SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1253 AM CDT Fri Aug 09 2024 Valid 091200Z - 101200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST... ...SUMMARY... A tornado threat is expected today from the Delmarva northward into eastern New York. A few strong wind gusts will also be possible across parts of the Northeast, and in parts of the southern Plains. ...Northeast... The remnants of Debby will move across parts of the central and northern Appalachians, and across the adjacent Atlantic coastal plains today. An associated low-level speed max of 40 to 50 knots will move northward from the Mid-Atlantic this morning into southeastern New York by early afternoon. This feature will contribute to strong low-level shear within a very moist airmass. RAP forecast soundings around midday from the Delmarva northward into southeast New York have surface dewpoints in the mid 70s F, with 0-3 km storm-relative helicity of 200 to 300 m2/s2. This should be enough for an isolated tornado threat. Any cells that develop in or near the low-level speed max could be associated with a tornado threat. In addition, a potential for marginally severe wind gusts, will develop and gradually shift northward across the region today, eventually affecting parts of western New England by late afternoon. ...East-central Texas... A moist airmass will be in place today across parts of the Texas Coastal Plains northward into the Texas Hill Country. As surface temperatures warm, moderate instability will develop across parts of central and east Texas. Recent short-term model forecasts suggest that a cluster of storms will develop near the northern edge of instability, south of the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex. This convection is forecast to move southward during the afternoon, reaching parts of the middle Texas Coastal Plain by early evening. The moderate instability combined with steep low-level lapse rates could be sufficient for a few marginally severe wind gusts. ...Southern High Plains... A large area of mid to upper-level high pressure will remain over the southern Plains today. At the surface, an axis of maximized low-level moisture will be in place across parts of west Texas and eastern New Mexico. As surface temperatures warm, moderate instability will likely develop along this corridor. Convection that initiates in the higher terrain of northern New Mexico is expected to move southeastward along the northern edge of this instability corridor during the afternoon and evening. The stronger cells within this cluster may be associated with marginally severe wind gusts. ..Broyles/Wendt.. 08/09/2024 Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1240 AM CDT Fri Aug 09 2024 Valid 101200Z - 111200Z ...Synopsis... The upper-level tough will continue into the northern Rockies, though it will lose more amplitude on Saturday. A surface trough will deepen in the northern Great Basin beneath a belt of stronger mid-level winds. Elevated fire weather conditions appear probable in portions of northern Nevada into southern Idaho. Surface winds near the trough and the lee of the Sierra will increase to 15-20 mph with RH falling into the teens to perhaps single digits during the afternoon. Additional isolated thunderstorms are possible in central Idaho. Given the stronger flow aloft and dry boundary layer, these storms may produce little rainfall. Some impact on fuels from potential precipitation occurring on Friday could occur. Highlights will be maintained where confidence in storm development is highest and fuels are sufficiently receptive. ..Wendt.. 08/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

A subdued upper-level ridge will persist within the Great Basin into part of the northern Rockies. In the Northwest, a low-amplitude upper trough will make gradual progress eastward through the day. Some isolated thunderstorm activity, some of which may be dry, is possible in the northern Cascades as well as central Idaho into western Wyoming. Storm motions in Washington will a touch on the slow side, make a mix of wet/dry storms probable. Storms have some potential to be drier in the northern Rockies given the belt of stronger mid-level winds aloft.
