MD 1570 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 487... FOR NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS/BLACK HILLS REGION
Mesoscale Discussion 1570 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0456 PM CDT Sat Jul 05 2025 Areas affected...Northern High Plains/Black Hills region Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 487... Valid 052156Z - 060000Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 487 continues. SUMMARY...New severe thunderstorm watch will likely be warranted into western South Dakota in the next hour or so. Severe wind/hail can be expected with organized convection spreading into this region. DISCUSSION...Notable high-level diffluent flow is evident across the northern High Plains early this evening ahead of a progressive short-wave trough that is advancing across the northern Rockies. A considerable amount of deep convection is developing in response to this progressive feature, with a maturing MCS beginning to surge across southeast MT. This activity should begin to turn southeast over the next few hours, along/north of a surface front that is draped from the Nebraska Panhandle, along the west side of the Black Hills, into the northern Big Horn Mountains near Buffalo. Greatest buoyancy extends along the moist side of this wind shift which favors a severe MCS propagating toward the Black Hills later this evening. New severe thunderstorm watch will likely be issued to reflect this scenario. ..Darrow.. 07/05/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...UNR...CYS...BYZ...RIW...

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * South Santee River, SC to Surf City, NC A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * Edisto Beach to South Santee River, SC A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within the next 12 hours A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, in this case within the next 12 hours. Interests elsewhere along the southeast coast of the United States should monitor the progress of Chantal. For storm information specific to your area, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 800 PM EDT (0000 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Chantal was located near latitude 32.3 North, longitude 78.7 West. Chantal is moving toward the north near 7 mph (11 km/h). A motion toward the north-northwest is expected to begin this evening, followed by a turn to the northeast by Sunday night. On the forecast track, the center of Chantal is expected to move across the coast of South Carolina overnight or early Sunday morning. Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Some slight strengthening is forecast before Chantal reaches the coast. Rapid weakening is expected after landfall. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 140 miles (220 km) primarily to the east of the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1006 mb (29.71 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Tropical Storm Chantal can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT3 and WMO header WTNT43 KNHC. WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected in the warning area beginning this evening and continuing through Sunday morning. Tropical storm conditions are possible in the watch area this evening and overnight. RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Chantal is expected to produce heavy rainfall across portions of the Carolinas through Monday. Storm total rainfall of 2 to 4 inches, with local amounts up to 6 inches, is expected. This rainfall will result in an elevated risk for flash flooding. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Tropical Storm Chantal, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at3.shtml?rainqpf STORM SURGE: The combination of storm surge and tide will cause normally dry areas near the coast to be flooded by rising waters moving inland from the shoreline. The water could reach the following heights above ground somewhere in the indicated areas if the peak surge occurs at the time of high tide... Edisto Beach, SC to Surf City, NC...1-2 ft For a complete depiction of areas at risk of storm surge inundation, please see the National Weather Service Peak Storm Surge Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?peakSurge TORNADOES: Isolated tornadoes are possible tonight and Sunday across parts of eastern South Carolina and eastern North Carolina. SURF: Chantal is expected to bring life-threatening surf and rip currents to portions of the coast from northeastern Florida to the Mid-Atlantic states during the next day or so. A depiction of rip current risk for the United States can be found at: hurricanes.gov/refresh/graphics_at3+shtml/?ripCurrents NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 1100 PM EDT. $$ Forecaster Blake

Tropical Weather Outlook

500 PM PDT Sat Jul 5 2025

For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:

Central East Pacific (EP96):
Disorganized showers and thunderstorms located a few hundred miles
southwest of Manzanillo, Mexico, are associated with a trough of low
pressure. Gradual development of this system is anticipated during
the next couple days, and a tropical depression is likely to form by
early next week while it moves generally west-northwestward well off
the coast of Mexico. By early Tuesday, the disturbance is expected
to reach cooler water, ending its opportunity for development.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...70 percent.

South of Southwestern Mexico:
An area of low pressure could form several hundred miles offshore of
southwestern Mexico late next week. Some gradual development of this
system is possible thereafter while it moves generally
west-northwestward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

MD 1571 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS...SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO...NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO...AND THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES
Mesoscale Discussion 1571 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0529 PM CDT Sat Jul 05 2025 Areas affected...parts of southwestern Kansas...southeastern Colorado...northeastern New Mexico...and the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 052229Z - 052330Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Storms capable of large hail and severe gusts are ongoing this afternoon across portions of southwestern Kansas, southeastern Colorado, northeastern New Mexico, and the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. A watch appears unlikely, however trends will be monitored. DISCUSSION...Storms are ongoing to the south of a stationary boundary draped across west-central Kansas and east-central Colorado. South of the boundary, moist southeasterly flow and strong surface heating have resulted in moderate to strong instability (1500-2500 J/kg MLCAPE) with steep low-level lapse rates. Flow aloft is fairly weak, which yields about 25-35 kts of effective bulk shear, so the multicell character of convection with occasional transient supercells are expected to continue. The supercell updrafts may pose a risk for large hail this evening, given the favorable thermodynamic environment along with straight-line hodographs. Additionally, the strongest clusters of storms may produce severe gusts given the steep low-level lapse rates before the diurnal increase in convective inhibition later this evening. A watch seems unlikely at this time, but trends will be monitored. ..Supinie/Gleason.. 07/05/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
