Organized severe thunderstorms are unlikely today and tonight. ...Synopsis... A relatively amplified large-scale pattern will exist over the CONUS, with south-central U.S. upper ridging flanked by an evolving upper trough along the Eastern Seaboard and an amplifying upper trough approaching the coastal Pacific Northwest. ...Southern Arizona/southern New Mexico to southern High Plains... A belt of moderately strong southwesterly mid-level flow will prevail regionally, with a mid-level disturbance expected to spread northeastward from northern Baja toward Arizona, with multiple other convectively influenced perturbations spreading across New Mexico and the southern High Plains. Pockets of moderate destabilization could occur into peak heating across southeast Arizona/southern New Mexico, as well as the southern High Plains including parts of the Texas Panhandle and western portions of Oklahoma and Kansas. A few stronger/locally severe storms with hail and/or gusty winds could occur late this afternoon and early evening in these areas, but the overall magnitude/likelihood of severe storms is currently expected to remain relatively low. ..Guyer/Thornton.. 09/24/2026 $$
