SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0500 PM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024 Valid 041200Z - 101200Z A multi-day period of critical fire-weather conditions are expected across portions of the central/southern High Plains on Days 4-6/Friday-Sunday, where fine fuels should become increasingly supportive of large fires, given antecedent drying across the region. Elsewhere, dry/breezy post-frontal conditions are expected across the Southeast (including northern FL) on Day 3/Thursday; however, preceding rainfall should generally limit fire-weather concerns here. ...Days 4-6/Friday-Sunday - Central/Southern High Plains... Deep/strong meridional flow will overspread the central/southern High Plains ahead of an amplifying western CONUS mid/upper-level trough/low on Day 4/Friday. This will yield an expansive north-south corridor of strong southerly surface winds and low RH, favoring critical fire-weather conditions. On Day 5/Saturday, the mid/upper-level trough/low will eject eastward across the central/southern Plains. A related belt of very strong midlevel west-southwesterly flow, and rapidly deepening surface cyclone over the central High Plains, will favor high-end critical conditions behind a surging dryline/Pacific front over the southern High Plains. Thereafter, the midlevel low will continue eastward across the central Plains on Day 6/Sunday, and associated strong deep-layer westerlies will persist across the southern High Plains behind the front. This will support a continuation of elevated to critical fire-weather conditions over parts of the area. Fire-weather potential may re-develop across the southern High Plains on Days 7-8/Monday-Tuesday -- ahead of another midlevel trough/low over the Southwest. However, the details are unclear at this time -- precluding Critical probabilities. ..Weinman.. 04/02/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

MD 0352 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 75...77... FOR PORTIONS OF MIDDLE/EASTERN TENNESSEE INTO EASTERN KENTUCKY
Mesoscale Discussion 0352 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0249 PM CDT Tue Apr 02 2024 Areas affected...Portions of Middle/Eastern Tennessee into eastern Kentucky Concerning...Tornado Watch 75...77... Valid 021949Z - 022145Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 75, 77 continues. SUMMARY...Tornado potential will continue into the evening as additional storms do appear probable. Wind profiles will remain favorable, but thermodynamic profiles are less supportive. A new tornado watch will be needed. DISCUSSION...Storms have struggled to mature and organize across much of Tennessee into eastern Kentucky. The 18Z observed sounding from Nashville showed very favorable wind profile for rotating storms, though the thermodynamic profile indicated weak lapse rates due to the influence of earlier convection/precipitation. Lack of cloud cover near the surface boundary within the Mississippi Valley has allowed some destabilization to occur and cumulus continue to deepen in this area. Mid-level height falls will continue to increase into the evening and the wind profile should still favor tornado potential with any organized storms. That being said, additional storms appear probable later this afternoon into the evening either with the boundary or moving northeast out of Mississippi. The main question will be how intense this activity will be given the thermodynamic constraints. With WW 75 set to expire at 3 PM CDT, a new watch will be needed to account for some continued tornado potential into the evening. ..Wendt.. 04/02/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 76 TORNADO IL IN KY MO 021710Z - 022300Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 76 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1210 PM CDT Tue Apr 2 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Southeast Illinois Southwest Indiana Western Kentucky Extreme southeast Missouri * Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 1210 PM until 600 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible SUMMARY...Scattered supercell development is expected along a wind shift from extreme southeast Missouri into southeast Illinois early this afternoon, and additional storms will form and move into western Kentucky and southwest Indiana through the afternoon. The environment favors fast-moving supercells capable of producing tornadoes (a couple of which could be strong/EF2), large hail of 1-2 inches in diameter, and damaging gusts of 60-75 mph. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles east and west of a line from 40 miles north of Evansville IN to 40 miles south southwest of Paducah KY. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and 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. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 75... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 24050. ...Thompson Read more
