Watch number 614 will not be in effect after 635 PM EDT. AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 0.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 50 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 17035. ...Thompson Read more

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0424 PM CDT Thu Aug 08 2024 Valid 101200Z - 161200Z A mid-level longwave trough is expected to amplify over the northwestern CONUS through the period. Various shortwave troughs around the periphery of this longwave trough may provide a focus for fire weather concerns over the weekend through early next week. ...D3/Saturday... A shortwave trough traversing the flow on Saturday may provide lift for thunderstorm activity across parts of the northern Rockies with precipitable water in the 0.5-0.75 inch range. Fuels in this region have received relatively little rain recently, and so should be receptive to new ignitions. Therefore, a 10% Isolated Dry Thunder area was added here to reflect the dry lightning risk. Farther west across portions of southern Idaho and northeastern Nevada, a 40% Critical highlight has been maintained with low RH and a corridor of strong surface winds. ...D4/Sunday through D6/Tuesday... Another shortwave trough embedded in the flow may provide corridors for strong winds in the presence of generally low RH and receptive fuels across much of the Great Basin region Sunday through Tuesday. The highest confidence for this is on D5/Monday, and a 40% Critical highlight has been maintained across portions of eastern Nevada to reflect this. Additional highlights may need to be introduced for Sunday and/or Tuesday in subsequent outlooks if confidence in Elevated or Critical fire conditions increases. ..Supinie.. 08/08/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

WW 614 TORNADO NC VA CW 081645Z - 090000Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 614 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1245 PM EDT Thu Aug 8 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Central and Eastern North Carolina Central and Southeast Virginia Coastal Waters * Effective this Thursday afternoon and evening from 1245 PM until 800 PM EDT. * Primary threats include...

MD 1867 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 614... FOR EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA INTO SOUTHEASTERN VIRGINIA
Mesoscale Discussion 1867 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0212 PM CDT Thu Aug 08 2024 Areas affected...eastern North Carolina into southeastern Virginia Concerning...Tornado Watch 614... Valid 081912Z - 082115Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 614 continues. SUMMARY...Brief tornado risk continues across portions of Tornado Watch 614. DISCUSSION...Recent radar loop shows little movement of the center of Tropical Storm Debby (still in the vicinity of the North Carolina/South Carolina border southeast of Charlotte, NC), while individual cells in convective bands within the northeastern quadrant of the storm having become a bit stronger in general over the past couple of hours. This intensification is likely related to modest heating through some cloud breaks, that has allowed weak destabilization/small increases in mixed-layer CAPE to occur. In tandem with this cellular increase, and given the favorable background low-level flow field, an uptick in coverage of storms exhibiting low-level rotation has been observed overall. The most active area in terms of low-level circulations has been in the vicinity of the northeastern North Carolina/southeastern Virginia border region, where rotating cells continue moving northwestward, along with occasional radar hints of potential/brief tornadoes. Overall, expect the situation to remain generally steady-state, with continued risk for brief tornadoes likely to persist over the next several hours. ..Goss.. 08/08/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1868 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHERN UTAH INTO WESTERN AND CENTRAL ARIZONA
Mesoscale Discussion 1868 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0221 PM CDT Thu Aug 08 2024 Areas affected...Southern Utah into western and central Arizona Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 081921Z - 082115Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Scattered high-based thunderstorms are likely near the higher terrain and ahead of a weak MCV this afternoon/evening. Isolated damaging gusts are possible. Limited storm organization suggests a WW is not expected. DISCUSSION...As of 1915 UTC, regional visible and radar imagery showed initial thunderstorm development was ongoing over the higher terrain of southern UT and across central AZ. Linked to robust monsoonal moisture return and an MCV beneath an expansive western US ridge, additional storm development is likely through the afternoon hours. As remaining inhibition weakens, 500-1000 J/kg of MUCAPE will support scattered high-based thunderstorms across the higher terrain of southern UT and ahead of a weak MCV over central AZ. PWATs of 0.7-1 inch and relatively deep inverted-V profiles from area model soundings will favor strong downdrafts with some potential for damaging outflow winds as storms become established. However, area VADs show flow aloft is quite limited (generally less than 20 kt) beneath the ridge. Given the limited shear, a relatively disorganized multi-cell storm mode is expected to limit the severe risk. Given the limited organization potential a WW is unlikely at this time. ..Lyons/Hart.. 08/08/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...TWC...FGZ...SLC...PSR...VEF...

Some trees in the Lexington area were already turning from green to yellow. LEX 18 (Lexington, Ky.), Aug 2, 2024

Issued at 200 PM PDT Thu Aug 08 2024 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 082039 TCDEP5 Tropical Storm Emilia Discussion Number 18 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP052024 200 PM PDT Thu Aug 08 2024 Emilia appears to be in its final stage as a tropical cyclone. Deep convection is limited to a few small clusters over the western semicircle as the system is being influenced by some easterly vertical wind shear. The intensity is held at 35 kt for this advisory in general agreement with objective estimates from UW-CIMSS, although this could be generous. Visible imagery indicates that the center appears to be located somewhat to the east of previous estimates. After some adjustments, the initial motion estimate is a little slower, or 290/12 kt. A mid-level ridge is expected to be maintained to the north of Emilia for the next few days. Based on this steering pattern, the cyclone should continue its generally west-northwestward heading for the next day or two followed by a more westward to west-southwestward movement within the shallow low-level flow. The NHC forecast track is close to the multi-model consensus guidance TVCE. Over the next day or two, the cyclone will be moving over SSTs cooler than 23 deg C in an environment of relatively dry air. This should cause the system to degenerate into a remnant low very soon as shown by the official intensity forecast.
