SPC 2000Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0257 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024 Valid 172000Z - 181200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE NORTHERN PLAINS SOUTHWESTWARD TO THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS...AND EASTWARD TO WISCONSIN... ...SUMMARY... Scattered strong to severe storms potential persists across parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley, and over the central High Plains and northern Plains late this afternoon through tonight. Severe/damaging winds and large hail appear possible. ...Discussion... Ongoing convective evolution this afternoon remains largely in line with expectations, as laid out in prior outlooks. Generally minor line adjustments are all that appears necessary at this time, the most notable of which across the Wisconsin vicinity. Here, SLGT risk for hail/wind has been expanded southward in this update, to reflect severe risk evolving near the convective outflow that now arcs northeast to southwest across central Wisconsin, near where storms continue to initiate. Elsewhere, only minor changes to outlook areas appear necessary at this time. ..Goss.. 06/17/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1130 AM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024/ ...Upper Mississippi Valley/Upper Great Lakes... A loosely organized thunderstorm cluster is ongoing late this morning across northern WI into the U.P. of MI. With steep mid-level lapse rates present per the 12Z sounding from GRB, along with sufficient deep-layer shear to support organized updrafts, at least an isolated severe hail/wind risk should continue through the afternoon across this region along and east of a front. In the wake of this activity, large-scale ascent appears nebulous/weak across much of the upper MS Valley. Still, modest forcing associated with low-level warm advection through the day may be enough for additional convection to develop this afternoon along the southward extent of the front across this region. The best chance for this to occur appears to be across parts of northern IA/southern MN and perhaps western WI along and near the surface front, which may try to lift slowly northward through this afternoon/evening. If surface-based thunderstorms can develop across this area, they would pose some threat for severe hail and damaging winds given moderate forecast instability and sufficient deep-layer shear to support updraft organization. However, this scenario remains low confidence, as earlier convection has shunted the surface front well into IA this morning. This boundary is forecast to lift northward as a warm front tonight ahead of an mid/upper-level wave approaching from the northern/central Plains, and mainly a hail threat could persist across parts of MN and vicinity through early Tuesday morning with elevated supercells that may develop in a strengthening low-level warm advection regime. ...Northern/Central Plains... A pronounced upper trough/low over the Northwest will move eastward through the period over the northern/central Rockies and adjacent High Plains. Related surface lee cyclogenesis is expected to further occur through this evening over the central High Plains, focused on the northeast CO, southeast WY, and NE Panhandle vicinity. Multiple rounds and zones of severe thunderstorm potential still appear possible across much of the northern/central Plains this afternoon through tonight. Intense thunderstorm development may occur near the surface triple point in southwest NE and vicinity this afternoon, although the later timing of large-scale ascent associated with the upper trough casts some doubt on surface-based thunderstorm initiation. The presence of steep mid-level lapse rates and rich low-level moisture should aid in the development of moderate to strong instability as daytime heating occurs and as the warm front attempts to lift slowly northward across the central Plains. Deep-layer shear will be strong enough for supercells with associated large hail threat. Isolated very large hail may also occur. Some upscale growth/clustering along and near the front appears possible with time this evening, and a greater threat for severe/damaging winds may eventually be realized. Effective SRH is also forecast to quickly increase late this afternoon into the evening as a southerly low-level jet rapidly strengthens over the northern/central Plains. If any supercell can persist in this time frame, it would pose a threat for a tornado. A somewhat separate area of supercell potential is also evident across northeast WY/southeast MT, where modest low-level moisture return and upslope flow to the Bighorns may promote convective initiation later today as the upper trough continues eastward. Isolated to scattered large hail appears to be the main threat with this convection, if it develops and assuming sufficient instability can materialize. Otherwise, mainly elevated thunderstorms will likely develop and persist late this evening and overnight across a broader portion of the northern Plains. Large hail should be the main threat, although severe/damaging winds may occur with any convection that can remain near/south of the northward-lifting warm front. ...Southern High Plains... Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms may occur with southward extent along the length of the dryline/lee trough this afternoon across the southern High Plains. Deep-layer shear should remain fairly modest (generally 20-30 kt). Still, any convection that can develop late this afternoon may pose an isolated threat for severe wind gusts and hail through early evening given a moderately to strongly unstable airmass. ...Lower Great Lakes/Upper Ohio River Valley... A remnant convective cluster/MCV over southern Ontario should broadly influence additional thunderstorm development to its east this afternoon across the lower Great Lakes and upper OH Valley regions. Instability is forecast to gradually increase with continued daytime heating and low-level moisture streaming northward. Deep-layer shear should remain generally weak (25 kt or less). Still, steepening low-level lapse rates and a moist/moderately unstable airmass could allow for some stronger pulse-type/occasionally clustering thunderstorms capable of producing localized wind damage this afternoon and early evening.

MD 1302 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN INDIANA...NORTHERN AND CENTRAL OHIO...INTO FAR WESTERN NEW YORK/PENNSYLVANIA
Mesoscale Discussion 1302 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1228 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024 Areas affected...portions of eastern Indiana...northern and central Ohio...into far western New York/Pennsylvania Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 171728Z - 171930Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Storm coverage may gradually increase through the afternoon with one or more convective clusters possible. Storm organization should remain fairly limited, but damaging gusts and isolated hail will be possible with the stronger cores. A WW is not expected. DISCUSSION...As of 1720 UTC, regional radar and satellite data showed isolated thunderstorms had evolved out of a destabilizing air mass over parts of the mid and upper OH Valley. Located near the periphery of a large mid-level anticyclone and near a weak remnant MCV, forcing for ascent is rather nebulous and is likely primarily being driven by ongoing strong diurnal heating. As surface temperatures approach and breach convective temperatures, storm coverage should increase supported by 2000-3000 J/kg of MLCAPE from SPC mesoanalysis. Vertical shear is rather weak, generally less than 20 kt, which should favor a multicellular storm mode. Some clustering of stronger cells is also expected given relatively high LCL heights (> 1500m) and steep low-level lapse rates supporting efficient downdrafts. This will likely favor damaging gusts with the stronger storms. Isolated hail may also be possible with the deeper and more persistent updrafts given the large magnitude of buoyancy. While a few stronger clusters of storms may evolve, the limited vertical shear and forcing for ascent suggest storm organization will be limited. Given the limited storm organization, a WW is not expected. ..Lyons/Halbert/Gleason.. 06/17/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

A trough will lift northward across the Northern Rockies into the northern Plains on Tuesday. Heights will rise across the southwestern US with weakening southwest gradients and lighter winds returning. Areas of dry southwesterly flow will linger across portions of central/eastern New Mexico. In this region, afternoon relative humidity reductions to 10-15 percent will overlap winds around 15 mph for a period of Elevated fire weather Tuesday afternoon. Localized breezes and Elevated fire weather concerns may extend further southwest into western New Mexico and southern Arizona. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

MD 1301 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 428... FOR FAR NORTHEAST WI INTO CENTRAL/EASTERN UPPER MI
Mesoscale Discussion 1301 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1128 AM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024 Areas affected...Far Northeast WI into Central/Eastern Upper MI Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 428... Valid 171628Z - 171800Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 428 continues. SUMMARY...Threat for damaging gusts and/or hail will continue for the next hour or so. Downstream watch across the eastern UP not currently anticipated. DISCUSSION...Loosely organized convective cluster continues to progress northeastward from far northeastern WI into central Upper MI, supported by a eastward-progressing cold front. Modest destabilization has occurred downstream across central Upper MI, with mid/upper 70s temperatures amid upper 60s/low 70s dewpoints current in place. This buoyancy should help maintain the ongoing cluster, with some modest intensification possible over the next hour or so. Damaging gusts will remain the primary risk, but hail is possible with any more cellular development that occurs ahead of the cluster. Given the increasing cloud cover, destabilization is more uncertain farther east into eastern Upper MI, with the storms expected to gradually weaken as they encounter the increasing stable airmass farther east. As such, a downstream watch across the eastern UP appears unlikely. ..Mosier.. 06/17/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...MQT...GRB...

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1223 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024 Valid 181200Z - 191200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE UPPER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... Scattered strong to severe storms will be possible Tuesday afternoon over parts of the Upper Mississippi Valley southwestward into parts of Nebraska and Kansas. ...Synopsis... Highly amplified upper flow will persist over the U.S. Day 2/Tuesday, with a ridge centered over the Mid-Atlantic region, and troughing entrenched over the West. A short-wave trough embedded in the broader-scale cyclonic flow is expected to shift out of the eastern Montana area and across the Dakotas through the period. This progression will be reflected at the surface as a surface cold front advances steadily eastward across the northern Plains, and more slowly southeastward across the Mid-Missouri Valley/Central Plains. Tuesday night, the front should cross the Upper Mississippi Valley and move into the western Upper Great Lakes region. ...Upper Mississippi Valley area southwestward to Kansas... Lingering/overnight convection may be ongoing over the start of the period in the vicinity of Minnesota, but should gradually diminish through the day. Meanwhile, a frontal wave is forecast to shift northeastward through the day from eastern South Dakota across northwestern Minnesota, along an advancing cold front. Daytime heating ahead of the front will drive afternoon destabilization, with 1000 to 2000 J/kg mixed-layer CAPE evolving along the front. This should support storm development from northern Minnesota southwestward to west-central Kansas in the 18/20Z to 18/22Z time frame. While stronger flow aloft will remain displaced to the cool side of the front, amply strong mid-level southwesterlies atop the frontal zone should support shear sufficient for multicell/some supercell organization. Resulting risks for hail/wind support continuation of SLGT risk across this region. Potential should maximize through late afternoon/early evening, before diminishing after dark. ..Goss.. 06/17/2024 Read more
