MD 2064 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 671... FOR CENTRAL ALABAMA
Mesoscale Discussion 2064 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0728 PM CDT Thu Sep 12 2024 Areas affected...central Alabama Concerning...Tornado Watch 671... Valid 130028Z - 130230Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 671 continues. SUMMARY...A small area of conditional tornado potential remains over parts of central Alabama, but probabilities will continue to drop over time. DISCUSSION...Prior to sunset, visible satellite showed areas of agitated CU along a confluence line, and west of a warm front which now stretches from near Birmingham AL into southwest GA. A moist air mass remains over the region, with precipitable water in excess of 1.80". Scattered cells, primarily elevated, developed over east-central AL, and persist this evening. Despite the moist troposphere, instability is not particular strong, and, confined to a relatively narrow axis just west of the warm front. Low-level shear remains favorable in a conditional sense for rotating storms/supercells, however, it appears unlikely at this point that any robust convective machinations will develop to take advantage of said shear. ..Jewell.. 09/13/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 672 SEVERE TSTM MT ND 122235Z - 130400Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 672 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 435 PM MDT Thu Sep 12 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Northeastern and Eastern Montana Western North Dakota * Effective this Thursday afternoon and evening from 435 PM until 1000 PM MDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 85 mph likely Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms will continue to develop and intensify late this afternoon and evening and spread northeast into the Watch area. The stronger thunderstorms, including a mix of cells and linear clusters, will be potentially capable of a severe threat. Severe gusts will probably be the primary severe hazard (60-85 mph), but large hail may accompany the stronger thunderstorm cores as well (1 to 1.5 inches in diameter). The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 85 statute miles north and south of a line from 35 miles west southwest of Glasgow MT to 55 miles northeast of Dickinson ND. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU2). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 670...WW 671... AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 75 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 400. Mean storm motion vector 21050. ...Smith Read more

SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0759 PM CDT Thu Sep 12 2024 Valid 130100Z - 131200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms, associated with severe wind gusts and isolated large hail, are expected this evening in parts of eastern Montana, northeast Wyoming and in the western Dakotas. Wind gusts exceeding 70 mph will be possible. Storms with an isolated tornado threat may also occur this evening in central Alabama. ...Northern High Plains... At mid-levels, the latest water vapor imagery shows a low in the northern Rockies, with cyclonic south to southwest flow over the northern Plains. At the surface, a dual-centered low and an associated cold front is analyzed across the western Dakotas. Strong to severe thunderstorms are located near the front, and further west into the post-frontal airmass in eastern Montana. Within this area of storms, surface dewpoints are in the 50s F, and the RAP is currently estimating MLCAPE in the 500 to 1200 J/kg range. Regional WSR-88D VWPs at Glasgow, Montana and Minot, North Dakota have 0-6 km shear in the 40 to 50 knot range. In addition, most RAP forecast soundings near and just behind the front have 700-500 mb lapse rates between 7.5 and 8 C/km. Surface obs have temperature-dewpoint depressions mostly varying between 15 and 25 degrees F. This environment should continue to support supercells with potential for severe wind gusts. A few gusts over 70 mph will be possible. Isolated large hail may also occur. The greatest severe threat should be over far northeastern Montana into far western North Dakota, near the location of the strongest instability. The threat should persist through the mid to late evening. ...Central Gulf Coast States... The latest mosaic radar imagery shows the remnants of post-tropical cyclone Francine extending from the mid Mississippi Valley southeastward in the central Gulf Coast states. A band of thunderstorms is ongoing across northern and central Alabama, where the RAP is analyzing an axis of instability. Near the axis, the 00Z sounding at Birmingham has MUCAPE around 600 J/kg, with 0-1 Km shear near 40 knots. This should support an isolated threat for supercells and tornadoes. The threat will be concentrated in a relatively small area across central Alabama, where the combination of instability and low-level shear is maximized. The threat is expected to be isolated, and may persist into the late evening. ..Broyles.. 09/13/2024 Read more
