Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1256 AM CDT Sun Sep 15 2024 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN THE EASTERN GREAT BASIN TO FOUR CORNERS...THE RED RIVER VALLEY OF THE NORTH...AND EASTERN NC... ...SUMMARY... On Monday, sporadic severe gusts and marginally severe hail will be possible during the afternoon to early evening across parts of the eastern Great Basin to Four Corners. Isolated, marginally severe storms are possible over eastern North Dakota into northwest Minnesota during the late afternoon and evening. A low-probability tornado threat may develop over eastern North Carolina. ...Eastern Great Basin to the Four Corners... An amplified mid-level low near the Bay Area at 12Z Monday should initially move east before curling northeast Monday night towards the NV/UT/ID border area. This will occur in response to a strong mid-level jet translating through the basal portion of the large-scale trough across the Desert Southwest into the eastern Great Basin. Convection should be ongoing Monday morning immediately ahead of the mid-level low and separately in the low-level warm/moist conveyor over the Four Corners region. Greater boundary-layer heating should occur between these two regimes across eastern NV into UT, west of the Wasatch Range. Despite meager MLCAPE, the deepening boundary layer amid a strengthening meridional wind profile should yield efficient downward mixing. This will be further augmented by evaporatively cooled downdraft accelerations and promote a threat for sporadic severe gusts. Farther southeast, a more southwesterly mid to upper-flow regime should yield hodograph elongation, supporting a few splitting supercells. Warmer mid-level temperatures and correspondingly weaker lapse rates will temper parcel acceleration to an extent, but this may be offset by somewhat higher PW values. Marginal severe hail/gusts will be possible. ...Eastern ND to northwest MN... With the primary upper-level trough displaced well to the west, deep-layer shear will remain weak across much of the Great Plains. However, most guidance suggests an MCV will emanate out of D1 central High Plains convection and gradually progress northeast towards the Red River Valley. In conjunction with the northern nose of a strengthening central to northern Great Plains low-level jet, a focused corridor for regenerative thunderstorm development may occur during the late afternoon and evening. Some low-level hodograph enlargement should support a predominantly clustered convective mode, with transient supercell structures possible. An isolated, lower-end severe hail/wind threat may develop, and a brief tornado is also possible. ...Coastal NC... While guidance consensus increasingly favors offshore cyclogenesis, the amplitude of this development along with timing of inland progression remain quite varied for a D2 forecast. The 00Z NAM and some of the 18Z ECMWF ENS members suggest particularly robust deepening will occur. The more aggressive scenarios would yield substantial enlargement of low-level hodographs, likely becoming coupled with a narrow swath of high theta-e air spreading west-northwestward from the Gulf Stream. Given the potential range of scenarios from nil threat to multiple tornadic supercells, a low-probability tornado highlight appears warranted. ..Grams.. 09/15/2024 Read more

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Altata to Huatabampito Mexico A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case during the next few hours. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 PM MST (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ileana was located near latitude 25.4 North, longitude 109.2 West. Ileana is meandering off the coast of northern Sinaloa but has a longer-term motion toward the west-northwest near 2 mph (4 km/h). A turn toward the northwest is expected soon with an increase in forward speed. On the forecast track, the center of Ileana will move near the coastal region of northern Sinaloa overnight, and then move over the Gulf of California roughly parallel to the coast on Sunday. Maximum sustained winds have begun decreasing and are now near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional weakening is forecast, and Ileana is expected to degenerate into a remnant low on Sunday. The remnant low is expected to dissipate by Monday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1004 mb (29.65 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Ileana can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP4 and WMO header WTPZ44 KNHC. RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Ileana is expected to bring additional rainfall amounts of 3 to 6 inches, with localized higher amounts up to 10 inches, across northwest coastal Sinaloa through this weekend. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with Tropical Storm Ileana, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_ep4.shtml?rainqpf WIND: Tropical storm conditions, especially in gusts, are expected across portions of the warning area in northern Sinaloa and southern Sonora during the next few hours. SURF: Swells generated by Ileana will affect portions of the Gulf of California coasts of Sinaloa, southern Sonora, and southern Baja California Sur during the next day or so. These swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.

Tropical Storm Ileana Forecast Discussion Number 11

1 year ago
Issued at 800 PM MST Sat Sep 14 2024 000 WTPZ44 KNHC 150237 TCDEP4 Tropical Storm Ileana Discussion Number 11 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP092024 800 PM MST Sat Sep 14 2024 Ileana has stalled near the coast of northwestern Mexico, offshore of the state of Sinaloa. All of the deep convection has moved inland, as indicated by both the radar and satellite imagery, leaving the low-level circulation exposed. Surface observations from Topolobampo and Los Mochis recently measured sustained winds of 39 kt, with higher gusts. Based on these data, the initial intensity for this cycle is raised to 40 kt. The storm is drifting with an uncertain motion of 360/1 kt. Ileana is still expected to turn northwestward soon and gradually accelerate, bringing the center across the northern coastal region of Sinaloa during the next 12 h. By Sunday, the cyclone is forecast to be near the coast of southern Sonora and stay roughly parallel to the coast of Mexico over the Gulf of California until the system dissipates. The new track forecast is again nudged to the north and east of the previous track and lies near the various consensus models. Despite strong southwesterly vertical wind shear decoupling Ileana's surface circulation from its deep convection, the surface winds have yet to weaken. Global models indicated that deep organized convection should not reform and therefore Ileana is expected to become a post-tropical cyclone by Sunday. The system should gradually weaken due to the interaction with land and surrounding dry air and strong vertical wind shear. The official forecast shows Ileana dissipating by late Monday, though some numerical guidance suggests this could occur sooner. Key Messages: 1. Tropical Storm Ileana will bring heavy rainfall to portions of coastal Sinaloa, Mexico through this weekend. This heavy rainfall will bring a risk of flash flooding and mudslides to portions of the area. 2. Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning area of northern Sinaloa and southern Sonora through Sunday.

Interests elsewhere in the Mexican states of Sinaloa and Sonora should closely monitor the progress of Ileana. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 800 PM MST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ileana was located near latitude 25.5 North, longitude 109.0 West. Ileana is drifting toward the north near 2 mph (4 km/h). A turn toward the northwest is expected soon with an increase in forward speed. On the forecast track, the center of Ileana will move near, or over the coastal region of northern Sinaloa during the next several hours, and then move over the Gulf of California roughly parallel to the coast on Sunday.

SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook CORR 1 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0819 PM CDT Sat Sep 14 2024 Valid 150100Z - 151200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN PLAINS... CORRECTED FOR FLIPPED THUNDER LINE ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms capable of producing isolated severe gusts and hail will be possible this evening over parts of the central and northern Plains. ...Central and Northern Plains... The latest water vapor imagery shows a shortwave trough over the Dakotas extending southward into northern Nebraska. Along this corridor, the RAP has a two distinct vorticity maxima analyzed. At the surface, a trough is located in the northern High Plains, and a moist airmass is present over much of the central and northern Plains. Surface dewpoints within this moist airmass vary from the mid 50s to mid 60s F. The RAP suggests that moderate instability is present from west-central Nebraska into parts of the Dakotas, where isolated to scattered thunderstorms are ongoing. The North Platte 00Z sounding has the best severe environment regionally, with MLCAPE near 1500 J/kg, and 0-3 km shear around 35 knots. On this sounding, the average low to mid-level lapse rate is near 7.5 C/km. This, along with instability and shear suggest that a marginal severe threat will likely continue for a few more hours. Isolated severe gusts and hail will be possible with rotating cells. The threat is expected to diminish during the mid to late evening as instability decreases across the region. ..Broyles.. 09/15/2024 Read more
