates in sleet, freezing rain, and rain over LA. This latter plume is expected to be the most prolific for freezing rain rates as it shifts northeast through late afternoon. Liquid-equivalent rates of .05 to .25 in/hr should remain common. Despite ample low-level isentropic ascent, guidance is quite insistent on expanding the above-freezing warm nose north-northeast across northern MS to eastern TN through 00Z. A 15Z UL-Monroe sounding sampled around 12C at 900 mb, indicative of a classic freezing rain/mixed sleet profile. The overall setup suggests that these should become the primary PTYPEs across central/northern MS through northwest AL to southeast TN. ..Grams.. 01/24/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0156 PM CST Sat Jan 24 2026 Valid 242000Z - 251200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected today or tonight. ...20Z Update... Only minor changes to the thunderstorm forecast were made based on current observations. Cold air remains in place across the lower Mississippi Valley this afternoon with ongoing and expected precipitation reinforcing this airmass through Sunday morning. As previously mentioned, a slow improvement in the environment is possible from southeast Louisiana into southern Mississippi and western Alabama. Given the current observations, it may take longer to move warm/moist air inland than expected. Confidence in this occurring before 12Z Sunday remains too low for severe probabilities. See the previous forecast for additional information. ..Wendt.. 01/24/2026 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0942 AM CST Sat Jan 24 2026/ ...LA/MS/AL Overnight... The primary surface cold front has pushed off the mid/upper TX Gulf coast, where scattered thunderstorms are ongoing. As the primary upper trough approaches later tonight, increasing southerly low-level winds ahead of the front will transport Gulf moisture northward into parts of southeast LA and southern MS/AL. This will result in some destabilization and increase in low-level/deep-layer vertical shear. Despite a slowly improving environment for strong convection, the main upper forcing is expected to lag to the west of this region until after 12z. Therefore, will maintain less-than-marginal severe probabilities for the overnight period. Read more

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0149 PM CST Sat Jan 24 2026 Valid 261200Z - 011200Z Persistent mid/upper-level troughing is expected to remain over the eastern 2/3 of the CONUS through the extended forecast, which will continue to reinforce below average temperatures along/east of the Rockies. Meanwhile, mid/upper-level ridging is forecast to return to the Southwest and Great Basin by Day 4/Tuesday before a series of Pacific troughs come onshore mid-to-late next week and into the weekend. Some wetting rainfall may accompany the troughs - especially across portions of the Pacific NW into northern California. Overall, Critical fire weather concerns are forecast to remain low across much of the CONUS through at least Day 8/Saturday. The one exception might be across portions of the Florida Peninsula, where little antecedent precipitation is forecast along/ahead of a mostly dry cold front that is expected to move through the area Day 3/Monday. A dry and breezy post-frontal regime is forecast to remain over the area through much of the week, which may promote periodic Elevated to locally Critical fire weather conditions, especially as fuels remain receptive owing to ongoing drought conditions. At this time, fire weather conditions appear too brief/spotty to introduce a 40% Critical fire weather probability. ..Elliott.. 01/24/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 0043 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0853 AM CST Sat Jan 24 2026 Areas affected...northeast TX...southern AR...northern LA...western MS Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation Valid 241453Z - 242000Z SUMMARY...Moderate to heavy freezing rain and sleet are expected to persist across the Ark-La-Tex to Ark-La-Miss regions into early afternoon. Liquid-equivalent precipitation rates of a tenth to quarter-inch per hour should be common, locally up to a half-inch per hour. DISCUSSION...A swath of moderate to heavy mixed precipitation is ongoing across east TX and the Ark-La-Tex. Surface observations confirm hourly precipitation rates of .10-.25 in/hr are common, up to around .50 in/hr. 12Z guidance is rather consistent in indicating this swath of precip persisting through at least early afternoon, gradually shifting east-northeast amid rather pronounced low-level warm theta-e advection. A classic freezing rain to sleet sounding was sampled at 12Z in SHV. This type of thermodynamic profile should continue to steadily push southward in northern LA. Farther east, the surface freezing line should only drift to nearly stall across western MS into the early afternoon. ..Grams.. 01/24/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

DISCUSSION...An area of showery precipitation continues to expand from West Texas into southwest Oklahoma this morning. The precipitation coverage is already more expansive than shown by any 12Z guidance and it continues to expand. This area of showers is mostly sleet thus far, but KTLX CC and the 12Z OUN RAOB would imply it will become mostly snow as it approaches I-40 across central Oklahoma. Sleet accumulation of 0.1 to 0.2 inches per hour and snowfall accumulation of 0.5 to 1 inch per hour are possible within the heavier showers/bands from Northwest Texas into central Oklahoma through mid-afternoon. Expect this area of precipitation to weaken as it moves farther northeast during the afternoon. This will likely result in more scattered precipitation coverage across this region for a few hours during the late afternoon before precipitation rapidly expands this evening ahead of the approaching main trough. ..Bentley.. 01/24/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
