SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0205 AM CDT Tue Sep 16 2025 Valid 171200Z - 181200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Surface high pressure will remain in place over much of the central and northern Rockies due to a stationary mid-level trough over the northern High Plains tomorrow (Wednesday). This synoptic pattern will once again promote mainly quiescent fire weather conditions over much of the Interior west. A dry low-level airmass will also linger over portions of the Ohio Valley, atop drying fuels. However, the lack of stronger surface winds suggests that Elevated highlights are not currently warranted. ..Squitieri.. 09/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0204 AM CDT Tue Sep 16 2025 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough will impinge on the Pacific Northwest Coastline as another upper trough farther to the east begins to overspread the northern Plains today. Surface high pressure will become established over the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies, promoting quiescent fire weather conditions. Offshore flow is expected across the Pacific Northwest, especially along the windward side of the Cascades. While locally dry and breezy conditions may occur, the sparse nature of such conditions over modestly receptive fuels precludes fire weather highlights. ..Squitieri.. 09/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1242 AM CDT Tue Sep 16 2025 Valid 171200Z - 181200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorm potential is expected to remain limited on Wednesday. ...Central/Southern High Plains Vicinity... An upper trough will overspread the northern Plains to the southern High Plains. With time, an upper low is forecast to develop within the broader troughing regime over the northern High Plains vicinity. Deep-layer flow will generally be weak, limiting vertical shear. However, a surface front is forecast to be oriented from far southeast CO/northeast NM eastward along the KS/OK border. East/southeasterly low-level flow near the boundary could enhanced vertical shear locally, with effective shear values up to 25-30 kt possible by late afternoon/evening. Boundary layer moisture will be modest, in the 50s to low 60s F from the Raton Mesa vicinity into southwest KS and the OK/TX Panhandles. Nevertheless, steep midlevel lapse rates and cool temperatures aloft will support MLCAPE of 1000-2000 J/kg. Isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop by late afternoon in the upslope flow regime. The strongest storms could produce sub-severe hail and gusty winds across southeast CO/northeast NM, southwest KS and portions of the OK/TX Panhandles. ...Northern OK into MN/WI... A seasonally moist airmass will be in place to the east of a surface boundary extending from eastern SD into central/southwest KS by late afternoon. Rounds of showers and thunderstorms are possible, and may be ongoing across parts of the region Wednesday morning. This activity and associated cloud cover cast doubt on where stronger destabilization will occur through peak heating. Furthermore, vertical shear is expected to remain weak, and lapse rates will be poor, especially with northward extent. A strong storm or two will be possible where stronger destabilization occurs, but overall severe potential is expected to remain limited. ..Leitman.. 09/16/2025 Read more

SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1248 AM CDT Tue Sep 16 2025 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN PARTS OF NE/CO/KS... ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon into early evening across a portion of the central Great Plains. Large hail, severe gusts, and a tornado or two may occur. ...NE/KS/CO... An elongated, positive-tilt shortwave trough will effectively drift eastward, pivoting across WY, as multiple embedded impulses rotate through it during the period. A confined belt of moderate flow should be centered from the eastern Great Basin to western SD this afternoon. Much of this will lag to the west of the large buoyancy plume from the NE/KS/CO border area northeast to the Upper Midwest. Isolated elevated storms may increase/intensify towards midday across the NE Panhandle. Scattered to eventually widespread surface-based storms are expected through the afternoon, both along the diurnally sharpening front and in the post-frontal environment emanating off the CO Rockies/Front Range. Rather steep mid-level lapse rates will be supportive of large hail. But the modest deep-layer shear along the front and early upscale growth to linear clusters should modulate hail magnitudes. Linear clustering appears most probable over southwest NE, which should support a short-duration uptick in severe wind potential. While most guidance indicates a strengthening low-level jet into early/mid evening, the lack of stronger mid/upper-level winds should foster a waning severe threat after dusk. ...Eastern SD to northeast MN... Mid-level flow will be weak across most of the Upper Midwest, except across northeast MN. This area will remain on the peripheral influence of multiple shortwave impulses over south-central Canada. Low-level convergence should be weak until early evening, with convective coverage appearing isolated northeast of eastern SD. Still, the lobe of steep lapse rates emanating northeast from the central High Plains will support a swath of moderate to large MLCAPE. Any sustained storms along the weak front should pose an isolated threat for severe hail and damaging winds. ...VA Tidewater and far northeast NC... A weak cyclone east of the Outer Banks is progged to drift northwestward towards the NC/VA border area by this afternoon. Low-level flow enhancement to its northwest will promote potential for strong to marginally severe gusts with any sustained convection near the cyclone core. However, the airmass over land should remain thermodynamically limited. Surface winds shifting from the north to northeast will be necessary for the advection of near-70 F surface dew points, supportive of meager surface-based instability. This may only glance the coast later this morning into early afternoon before low-level wind fields subside and the severe risk becomes negligible. ..Grams/Squitieri.. 09/16/2025 Read more

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 PM PDT Mon Sep 15 2025

For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Mario, located a few hundred miles west-southwest of the
southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula.

Off the Coast of Southwestern Mexico:
An trough of low pressure located several hundred miles off the
coast of southern Mexico continues to produce a broad area of
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions
appear conducive for additional development of this system, and a
tropical depression is likely to form during the middle to latter
part of this week as it moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph
over the central east Pacific.
*Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
*Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

Tropical Storm Mario Forecast Discussion Number 14

4 days 21 hours ago
Issued at 800 PM PDT Mon Sep 15 2025 261 WTPZ43 KNHC 160234 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Mario Discussion Number 14 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132025 800 PM PDT Mon Sep 15 2025 After its strengthening episode earlier today, Mario has begun a weakening trend. There has been a dramatic decrease in the coverage and intensity of the associated deep convection, making Dvorak classifications problematic. The lastest subjective and objective intensity estimates vary substantially, and the advisory intensity is set at a rather uncertain 50 kt. Given the decrease in convection, this may be a generous estimate. Hopefully an upcoming scatterometer pass will provide more information on the strength of the cyclone. There is a fair amount of scatter in the center fixes, and my best estimate for initial motion is 310/11 kt. Mario should continue to move along the western periphery of a mid-level high pressure system centered over northern Mexico for the next couple of days. The official track forecast is just slightly to the right of the previous one and close to the latest corrected consensus model, HCCA, guidance. Mario will be traversing progressively cooler waters for the next couple of days, with the SSTs below the system dropping below 24 deg C by late tomorrow. Moreover, increasingly strong southwesterly vertical wind shear is expected to affect the system for the next 48 hours. The official forecast calls for the system to degenerate into a remnant low in 36 hours, however if the current trend in deep convection persists, this could occur sooner than that.
