SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0148 AM CST Wed Dec 25 2024 Valid 251200Z - 261200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Strong west-southwesterly deep-layer flow within the base of a midlevel shortwave trough will overspread the southern Rockies and adjacent High Plains this afternoon. As a result, breezy westerly surface winds will develop across southern NM into the TX Trans-Pecos region -- where 20-25 percent RH is expected. However, the overlap of dry and windy conditions should remain too localized for an appreciable fire-weather risk. ..Weinman.. 12/25/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC 0700Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0103 AM CST Wed Dec 25 2024 Valid 261200Z - 271200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS CENTRAL/EAST TEXAS AND WESTERN LOUISIANA... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are expected on Thursday across central/east Texas into western Louisiana and possibly southeast Oklahoma and the ArkLaTex region. ...Central/East Texas to ArkLaTex/Lower Mississippi Valley... A low-amplitude southern-stream shortwave trough is expected to transition east-northeastward across Texas toward the Ozarks Thursday and Thursday night. In response, modest surface cyclogenesis should occur across west into North Texas toward the ArkLaTex/Ozarks, with an increasingly moist airmass becoming established across much of east/southeast Texas into Louisiana and the ArkLaTex. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will likely be ongoing and increasing Thursday morning across north Texas into southern Oklahoma. These storms and the timing/location thereof will be an influential factor for the main corridor of severe-weather potential into the afternoon, limiting the northern extent of destabilization where clouds/convection persist. Thinking remains that a surface-based severe risk should increase by Thursday midday/early afternoon initially across east-central/possibly North Texas, perhaps generally around I-35, but probably more so toward the I-45 corridor. Lower/some middle 60s F warm-sector dewpoints are expected across south-central to east/southeast Texas into Louisiana, contributing to upwards of 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE across east/southeast Texas by afternoon, with more minimal/uncertain destabilization northward into southeast Oklahoma and ArkLaTex, where at least some severe risk could still occur. Strong deep-layer/low-level shear, highlighted by 45-55 kt effective shear and 200-300 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH, will support a mixed mode of northeastward-moving bowing segments and semi-discrete/embedded supercells. Isolated large hail will initially be possible, with a damaging wind risk increasing during the afternoon along with the potential for a few tornadoes, potentially including the possibility of a strong tornado (EF2+). Convective intensity and overall severe potential will likely tend to wane progressively into late evening/overnight, but at least a low-end/isolated severe risk will probably persist into parts of Louisiana and possibly as far east as the ArkLaMiss vicinity overnight. ..Guyer.. 12/25/2024 Read more

These storms and the timing/location thereof will be an influential factor for the main corridor of severe-weather potential into the afternoon, limiting the northern extent of destabilization where clouds/convection persist. Thinking remains that a surface-based severe risk should increase by Thursday midday/early afternoon initially across east-central/possibly North Texas, perhaps generally around I-35, but probably more so toward the I-45 corridor. Lower/some middle 60s F warm-sector dewpoints are expected across south-central to east/southeast Texas into Louisiana, contributing to upwards of 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE across east/southeast Texas by afternoon, with more minimal/uncertain destabilization northward into southeast Oklahoma and ArkLaTex, where at least some severe risk could still occur. Strong deep-layer/low-level shear, highlighted by 45-55 kt effective shear and 200-300 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH, will support a mixed mode of northeastward-moving bowing segments and semi-discrete/embedded supercells. Isolated large hail will initially be possible, with a damaging wind risk increasing during the afternoon along with the potential for a few tornadoes, potentially including the possibility of a strong tornado (EF2+). Convective intensity and overall severe potential will likely tend to wane progressively into late evening/overnight, but at least a low-end/isolated severe risk will probably persist into parts of Louisiana and possibly as far east as the ArkLaMiss vicinity overnight. ..Guyer.. 12/25/2024 Read more

MD 2279 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 712... FOR TX COASTAL PLAIN INTO SOUTHEAST TX
Mesoscale Discussion 2279 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1102 PM CST Tue Dec 24 2024 Areas affected...TX Coastal Plain into Southeast TX Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 712... Valid 250502Z - 250700Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 712 continues. SUMMARY...Isolated hail remains possible across much of the region. Some additional severe potential possible over the Middle Texas Coast and another watch may be needed. DISCUSSION...Complex convective evolution is underway from the TX Hill Country into Southeast TX as thunderstorms along the front begin to interact with prefrontal cellular/supercellular development. This interaction will likely lead to gradually diminishing storm strength across much of the region over the next hour or two. Until then, cellular prefrontal development across much of the region will likely remain strong to occasionally severe, supported by steep mid-level lapse rates and moderate deep-layer vertical shear. The only exception is from Karnes/Dewitt Counties northeastward into Fayette County, where the strongest storms are currently ongoing. Here, downstream buoyancy may be high enough for storms to maintain surface-based character as the frontal interaction occurs, leading to upscale growth and a progressive convective line. Increasing large-scale ascent associated with the approaching shortwave trough could contribute to this evolution as well. The resulting convective line would likely push southeastward to the Middle TX Coast with an attendant threat for damaging gusts and isolated hail. Given this potential, a downstream watch may be needed shortly. ..Mosier/Gleason.. 12/25/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LCH...SHV...HGX...FWD...CRP...EWX...
