MD 1436 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE...SOUTH PLAINS...SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 1436 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0619 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2024 Areas affected...Southern Texas Panhandle...South Plains...southwest Oklahoma and western North Texas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 262319Z - 270045Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...A few severe wind gusts and isolated marginal hail are possible late this afternoon into early evening. Isolated storm coverage is expected to preclude watch issuance. DISCUSSION...Storms have developed along an outflow boundary where temperatures along and near it have risen into the low 100s F. Shear is not overly strong, particularly with western extent, but southerly surface winds and modest northerly mid-level flow has contributed to around 30-35 kts of effective shear. Very steep lapse rates through about 3 km and large temperature-dewpoint spreads will foster some risk of severe wind gusts (via evaporative cooling) as storms intensify and then collapse. If storms can cluster, a locally greater wind threat would exist. Currently this appears possible in southwest Oklahoma into parts of western North Texas. Additionally, some clustering could occur out of convection in the northwest Texas Panhandle and move south/southeast into the greater buoyancy. ..Wendt/Smith.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1435 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 467... FOR EASTERN KENTUCKY ACROSS WEST VIRGINIA INTO PARTS OF MARYLAND AND VIRGINIA
Mesoscale Discussion 1435 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0543 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2024 Areas affected...eastern Kentucky across West Virginia into parts of Maryland and Virginia Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 467... Valid 262243Z - 270045Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 467 continues. SUMMARY...Local severe risk continues across southern portions of WW 467, though weaker instability farther east casts some uncertainty on the potential need for a downstream watch across northern and western Virginia/Maryland. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows generally disorganized/sub-severe convection ongoing across eastern Kentucky and southern/eastern West Virginia at this time, east of the advancing cold front. Local risk for gusty/damaging winds remains, with the strongest cells, but overall severe potential should continue to gradually diminish this evening. Farther east, a less unstable airmass is indicated, per RAP-based objective analysis. As such, storm intensity is not expected to increase substantially. Additionally, modest flow aloft up to roughly 3 to 4 KM AGL also suggests limited potential for severe-caliber gusts. However, with that said, temperatures well into the 90s across the area are indicative of a deeply mixed boundary layer, suggestive that some evaporative cooling potential exists -- enhancing the risk for strong outflow winds locally. At this time, WW issuance appears unlikely to be needed, though if the aforementioned outflow potential could result in organized cold pool growth/expansion, greater wind risk in that scenario could require reconsideration of the need for a WW. ..Goss.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1434 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR SOUTHEAST COLORADO INTO NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE..OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE...FAR SOUTHWEST KANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 1434 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0529 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2024 Areas affected...Southeast Colorado into northern Texas Panhandle..Oklahoma Panhandle...far southwest Kansas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 262229Z - 270000Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Though coverage may remain isolated, the strongest storms will be capable of large hail and severe winds. Trends will be monitored for a possible watch late this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Moist upslope flow into the Raton Mesa and nearby vicinity has led to a cluster storms within parts of the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandle as well as more isolated development in southeastern Colorado. Modest westerly mid-level winds within the upper-level ridge atop easterly/southeasterly surface winds have promoted modest effective shear of around 30-35 kts. Given weak forcing, storm organization my remain relatively brief/sporadic and coverage of severe storms may remain isolated. The strongest storms will be capable of large hail and severe winds. It is possible that a more organized wind threat could materialize if storms can cluster. A northward moving boundary in southeast Colorado could provide a focus for this. A watch is possible, but with coverage being uncertain, convective trends will continue to be monitored late this afternoon. ..Wendt/Smith.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1433 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR MIDDLE AND EASTERN TENNESSEE INTO SOUTHERN KENTUCKY
Mesoscale Discussion 1433 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0526 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2024 Areas affected...middle and eastern Tennessee into southern Kentucky Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 262226Z - 262330Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Locally strong wind gusts will be possible as a band of storms shifts northeastward across portions of Tennessee and into southern Kentucky. WW issuance may not be needed however, due to isolated nature of this risk. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows and loosely organized, arcing band of storms moving across Middle Tennessee at this time -- in line with recent HRRR runs which depicted this band with reasonable accuracy. The storms are moving northeastward through an amply unstable environment, but with the flow in the lower to middle troposphere somewhat weak (generally less than 25 kt through the mid levels), storm organization/intensity should remain generally limited. With the storms producing a 35 kt gust when moving through Nashville, per the KBNA observation, this supports the assessment of the marginal nature of the risk. Overall, it appears at this time that potential for damaging winds should remain sufficiently isolated to preclude WW consideration. ..Goss/Smith.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1432 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN COLORADO INTO SOUTHEAST WYOMING
Mesoscale Discussion 1432 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0353 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2024 Areas affected...Portions of Northern Colorado into Southeast Wyoming Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 262053Z - 262300Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Thunderstorms have begun developing west of Cheyenne, WY, with additional development possible near the Denver metro where visible satellite shows additional cumulus development. These thunderstorms will be capable of damaging winds and hail, but overall uncertainty in storm organization, coverage, and timing means convective trends will continue to be monitored for weather watch issuance. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm development has increased over Cheyenne and is anticipated to continue eastward into relatively meager buoyancy of 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE, and 40-45 kts of deep layer shear. Further south, developing cumulus was observed west of Denver over the Rockies, with convective coverage expected to increase this evening ahead of a subtle shortwave trough moving around the north side of the upper level high. RAP proximity soundings and SPC mesoanalysis show the environment is characterized by MLLCL heights > 2500m due to a relatively hot, dry boundary layer, indicating the primary threat will be for damaging straight-line winds from thunderstorm outflow. Given the strength of the vertical shear, severe hail is also possible with more organized storms. However, there is considerable uncertainty in the overall timing, coverage, and organization of severe convection this evening, and convective trends will continue to be monitored for later weather watch issuance. ..Halbert/Weinman/Hart.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Drought in Tazewell County was drying up water sources, turning pastures into barren fields and cutting into hay production. “The amount of hay that we’ve lost, the amount of grazing that’s being suppressed. Farmers are having to sell their cattle earlier than they would have because there’s not enough grass and forage for them to continue grazing,” according to the extension agent for the county.

MD 1428 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHWESTERN IDAHO
Mesoscale Discussion 1428 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0247 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2024 Areas affected...Southwestern Idaho Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 261947Z - 262245Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms have developed over Southwestern ID in an environment supportive of isolated damaging wind gusts, marginally severe hail. Given overall uncertainty in convective coverage and longevity, weather watch issuance is not expected at this time. DISCUSSION...Scattered thunderstorms are expected to continue to develop this afternoon across Southwestern ID, as an upper-level shortwave trough over OR and WA continues to advance towards southern British Columbia. Surface temperatures have warmed into the upper 80s F, with dewpoints in the upper 50s F, resulting in MUCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg beneath 35-45 kts of deep layer vertical shear. Additionally, a local maxima of 0-1 km SRH is evident near Boise on both SPC Mesoanalysis and the Boise VAD wind profile, with values between 100-140 m^2/s^2. While the overall coverage and intensity of severe weather is expected to remain marginal, storms in this environment will be capable of isolated damaging wind gusts, and hail near 1-inch. Given uncertainty in convective coverage and intensity, weather watch issuance is not expected at this time, though convective trends will continue to be monitored. ..Halbert/Weinman/Hart.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SUMMARY...Storms are expected to increase in coverage and intensity over the next several hours, with locally damaging gusts or marginal hail. DISCUSSION...A narrow plume of stronger instability extends from KY into WV and southwest PA, where storms are forming within the uncapped air mass. The main cold front and deeper ascent will eventually interact with this area as it moves in from the northwest, leading to increased storm coverage and scattered strong to severe storms. The steep low-level lapse rates along around 30-40 kt midlevel flow may support quick moving storms with strong to damaging outflow. Otherwise, marginal hail will be possible with the cellular storm mode given deep-layer shear close to 35 kt. ..Jewell.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
