Severe Storms

Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0230 AM CST Wed Jan 03 2024 Valid 051200Z - 061200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE CENTRAL GULF COAST STATES... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe thunderstorms may occur Friday night through early Saturday morning across parts of the central Gulf Coast states. ...Central Gulf Coast... An upper trough initially over the central CONUS should generally move eastward across the lower MS, TN, and OH Valleys on Friday. An embedded mid-level shortwave trough is forecast to advance northeastward from coastal/southeast TX towards the central Gulf Coast states by Friday evening. At the surface, a weak low should consolidate over the northwest Gulf of Mexico through the day, and eventually develop slightly inland across parts of southeastern LA, southern MS/AL, and the FL Panhandle Friday night into early Saturday morning. Elevated convection should be ongoing Friday morning across parts of coastal TX and the northwestern Gulf of Mexico. This activity should quickly shift east-northeastward across southern LA and adjacent Gulf waters through Friday evening while remaining primarily elevated over land. Eventually, sufficient low-level moisture (low 60s surface dewpoints) should be in place across parts of the central Gulf Coast ahead of the low to support surface-based convection. Even though instability is expected to remain fairly weak, 45-60 kt of effective bulk shear and strong low-level shear associated with a stout southerly low-level jet should aid in convective organization. Some potential for pre-frontal supercells may exist in a narrow corridor over land, along with cold-front-related convection as the surface low develops east-northeastward. Given the strength of the forecast shear and low-level winds, both damaging winds and tornadoes appear possible. However, there is still a fair amount of uncertainty regarding how far inland the low to perhaps mid 60s surface dewpoints will advance. Therefore, have included a portion of the central Gulf Coast in low severe probabilities for now. ..Gleason.. 01/03/2024 Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0121 AM CST Wed Jan 03 2024 Valid 041200Z - 051200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Fire weather potential appears limited for Thursday for much of the country, though regional concerns may materialize across southern New Mexico into Southwest Texas. The upper low currently off the CA coast is forecast to reach the Four Corners region by Thursday morning with an attendant surface low over central NM. A trailing Pacific cold front should sweep through southern NM and southwest TX through the afternoon. Ensemble guidance shows reasonably good agreement in sustained winds above 15 mph, possibly gusting as high as 30-35 mph. Little in the way of temperature reductions are currently anticipated behind the front, and the westerly flow regime should promote downslope warming/drying. However, most solutions hint at isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms along the front, which may negate recent days of modest drying. Furthermore, scattered cloud cover may also modulate RH reductions. While the potential for elevated fire weather conditions is noted, uncertainties regarding rain chances and cloud cover preclude highlights. ..Moore.. 01/03/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

MD 0001 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR THE SIERRA NEVADA...FROM WEST OF TAHOE INTO AREAS SOUTHEAST OF YOSEMITE
Mesoscale Discussion 0001 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0926 PM CST Tue Jan 02 2024 Areas affected...the Sierra Nevada...from west of Tahoe into areas southeast of Yosemite Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 030326Z - 030800Z SUMMARY...Heavy snow rates in excess of 2 inches per hour may begin impacting the I-80 corridor west of Tahoe by 9-10 PM PST, if not earlier, before developing southward along the western slopes of the Sierra Nevada, across and southeast of Yosemite by midnight-1 AM PST. DISCUSSION...Cloud tops have been cooling the past few hours, inland of the San Francisco Bay area toward the Sierra Nevada to the west of Tahoe. This is occurring downstream of a vigorous short wave trough, which is forecast to continue gradually pivoting across and inland of the central California coast through 06-09Z., accompanied by considerable further strengthening of large-scale ascent. Models indicate that strongest lift will focus along a frontal zone already in the process of advancing inland, south/east of the Bay area and into the northern Sierra Nevada, and within an increasing upslope flow component across the western slopes of the northern into southern Sierra Nevada by late evening. Coupled with saturating thermodynanmic profiles, including precipitable water in excess of .4 to .5 inches, strengthening lift through through mid-levels with favorable cold temperatures for large dendritic ice crystal growth (roughly between 700-600 mb in forecast soundings) appears likely to yield intensifying snow rates. By 05-06Z, if not before, guidance generally indicates that this may include rates in excess of 2 inches per hour near the Interstate 80 corridor, where cold advection may result in snow levels falling to near or below 4000 feet. As the strengthening lift develops southward along the mountains into and southeast of the Yosemite vicinity through 08-09Z, snow levels are likely to be higher (on the order of 4500 to 5000+ feet), at least initially, before gradually falling overnight. However, somewhat higher moisture content may support heavier peak rates approaching or exceeding 3 inches per hour. ..Kerr.. 01/03/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1251 AM CST Wed Jan 03 2024 Valid 031200Z - 041200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Minimal fire weather concerns are expected today. Latest fuel guidance reveals some recent drying from the southern High Plains into the central and northern High Plains. However, early-morning surface observations show a cold front pushing southward through the Northern Plains that should usher in cooler temperatures by this afternoon. Similarly, surface high pressure over the southern Plains after a recent frontal passage will favor cool and fairly calm conditions this afternoon. ..Moore.. 01/03/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
