After ample rainfall across parts of Florida, counties were rescinding burn bans.
The Glades County Commissioners issued a burn ban this week after determining emergency conditions including extreme drought and related weather concerns existed. Glades County is one of ten other counties with a burn ban in effect, including Brevard, Charlotte, Collier, Desoto, Hendry, Highlands, Indian River, Polk, Sarasota and Seminole counties.

MD 1313 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR NORTHERN NE PANHANDLE INTO WESTERN/CENTRAL SD AND SOUTHERN/CENTRAL ND
Mesoscale Discussion 1313
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0919 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024
Areas affected...Northern NE Panhandle into western/central SD and
southern/central ND
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 180219Z - 180415Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...The threat for strong to severe storms may increase with
time tonight.
DISCUSSION...A warm front is draped across northern NE into
southeast SD this evening, with some elevated convection gradually
increasing over southwest SD into extreme eastern WY, and also much
farther north into western ND. An approaching mid/upper-level
shortwave trough and strong southerly low-level jet will support an
increase in elevated convection north of the front with time
tonight. Very steep midlevel lapse rates (as noted on the 00Z LBF
and UNR soundings), moderate to strong elevated buoyancy, and
effective shear of 50+ kt will support organized convection. There
will be some potential for elevated supercells with an attendant
hail threat, though a tendency toward more of a cluster or linear
mode with time could temper hail potential to some extent. Localized
strong/severe gusts will also be possible, especially if organized
upscale growth occurs. Watch issuance is possible over parts of the
area later this evening in response to these threats.

MD 1312 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 429... FOR WEST-CENTRAL WISCONSIN
Mesoscale Discussion 1312
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0829 PM CDT Mon Jun 17 2024
Areas affected...west-central Wisconsin
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 429...
Valid 180129Z - 180230Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 429
continues.
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms capable of instances of strong to severe
wind will continue eastward this evening.
DISCUSSION...A line of thunderstorms ongoing from central WI into
far southeastern MN and northeastern IA will continue to pose some
risk of strong to severe wind. Confidence in downstream risk beyond
WW429 remains uncertain. The downstream environment is moist and
unstable, with dewpoints in the mid 70s and MLCAPE around 2000 J/kg.
Should storms be able to develop a strong cold pool and become
better organized within this regime, the risk for damaging wind may
continue past WW429. Thus far, this line has remained sub-severe,
with strongest reflectivity located mostly well behind its own
outflow, but trends will be monitored. A downstream watch is
unlikely at this time.
