Issued at 800 PM MST Thu Aug 01 2024 000 WTPZ33 KNHC 020245 TCPEP3 BULLETIN Tropical Storm Carlotta Advisory Number 7 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032024 800 PM MST Thu Aug 01 2024 ...CARLOTTA HOLDING STEADY AND MOVING WEST-NORTHWESTWARD... SUMMARY OF 800 PM MST...0300 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...17.9N 112.8W ABOUT 395 MI...630 KM SSW OF THE SOUTHERN TIP OF BAJA CALIFORNIA MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...65 MPH...100 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...WNW OR 285 DEGREES AT 12 MPH...19 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...993 MB...29.33 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 800 PM MST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Carlotta was located near latitude 17.9 North, longitude 112.8 West. Carlotta is moving toward the west-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h). This motion is expected to continue through tonight, followed by a turn toward the west on Friday and a continued westward motion through the weekend. Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days, and Carlotta is expected to become a hurricane either tonight or tomorrow. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 993 mb (29.33 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- SURF: Swells generated by Carlotta will affect the coasts of west-central mainland Mexico and the southern Baja California peninsula beginning soon. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions through the weekend. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 200 AM MST. $$ Forecaster Bucci

MD 1792 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 589... FOR EASTERN KY/TN INTO WESTERN VA AND EXTREME SOUTHWEST WV
Mesoscale Discussion 1792 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0801 PM CDT Thu Aug 01 2024 Areas affected...Eastern KY/TN into western VA and extreme southwest WV Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 589... Valid 020101Z - 020230Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 589 continues. SUMMARY...Some threat for damaging wind will continue eastward through the evening. DISCUSSION...While the northern portion of the long-lived MCS moving across KY has weakened, some intensification has been noted along the southern portion of the gust front, as the attendant cold pool has overtaken a preceding band of convection that developed from northeast TN into southeast KY. This portion of the MCS produced a 49 kt gust near London, KY, and will pose the greatest relative threat for damaging wind. A gradual weakening trend is expected later tonight, as MLCINH begins to increase and downstream buoyancy decreases, but in the short term, warm/moist conditions and MLCAPE of greater than 1500 J/kg will support at least isolated damaging-wind potential through much of the evening. ..Dean.. 08/02/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 75 statute miles east and west of a line from 5 miles east northeast of Huntington WV to 35 miles south southeast of London KY. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU9). 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.

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0800 PM CDT Thu Aug 01 2024 Valid 020100Z - 021200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms associated with isolated severe wind gusts and hail will be possible this evening across parts of the southern High Plains, Ohio Valley, southern Appalachians, and western Great Lakes. ...Ohio Valley/Southern Appalachians... Water vapor imagery currently shows a shortwave trough over the north-central U.S., with another weaker shortwave trough over the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys. Scattered thunderstorms are ongoing ahead of the lead shortwave trough from Ohio into parts of Kentucky. Ahead of the storms, the RAP is analyzing a narrow corridor of moderate instability, where MLCAPE is estimated to be in the 1500 to 2500 J/kg range. In addition, the WSR-88D VWPs near Wilmington, Ohio and Morristown, Tennessee have 0-6 km shear around 25 knots, suggesting that isolated severe wind gusts will be possible with any multicells that can become organized. The severe threat is expected to persist for a couple more hours, as the convection moves into the southern Appalachians. ...Southern High Plains... At the surface, a weak front is located from the northern Texas Panhandle eastward across northern Oklahoma. Low-level moisture is greatest to the north of the front, where surface dewpoints are in the 60s F. This is contributing to an east-to-west axis moderate instability to the north of the front, with the RAP estimating MLCAPE in the 2500 to 3500 J/kg range. Small clusters of strong storms are ongoing on either side of the boundary, from the northern Texas Panhandle into southeastern Colorado. WSR-88D VWPs in the southern High Plains have 0-6 km shear in the 25 to 30 knot range. In addition, the Amarillo 00Z observed sounding has an 850 to 500 mb lapse rate of 8.5 C/km. This environment could support isolated severe wind gusts with the stronger multicells for a few more hours this evening. ...Western Great Lakes... An upper-level low, associated with a shortwave trough, is currently analyzed across far southwest Wisconsin. Scattered thunderstorms are ongoing to the east of the low over eastern Wisconsin. The storms are located along the northern edge of a corridor of moderate instability, where the RAP has MLCAPE in the 1500 to 2500 J/kg range. Although forecast soundings have weak lapse rates in this area, 0-6 km shear is in the 20 to 25 knot range, according to regional WSR-88D VWPs. This suggests that a marginal severe threat will be possible this evening. A few strong wind gusts and hail will be possible. ..Broyles.. 08/02/2024 Read more

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 PM PDT Thu Aug 1 2024

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Carlotta, located several hundred miles west of Manzanillo,
Mexico.

Western East Pacific (EP95):
An area of low pressure located more than a thousand miles to the
west-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula
continues to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
Environmental conditions appear marginal for development of this
system during the next couple of days while it drifts slowly
westward. By this weekend, environmental conditions are forecast to
become increasingly unfavorable, and further development is not
expected.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

South of Central America and Southern Mexico:
A trough of low pressure located a few hundred miles to the south of
Central America is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
An area of low pressure is expected to form from this system during
the next day or so, and thereafter environmental conditions appear
conducive for additional development. A tropical depression is
likely to form by late this weekend or early next week while the
system moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph,
remaining well offshore of the coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.
