URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 258 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1255 PM EDT Sun May 19 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Southeast Florida Coastal Waters * Effective this Sunday afternoon and evening from 1255 PM until 700 PM EDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are developing along a cold front over central Florida. Other storms will focus along the sea-breeze this afternoon. A few of the storms will pose a risk of large hail and gusty/damaging winds. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 25 statute miles east and west of a line from 5 miles northwest of Vero Beach FL to 15 miles southeast of Miami FL. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes. && AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 29025. ...Hart Read more

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0445 PM CDT Sun May 19 2024 Valid 211200Z - 271200Z A prolonged period of warm, dry, and breezy conditions is expected across much of the Southwest into the southern High Plains during the extended forecast period. As a result, elevated to locally critical fire-weather conditions are expected each afternoon, given increasingly receptive fuels across the region. ...Southwest into the southern High Plains... A broad large-scale trough will be maintained across the western CONUS through the extended forecast period, with the strongest midlevel flow generally confined to the Northwest U.S. until around Day 7/Saturday. Along the southern periphery of the large-scale trough, moderate west-southwesterly midlevel flow will persist across the Southwest into the southern High Plains -- where a dry/deeply mixed boundary layer will develop each afternoon. As a result, dry/breezy conditions will favor elevated to locally critical conditions each afternoon, given increasingly receptive fuels across the region. However, a lack of any identifiable large-scale features embedded in the low-latitude west-southwesterlies, and a related modest surface pressure gradient, limits confidence in any more than locally critical conditions each day -- precluding 70-percent probabilities at this time. By Days 7-8/Saturday-Sunday, medium-range guidance depicts a series of southern-stream shortwave troughs crossing the Southwest and southern High Plains. This may promote higher potential for more than locally critical conditions, though the details are unclear at this time. ..Weinman.. 05/19/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
