Severe Storms

SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0813 PM CDT Sat Aug 03 2024 Valid 040100Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MINNESOTA...AND ACROSS PARTS OF THE NEW JERSEY VICINITY... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are expected to continue this evening over parts of Minnesota and South Dakota. Local severe risk may linger for a couple more hours over parts East Coast states, across portions of the Texas Panhandle vicinity, and parts of Utah. ...Discussion... Severe threat has begun to wane across much of the U.S. with the loss of diurnal heating. The most substantial risk -- which may last the remainder of the evening -- is ongoing across parts of central and southern Minnesota. Here, moderate mid-level west-northwesterlies atop a low-level wind field that veers with height is resulting in ample shear for organized storms. This, combined with a strongly unstable airmass (mixed-layer CAPE still 3000 to 4000 J/kg per RAP-based objective analysis) is supporting a cluster of intense storms over central Minnesota, remaining capable of producing very large hail, and damaging wind gusts. Elsewhere, a loosely organized cluster of strong storms is moving northeastward across southern New Jersey at this time, where local severe risk will persist for a couple more hours. A few strong storms are also moving southwestward across the Texas Panhandle, which may pose a risk for locally damaging winds through mid-evening. Finally, convection associated with the outer bands of developing T.S. Debby will continue affecting portions of southern and western Florida, where a brief tornado cannot be ruled out this evening/overnight. ..Goss.. 08/04/2024 Read more

MD 1809 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR EASTERN SOUTH DAKOTA INTO CENTRAL/SOUTHERN MINNESOTA
Mesoscale Discussion 1809 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0456 PM CDT Sat Aug 03 2024 Areas affected...eastern South Dakota into central/southern Minnesota Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 032156Z - 040000Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorm potential is increasing late this afternoon across eastern South Dakota into central/southern Minnesota. Timing for thunderstorm development is uncertain, but this area is being monitored for possible watch issuance. DISCUSSION...A surface low is located over north-central MN this afternoon, with a trailing cold front dropping south across northeast South Dakota/far southeast North Dakota and west-central MN. A warm front extends south/southeast from the low over eastern MN. Between these surface boundaries, a very moist airmass is in place with dewpoints in the upper 60s to low 70s F. Heating into the mid 80s to low 90s F has weakened MLCIN, especially across western portions of the discussion area. Steep midlevel lapse rates near 8 C/km atop the moist boundary layer are contributing to a corridor of strong instability ahead of the south/southeastward progressing cold front. Visible satellite imagery shows deepening cumulus near the front, with some modest development within the broader warm sector. Vertically veering wind profiles, with effective shear magnitudes greater than 35 kt will support organized convection. Initial supercells capable of large to very large hail are possible. With time, convection may cluster into a southeastward progressing MCS later this evening, posing a increasing risk for damaging gusts. Timing of thunderstorm development remains uncertain, but given satellite trends, expected storms to develop within the next couple of hours. Furthermore, at least weak MLCIN will likely persist with eastward extent. This may confine overall severe potential to a relatively narrow corridor. This area will continue to be monitored for possible watch issuance in the next couple of hours. ..Leitman/Smith.. 08/03/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
