Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0736 AM CDT Thu Oct 03 2024 Valid 031300Z - 041200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected through tonight. ...Synopsis/Discussion... In mid/upper levels, a nearly zonal northern-stream pattern will prevail either side of the Canadian border, from the Pacific Coast across the Great Lakes to New England. The main feature perturbing that belt for this period will be a strongly positively tilted trough, currently over south-central parts of SK/MB northwestward to north-central AB. This trough will amplify and pivot southeastward/ eastward across northern ON, northern MN and Lake Superior into tonight. By 12Z, the trailing part of this feature should be moving across the western U.P of MI, northern WI and central MN. A weak shortwave trough -- evident in moisture-channel imagery over eastern OR and southwestern ID -- may reach the Quad Cities area of IA/IL by 12Z tomorrow and phase with the larger trough. At the surface, 11Z analysis showed a frontal wave low over northwestern KS, with warm front eastward to west-central/ northwestern MO, and cold front across east-central CO. The low should migrate eastward through the period, reaching north-central/ northwestern MO by 12Z, with cold front trailing across southern KS, western OK and the TX South Plains, and warm front extending to east-central MO and southern IL. ...Mid/upper Mississippi Valley... Capping and meager boundary-layer moisture will inhibit convective potential today along/ahead of the front and low. However, an area of isolated to scattered elevated thunderstorms is possible overnight northeast of the low, supported by large-scale DCVA/lift ahead of the ejecting shortwave trough, and warm advection/ isentropic lift to LFC of increasingly moist parcels above the surface. Activity should be rooted in the 700-800-mb layer, amidst MUCAPE roughly 500-800 J/kg, and around 35-40 kt effective-shear magnitudes. This may support small hail, especially early in the convective cycle when cells are still at least somewhat discrete. Modes should become messier and precip more expansive fairly quickly, as inflow-layer moisture and MUCAPE only slowly increase in the immediate upstream airmass to the southwest. The overall severe threat appears too limited and conditional for an outlook at this time. ..Edwards/Dean.. 10/03/2024 Read more

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 AM PDT Thu Oct 3 2024

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Depression Eleven-E, located near the coast of southeastern
Mexico.

Western Portion of the East Pacific:
A low pressure system located well to the west-southwest of the
southern tip of the Baja California peninsula is producing
disorganized shower and thunderstorm activity. Some limited
development is possible while the low moves slowly northward or
north-northeastward during the next couple of days. Atmospheric
conditions should become less conducive and prevent further
development by the weekend.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

Offshore of Southwestern Mexico:
An area of low pressure could form off the coast of southwestern
Mexico during the early to middle part of next week. Thereafter,
some slow development is possible while the system drifts
northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

Issued at 300 AM CST Thu Oct 03 2024 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 030848 TCDEP1 Tropical Depression Eleven-E Discussion Number 7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112024 300 AM CST Thu Oct 03 2024 The depression still has a disheveled satellite appearance, with a few clusters of deep convection but no clear signs of improved organization since the previous advisory. This is consistent with the latest TAFB and SAB Dvorak estimates (T2.0/30-kt), and the initial intensity remains 30 kt. The center position of the system is very uncertain given the lack of recent microwave or scatterometer data. Based on recent fixes, satellite trends, and earlier scatterometer data, the center has been nudged slightly north and east of previous estimates. A partial scatterometer pass shows the depression is likely interacting with a larger trough that extends northward across the southwestern Gulf of Mexico. The uncertain initial motion of the system is northeastward at 2 kt. In general, the global models show a northeastward to northward motion through Friday while the system approaches and moves across the coast of southern Mexico within the Tropical Storm Warning area. Once again, the NHC track forecast has been adjusted eastward based on the latest guidance. But, the forecast still might require future adjustments if it is determined that the center is located farther east than currently estimated. Significant intensification appears unlikely given the broad, disorganized convective structure of the depression and continued northeasterly shear over the system. However, the warm SSTs and moist environment in which it is embedded could allow for the depression to become a tropical storm before it reaches the coast of Mexico, and this is reflected in the NHC intensity forecast. Regardless, the primary threat remains heavy rainfall that will continue over portions of southern Mexico for the next day or two. KEY MESSAGES: 1. The depression is forecast to become a tropical storm before it reaches the coast of southern Mexico. A Tropical Storm Warning remains in effect for portions of the southern coast of Mexico. 2. Tropical Depression Eleven-E will likely bring heavy rainfall to portions of southern Mexico and Guatemala this week. Flooding and mudslides, especially in areas of steep terrain, are possible, especially from western Guatemala into portions of the Mexican states of Chiapas, Oaxaca, Veracruz, Tabasco, and coastal Guerrero.

Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0222 AM CDT Thu Oct 03 2024 Valid 051200Z - 061200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Potential for severe storms appears low on Saturday. ...Synopsis... A potent upper-level shortwave trough will make quick progress across the northern Plains and move into the upper Mississippi Valley by early evening. A deep surface cyclone within the Canadian Prairie will move east along with its parent upper-level system. Attendant to this cyclone, a cold front will quickly through Minnesota, Wisconsin, and eventually much of Michigan by early Sunday morning. ...Upper-Mississippi Valley Vicinity... Ahead of the cold front, some moisture return is expected to occur. However, this moisture return will have no connection to the Gulf due to a previous frontal passage to near the Gulf Coast. Lack of low-level moisture will likely preclude any potential for surface-based storms. By early evening, strong mid-level ascent, linear frontal forcing, and 850 mb warm air advection should promote scattered storm development from the Mississippi Valley into parts of Wisconsin. Deep-layer winds will be strong, but effective shear will only be marginal given the elevated nature of the convection. 500-1000 J/kg MUCAPE could support some stronger updrafts that could produce small hail. The marginal effective shear and messy storm modes should preclude any greater risk. ..Wendt.. 10/03/2024 Read more
