Tropical Storm Mario Forecast Discussion Number 12

5 days 7 hours ago
Issued at 800 AM MST Mon Sep 15 2025 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 151435 TCDEP3 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.

Reduced hydropower production in northern New England

5 days 9 hours ago
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. Maine Public (Bangor, Maine), Sep 15, 2025

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. ..Bunting/Broyles.. 09/15/2025 Read more

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
header WTPZ33 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCPEP3.

Tropical Storm Mario Forecast Discussion Number 11

5 days 13 hours ago
Issued at 200 AM MST Mon Sep 15 2025 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 150845 TCDEP3 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.

SPC Sep 15, 2025 Day 4-8 Severe Weather Outlook

5 days 14 hours ago
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.
