Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0140 AM CST Fri Jan 10 2025
Valid 101200Z - 111200Z
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF FAR SOUTHERN COASTAL
CALIFORNIA...
...Synopsis...
A series of positively tilted mid-level troughs will progress
southeastward across the western and central CONUS today, supporting
the maintenance of surface high pressure across the Inter-mountain
West. Dry offshore winds should continue off of the southern
California coastline through at least the morning hours. However,
the pressure gradient should diffuse through the day as the first in
a series of mid-level troughs moves away from southern California.
Elevated to Critical dry and windy conditions should be most
prevalent during the morning, and will wane during the afternoon
hours. The best chance for any Critical conditions (i.e. 20+ mph
sustained offshore winds with 15 percent or less RH) will be across
the San Jacinto to Laguna mountain ranges.

Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1131 PM CST Thu Jan 09 2025
Valid 101200Z - 111200Z
...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are not expected through Saturday morning. A
few thunderstorms and windy/rainy conditions are likely along the
northern Gulf Coast.
...Synopsis...
A complex and progressive upper-air pattern will exist today, with
the main feature of interest being a large, positive-tilt upper
trough across the central US. Northern parts of this trough will
move eastward across the Great Lakes, while the southern end stalls
over northern MX. Ahead of this trough, strong southwest flow aloft
will spread across the Southeast. The stronger height falls will
spread into the Northeast into Saturday morning. Meanwhile, an upper
ridge will briefly exist across the Rockies during day, before a
strong shortwave trough over the Pacific Northwest dives
southeastward across much of the Rockies and Great Basin.
At the surface, high pressure will exist over the Appalachians, with
relatively cool air at the surface all the way south to the Gulf
Coast. A surface low is forecast to be near the southern LA Coast
early today, moving toward the FL Panhandle by 00Z, and then
reforming near the coastal Carolinas early on Saturday.
...Northern Gulf Coastal Region...
Strong southerly winds just off the surface will result in
warm/moist advection and widespread precipitation from LA/MS
eastward to the southern Appalachians through 00Z, and across the
Carolinas overnight. Given the cool surface air mass in place, and
presence of widespread clouds and precipitation, minimal
destabilization will likely preclude a severe storm risk. Models
indicate little if any SBCAPE over land, with < 100 J/kg elevated
MUCAPE. The poor lapse rate environment will therefore limit
destabilization, though scattered embedded thunderstorms will be
possible along the cold front where it intersects the Gulf Coast,
and northward in the warm advection regime.
Given the strong lift along the cold front, and very strong shear,
gusty winds, possibly augmented by heavier precipitation, may occur.
However, the conditional risk of severe weather is not great enough
to introduce any risk areas.

MD 0027 CONCERNING WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL ARKANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0027
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0527 PM CST Thu Jan 09 2025
Areas affected...portions of central Arkansas
Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation
Valid 092327Z - 100330Z
SUMMARY...Mixed wintry precipitation should continue into the
evening hours, with heavier snow likely later tonight.
DISCUSSION...700 mb warm-air and moisture advection is increasing
across AR with the approach of the mid-level trough, which is
currently progressing across the southern Plains. The low-level
warm-air/moisture advection regime is supporting heavier
precipitation across central AR, as shown by both MRMS mosaic and
KLZK regional radar imagery. Bright banding is ongoing across
southwestern into central AR, with reports of heavier snow rates
just north of the bright banding area. RAP forecast soundings shows
temperatures within the 850-700 mb layer hovering around the
freezing mark, which will continue to support a mix of snow, sleet,
and perhaps some freezing rain over the next few hours. With time,
cooling within this layer will promote primarily heavy snow,
including 1+ inch/hr rates, later this evening.

MD 0026 CONCERNING FREEZING RAIN FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST TEXAS INTO FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND FAR SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0026
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0306 PM CST Thu Jan 09 2025
Areas affected...Portions of northeast Texas into far southeast
Oklahoma and far southwest Arkansas
Concerning...Freezing rain
Valid 092106Z - 100100Z
SUMMARY...Freezing rain and perhaps some snow/sleet mix will
continue spreading northeastward across northeast Texas into the
early evening. Some locations could see freezing rain rates around
0.10 inch/3 hours.
DISCUSSION...Recent mosaic radar data shows a swath of mixed winter
precipitation spreading northeastward across north-central TX --
where surface temperatures are hovering around 32-33F. Within a belt
of strong deep-layer southwesterly flow, and at the nose of an
eastward-shifting plume of warm advection, this activity will
continue expanding across northeast TX into this evening. Here,
forecast soundings indicate a deep/saturated profile with a
warm-nose temperature around 0.1-0.2C atop sub-freezing surface
conditions -- favoring partial melting of descending hydrometeors.
This should support primarily freezing rain, though some mix of
sleet/snow will also be possible. Freezing rain rates around 0.10
inch/3 hours will be possible in some locations across northeast TX
into far southeast OK and southwest AR through the evening.
