SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1138 AM CDT Sun Jun 01 2025
Valid 011630Z - 021200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
CENTRAL/EAST TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered large hail and isolated damaging winds are possible this
afternoon and evening across central and east Texas. More isolated
severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the Middle
Tennessee Valley and Carolinas, High Plains, northern Rockies, and
south Florida.
...Central/East Texas...
A residual small cluster of storms has persisted through late
morning across northeast Texas. Additional and increasingly
surface-based storm development will be possible this afternoon,
particularly into mid/late afternoon. This will be focused where
outflow/differential heating influences interface with an
increasingly unstable (2500+ J/kg MLCAPE) environment near a
northwest/southeast-oriented synoptic boundary and related
instability gradient. Northwesterly deep-layer shear of 35-40 kt
will be sufficient for organized storms, including supercells,
posing a risk for large hail and potentially damaging wind gusts. A
sustained storm interacting with residual/modifying outflow could
have some tornado potential in the presence of locally-augmented
low-level shear. These storms may cluster later today, or otherwise
persist south-southeastward toward east-central/southeast Texas
through early and mid-evening including the I-35/I-45 corridors.
...Tennessee to the Carolinas...
Despite relatively modest low-level moisture, diurnal heating
combined with seasonably cool temperatures aloft associated with a
deep upper-level trough will allow for weak to moderate
destabilization ahead of a weak surface wave and advancing front.
Isolated to scattered storm development is expected this afternoon,
with somewhat greater coverage expected with eastward extent
centered on parts of North Carolina. Modestly favorable effective
shear (generally 25-30 kt) may support occasionally organized storms
capable of isolated damaging wind and hail. Any longer-lived
clusters could pose a more concentrated wind-damage threat.
...Northern Rockies and northern High Plains...
A mid/upper-level shortwave trough will move eastward from the
Pacific Northwest toward the northern Rockies by this evening. Weak
to locally moderate buoyancy and increasing deep-layer shear will
support the potential for somewhat organized cells/clusters with an
attendant threat of isolated severe gusts and hail. This development
should generally focus near the Montana/Idaho/Wyoming border
vicinity as well as near/east of the Bighorns.
...South Florida...
Influenced by moderately strong westerlies aloft, some
strong/locally severe storms may remain possible today along and
south of a boundary that has been effectively reinforced by early
day storms.
...Eastern Colorado/New Mexico...
Scattered storms are again expected this afternoon and evening along
and east of the higher terrain in eastern Colorado/New Mexico. While
deep-layer flow/shear will be relatively modest, guidance suggests
some increase in low-level moisture and instability by afternoon.
Initial storms could pose a threat for isolated hail and strong to
severe gusts. There is some potential for one or more loosely
organized clusters to develop by evening and spread eastward with
strong to locally severe outflow winds.
...Southern California into southern/central Arizona...
A mid/upper-level cyclone will move northeastward into parts of
southern California/Arizona later today. Cool temperatures aloft
will overspread the region, but relatively widespread cloudiness and
precipitation will tend to limit destabilization. If pockets of
locally stronger heating/destabilization can develop, then a few
strong storms could occur.
...Great Basin...
High-based thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon from
parts of Nevada into western Utah. Buoyancy and shear are expected
to remain weak, and organized thunderstorms are not expected,
however localized strong outflow gusts will be possible within this
regime through early evening.

Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0955 AM CDT Sun Jun 01 2025
Valid 011700Z - 021200Z
The previous forecast remains on track with no changes required.
Morning observations show RH values already falling into the teens
to low 20s across western NV with further RH reductions expected as
diurnal heating and downslope warming/drying increase through
afternoon. See the previous discussion below for additional details.
..Moore.. 06/01/2025
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1258 AM CDT Sun Jun 01 2025/
...Synopsis...
An upper-level trough will continue to move through the Northwest
with the southern extension of the trough eventually cutting off
west of the northern California coast. Near Baja, the upper cyclone
will begin to lift into the Southwest ahead of the Northwest/Great
Basin trough. A front will stall in the northern Great Basin with a
modest surface low deepening along the boundary.
...Nevada...
Elevated to locally critical fire weather appears possible in
northwest Nevada in the lee of the Sierra. Downslope winds of 15-25
mph will coincide with 10-20% RH during the afternoon. Duration of
the 20+ mph winds (ensemble guidance shows this quite well) is the
main limiting factor for adding a critical area.
Winds in southern Nevada will also increase during the afternoon.
Low-levels will be dry, but moisture/cloud influx driven by the
approaching cyclone will generally limit the duration of fire
weather concerns. Still, locally elevated conditions are possible,
especially along the northern fringe of clouds/moisture.
Scattered convection with at least some embedded thunderstorms are
also possible across much of Nevada. PW values will generally be too
high with southern extent and coverage/fuel receptiveness is
questionable farther north. Dry lightning risk continues to be too
low for highlights.

MD 1060 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTH-CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA
Mesoscale Discussion 1060
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0705 AM CDT Sun Jun 01 2025
Areas affected...South-central Florida Peninsula
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 011205Z - 011400Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...An isolated tornado threat may continue for the next two
to three hours across south-central Florida. The threat is expected
to remain localized, and weather watch issuance appears unlikely,
although trends will be monitored.
DISCUSSION...An east-to-west band of strong thunderstorms is ongoing
across south-central Florida, along a zone of somewhat focused
low-level convergence. The storms are being supported by a shortwave
trough that is moving through the eastern Gulf. A mid-level jet
streak is analyzed by the RAP from the eastern Gulf extending
eastward across the Florida Peninsula. This jet has strengthened
deep-layer shear over south-central Florida into the 40 to 50 knot
range, according to the RAP. This will support isolated supercell
development this morning. Although RAP forecast soundings across
south-central Florida suggest that low-level shear is not
particularly strong, storm-relative helicity could be locally higher
near the zone of low-level convergence. As a result, transient
supercells could be capable of producing low to mid-level rotation,
with a brief tornado possible. Marginally severe wind gusts could
also occur. The threat should remain localized, and watch issuance
is currently not expected.

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF
NORTHERN AND EASTERN TEXAS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered large hail and isolated damaging winds are possible later
today into this evening across central and east Texas. More isolated
severe thunderstorms are possible across parts of the mid-Tennessee
River Valley into the Carolinas, central and southern High Plains,
northern Rockies, and south Florida.
...Central and eastern TX...
Thunderstorms that developed earlier over northern/central OK have
moved into southern OK/Red River vicinity at 13z, and have thus far
remained only loosely organized. Expectations in the short term are
for this area of rain/thunderstorms to continue south/southeast into
north-central and northeast TX, with perhaps an isolated stronger
storm posing a hail/wind threat. Redevelopment/re-intensification is
anticipated this afternoon as the residual outflow encounters
moderate/strong MLCAPE on the order of 2500-3000 J/kg. Northwesterly
deep-layer shear averaging 35-40 kts will be sufficient for
organized storms, including supercells, posing a risk for large to
very large hail and damaging gusts. A sustained storm interacting
with residual/modifying outflow may have some tornado potential in
the presence of locally-augmented low-level shear.
...TN to the Carolinas...
A quasi-stationary front is forecast to extend from eastern MO
southeastward into NC by early afternoon. Despite relatively modest
low-level moisture, diurnal heating combined with seasonably cold
temperatures aloft associated with a deep upper-level trough will
allow for weak to moderate destabilization near and south of the
front. Isolated to scattered storm development is expected this
afternoon, with somewhat greater coverage expected with eastward
extent. Modestly favorable effective shear (generally 25-30 kt) may
support occasionally organized storms capable of isolated damaging
wind and hail. Any longer-lived clusters could pose a more
concentrated wind-damage threat, and latest hi-res guidance suggests
this may be most likely across central/eastern NC in association
with a weak surface low moving east along the front.
...Eastern ID/Southwest MT/Northwest WY...
A mid/upper-level shortwave trough will move eastward from the
Pacific Northwest toward the northern Rockies by this evening. Weak
to locally moderate buoyancy and increasing deep-layer shear will
support the potential for somewhat organized cells/clusters with an
attendant threat of isolated severe gusts and hail. Depending on the
extent of diurnal heating/destabilization, a localized corridor of
somewhat greater potential may evolve with the broader Marginal Risk
area.
...South FL...
Thunderstorms have redeveloped this morning along a low-level
confluence zone, with a few stronger updrafts occasionally
exhibiting low/mid-level rotation. There will be some potential for
modest diurnal heating and additional destabilization before storms
spread across the rest of south FL through the morning into early
afternoon. Westerly mid-level flow averaging 30 kts with a weakening
mid-level jet will support sufficient deep-layer shear for some
storm organization and the potential for isolated damaging gusts and
hail. A tornado cannot be ruled out this morning through early
afternoon with any stronger/semi-discrete storm. Please refer to
Mesoscale Convective Discussion 1060 for the latest short-term
thinking in this area.
...Eastern CO/NM...
Scattered storms are again expected this afternoon and evening long
and east of the higher terrain in eastern CO/NM. While deep-layer
flow/shear will be relatively modest, guidance suggests some
increase in low-level moisture and instability by afternoon. Initial
storms could pose a threat for isolated hail and strong to severe
gusts. There is some potential for one or more loosely organized
clusters to develop by evening and spread eastward with strong to
locally severe outflow winds.
...Southern CA into southern/central AZ...
A mid/upper-level cyclone will move northeastward into parts of
southern CA/AZ later today. Cool temperatures aloft will overspread
the region, but relatively widespread cloudiness and precipitation
will tend to limit destabilization. If pockets of locally stronger
heating/destabilization can develop, then a few strong storms will
be possible. However, confidence remains too low to introduce severe
probabilities at this time.
...Great Basin...
High-based thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon from
parts of NV into western UT. Buoyancy and shear are expected to
remain weak, and organized thunderstorms are not expected, however
localized strong outflow gusts will be possible within this regime
through early evening.
