SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1124 AM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Valid 151700Z - 161200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR LOWER TEXAS COASTAL PLAIN INTO THE EDWARDS PLATEAU... ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN PLAINS... No changes are needed to the current D1 Fire Outlook. Morning visible satellite shows clear skies across the southern Texas Critical area, which will promote surface heating and mixing. This is observed by surface observations showing gusts 30-40 mph to be common and relative humidity around 15-20 percent across south central Texas to the Edwards Plateau and west to the Mexico border. Critical conditions are expected to continue through the afternoon. Further north, some mid-level cloud cover is observed across the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles, with clearing to the north in Kansas. Temperatures across this region are cooler, with relative humidity around 30-40 percent. Temperatures are expected to warm across this region with deeply mixed profiles promoting relative humidity reductions to around 15 percent for Critical fire weather conditions by the afternoon. ..Thornton.. 03/15/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1259 AM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025/ ...Synopsis... Critical fire weather conditions are expected across portions of the southern High Plains this afternoon. A robust surface low is evident in 05 UTC surface observations across the central Plains with a broad cold front pushing southward across KS into northwest OK and the TX Panhandle. This feature is expected to gradually push into central TX through the afternoon as a secondary surface low deepens over the mid/lower MS Valley. 15-25 mph winds are expected in both the pre- and post-frontal regimes along with dry conditions. ....Southern Texas... Westerly gradient winds are expected to strengthen to 15-25 mph across a broad swath of southern TX this afternoon. The passage of a mid-level jet max should coincide well with peak heating/maximum boundary-layer mixing, resulting in frequent gusts of 30-40 mph (and possibly as high as 50 mph). An influx of drier air combined with daytime heating will promote widespread RH reductions into the teens. Given antecedent dry fine fuels widely dispersed across the region, widespread elevated fire weather conditions are expected with critical conditions likely from the Edwards Plateau to the middle/lower TX Coastal Plain. ...Central Plains... Recent MRMS rainfall estimates show patchy areas of wetting rainfall have fallen across western KS into parts of northwest OK over the past 24 hours. This rainfall will likely not overly impact fuel status of finer grassy fuels, which are expected to quickly dry amid the breezy and dry post-frontal conditions this afternoon. Despite an influx of cooler air, very low dewpoints coupled with daytime heating should promote RH values into the teens to low 20s. Ensemble guidance continues to show a reasonably strong signal for 15-20 mph winds from southern NE into OK/TX with an embedded swath of 20-25 mph winds probable across central KS to northwest OK where rainfall was minimal over the past 24 hours. Additionally, much of the Critical risk area has either observed wildfire activity or received lightning strikes yesterday (Friday), which may locally heighten the fire weather concern. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

MD 0196 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN MINNESOTA
Mesoscale Discussion 0196 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0747 AM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Areas affected...portions of western Minnesota Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 151247Z - 151645Z SUMMARY...Periods of heavy snow (perhaps exceeding 1 inch/hr at times), along with blizzard conditions are possible this morning. Winds may sustain over 35 mph (with higher gusts), with reduced visibility possible in spots. DISCUSSION...A stacked cyclone continues to occlude while drifting toward Ontario. As this cyclone continues to track northward, continued CAA will keep the column below freezing while 850-700 mb frontogenesis will continue to support adequate convergence/lift for efficient dendrite production over central MN, which will pivot around the northwestern quadrant of the cyclone and support moderate to heavy snowfall over western MN this morning. Strong surface isallobaric flow across the northwestern cyclone quadrant may coincide with heavier snowfall rates (perhaps exceeding 1 inch/hr at times), resulting in periodic blizzard conditions. Visibility may reduce to or less than a quarter mile in the heavier snow bands. ..Squitieri.. 03/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0198 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 44... FOR NORTHERN LOUISIANA...SOUTHEAST ARKANSAS...NORTHERN/WESTERN MISSISSIPPI...SOUTHWEST TENNESSEE
Mesoscale Discussion 0198 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0925 AM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Areas affected...northern Louisiana...southeast Arkansas...northern/western Mississippi...southwest Tennessee Concerning...Tornado Watch 44... Valid 151425Z - 151600Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 44 continues. SUMMARY...The severe weather threat will increase through the morning across tornado watch 44. DISCUSSION...Widespread thunderstorm activity has formed along the cold front from northern Louisiana to western Tennessee. The widespread nature of this convection has resulted in a messy storm mode. However, any additional storms which develop on the warm side of the boundary will pose a threat for all severe hazards including large hail, severe wind gusts, and tornadoes. This baroclinic zone will likely persist for much of the day with the greatest tornado threat persisting slightly southeast of this zone. More organized supercells are present across northern Louisiana where storm mode has remained more discrete. These supercells, and additional development south and east of these storms may be the beginnings of long-track supercells which will persist for much of the daytime period with a threat for large hail (some 2+ inches), severe wind gusts, and strong to intense tornadoes. ..Bentley/Gleason.. 03/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0197 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 44... FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL LOUISIANA INTO NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI AND EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN TENNESSEE
Mesoscale Discussion 0197 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0804 AM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Areas affected...portions of central Louisiana into northern Mississippi and extreme southwestern Tennessee Concerning...Tornado Watch 44... Valid 151304Z - 151430Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 44 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Tornado Watch 44. The potential for tornadoes (some strong) will only increase into the morning hours. Severe wind and hail will also be possible. DISCUSSION...Deep-moist convection continues to increase in coverage and intensity along a baroclinic zone characterizing the northwestern bounds of the free warm sector. Recently, storms along the southern extent of this convective band have developed supercell characteristics, with pronounced low-level mesocyclones noted via KSHV radar data. 12Z JAN and LCH soundings show mid-level lapse rates above 8.5 C/km, along with rich low-level moisture and large, curved/elongated hodographs already in place, which is highly supportive of tornadic supercells. Through the morning hours, increased boundary-layer heating and ascent from the approaching upper trough should only boost shear/buoyancy further, resulting in a continued increasing severe threat. All severe hazards will be possible, including strong tornadoes, particularly with the more sustained supercells with unimpeded inflow. ..Squitieri.. 03/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0195 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN KENTUCKY...SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL OHIO...AND EXTREME WESTERN WEST VIRGINIA
Mesoscale Discussion 0195 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0719 AM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Areas affected...portions of northeastern Kentucky...southern and central Ohio...and extreme western West Virginia Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 151219Z - 151345Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...A few instances of severe hail or damaging gusts may continue for a few more hours. The overall severe threat appears isolated and a downstream WW issuance is not currently anticipated. DISCUSSION...A line of thunderstorms with a history of severe hail and damaging gusts (some of which have exceeded severe limits) continues to progress eastward as a stacked cyclone over the Great Lakes continues to track toward Ontario. This line of storms (especially the southern portion) continues to effectively transport stronger flow aloft to the surface, with 7-8 C/km mid-level lapse rates likely supporting continuing severe hail production. However, this line of storms is approaching the eastern bounds of what is already scant buoyancy (characterized by 200 J/kg MUCAPE per the 12Z ILN observed sounding), and this line should gradually outpace this marginal instability with time. As such, the severe threat should generally remain limited, though a focused severe threat may continue with the more robust storms (southern portion of the line in KY) for at least a few more hours. ..Squitieri/Smith.. 03/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
