SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0240 PM CDT Wed Aug 07 2024
Valid 081200Z - 091200Z
The previous forecast is largely on track. The Isolated Dry Thunder
area was expanded to account for drier conditions across parts of
western Colorado with receptive fuels in the region. Otherwise, see
the previous discussion for further details.
..Supinie.. 08/07/2024
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0150 AM CDT Wed Aug 07 2024/
...Synopsis...
A trough moving across the northern Rockies into the northern Plains
will suppress the western US ridge on Thursday. Flow aloft will
shift to become more northwesterly, with monsoonal moisture shifting
southward. Isolated dry thunderstorm chances will be possible along
the fringes of the deeper monsoonal moisture across southern/central
Utah into western Colorado and western Wyoming. In this region,
precipitable water values around 0.50-0.75 inch and mainly mid-level
moisture will result in high-based convection, with potential for
new ignitions amid receptive fuels, and little precipitation. Gusty
and erratic winds will be possible near thunderstorms.

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1220 PM CDT Wed Aug 07 2024
Valid 081200Z - 091200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ON THURSDAY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA AND SOUTH-CENTRAL
VIRGINIA...
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms developing Thursday across the coastal plain of
eastern North Carolina through southern Virginia may be accompanied
by potential for a few tornadoes, as Debby moves inland across the
south Atlantic coast.
...NC/VA...
Debby will likely remain a Tropical Storm as the system tracks
northward across the Carolinas on Thursday. Strong southeasterly
low-level winds in the eastern semi-circle will result in favorable
shear profiles for a few tornadoes. So far with this system, a lack
of heating in the more strongly sheared areas has limited overall
tornado potential. However, 12z CAM solutions suggest the potential
for more heating across parts of central NC and southern VA
tomorrow, lending some concern for an uptick in risk.
...Southwest...
Scattered or greater coverage of thunderstorms is expected on
Thursday across much of the southern Rockies, southern Great Basin,
and Four Corners regions. Pockets of strong daytime heating and
steep lapse rates will result in the potential for damaging wind
gusts in some areas, although confidence in the mesoscale details of
these risk areas is low at this time. Portions of this region may
need an upgrade to MRGL risk in subsequent outlook updates.
