Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1232 AM CDT Tue Aug 05 2025 Valid 051200Z - 061200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF NORTH AND SOUTH DAKOTA... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms associated with a threat for severe gusts and large hail will be possible across parts of the Dakotas today into this evening. ...Northern Plains... An upper shortwave trough over the northern Rockies will shift east across the Dakotas and the Canadian Prairies today/tonight. At the surface, a cold front will develop east/southeast across MT into the western Dakotas during the afternoon. Ahead of the front southeasterly low-level flow will maintain low to mid 60s dewpoints beneath steep midlevel lapse rates. This will support moderate to strong destabilization across portions of the western Dakotas and western NE (MLCAPE 2500+ J/kg), with more modest destabilization further north and east. Around 30-40 kt of mid/upper level northwesterly flow atop vertically veering low-level wind profiles will support supercell storms initially across western portions of the outlook area. This will overlap with the corridor of stronger instability and scattered storms produce large hail and strong/severe gusts will be possible. Toward evening, a 30-40 kt southerly low-level jet is expected to develop and upscale development into an MCS is possible across eastern portions of the outlook area. Forecast guidance varies regarding the degree of capping that will exist with eastward extent, but potential for an organized MCS producing strong/severe gusts appears possible across eastern SD, and may persist east/southeast toward the Mid-MO Valley during the nighttime hours. ..Leitman/Weinman.. 08/05/2025 Read more

Tropical Storm Dexter Forecast Discussion Number 5

2 weeks 4 days ago
Issued at 1100 PM AST Mon Aug 04 2025 146 WTNT44 KNHC 050239 TCDAT4 Tropical Storm Dexter Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL042025 1100 PM AST Mon Aug 04 2025 Dexter continues to be disrupted by strong westerly vertical wind shear, with its associated deep convection being displaced to the east of the low-level center. The storm's cloud pattern is very ragged-looking at this time and lacks convective banding features. Satellite-based intensity estimates using subjective and objective methods range from 30 kt to 47 kt. Blending these values, the advisory intensity estimate remains 40 kt, though a recent scatterometer pass suggests this might be generous. Although there is some uncertainty in the center location using infrared imagery, it appears that the forward speed has slowed somewhat and the current motion estimate is around 050/11 kt. Dexter is near the southern edge of a belt of mid-level westerlies. The track guidance is in general agreement on a northeastward to east-northeastward motion for the next several days. However, it is possible that the system could become completely decoupled and move more slowly in the low-level flow. The official forecast assumes that the cyclone will retain enough vertical coherency to be steered at least partially by the mid-level flow. The NHC track forecast is fairly close to the latest corrected consensus, HCCA, guidance. There is no sign that the strong shear in Dexter's environment will abate. In fact, the SHIPS model indicates that the vertical wind shear will increase even more over the next few days. Therefore, it is not likely that the system will be able to strengthen as a true tropical cyclone. The official forecast allows for slight intensification due to baroclinic processes. Simulated infrared imagery and the FSU phase space predictions from the global models suggest that Dexter will likely make the transition into an extratropical cyclone in 2-3 days.

Tropical Storm Henriette Forecast Discussion Number 4

2 weeks 4 days ago
Issued at 500 PM HST Mon Aug 04 2025 147 WTPZ43 KNHC 050239 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Henriette Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082025 500 PM HST Mon Aug 04 2025 Henriette has become slightly better organized this afternoon, with curved banding becoming more defined and a brief burst of deep convection developing over the low-level center. The latest subjective Dvorak intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB are both 3.0/45 knots, while objective estimates from UW-CIMSS have ranged from 39 to 43 knots during the past few hours and show an upward trend. Based on these data, the initial intensity for this advisory has been increased to 45 knots. The cyclone is moving west-northwest, or 290 degrees, at 13 knots. This general motion is expected to continue during the next couple of days as Henriette moves along the southern edge of a subtropical ridge to the north. Between 48 and 72 hours, a slight turn toward the west is forecast as the ridge strengthens north of the cyclone. Beyond 72 hours, a turn back toward the west-northwest or northwest is anticipated as a weakness develops in the ridge north of Hawaii due to an amplifying longwave trough near 160W. The official track forecast remains near the center of the tightly clustered guidance envelope and is very close to the previous advisory. Henriette appears to have a brief window for further intensification over the next day or so, as sea surface temperatures hover between 26 and 27C, mid-level moisture remains sufficient, and vertical wind shear stays light. After 36 hours, the cyclone is expected to move over progressively cooler waters, with mid-level moisture gradually decreasing, and these conditions should lead to steady weakening. The official forecast maintains Henriette as a tropical cyclone through 120 hours, however, it would not be surprising if it transitions into a post-tropical low prior to day 5. The intensity forecast is most closely aligned with the SHIPS and ICON guidance.

Issued at 500 PM HST Mon Aug 04 2025 ZCZC MIATCDEP3 ALL TTAA00 KNHC DDHHMM Tropical Storm Henriette Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082025 500 PM HST Mon Aug 04 2025 Henriette has become slightly better organized this afternoon, with curved banding becoming more defined and a brief burst of deep convection developing over the low-level center. The latest subjective Dvorak intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB are both 3.0/45 knots, while objective estimates from UW-CIMSS have ranged from 39 to 43 knots during the past few hours and show an upward trend. Based on these data, the initial intensity for this advisory has been increased to 45 knots. The cyclone is moving west-northwest, or 290 degrees, at 13 knots. This general motion is expected to continue during the next couple of days as Henriette moves along the southern edge of a subtropical ridge to the north. Between 48 and 72 hours, a slight turn toward the west is forecast as the ridge strengthens north of the cyclone. Beyond 72 hours, a turn back toward the west-northwest or northwest is anticipated as a weakness develops in the ridge north of Hawaii due to an amplifying longwave trough near 160W. The official track forecast remains near the center of the tightly clustered guidance envelope and is very close to the previous advisory. Henriette appears to have a brief window for further intensification over the next day or so, as sea surface temperatures hover between 26 and 27C, mid-level moisture remains sufficient, and vertical wind shear stays light. After 36 hours, the cyclone is expected to move over progressively cooler waters, with mid-level moisture gradually decreasing, and these conditions should lead to steady weakening. The official forecast maintains Henriette as a tropical cyclone through 120 hours, however, it would not be surprising if it transitions into a post-tropical low prior to day 5. The intensity forecast is most closely aligned with the SHIPS and ICON guidance.
