Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low on Friday. High pressure will continue to build in across the western US with warming temperatures and some drying of fuels. Overall, high pressure will keep winds light and fire concerns low. Across the eastern US, remnants of Hurricane Helene will bring strong winds but also widespread heavy rainfall. Overall, no overlap of Elevated/Critical conditions with receptive fuels is expected on Friday. ..Thornton.. 09/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Hurricane Warning is in effect for... * Tecpan de Galeana to Punta San Telmo A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Punta Maldonado to Tecpan de Galeana A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within 24 to 36 hours. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within 12 hours. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1200 AM CST (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm John was located near latitude 17.0 North, longitude 102.4 West. John is moving toward the northwest near 5 mph (7 km/h) and this motion is expected to continue for the next day or two, followed by a gradual turn to the west-northwest on Friday. On the forecast track, the center of John is forecast to approach the southwestern coast of Mexico by tonight and move along the coast or inland on Friday. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher gusts. John is forecast to strengthen to a hurricane later today, with additional strengthening expected until the center moves along the coast or inland. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 150 miles (240 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 982 mb (28.99 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Through Friday, Tropical Storm John is expected to produce additional rainfall amounts of 10 to 20 inches with isolated totals around 30 inches across portions of the Mexican States of Guerrero, Oaxaca and Michoacan. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with John, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep5.shtml?rainqpf STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce coastal flooding near and to the east of where the center makes landfall. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by large and destructive waves. WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected along the coast within the hurricane warning area by tonight or early Friday. Winds are expected to first reach tropical storm strength later this morning, making outside preparations difficult or dangerous. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. Tropical storm conditions are currently occurring over portions of the coast within the tropical storm warning area, and should continue through today. SURF: Swells associated with John are forecast to continue to affect the coast of southern and southwestern Mexico through the week, with the potential for dangerous surf and rip currents. Please see local statements for more information. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 300 AM CST. $$ Forecaster Roberts

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1220 AM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024 Valid 261200Z - 271200Z ...Synopsis... The pattern across the US on Thursday will be characterized by Hurricane Helene moving inland and becoming absorbed into the upper-level flow across the eastern US as a ridge of high pressure continues to be in place across the western US. Across the northern Rockies, a shortwave trough will traverse the northern periphery of the ridge with a dry cold front sagging southward into the northern Plains through the period. Ahead of the front, relative humidity around 15-20 percent will be possible across portions of eastern Wyoming into South Dakota. The frontal passage will bring an increase in surface winds, with sustained winds around 20-25 mph. There is some question as to what the duration of overlap will be between the lower relative humidity and stronger wind speeds. HREF probabilities of Elevated to Critical conditions remain generally around 30-40 percent. Fuels across much of eastern Wyoming into South Dakota are critically dry. Taking into account the possibility of briefly Elevated to locally Critical conditions, an Elevated area was included with this outlook given the uncertainty. ..Thornton.. 09/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Tropical Storm John Forecast Discussion Number 13

9 months 4 weeks ago
Issued at 900 PM CST Wed Sep 25 2024 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 260335 CCA TCDEP5 Tropical Storm John Discussion Number 13...Corrected NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102024 900 PM CST Wed Sep 25 2024 Corrected Hurricane to Tropical Storm John An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter Aircraft just finished its investigation of Tropical Storm John and found that the central pressure has dropped to 984 mb. Dropsonde data and SFMR data support an intensity of 55 kt, which is also the average of the latest TAFB and SAB intensity estimates. Satellite imagery shows a very large area of very cold cloud tops. Based on the available data, the initial intensity is increased to 55 kt. Based on fixes from the Air Force plane, the initial motion is estimated to be northwestward, or 325/4 kt. The model guidance has made a big shift to the west on this cycle, which makes sense since John has been moving significantly to the west of the previous NHC forecast track. The new NHC track forecast has been shifted well to the west, and currently lies slightly to the east of the latest track consensus aids. The westward shift to the track has necessitated the Hurricane Warnings to be shifted farther west along the coast of Mexico. The new forecast shows landfall occurring about 40 to 50 miles farther to the west compared to the previous official forecast, with the forecast landfall now well to the west of Lazaro Cardenas later Thursday night. It should be noted that there is still quite a bit of uncertainty in the track forecast. Tropical Storm John is currently located over 31C sea-surface temperatures, which is extremely warm. The tropical storm is also in a moist environment and appears to also have a favorable upper-level wind environment. Both the GFS-SHIPS and the ECMWF-SHIPS Rapid-Intensity-Index shows a very high chance of rapid intensification over the next 24 hours. The new NHC intensity forecast has been increased significantly from the previous official forecast, and lies near the high end of the latest intensity guidance suite. Given the extremely favorable environmental conditions, it wouldn't be surprising if further increases to the intensity forecast are needed on subsequent forecasts. Although this forecast shows dissipation by hour 60, there is a chance that John could survive a bit longer, moving west-northwestward near the coast of Mexico. It cannot be emphasized enough that catastrophic life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides are expected to continue through the end of the week for portions of the Mexican States of Guerrero, Oaxaca and Michoacan. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Tropical Storm John will bring additional very heavy rainfall to coastal portions of southwest Mexico through Friday. The additional rainfall totals will be falling across areas that have received very heavy rainfall amounts over the past few days. This heavy rainfall will likely cause significant and catastrophic life-threatening flash flooding and mudslides to the Mexican States of Guerrero, Oaxaca and Michoacan. 2. John is forecast to strengthen to a hurricane before landfall, and the Hurricane Warning has been extended westward along the coastline of southwestern Mexico, where tropical storm conditions could begin within the next few hours. Tropical Storm Warnings are also in effect for portions of the area.
