SPC 1930Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0226 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2024 Valid 291200Z - 301200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms appear unlikely on Sunday. ...Synopsis... A mature cyclone is forecast to be centered over the TN Valley early Sunday morning. The cyclone is only forecast to make minimal eastward progress throughout the period, remaining largely in place. Farther west, expansive upper ridging is expected to extend from the Southwest into the Upper MS Valley throughout much of the day. Some dampening is possible along the northwest periphery of this ridge as a shortwave trough progresses quickly eastward from southern British Columbia/Pacific Northwest across southern Alberta and Saskatchewan, and the adjacent northern Rockies. At the surface, a low attendant to the TN Valley cyclone will remain largely in place. Low to mid 60s dewpoints will surround this low, covering the OH, TN, and Lower/Mid MS Valley as well as Southeast States. Even with this low-level moisture in place, warm temperatures aloft will prevent deep convection across most of these area. The exception is from the Carolinas southward into the FL Peninsula where models suggest this area may experience enough heating to promote destabilization with around 1000 J/kg MLCAPE forecast. Large-scale forcing for ascent will be nebulous, but low-level convergence could still support isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms. Mid-level southwesterly winds will be around 40-45 kt through the eastern periphery of the TN Valley cyclone, and a few stronger storms are possible across the Carolinas. Severe coverage is still expected to be less than 5%. ..Mosier.. 09/27/2024 Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0210 PM CDT Fri Sep 27 2024 Valid 281200Z - 291200Z A small Elevated risk area has been introduced to portions of south-central NV. Latest guidance continues to show reasonably good agreement in sustained 15 mph winds across this region with no appreciable moisture recovery expected over the next 24 hours. The spatial extent of 15+ mph winds appears to be greater in recent model solutions, which has increased confidence in observing at least a few hours of meeting elevated wind/RH criteria over a region with drying fuels. Windier/drier solutions also hint that gusts upwards of 20-25 mph are possible and may support very localized and transient critical fire weather conditions. See the previous discussion below for additional details. ..Moore.. 09/27/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1238 AM CDT Fri Sep 27 2024/ ...Synopsis... Increasing southerly surface winds are expected to develop across the Great Basin Saturday afternoon, as a mid-level shortwave trough within relatively stronger southerly flow approaches the CA coast. Relative humidity in the low teens will coincide with these higher wind speeds (around 15 mph sustained) yielding at least localized elevated fire weather conditions near and south of the Toiyabe National Forest of NV, where 100-hour fuel moisture continues to decrease. Given the very localized nature of any higher wind potential, however, an Elevated area will not be included in the forecast at this time. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

MD 2125 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 688... FOR EASTERN NC AND SOUTHERN VA
Mesoscale Discussion 2125 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1133 AM CDT Fri Sep 27 2024 Areas affected...eastern NC and southern VA Concerning...Tornado Watch 688... Valid 271633Z - 271830Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 688 continues. SUMMARY...A few brief tornadoes remain possible through the rest of the afternoon as a weakening band of showers with embedded thunderstorms moves across parts of eastern North Carolina and southern Virginia. DISCUSSION...Despite numerous low-level mesocyclones during the late morning to midday, tornadogenesis has largely appeared elusive within a persistent band of convection from the central NC/VA border area southward into coastal far southern NC. One strong meso with the deepest updraft last hour may have briefly produced in southern NC per an ILM LSR. Low-level winds have subsided across the coastal plain via LTX VWP data, but do remain sufficient for a brief tornado threat amid 74-78 F surface dew points and temperatures in the low 80s. Farther north, low-level hodographs remain rather enlarged, but will shrink throughout the afternoon. Morning CAM guidance suggest a breakup to the convective band should occur, which will yield a more cellular mode. This would favor potential for a few tornadoes, but should be tempered by the otherwise diminishing shear/ascent environment. ..Grams.. 09/27/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
