SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1147 AM CDT Tue Mar 26 2024 Valid 261700Z - 271200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...17z Update... No changes, see the previous discussion for more information. ..Lyons.. 03/26/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0129 AM CDT Tue Mar 26 2024/ ...Synopsis... Surface high pressure and associated cooler air will overspread the Plains states as a mid-level trough and accompanying surface low progress toward the eastern U.S. and Canada today. Generally quiescent fire weather conditions are expected for most of the U.S. One small exception may be portions of western Texas during the afternoon hours, where locally dry and breezy conditions may occur. Nonetheless, wildfire-spread potential should remain localized, since RH may not dip below 20 percent on a widespread basis. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1101 AM CDT Tue Mar 26 2024 Valid 261630Z - 271200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON OVER PORTIONS OF LOWER MICHIGAN...EASTERN INDIANA...AND WESTERN OHIO.... ...SUMMARY... Damaging wind gusts are possible today over parts of the Lower Michigan/southern Great Lakes region, and the eastern Gulf Coastal Plain. ...FL Panhandle and Vicinity... A surface cold front continues to sag southward across parts of AL and the FL Panhandle. Scattered thunderstorms are occurring along the front (mainly offshore), with occasional updrafts showing some organization. It is expected that the bulk of this activity will remain offshore due to widespread clouds and limited destabilization inland. However, there is some chance of a strong storm or two this afternoon. After dark, most model guidance suggest the frontal convection will strengthen, with a continued risk of a few strong storms into north FL. ...Lower MI/IN/Western OH... A strong cold front is sweeping eastward into western IN late this morning, and will move across Lower MI/IN/western OH through the day. Widespread clouds and meager low-level moisture ahead of the front will limit destabilization, with forecast soundings suggesting the convective layer may remain too shallow to support much lightning. Nevertheless, strong winds just above the surface coupled with cold temperatures aloft may be sufficient for a few strong storms later today, capable of damaging wind gusts. The time period of greatest concern should roughly be from 22-02z. ..Hart/Thornton.. 03/26/2024 Read more
