Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1119 AM CDT Mon Apr 07 2025
Valid 071700Z - 081200Z
The previous forecast (see below) remains on track. Gusty southwest
winds across central Florida are still expected ahead of a cold
front through this afternoon across portions of the central and
southern Florida Peninsula. Several days of preceding dry and warm
conditions have allowed somewhat more receptive fuels for wildfire
spread.
..Moore/Williams.. 04/07/2025
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1156 PM CDT Sun Apr 06 2025/
...Synopsis...
A mid-level trough will amplify along the East Coast as upper
ridging builds in over the Southwest, supporting a cold front moving
offshore as surface lee troughing develops along the High Plains.
Across the Florida Peninsula, the passage of the cold front will
support 15 mph sustained westerly surface winds as RH drops to 35-45
percent during the afternoon. Elevated highlights have been
maintained in this region given the presence of fuels receptive to
wildfire spread.

MD 0433 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF SWRN THROUGH E CNTRL GA...WRN AND CNTRL SC
Mesoscale Discussion 0433
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0740 AM CDT Mon Apr 07 2025
Areas affected...parts of swrn through e cntrl GA...wrn and cntrl SC
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 071240Z - 071445Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...At least low probabilities for an additional tornado or
two and/or locally damaging surface gusts continues in scattered
thunderstorm activity overspread the region through 10-11 AM EDT.
It is still not clear that a severe weather watch is needed in the
near term, but trends will continue to be monitored for this
possibility.
DISCUSSION...Stronger boundary-layer instability, characterized by
CAPE near or above 1000 J/kg, still remains confined to a narrow
pre-frontal corridor across the western Florida Panhandle through
southwestern into southern portions of central GA. However, some
cooling loft appears to be contributing to at least weak
destabilization north-northeastward toward the South Carolina
Piedmont.
The front, with a couple of weak waves along it, will continue a
slow eastward progression through mid to late morning, with the
Rapid Refresh indicating that a moderate south-southwesterly
low-level jet (in excess of 40 kt around 850 mb) will maintain
sizable, clockwise-curved low-level hodographs within the
instability axis.
Cloud cover spreading downstream of the stronger ongoing convective
development probably will slow boundary-layer destabilization, and
it is not certain that there will be a substantive further increase
in thunderstorm intensities in the near term. However, the MCV,
which apparently recently contributed to a tornado south-southwest
of the Greater Atlanta area, continues east-northeastward toward the
South Carolina Piedmont, and it not clear that the downstream
environment will not support an additional relatively short-lived
tornado or two. Farther south, in the corridor of better
instability, focused along the low-level jet axis near/north and
east of the Albany into Macon vicinities, there may also be
continuing potential for short-lived intensification of
meso-vortices embedded with the ongoing narrow band of convection.

SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0730 AM CDT Mon Apr 07 2025
Valid 071300Z - 081200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTH FLORIDA...SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...AND THE CAROLINAS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered storms, some severe, are possible today across parts of
northern Florida, southeast Georgia, and the Carolinas.
...Synopsis...
Positively titled upper troughing currently extends from Ontario
through central Mexico, with a shortwave trough embedded within this
larger trough from the Ozark Plateau through central Mexico. Strong
mid-level flow exists throughout the eastern periphery of the parent
troughing, with a jet max of 90+ kt at 500 mb extending from the
Mid-South into New England.
Current surface pattern features a low near the northern TN/NC
border intersection, with another weaker low farther south near the
ATL vicinity. A modest cold front extends between these two lows,
becoming a bit more defined south of the second low due to outflow
augmentation from the ongoing storms. A warm front also extend
eastward from the northern low across southern VA.
The southern shortwave trough is forecast to progress eastward
throughout the day, moving across the Lower MS Valley and Southeast
states before losing amplitude amid the more confluent flow across
the Carolinas. The primary surface low is expected to move
east-northeastward, with the cold front making steady eastward
progress.
...North Florida/Southeast Georgia/Carolinas...
Airmass downstream of the ongoing convective line is currently
characterized by mostly mid 60s dewpoints, although some low 70s
exists across far southwest GA and the central FL Panhandle. This
low-level moisture is supporting modest buoyancy, despite poor lapse
rates. Some strengthening of the storms within the line has been
noted over the past hour as it interacts with a narrow corridor of
70s dewpoints across far southwest GA and the central FL Panhandle.
Bowing segments and embedded rotation has been observed briefly as
updraft intensity modulates. Given that these higher dewpoints exist
in a relatively narrow corridor, the threat for damaging gusts
and/or brief tornadoes is expected to remain short-lived this
morning.
Modest buoyancy is expected downstream of the cold front throughout
the day, with daytime heating helping to maintain this buoyancy
farther eastward into southeast GA and southern SC where lower
dewpoints are anticipated. In addition to this buoyancy, large-scale
forcing for ascent is expected to strengthen as well, both from the
approaching shortwave trough and favorable proximity within the
right entrance region of the strengthening mid-level flow. Moderate
to strong low-level southwesterly flow will persist throughout the
day.
All of these factors suggest the ongoing convective line should be
maintained as it moves eastward throughout the day, with some
additional strengthening and organization possible, particularly if
daytime heating does not overly mix the boundary layer. Deeper
convection is expected to expand northward along the front moves
into the Carolina Piedmont. A linear mode will likely be maintained,
with damaging gusts as the primary severe risk. The strength of the
low-level flow suggest some tornado potential exists as well.
