MD 1703 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 521... FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
Mesoscale Discussion 1703 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0543 PM CDT Thu Jul 17 2025 Areas affected...Portions of northern New England Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 521... Valid 172243Z - 180015Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 521 continues. SUMMARY...Strong/damaging winds will remain possible into perhaps mid evening. A brief tornado could occur in northeast Maine over the next 1-2 hours. DISCUSSION...The KCBW VAD data continues to show large low-level hodographs. Convection in northeast Maine has certainly trended more linear over the past few hours, but a few marginal supercells remain and have shown moderate low-level rotation periodically. These storms will pose a threat for damaging winds and a brief tornado for another 1-2 hours before moving into the Canadian Maritimes. Farther south and west, a line of weak convection has developed along the Vermont/New Hampshire border. With temperatures ahead of this line currently in the mid/upper 80s F (at least in New Hampshire), there is at least some potential for a strong/damaging wind gust to occur. Deep-layer shear has also increased in this area as the shortwave trough has approached late this afternoon. That being said, diurnal cooling will also increase with time. It is unclear how strong this activity will be as it approaches western Maine later this evening. ..Wendt.. 07/17/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
800 PM EDT Thu Jul 17 2025

For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of America:

Southeastern Louisiana (AL93):
Satellite, surface, and radar data indicate that the broad low
pressure area that had been moving westward along the northern Gulf
coast is now centered over southeastern Louisiana. This system is
forecast to move farther inland tonight and on Friday, and
development is therefore not expected. Nonetheless, heavy rainfall
could still produce localized flash flooding over portions of the
north-central Gulf Coast through Friday.

This will be the last update on this system from the National
Hurricane Center. For additional information on the ongoing
potential for heavy rainfall and flooding, please refer to products
issued by the Weather Prediction Center and your local National
Weather Service office.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...near 0 percent.

MD 1702 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR NORTHEAST NM INTO SOUTHEAST CO
Mesoscale Discussion 1702 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0504 PM CDT Thu Jul 17 2025 Areas affected...Northeast NM into southeast CO Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 172204Z - 180000Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Strong to locally severe storms are possible into early evening. DISCUSSION...Storms are gradually increasing in coverage and intensity late this afternoon from southeast CO into northeast NM. The strongest ongoing activity is occurring near the Sangre de Cristo Range, but some tendency for storm coverage to increase into the lower elevations is expected with time. MLCAPE of up to 1500-2000 J/kg will continue to support occasionally robust convection into the early evening. While deep-layer flow is rather weak, low-level flow is backed across parts of southeast CO into northeast NM, to the north of a quasi-stationary surface front. Weakly veering wind profiles and effective shear of 25-30 kt may support occasionally organized storm structures, and some clustering of storms is possible with time. While midlevel temperatures are rather warm, isolated hail cannot be ruled out with the strongest updrafts into early evening. Strong to locally severe gusts will also be possible, especially if any storm clustering and outflow consolidation occurs with time. ..Dean/Hart.. 07/17/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Gov. Spencer Cox urged Utahns to “please, please, please be vigilant” while recreating on public lands across the state as drought conditions worsened amid an already busy wildfire season. This year was shaping up to be the state’s most active wildfire season in five years as 574 wildfires blackened more than 83,000 acres through the morning of Thursday, July 17.

MD 1701 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL MONTANA
Mesoscale Discussion 1701 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0348 PM CDT Thu Jul 17 2025 Areas affected...portions of northern and central Montana Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 172048Z - 172245Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon and evening. A few supercells capable of hail and damaging winds are expected. A WW is possible, although it is uncertain when the severe risk will maximize. DISCUSSION...Afternoon visible and radar imagery show initial thunderstorm development is underway across far northern MT and southern Canada. Aided by synoptic ascent from a shortwave trough within northwesterly flow and heating along a stalled frontal boundary, continued convective development is expected over the next several hours. Modest moisture and somewhat cool surface temperatures have limited boundary-layer destabilization so far this afternoon. Still, with little inhibition, weak MLCAPE (500-700 J/kg) will be sufficient for stronger updrafts. Additional destabilization is expected as low-level warm advection along the boundary increases into this evening. Elongated hodographs owing to enhanced northwesterly flow aloft observed from the 18z TFX RAOB and area VADs will support a supercell storm mode capable of hail and isolated damaging gusts. Despite weaker buoyancy, continued ascent along the stalled front will likely serve as a focus for storm intensification over the next couple of hours. This is supported by recent CAM guidance which shows a few longer-lived supercells into this evening. The exact timing of the severe risk remains unclear as destabilization continues and storms may take some time to mature. However, at least an isolated severe risk should gradually increase over the next few hours. Given the broadly favorable environment for large hail and severe gusts, a WW may be needed. ..Lyons/Smith.. 07/17/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1700 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 521... FOR PORTIONS OF VT...NH...AND ME
Mesoscale Discussion 1700 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0340 PM CDT Thu Jul 17 2025 Areas affected...Portions of VT...NH...and ME Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 521... Valid 172040Z - 172245Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 521 continues. SUMMARY...Threat for damaging gusts and/or a brief tornado or two continues across portions of VT, NH, and ME. DISCUSSION...Early afternoon soundings (i.e. 18Z) at CAR and GYX sampled a moist and unstable airmass across the region, with little to no convective inhibition. The CAR sounding also sampled moderate vertical shear (i.e. 0-6 km bulk shear of 43 kt), while notably weaker deep-layer shear (i.e. 0-6 km bulk shear of 25 kt) was sampled farther south at GYX. This variance in shear matches previous expectations and continues to place the greatest severe risk across northern ME. An initially more cellular mode has trended towards a more cell-in-line mode over the last hour or so. Even so, the environmental conditions favor a continued threat for strong to severe storms. Strong downbursts remain the greatest risk, particularly as mid-level flow gradually strengthens. There is enough low-level shear (i.e. 0-1 km 15 to 20 kt) to support a brief tornado as well. ..Mosier.. 07/17/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
