SPC 0730Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0225 AM CDT Thu Oct 31 2024 Valid 021200Z - 031200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF FAR EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND WEST TEXAS... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms, associated with large hail and wind damage, are expected to develop across parts of the southern High Plains on Saturday. A marginal severe threat will also be possible outside of the Slight Risk area in parts of the southern and central Plains. ...Southern and Central Plains... An upper-level trough will move eastward across the western U.S. on Saturday, as southwest mid-level flow remains from the Intermountain West eastward into the Great Plains. A moist airmass will be in place across the southern and central Plains, where scattered thunderstorms will likely develop during the day. The strongest instability is forecast across parts of eastern New Mexico and west Texas by mid to late afternoon. Thunderstorms that develop in this area during the late afternoon and evening could be associated with a severe threat. NAM forecast soundings across west Texas by 00Z/Sunday suggest that MLCAPE will peak in the 1500 to 2000 J/kg range. 0-6 km shear is forecast to increase into the 40 to 50 knot range as a mid-level jet of around 50 knots moves into the southern High Plains. In addition, 700-500 mb lapse rates in West Texas are forecast to be from 7 to 7.5 C/km by early Saturday evening. This should be favorable for supercells associated with large hail and severe wind gusts. The models currently suggest that a severe threat could be of rather long duration, with one round of storms developing across west Texas early in the day, and a second round of storms developing in the evening or overnight period. As these clusters move eastward into the Low Rolling Plains of west-central Texas and into western and central Oklahoma, the threat should become more isolated. Further north, from the Oklahoma Panhandle northward into western Kansas, moisture and instability are gradually forecast to increase Saturday night. Weak instability and moderate deep-layer shear, evident on forecast soundings, could support a marginal threat for hail and severe wind gusts with the greatest threat toward the end of the period. ..Broyles.. 10/31/2024 Read more

MD 2177 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 697... FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN MO
Mesoscale Discussion 2177 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0105 AM CDT Thu Oct 31 2024 Areas affected...portions of central and southern MO Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 697... Valid 310605Z - 310730Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 697 continues. SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorm potential will decrease over the next 1-2 hours across central/southern Missouri. New watch issuance downstream from Severe Thunderstorm Watch 697 is not expected. DISCUSSION...A line of storms extending from central into southern MO will continue to shift east overnight. Convection has largely weakened over the past hour or so as axis of elevated instability becomes increasing pinched off with northward extent and boundary layer inhibition has increased with loss of heating. Strong deep-layer flow remain over the region, and a locally strong gust around 45-60 mph may be possible for another hour or two. Downstream watch issuance is not anticipated. ..Leitman.. 10/31/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LSX...SGF...

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0157 AM CDT Thu Oct 31 2024 Valid 011200Z - 021200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Quasi-zonal mid-level flow will persist over the US Friday as an upper trough moves offshore. A cold front will follow, with high pressure building over the central US. Behind the front, dry offshore flow is likely over parts of the Northeast and Mid Atlantic Coast. Downslope winds are also possible over parts of the central Rockies and High Plains. While localized gusty winds are possible, the lack of stronger synoptic winds suggests fire-weather concerns are low. ...Northeast... In the wake of the aforementioned cold front, a couple hours of dry and breezy conditions are possible across the Mid Atlantic Coast. Breezy 10-15 mph winds are possible through midday with adiabatic drying supporting somewhat lower RH within very dry fuels. However, offshore pressure gradients should gradually weaken through the afternoon, with the strongest winds quickly abating. While fuels are very dry, the overlap with gusty winds and low humidity will be brief and localized. ..Lyons.. 10/31/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0154 AM CDT Thu Oct 31 2024 Valid 311200Z - 011200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Fire-weather concerns over the CONUS are low. In the wake of the strong cold front moving through the central US, a much cooler air mass is expected over the West and the Plains. High pressure will develop behind the front keeping winds relatively light. Some strong flow aloft will remain over parts of the Southwest and southern Great Basin within zonal flow. However, the cooler temperatures will favor only marginally low RH around 20-25%. Additionally, recent precipitation has depleted fuels over much of the area. Thus, locally dry and breezy conditions are possible, but widespread elevated or critical fire-weather conditions are not expected. ..Lyons.. 10/31/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
