URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 73 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 415 PM EDT Sun Mar 30 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Southwest Lower Michigan Lake Michigan * Effective this Sunday afternoon and evening from 415 PM until 900 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible Scattered large hail events to 1 inch in diameter possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...A well-developed squall line with bowing segments will move quickly northeastward from Indiana into southwest Lower Michigan through the afternoon/evening. Swaths of damaging winds (60-75 mph) are likely with this squall line, along with the potential for isolated large hail and a tornado or two with embedded circulations. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles east and west of a line from 40 miles north of Grand Rapids MI to 10 miles southwest of Kalamazoo MI. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MD 0303 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR THE NORTHERN GULF COAST
Mesoscale Discussion 0303 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0209 PM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025 Areas affected...The northern Gulf Coast Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 301909Z - 302115Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...The potential for brief tornadoes may continue through the late afternoon. DISCUSSION...Over the past several hours, training convection has been continually developing along the northern Gulf Coast along a outflow-reinforced marine boundary. Although a consolidated outflow boundary is slowly developing per regional radar imagery, steady influx of high low-level theta-e air off the Gulf should promote further thunderstorm development through the diurnal heating maximum. Weakly veering winds through the lowest 2 km (best sampled by the KMOB VWP) is supporting sufficient low-level helicity for brief mesocyclone development with an attendant tornado risk. This potential has already been realized at least once based on a recent TDS evident across far southeast MS. Until the sea breeze weakens early this evening, strong updrafts with an attendant brief tornado threat may continue to develop on the southern periphery of the marine/outflow boundary. Given the localized nature of the threat watch issuance is not anticipated. ..Moore/Smith.. 03/30/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...MOB...JAN...LIX...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0353 PM CDT Sun Mar 30 2025 Valid 011200Z - 071200Z Broad mid-level troughing will prevail across the central CONUS through much of week. A pronounced mid-level impulse will traverse the south-central U.S. Days 3-4 (Tuesday-Wednesday), resulting in surface cyclone development over the Plains. On Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, downslope and isallobaric westerly surface flow will support critically dry and windy conditions across the southern High Plains, with rapid wildfire-spread potential likely. Through the remainder of the week, dry and occasionally breezy conditions will exist across the southern High Plains as surface lee troughing persists, before a cold front surges across the southern CONUS by the weekend. ...Days 3-4 (Tuesday-Wednesday) - Southern High Plains... An 80 kt mid-level jet streak will overspread the southern Rockies, supporting the development of a 986 mb surface cyclone over Kansas, with a strong westerly surface wind field overspreading the southern High Plains. Dangerous wildfire-spread conditions will be most prevalent on Tuesday, where broad Critical probabilities are in place. High-end Critical meteorological surface conditions (i.e. 25-35 mph sustained westerly surface winds coinciding with 10-15 percent RH) will become common west of a dryline associated with the surface low. Locally Extremely Critical conditions are possible. On Wednesday, Critically dry and windy conditions will persist across New Mexico into far western Texas, where 70% Critical highlights remain in place. Fuels are receptive to wildfire spread across portions of New Mexico into western Texas. The most dangerous wildfire-spread potential will exist with fuel beds that are experiencing appreciable fuel loading. ..Squitieri.. 03/30/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
