SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1007 AM CDT Thu May 09 2024 Valid 091700Z - 101200Z An Elevated risk area is introduced to portions of southern NM into far southwest TX. 15 UTC surface observations show low morning RH values (in the teens to low 20s) across the region with around 15% RH observed in the residual layer of the 12 UTC EPZ sounding. RH values should fall into the single digits by late afternoon as southwest winds increase to 15-20 mph in the wake of a passing mid-level disturbance. Additionally, latest ensemble guidance has shown better agreement in at least a few hours of elevated fire weather conditions across southern NM/southwest TX where ERCs are in the 80-90th percentile. ..Moore.. 05/09/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1239 AM CDT Thu May 09 2024/ ...Synopsis... The elongated upper trough will evolve into a closed low over the Great Basin today. Farther east, the primary upper trough will move into parts of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. At the surface, a cold front will push south into the Southern Plains and cooler air will push up against the southern Rockies. Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low for most areas. Some dry and breezy conditions are possible in the Southwest. Winds outside of terrain-favored areas will reach 15-20 mph with RH falling to 10-20%. Fuels in Arizona still do not support a large fire threat. Fuels into New Mexico are drier, but the duration of any elevated conditions appears too limited to support highlights. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

MD 0727 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 215...216... FOR ALABAMA...GEORGIA
Mesoscale Discussion 0727 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0748 AM CDT Thu May 09 2024 Areas affected...Alabama...Georgia Concerning...Tornado Watch 215...216... Valid 091248Z - 091445Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 215, 216 continues. SUMMARY...An isolated wind damage/tornado threat should continue this morning across northern Alabama and northern Georgia. The threat may spread southward into central Alabama and central Georgia, where new weather watch issuance remains possible. DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery shows an MCS, associated with strong to severe storms, located from far northeast Mississippi extending eastward into far western South Carolina. A moist and unstable airmass is present to the south of the MCS across much of the Gulf Coast states. In addition, regional WSR-88D VWPs across this airmass have 0-6 km shear near 60 knots and 0-3 km storm-relative helicities between 200 and 250 m2/s2. This should support an isolated tornado threat with supercells embedded in the line, or that develop to the south of the line. A wind-damage threat will also be possible with the supercells and the stronger line segments. The severe threat is expected to increase later this morning as surface temperature warm. For this reason, weather watch issuance may be needed to the south of the current watches. ..Broyles.. 05/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
