WW 473 SEVERE TSTM MT 111955Z - 120300Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 473
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
155 PM MDT Tue Jul 11 2023
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Eastern Montana
* Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 155 PM until
900 PM MDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5
inches in diameter possible
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage is expected to gradually increase as
the airmass continues to destabilize this afternoon. Moderate
buoyancy and strong shear is forecast to support supercell capable
of large to very large hail and damaging wind gusts.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
statute miles east and west of a line from 15 miles north northwest
of Glasgow MT to 25 miles west southwest of Broadus MT. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening
weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.
&&
AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A
few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector
28030.

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0134 PM CDT Tue Jul 11 2023
Valid 121200Z - 131200Z
An area delineating potential for isolated dry thunderstorms was
added to portions of south-central Colorado and north-central New
Mexico. Thunderstorms should develop over the region during the
afternoon hours and spread east, with the highlighted area confined
based on fuels (ERC > 80th percentile).
In addition, a slight uptick in the potential for at least locally
elevated fire-weather conditions across southern Nevada and vicinity
is noted in the latest guidance. Given relatively weak flow aloft,
confidence remains too low to introduce any highlights at this time,
but highlights may be needed in later outlooks should this trend
continue.
..Karstens.. 07/11/2023
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1253 AM CDT Tue Jul 11 2023/
...Synopsis...
High pressure will continue to be the dominant feature across the
Western US on Wednesday, keeping primarily light winds where fuels
are the driest. A few localized breezes may produce briefly Elevated
fire weather but confidence in any one corridor is low. Across the
northern periphery of the ridge, increased westerly flow will be
possible across southern Wyoming. Conditions will be dry but fuels
remain largely unreceptive to fire spread across this region,
precluding the need to include any areas at this time.

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1230 PM CDT Tue Jul 11 2023
Valid 121200Z - 131200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS INTO THE MID MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND MIDWEST...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms will be possible across much of Missouri,
Illinois, and adjacent portions of the central Plains and Midwest on
Wednesday. Damaging winds and large hail should be the main threats,
with some potential for significant (75+ mph) severe winds across
parts of Missouri and vicinity.
...Synopsis...
A closed upper low will remain centered over Hudson Bay and vicinity
on Wednesday, while upper ridging persists over the Southwest.
Between these two features, a belt of enhanced mid-level
west-northwesterly flow will be present over much of the northern
Plains into the Upper Midwest and mid/upper MS Valley.
...Central Plains into the Mid Mississippi Valley and Midwest...
Although details remain uncertain, one or more thunderstorm clusters
will likely be ongoing at the start of the period Wednesday morning
across parts of IA into northern MO. An isolated threat for mainly
damaging winds may continue through the morning as this activity
spreads eastward across the Midwest. But, most guidance shows a
general weakening trend with the morning MCS as it generally
outpaces available instability with eastward extent.
In the wake of this morning convection, strong daytime heating will
encourage the development of moderate to strong instability along a
convectively reinforced boundary that should extend across KS into
MO and perhaps parts of IL. Robust convection will likely form along
and south of this boundary Wednesday afternoon/evening as a
shortwave trough and associated mid/upper-level jet moves eastward
from the northern/central Plains over the Upper Midwest and
mid/upper MS Valley. With deep-layer shear forecast to strengthen
through the day with the approach of the mid/upper-level jet,
initial development may be supercellular and pose a threat for large
to very large hail in addition to damaging downdraft winds. This
appears most probable across parts of eastern KS into
western/central MO.
With time, clustering/upscale growth and perhaps an intense MCS will
probably occur across parts of MO and vicinity Wednesday evening as
a southwesterly low-level jet modestly strengthens. Where this
MCS/cluster will develop and move remains rather uncertain. But,
strong buoyancy and steepened low/mid-level lapse rates should
support a threat for scattered severe/damaging winds and perhaps
isolated gusts of 75+ mph. Confidence in a more concentrated
corridor of damaging winds remains too uncertain to include greater
severe wind probabilities at this time.
...Great Lakes/Northeast...
The glancing influence of a shortwave trough moving northeastward
across Quebec and the Northeast should encourage at least isolated
thunderstorm development along a weak cold front from parts of the
Great Lakes region into New England. Weak to locally moderate
instability and modest deep-layer shear should support some threat
for damaging winds with the strongest cells and small clusters that
develop Wednesday afternoon and early evening.

MD 1488 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 468... FOR PARTS OF SOUTHWESTERN NEBRASKA...EASTERN COLORADO...WESTERN KANSAS AND THE TEXAS/OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES
Mesoscale Discussion 1488
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0459 PM CDT Mon Jul 10 2023
Areas affected...parts of southwestern Nebraska...eastern
Colorado...western Kansas and the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandles
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 468...
Valid 102159Z - 110000Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 468
continues.
SUMMARY...Widely scattered strong to severe thunderstorm development
remains possible into the 6-8 PM CDT time frame, with at least one
upscale growing cluster possibly beginning to evolve across far
southwestern Kansas into the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandle vicinity.
Areas to the south of WW 468 are still being monitored for an
additional severe weather watch.
DISCUSSION...Widely scattered strong thunderstorm development
continues to propagate slowly eastward into lee surface troughing,
where a more moist boundary-layer has become characterized by large
CAPE, but remains fairly strongly capped based on latest
mesoanalysis. Storm motions are slow due to weak deep-layer mean
flow on the order of 15 kts or less, but, due to veering profiles
with height, deep-layer shear is strong and supportive of organized
convection, including supercells.
Highest potential for continuing storm development into 23-01Z may
remain focused roughly northwest through north of the Goodland
vicinity, where inhibition appears weakest, and north through east
of the Raton Mesa vicinity into the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandle
vicinity, where activity may be aided by forcing associated with a
perturbation rounding the northeast periphery of the subtropical
high. The southern storm development may begin to focus and
organize along a zone of stronger differential surface heating
extending northwest through southeast across the Panhandle vicinity.

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 469
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
310 PM CDT Mon Jul 10 2023
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Northwest Iowa
Nebraska
Far Southeast South Dakota
* Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 310 PM until
1000 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
mph possible
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5
inches in diameter possible
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to develop across from central
Nebraska into far northwest Iowa this afternoon. Environmental
conditions support strong to severe thunderstorms, with some storms
capable of producing very large hail greater than 2" in diameter
and/or wind gusts near 75 mph.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
statute miles north and south of a line from 35 miles west southwest
of North Platte NE to 60 miles northeast of Sioux City IA. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU9).
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.

MD 1487 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR FAR SOUTHEASTERN MN...NORTHERN WI...AND SOUTHERN UPPER MI
Mesoscale Discussion 1487
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0342 PM CDT Mon Jul 10 2023
Areas affected...Far southeastern MN...northern WI...and southern
Upper MI
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 102042Z - 102245Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...The potential for severe storms capable of damaging winds
and large hail should increase during the next few hours. A watch
may eventually be needed for parts of the area.
DISCUSSION...Visible satellite loops indicate deepening cumulus
along an east-west-oriented cold front draped across parts of Upper
MI, northern WI, and east-central MN. Continued diurnal
destabilization amid frontal convergence should support increasing
convective development during the next couple hours in the vicinity
of the front as it moves slowly southward. Around 40 kt of effective
shear oriented parallel to the cold front should favor a couple
organized clusters and perhaps supercell structures capable of
damaging winds and isolated large hail. With the stronger deep-layer
flow/shear generally confined to the cool side of the cold front, it
is somewhat unclear how organized storms will be as they progress
southward into the stronger surface-based instability into the early
evening. Environmental and convective trends will be monitored
during the next couple hours for a potential watch issuance.

Areas affected...Portions of eastern ID and western MT
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 102007Z - 102230Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated strong to locally severe storms are possible this
afternoon. Marginally severe hail and locally damaging gusts are the
main concerns.
DISCUSSION...Low-topped thunderstorms are gradually increasing in
coverage across the higher terrain in eastern ID and far western MT
-- aided by broad large-scale ascent preceding a shortwave trough
over the Pacific Northwest. During the next couple hours, continued
diurnal heating amid cloud breaks should yield weakly unstable
surface-based inflow for this activity. A belt of around 30-kt
midlevel southwesterly flow (per regional VWP) accompanying the
shortwave trough should support brief updraft organization and an
attendant risk of marginally severe hail and locally severe gusts
with the stronger/longer-lived cores. The severe risk is expected to
remain too isolated/sporadic for a watch.

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0248 PM CDT Mon Jul 10 2023
Valid 102000Z - 111200Z
...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHWEST
NEBRASKA INTO WESTERN AND CENTRAL KANSAS...WITHIN A BROADER-SCALE
SLIGHT RISK AREA EXTENDING FROM NORTHWEST TEXAS INTO WISCONSIN...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms and a couple of organizing
storm clusters may pose a risk for large to very large hail and
severe wind gusts across parts of the Upper Midwest into Great
Plains this afternoon into tonight.
Main change at 20Z was to expand severe probabilities westward
across Colorado as storms have formed near the Front Range. A very
moist air mass remains over the eastern CO counties with mid to
upper 60s dewpoints. For more information see mesoscale discussion
1483.
..Jewell.. 07/10/2023
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1129 AM CDT Mon Jul 10 2023/
...Upper Midwest into Central Plains...
Morning satellite imagery show several low-amplitude shortwave
troughs moving through the northern periphery of the upper ridging
extending from the southern High Plains into the northern Rockies.
One of these shortwaves is moving into central SD, with continued
southeastward motion towards the Mid MO Valley anticipated. In
addition to this approaching shortwave trough, a cold front
stretches from western SD eastward through southern MN and northern
WI and then back northeastward across Upper MI. This boundary is
expected to push gradually southward throughout the day, moving
across much of SD, southern MN, and northern/central WI.
Convergence along this boundary is expected to result in
thunderstorm development during the late afternoon across southern
MN and northern/central WI. Low 60s dewpoints are already in place
in this area, with additional moisture advection helping to offset
mixing throughout the day. As such, low 60s will likely still be in
place later this afternoon, helping to support moderate buoyancy
amid late afternoon temperatures in the upper 80s/low 90s. This
region will also be on the southern edge of the stronger
northwesterly flow aloft around the cyclone centered over northern
Ontario. These environmental conditions should support robust
updrafts along the front. Hail is possible with the initial
development, but low-level lapse rates will likely support
outflow-dominant storm structures, with upscale growth into one or
more linear segment anticipated quickly. These convective lines are
then expected to shift southward into more of central WI northern IA
during the evening before dissipating amid nocturnal stabilization.
Farther west (from the Mid MO Valley into NE), thunderstorms are
expected to develop ahead of the primary frontal zone along a
sharpening pre-frontal trough, with low-level convergence along the
trough augmented by ascent attendant the approaching shortwave.
Afternoon dewpoints along this trough will likely be in the mid 60s,
supporting strong buoyancy amid steep mid-level lapse rates and
surface temperatures in the low 90s. Robust shear will be in place
as well, as strong southerly surface winds veer to northwesterly
aloft. This environment should support supercells capable of large
to very large hail and strong outflow. Some upscale growth is
possible, with the resulting convective line moving south into
southern NE.
Another shortwave trough is moving into western CO, which is
expected to aid in the development of thunderstorms along the lee
trough in eastern CO, where the environment will be similar to that
over NE. Initial supercells capable of large to very large hail and
strong downdrafts are anticipated, before potential upscale growth
in this area as well. Interaction between these more
eastward-progressing storms and then more southward-progressing
storms in NE is likely. The latest guidance suggests this
interaction will lead to the development of a robust MCS capable of
significant wind gusts.
...Southern High Plains...
Afternoon thunderstorm development is anticipated across the higher
terrain before then moving into the moderately unstable airmass
downstream across eastern NM and west TX. The airmass across west TX
will be characterized by greater low-level moisture/instability,
supporting more robust updrafts and an increasing risk of a few
severe storms. Large hail and damaging winds will be possible.
These storms may persist for a few hours and spread into southwest
OK before weakening.
...Central MT...
A few strong to severe storms are possible across the region where
modest destabilization and shear will be in place ahead of a lead
short wave trough progressing into the northern Rockies. Initial
development is anticipated across the higher terrain before then
spreading into more of south-central Montana later this afternoon
into tonight.

0138 PM CDT Mon Jul 10 2023
Valid 111200Z - 121200Z
Minor refinements were made to the elevated area, with a slight
expansion into portions of west-central Utah, based on the latest
guidance.
Elsewhere, the previous forecast remains on track. Isolated to
scattered thunderstorms will be possible across portions of
central/northern Arizona into southern Utah during the
afternoon/evening. However, forecast soundings indicate PWAT values
across this region exceeding 1 inch despite generally receptive
fuels, thus precluding the introduction of highlights for dry
thunderstorms at this time.
..Karstens.. 07/10/2023
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0102 AM CDT Mon Jul 10 2023/
...Synopsis...
Southerly flow beneath the high pressure ridge across the Southwest
will bring moisture northward into Arizona, keeping afternoon
relative humidity higher with cooler temperatures and potential for
wetting rainfall. Portions of Nevada and Utah will remain dry, warm,
and breezy with Elevated fire weather conditions possible on
Tuesday.
...Southern/Central Nevada far western Utah...
Afternoon relative humidity reductions to 10-15 percent will be
possible with sustained winds around 15 mph. ERCs within this region
continue to be within the 90th percentile. An Elevated delineation
has been maintained across portions of southern and central Nevada
and far western Utah to cover this risk.

Valid 111200Z - 121200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHERN
SOUTH DAKOTA INTO NEBRASKA...WESTERN IOWA...FAR NORTHERN MISSOURI...
...SUMMARY...
The greatest risk for severe storms on Tuesday will be centered over
Nebraska, with very large hail and damaging winds possible. Other
severe storms will be possible over northern and eastern Texas, from
eastern Montana into the western Dakotas, and from northern Illinois
to Lake Erie.
...Synopsis...
Moderate northwest flow aloft will persist from the northern Rockies
across the northern Plains, between an upper high over AZ/NM and an
upper low over Hudson Bay. Weak upper ridging will occur over the
northern Plains during day, but this will flatten as a weak wave
moves east/southeastward out of MT.
At the surface, high pressure will begin the day over the northern
Plains and upper MS Valley, with a stalled front roughly along I-80
in NE and IA. Substantial moisture will exist south of the boundary,
with mid 60s dewpoints as far into northwest NE by late afternoon.
Southerly winds above the surface will aid elevated moisture
transport, with substantial elevated instability as far north as
central SD.
...Northern/Central Plains...
Scattered storms are likely by late afternoon from eastern MT into
the western Dakotas as the influence of the midlevel wave is felt,
with heating and convergence near a surface trough. A few cells may
produce hail or gusty winds there.
To the south, storms are likely to form over west-central/northern
NE in proximity to the strong instability. Very large damaging hail
will be likely. Model solutions vary as to how widespread storms
will be, and whether an MCS may form. If that occurs, then the
severe risk would spread eastward across NE, western IA, and parts
of northern KS and MO. Elongated hodographs with veering winds with
height will favor southeastward-moving supercells.
...Northern and eastern TX to the central Gulf Coast...
Models indicate an MCS could be ongoing over parts of OK Tuesday
morning, and any outflow with this system would continue
south/southeast. Strong instability will develop over TX and LA due
to the very moist air mass and steepening low-level lapse rates,
with MLCAPE over 3000 J/kg. Brief hail or locally damaging gusts may
occur with redevelopment related to this regime, and portions of
this region could reach Slight Risk levels in later outlooks as
predictability increases.
