SPC 0830Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0158 AM CST Wed Nov 13 2024 Valid 151200Z - 161200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Friday. ...Synopsis... An intensifying deep-layer low is forecast to be near the NC coast at the start of the period Friday morning. This low will move east-southeastward away from the coast through the day, as a trailing cold front moves through the FL Peninsula and Gulf of Mexico. Elsewhere, a deep mid/upper-level trough will move slowly eastward across the western CONUS. Generally limited moisture/instability will result in low thunderstorm potential across most of the CONUS. Some deeper convection may persist near the NC coast early in the period in association with the departing low. Otherwise, weak convection with isolated lightning flashes cannot be ruled out across parts of CA/NV into the Great Basin/northern Rockies, though confidence in sufficient instability and lightning coverage is too low to add any general thunderstorm areas across the West at this time. ..Dean.. 11/13/2024 Read more

SPC 0700Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1259 AM CST Wed Nov 13 2024 Valid 141200Z - 151200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... A few strong storms will be possible near the central and northeast Gulf Coasts early on Thursday, and later across coastal parts of the Carolinas Thursday evening and night. Organized severe potential appears relatively low at this time. ...Synopsis... A negatively tilted mid/upper-level trough initially over the Midwest/Ohio Valley is forecast to dig southeastward on Thursday and evolve into a closed mid/upper-level low as it approaches the Mid Atlantic. As this occurs, a surface low is forecast to deepen Thursday night along a frontal boundary near the Coastal Carolinas. Farther west, a mid/upper-level shortwave trough is forecast to move eastward and amplify as it approaches the Pacific Coast and eventually moves inland. ...Central/northeast Gulf Coast vicinity... Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing Thursday morning across parts of AL/GA and the FL Panhandle, aided by the mid/upper-level shortwave trough moving across the Ohio Valley and attendant low-level jet. Low-level flow will tend to veer and weaken through the day, which will tend to result in less convective organization with time. However, if organized convection from late on D1/Wednesday can persist into Thursday morning, then rich low-level moisture and sufficient low-level and deep-layer shear could support a threat of isolated damaging winds and possibly a tornado. Probabilities may eventually be needed if it appears that some severe threat may continue from overnight Wednesday into the first part of Thursday. ...Coastal Carolinas... Uncertainty remains regarding the northward extent of appreciable surface moistening/destabilization near the Coastal Carolinas, as the surface low deepens and tracks east-northeastward into Friday morning. However, there appears to be some potential for the effective warm front to overlap parts of coastal NC and the Outer Banks during the evening, as stronger deep-layer flow and ascent overspread the region. Increasingly widespread precipitation will tend to limit destabilization, but favorable wind profiles will support organized convective potential where modest buoyancy can develop. Probabilities may eventually be needed near the coast and Outer Banks, if confidence increases regarding the potential for isolated damaging winds and/or a tornado later in the forecast period. ..Dean.. 11/13/2024 Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook

Fire weather concerns are expected to remain low on Thursday. Areas across the Northeast will see an increase in cloud cover and moisture as a warm front lifts northward and showery activity brings periods of precipitation. Across the Plains and northern Rockies, enhanced westerly flow aloft will overspread the Rockies with potential for an increase in surface winds and a few regions where relative humidity reductions to around 20 percent will be possible. Overall, the overlap of strongest winds and lowest relative humidity where fuels are receptive appears low. ..Thornton.. 11/13/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

An Elevated delineation was maintained with this outlook to cover this threat. Winds should gradually weaken through the afternoon as high pressure builds in across the region. ...Appalachians Tennessee/North Carolina border through the West Virginia-Virginia Border... Strong southeast winds further enhanced by downslope flow will bring areas of locally Elevated fire weather concerns to portions of the Appalachians near the TN/NC border through the WV/VA border.
