Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0223 PM CDT Sun Sep 14 2025 Valid 151200Z - 161200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ..19z Update... The upper trough exiting the northern Rockies will be followed by surface high pressure, promoting east/northeasterly flow over the northern Columbia Basin beginning late D2/Monday. This will support a brief period of gusty easterly winds through the Cascade gaps and ridge tops into early D3/Tuesday. Isolated gusts of 20-30 mph are possible, along with localized low humidity. While locally elevated fire-weather conditions are possible within pockets of dry fuels, recent rainfall, and the sporadic nature of the dry/breezy conditions should keep the fire-weather risk relatively low. ..Lyons.. 09/14/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0147 AM CDT Sun Sep 14 2025/ ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will meander over the northern Rockies, promoting mainly cool and mild conditions across the northwest quadrant of the U.S. tomorrow (Monday). Scattered thunderstorms will be possible across portions of the northern Rockies into the northern High Plains, but the associated rainfall may serve to further dampen fuels. As such, no major wildfire-spread conditions are expected across the CONUS on Monday. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

MD 2072 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH-CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA AND CENTRAL NORTH DAKOTA
Mesoscale Discussion 2072 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1241 PM CDT Sun Sep 14 2025 Areas affected...portions of north-central South Dakota and central North Dakota Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely Valid 141741Z - 141915Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Severe potential to increase through the afternoon with potential for damaging wind, hail, and tornadoes. DISCUSSION...Appreciable mid-level cloud cover is noted on visible satellite across much of central ND/SD, with convection ongoing near the border in the vicinity of the lifting warm front. Nonetheless, this ongoing convection has showed an uptick in intensity likely owing to some daytime heating and proximity to the nose of a low-level jet axis across the central/northern High Plains. To the east, the cloud deck becomes more broken, with temperatures heating up into the upper 70s to 80s. A more conditional mesoscale corridor of tornado risk may emerge along the lifting warm front as the low-level jet continues to increase this afternoon. In this vicinity, more low-level SRH rich air in the vicinity of the warm front may support supercells. It remains somewhat uncertain that storm mode will remain favorable or transition to mixed mode with more multi-cell clusters. Should this occur, the threat for damaging wind may emerge through time. Some instances of large hail will also be possible with any initial supercells that can maintain. A watch will likely be needed to cover this threat over the next couple of hours. ..Thornton/Guyer.. 09/14/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...FGF...ABR...BIS...

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1225 PM CDT Sun Sep 14 2025 Valid 151200Z - 161200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Organized severe thunderstorm potential appears generally low on Monday. ...Synopsis... An upper-level trough will pivot northeastward through Minnesota early in the period. To the West, another shortwave trough will move into the Northern Rockies. A weak surface trough will exist in the central/northern Plains. ...Upper Mississippi Valley southward into the Ozarks... Current guidance continues to suggest that the shortwave trough moving northeastward through Minnesota will not be well phased with the greatest surface heating. However, the ECMWF remains slower than other guidance in this regard. Greater buoyancy will more likely develop from central Minnesota/western Wisconsin southward into the Ozarks. However, these areas will be increasingly removed from the departing mid-level ascent and stronger wind shear. Occasionally strong storms are possible during the afternoon within the pockets of greater buoyancy, but the a large scale pattern suggests these storms will be quite isolated and brief. ...Central into Northern High Plains... Widely scattered to scattered convection is possible from central Wyoming into portion of the High Plains to the east. Cloud cover associated with the upper trough to the west and limited low-level moisture will limit the intensity of this activity. Even so, steep mid-level lapse rates and pockets of steeper low-level lapse rates could support stronger wind gusts. ...North Carolina Tidewater... An offshore surface low will move inland late Monday into Tuesday morning. While low-level shear will be enhanced, precipitation/clouds trough the day/evening should keep buoyancy inland limited. Confidence in a low-end severe threat remains very low. ..Wendt.. 09/14/2025 Read more
