SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0751 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 Valid 150100Z - 151200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST TEXAS TO NORTHEAST ARKANSAS... ...SUMMARY... Large damaging hail, wind gusts, and a few tornadoes remain a threat from far northeast Texas to the Ohio Valley. ...01z Update... An elongated corridor of strong/severe convection continues this evening from northeast TX/AR into the OH Valley. Negligible height changes are expected along this corridor the rest of the period; although, several weak transient short-wave troughs will affect this region through 12z. One noteworthy short wave has encouraged a significant MCS over southeast MO/southern IL. An MCV may be evolving near STL which will track across southern IL into the OH Valley later tonight. Radar trends exhibit a narrow swath of scattered supercells extending downstream ahead of the larger MCS across central IN into central OH. This activity has longevity and will likely spread a bit farther east than earlier indicated. Given these trends, will extend severe probs across eastern OH into western PA to account for these supercells maintaining intensity into an otherwise weaker instability regime. Much stronger instability resides across central TX into central AR early this evening. Numerous supercells have evolved from the north central TX, across southeast OK into central AR. Most of these storms are producing large hail, some in excess of 2" in diameter. 00z sounding from LZK exhibits SBCAPE around 2500 J/kg with substantial deep-layer shear and adequate 0-3km SRH. In addition to large hail, tornadoes remain a risk with these organized supercells. ..Darrow.. 03/15/2024 Read more

MD 0242 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN AND EASTERN OHIO INTO NORTHWESTERN WEST VIRGINIA

Additional organized storms will eventually reach the upper Ohio Valley later this evening. The need for a watch is quite uncertain in the short term, but convective trends will be monitored. DISCUSSION...Storms have attempted to initiate in southwestern Ohio into northern Kentucky. While it is not clear whether this activity will mature, regional VAD profiles suggest that these storms would be capable of large hail and tornadoes. Later in the evening, storms currently in southern Illinois into central Indiana will likely reach the upper Ohio Valley. An airmass supportive of severe storms continues to try and work eastward. There is at least some possibility that an organized line will reach these areas and require a downstream watch. However, uncertainty remains too high to issue one at this time. Convective trends will continue to be monitored. ..Wendt/Hart.. 03/14/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...PBZ...RLX...CLE...ILN...

Valid 142356Z - 150100Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 44 continues. SUMMARY...An area of greater tornado potential is evident from southeast Indiana into southwestern Ohio over the next 1-3 hours. DISCUSSION...Three supercells from just east of Indianapolis to northwest of Columbus, OH have shown a rightward turn to the southeast. Surface flow remains backed in southwestern portions of Ohio. Considering the observed storm motion and regional VAD profiles, an area of greater tornado threat is evident from southeastern Indiana into southwestern Ohio. 850 mb winds are expected to increase this evening as well.

MD 0241 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 43...45... FOR SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...ARKANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0241 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0531 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 Areas affected...Southeast Missouri...Arkansas Concerning...Tornado Watch 43...45... Valid 142231Z - 150030Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 43, 45 continues. SUMMARY...A severe threat will continue across southeast Missouri and Arkansas. Wind damage, large hail and an isolated tornado threat is expected over the next few hours. DISCUSSION...The latest high-resolution radar from Springfield, Missouri shows a well-developed line segment extending southward across south-central Missouri and north-central Arkansas. An intense bowing segment is located at the northern end of the line across Dent, Shannon, and Howell Counties. This feature will move eastward across southeastern Missouri over the next hour. The forward speed of the bow was measured at 47 knots, suggesting that wind damage will be likely along the leading edge. Further south into northern and western Arkansas, a cluster of strong to severe storms is ongoing. As convective coverage increases over the next hour, organization into a line will be possible. If a cold pool can develop, another bowing segment with wind damage potential would be possible. Large hail, and an isolated tornado threat may also develop with discrete storms that obtain supercell structure, and along the leading edge of any organized bow. ..Broyles.. 03/14/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0243 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 45...46... FOR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...FAR SOUTHWEST ARKANSAS...NORTHEAST TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0243 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0628 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 Areas affected...Southeast Oklahoma...Far Southwest Arkansas...Northeast Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 45...46... Valid 142328Z - 150130Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 45, 46 continues. SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms, associated with large hail and wind damage, will continue this evening from southeast Oklahoma into parts of northeast Texas. The threat should eventually affect far southwest Arkansas. DISCUSSION...The latest high-resolution radar from Fort Smith, Arkansas shows several supercells and multiple short bowing segments across southeast Oklahoma, with isolated storms developing across northeast Texas. These storms are located ahead of a cold front in a moist airmass, where the RAP is estimating MLCAPE in the 1500 to 2500 J/kg range. In addition, a plume of steep mid-level lapse rates exceeding 8 C/km is located across much of the area. This thermodynamic environment combined with moderate deep-layer shear will be favorable for supercells with large hail. The strongest of storms may be capable of producing hailstones greater than 2 inches in diameter. As cell coverage increases this evening, an organized line segment with wind-damage potential could also develop. ..Broyles.. 03/14/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 0240 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0528 PM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 Areas affected...Central Indiana into west-central Ohio Concerning...Tornado Watch 44... Valid 142228Z - 150000Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 44 continues. SUMMARY...Large/very-large hail will remain the primary threat with ongoing storms. The tornado threat may increase early this evening conditional on storms remaining discrete. DISCUSSION...Storm coverage has continued to increase in central Indiana into west-central Ohio. These discrete storms will continue to be capable of large/very-large (1.5-2.5 in.) hail given the strong deep-layer shear and steep mid-level lapse rates. Low-level shear is not overly strong as surface flow remains rather veered. However, there is an expected increase in the low-level jet within the mid/upper Ohio Valley this evening. This 850 mb flow will also be veered, but storms that can remain discrete into the early evening may pose an increased risk of a tornado. ..Wendt.. 03/14/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
