Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1247 AM CDT Wed Aug 28 2024 Valid 281200Z - 291200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY/MIDDLE ATLANTIC AND OVER THE DAKOTAS... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are expected from the Ohio Valley to the northern Mid-Atlantic coast, and across parts of North and South Dakota. ...Ohio Valley/Middle Atlantic... Upper ridge is gradually breaking down over the Ohio Valley, as heights are suppressed along the southern fringe of stronger flow, in association with a progressive short-wave trough. Additionally, a weak disturbance is currently located over northern MO which should advance into Indiana by 18z. Aforementioned Great Lakes short-wave trough will encourage a surface boundary to sag south into the OH Valley by mid day. This boundary will likely serve as the primary focus for robust convective development later today. Early this morning, leading edge of a larger complex of convection has advanced into northwest OH. This activity will propagate downstream into western PA later this morning, and some intensification may occur along the leading edge of the MCS carcass as boundary-layer heating aids destabilization. If so, this activity would progress southeast toward MD/DE/southern NJ with an attendant risk for primarily wind. Upstream, a secondary corridor of robust convection should evolve ahead of the northern MO disturbance that tracks into IN by midday. Strongest corridor of instability will extend across southern IL into central OH ahead of this feature/surface front. While deep-layer flow will remain seasonally weak, damaging winds along with some hail risk will be noted with this robust convection. Convective temperatures will be breached early, and surface-based updrafts may begin to organize by 17-18z. ...Dakotas... Strong short-wave trough will migrate across the northern Rockies into eastern MT by 29/12z. 60-120m, 12hr mid-level height falls will develop ahead of this feature across eastern MT/western ND during the latter half of the period. This strong short wave will result in a pronounced surface front that will surge into the western Dakotas by 18z, then into the eastern Dakotas by the end of the period. Very strong surface heating is forecast across the High Plains of SD extending into extreme southern ND. This will result in a narrow corridor of strong buoyancy by early afternoon, but capping will hold until 22-23z as temperatures warm through the mid 90s. NAM forecast sounding for PIR at 23z exhibits negligible inhibition with ample 0-6km shear for supercells and very steep lapse rates. Models also suggest LLJ will strengthen ahead of the front, and this will support organized, longer-lived updrafts. Scattered supercells should evolve ahead of the front, and will pose a risk for very large hail and damaging winds. A tornado can not be ruled out with early evening supercells. ..Darrow/Squitieri.. 08/28/2024 Read more

Increased fire activity in Mississippi

1 year ago
Drought has elevated the fire danger across Mississippi, leading to higher fire activity. A massive wildfire was burning in Webster County after fire fighters responded to a 25-acre wildfire the previous day. The Kilmichael Volunteer Fire Department in Montgomery County has responded to eight fires in two days, compared to an average of one or two per month. Ackerman and Coffeeville have issued burn bans within their city limits to reduce the likelihood of additional fires. WTVA (Tupelo, Miss.), Aug 26, 2024 Mississippi typically has a dry late summer period and has had an uptick in fire activity. Since Friday, August 16, there have been nearly 68 wildfires. The Mississippi Forestry Commission has begun receiving requests for burn bans across the state. Adams County was under a burn ban. WJTV TV 12 (Jackson, Miss.), Aug 22, 2024

MD 2023 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 658... FOR PARTS OF NORTHERN IL INTO EXTREME NORTHWEST IN
Mesoscale Discussion 2023 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0939 PM CDT Tue Aug 27 2024 Areas affected...Parts of northern IL into extreme northwest IN Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 658... Valid 280239Z - 280415Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 658 continues. SUMMARY...Some threat for hail and damaging wind may persist through late evening. DISCUSSION...Convection has largely become outflow dominant this evening across northern IL, within an environment that is strongly unstable (with MLCAPE of 3000-4000 J/kg), but with only weak to marginal deep-layer shear. Favorable thermodynamic profiles (as noted on the 00Z ILX/DVN soundings) will continue to support briefly intense updrafts with isolated hail potential. A large area of convective outflow has moved into western IL from northeast MO/southeast IA, with smaller outflows being generated by redeveloping storms within the primary instability axis. Locally damaging winds may accompany this outflow-dominant convection through late evening, before increasingly extensive convective overturning results in a weakening trend overnight. ..Dean.. 08/28/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Thunderstorms should continue to grow in coverage and intensity this afternoon and evening as they move east-southeastward. Large hail around 1-2 inches in diameter will be a threat with any supercells, but severe/damaging winds generally around 60-70 mph may also occur if thunderstorms can grow into a small cluster. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 45 statute miles east and west of a line from 15 miles west of Racine WI to 55 miles southeast of Marseilles IL. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8). 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 656...WW 657...

Valid 280129Z - 280300Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 658, 660 continues. SUMMARY...The damaging-wind threat is expected to spread southeastward with a small storm cluster.

While MLCINH increases with southeastward extent, strong buoyancy and the current organized nature of this cluster will continue to support a threat of severe/damaging gusts across a larger part of northern IN and southwest MI into late evening.
