SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1105 AM CDT Thu Aug 08 2024 Valid 081630Z - 091200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT OVER PORTIONS OF NORTH CAROLINA AND THE MID ATLANTIC REGION... ...SUMMARY... Isolated tornadoes are possible today and tonight over portions of the Mid Atlantic region. Strong thunderstorm wind gusts may affect portions of Utah and Arizona. ...Mid Atlantic... The center of circulation of TS Debby will lift northward today and tonight across central NC/VA, with the zone of strongest low level winds/shear just to the northeast of the low. A consensus of 12z CAM solutions suggest the main threat of semi-discrete convection and a few tornadoes this afternoon and evening will be across north-central NC and south-central VA. This threat will build northward into parts of northern VA and the Eastern WV Panhandle after dark, and eventually into central PA by Friday morning. Please refer to MCD #1866 for further short-term details. ...UT/AZ... Pockets of strong heating, ample mid-level moisture, and a remnant MCV tracking westward across northern AZ will help to promote thunderstorms capable of locally damaging wind gusts this afternoon from western UT into northwest AZ. Morning surface analysis shows a very moist boundary-layer in place across central and southeast AZ, with dewpoints in the upper 60s and full sunshine expected. This, combined with 12z CAM solutions of active afternoon thunderstorms, has prompted an expansion of the MRGL risk into that region. ..Hart/Lyons.. 08/08/2024 Read more

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1107 AM CDT Thu Aug 08 2024 Valid 081700Z - 091200Z The notable changes on this update are to expand the Isolated Dry Thunder area into Nevada and to add an Isolated Dry Thunder area in portions of northeast Washington. Both of these changes reflect greater confidence in lightning occurrence in an environment with dry fuels and precipitable water values between 0.5-0.75 inches. Otherwise, see the previous discussion for more details. ..Supinie.. 08/08/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0112 AM CDT Thu Aug 08 2024/ ...Synopsis... As a trough moving across the northern Rockies into the northern Plains suppresses the western US ridge today, flow aloft will shift to become more northwesterly with monsoonal moisture shifting southward. Isolated dry thunderstorm chances will be possible along the fringes of the deeper monsoonal moisture across southern/central Utah into western Colorado and western Wyoming. In these regions, precipitable water values around 0.50-0.75 inch and mainly mid-level moisture will result in high-based convection, with potential for new ignitions amid receptive fuels, and little precipitation. Gusty and erratic winds will be possible near thunderstorms. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

WW 613 TORNADO NC VA CW 080645Z - 081700Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 613 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 245 AM EDT Thu Aug 8 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Eastern North Carolina Southeastern Virginia Coastal Waters * Effective this Thursday morning and afternoon from 245 AM until 100 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes possible SUMMARY...The tornado threat with T.S. Debby is expected to gradually expand northward and somewhat westward through midday, while lingering for several more hours (potentially past original Tornado Watch 612 expiration) in NC coastal areas formerly covered by that watch. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 85 statute miles either side of a line from 30 miles south southwest of Goldsboro NC to 35 miles east northeast of Elizabeth City NC. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and 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. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...This tornado watch replaces tornado watch number 612. Watch number 612 will not be in effect after 245 AM EDT. AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 0 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 450. Mean storm motion vector 14035. ...Edwards Read more
