Tropical Storm Mario Discussion Number 12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132025
Issued by the NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
800 AM MST Mon Sep 15 2025
Satellite images show that Mario has changed little since the
previous advisory, though recently the deep convection has been
bursting near the center. Subjective Dvorak intensity estimates
remain near 45 kt, with objective estimates from UW-CIMSS generally
a little higher. Thus, the current intensity will remain 50 kt for
this advisory.
Mario is moving west-northwestward, or 300 degrees, at 10 kt. A
gradual turn toward the northwest is expected during the next couple
of days while the cyclone moves between a mid-level ridge over
northern Mexico and a mid-level low to its northwest. The biggest
question is what happens to the remnants of Mario in a few days,
with the models in poor agreement on whether it turns more to the
north, like the GFS, or towards the west, like the HWRF or GDMI.
For now, the official forecast will stay closer to the westernmost
model cluster and assume the weak cyclone doesn't feel stronger
mid-level southerly flow. The new forecast is a touch to the
right of the previous one.
The storm has a limited window for any strengthening within light
shear conditions and warm waters. However, there are plenty of
stable stratocumulus clouds on satellite just northwest of the
circulation, suggesting it doesn't have much time left for
intensification. By Tuesday, Mario should begin to weaken as it
crosses over much cooler waters with higher shear. Mario should
lose all deep convection after 36h and become a remnant low by 48h.
The new NHC forecast prediction is slightly decreased from the last
one and ends up pretty close to the model consensus.

Hydro dams in Maine, Vermont, and New Hampshire were struggling to generate power due to drought. Average daily hydropower generation went from more than 23,000 megawatt hours in June to about half that in August, according to ISO-New England records. When hydropower production is down, power must come from other sources to compensate. In New England, natural gas is often the first option for generating additional power, per the operations manager for FirstLight.

Day 1 Convective Outlook

0742 AM CDT Mon Sep 15 2025
Valid 151300Z - 161200Z
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM WYOMING
INTO WESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA...OVER FAR NORTHERN MINNESOTA...AND
NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated severe gusts are possible across Wyoming into western South
Dakota this afternoon to early evening. Isolated severe hail and
damaging wind are possible across far northern Minnesota in the
early to mid-afternoon. A brief tornado is possible in the northeast
North Carolina vicinity in the early morning Tuesday.
...WY to western SD...
A shortwave trough over western ID will move east across WY/western
SD during the day, as several embedded vorticity maxima contribute
regions of enhanced ascent. Steep mid-level lapse rates of 8-9 deg
C/km, combined with diurnal heating, will result in MLCAPE of a few
hundred J/kg across much of the area. Despite weak buoyancy, the
favorably-timed ascent will contribute to thunderstorm
development/intensification this afternoon as storms approach
northeast WY/western SD. A deep and well-mixed boundary layer will
lead to high-based convection capable of isolated strong/damaging
gusts through early evening, with intensities diminishing thereafter
as nocturnal cooling commences.
...Northeast NC/southeast VA vicinity...
A surface low southeast of Cape Hatteras is forecast to move towards
the NC coast through 12z Tuesday, with a belt of stronger low-level
flow developing north/northwest of the low. Variability remains
regarding the forecast location of the low and strength of low-level
winds, however a conditional risk for a tornado would exist early
Tuesday morning with stronger convective elements, should sufficient
low-level hodograph curvature develop, as high theta-e air is
advected west across the northeast NC/southeast VA vicinity.
...Far northern MN...
Thunderstorm development is expected this afternoon within a
northwest-southeast oriented arc from southeast Manitoba across
northeast Ontario as a shortwave trough becomes increasingly
negatively tilted while lifting northeast. Although development
south of the international border is uncertain, some CAM guidance
suggest isolated development is possible. Moderate buoyancy and
effective shear of 35-40 kts over far northern MN suggests a
conditional risk for severe wind/hail would exist should storm
development occur in this area.
...MO/AR vicinity...
A few strong gusts will be possible again today with pulse-type
storms within a weakly-sheared but strongly unstable (MLCAPE of
2500-3000 J/kg) environment.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 AM 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 south-southwest of the
southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula.
Off the Coast of Southwestern Mexico:
An elongated trough of low pressure located several hundred miles
off the coast of southern Mexico is producing disorganized showers
and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for
gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could
form by 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...low...20 percent.
*Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.

Public Advisories on Tropical Storm Mario are issued under WMO

Tropical Storm Mario Discussion Number 11
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP132025
200 AM MST Mon Sep 15 2025
The satellite presentation of Mario has improved since the previous
advisory, with a burst of deep convection and very cold cloud tops
persisting over the low-level center. Upper-level outflow appears
well established in all quadrants, and more defined curved banding
is developing on the northern side of the convective burst.
Subjective Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB were 3.0/45 kt and
2.5/35 kt, respectively, while objective estimates from UW-CIMSS
have ranged from 40 to 60 kt and have been trending upward. A blend
of these data, along with the improved satellite appearance,
supports raising the initial intensity to 50 kt for this advisory.
Mario is moving west-northwestward, or 295 degrees, at 10 kt. A
gradual turn toward the northwest is expected during the next couple
of days as the cyclone moves between a mid-level ridge over northern
Mexico and a mid-level low to its northwest. Forward speed should
decrease after 48 h as Mario weakens and becomes more influenced by
the low-level flow. The forecast track is close to the previous one
through 24 h, then shifts slightly eastward thereafter to better
match the consensus guidance. The track is closest to the GDMI aid,
which lies between the consensus and the prior forecast.
Mario will remain in a moist, low-shear environment over warm waters
for the next 12 h, which should allow for some additional
strengthening. Thereafter, the cyclone will move near the 26C
isotherm and encounter increasing west-southwesterly vertical wind
shear, initiating a weakening trend. Steady weakening is then
expected as Mario moves over cooler waters and into stronger shear.
The cyclone is forecast to degenerate into a remnant low by 48 h,
with dissipation likely by 96 h. The official intensity forecast is
near the upper end of the guidance through 24 h, then trends toward
the consensus thereafter.

Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0306 AM CDT Mon Sep 15 2025
Valid 181200Z - 231200Z
...DISCUSSION...
An upper low/shortwave trough will persist over the north-central
U.S. for much of the period. This system is not forecast to deepen,
resulting in little surface cyclogenesis, with mainly weak surface
troughing persisting over the Plains. Southerly low-level flow will
maintain a seasonally moist airmass, and periods of showers and
thunderstorms are expected each day across parts of the Plains to
the MS Valley. Modest vertical shear and airmass modification from
daily rounds of convection will likely limit overall severe
potential.
Medium range guidance suggests by late in the period, around Day
8/Mon, a stronger surface cold front may sweep across portions of
the Plains as a deepening, more progressive upper trough moves from
the Rockies into the Plains.
