SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1253 PM CST Tue Jan 09 2024 Valid 101200Z - 111200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... No changes to the ongoing forecast. ..Wendt.. 01/09/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0206 AM CST Tue Jan 09 2024/ ...Synopsis... Fire-weather conditions appear mostly quiescent through the forecast period, as the potent upper-level cyclone over the central US quickly moves to the east. Strong westerly flow aloft will remain over the CONUS. However, surface winds will remain light in the dry, but relatively cool post-frontal air mass. A few hours of low-end fire weather conditions are possible from the Trans-Pecos into the Rio Grand Valley/South Texas, where lingering low humidity and occasional gusty surface winds are possible through the afternoon. However, with area fuel moisture near normal and the relatively limited overlap of dry and breezy conditions, fire-weather concerns should remain localized. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

MD 0029 CONCERNING HEAVY SNOW FOR EASTERN IOWA...NORTHWEST ILLINOIS...AND FAR SOUTHWEST WISCONSIN.
Mesoscale Discussion 0029 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0912 AM CST Tue Jan 09 2024 Areas affected...Eastern Iowa...northwest Illinois...and far southwest Wisconsin. Concerning...Heavy snow Valid 091512Z - 091815Z SUMMARY...Moderate to heavy snow with rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour are expected into the early afternoon. Strong winds will lead to blowing, drifting, and reduced visibility. DISCUSSION...A 987mb surface low currently southeast of St. Louis this morning will continue to deepen through the day as it moves north into Michigan and deepens below 980mb. Within the last hour, snowfall rates have started to increase across eastern Iowa within the deformation region of the cyclone. Expect this moderate to heavy snow to shift eastward into northern Illinois and Wisconsin during the day in response to the deepening/moving cyclone. Winds are already around 20 mph with gusts to 30 mph but are expected to strengthen further to around 25 mph with gusts to 40 mph this afternoon as the pressure gradient tightens. Widespread blowing and drifting snow is expected with localized blizzard conditions possible. ..Bentley.. 01/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0030 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH FL...COASTAL/EASTERN GA...MUCH OF SC...AND EXTREME SOUTH-CENTRAL NC
Mesoscale Discussion 0030 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0945 AM CST Tue Jan 09 2024 Areas affected...Portions of north FL...coastal/eastern GA...much of SC...and extreme south-central NC Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely Valid 091545Z - 091745Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Conditions are expected to become increasingly favorable for tornadoes and severe/damaging winds over the next couple of hours. Tornado Watch issuance is likely. DISCUSSION...A broken line of convection extends from northeast GA to the FL Panhandle along/near a surface cold front. A powerful upper cyclone is centered over the mid MS Valley this morning, with associated 60-80+ kt southerly low-level jet rapidly advecting moisture northward ahead of the line. Various recent RAP/NAM forecast soundings across north FL into coastal/eastern GA and much of SC suggest that it will take at least 62-63F surface dewpoints amid modest daytime heating to aid weak boundary-layer destabilization and the potential for surface-based thunderstorms. Latest surface observations indicate that sufficient low-level moisture is already in place as far north as central GA/SC. Current expectations are that this continued low-level warm/moist advection will likely support a severe threat as far north as parts of upstate SC and towards Charlotte NC. Area VWPs ahead of the ongoing QLCS show low-level flow quickly strengthening to 60-70+ kt above 1 km, with ample low-level shear available to support updraft rotation and embedded tornadic circulations within the line. Severe/damaging downdraft winds of 60-75 mph also appear likely given the strength of the low-level flow. With the severe potential likely to increase across this region over the next few hours, Tornado Watch issuance is likely. ..Gleason/Hart.. 01/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 4 TORNADO AL FL GA CW 091205Z - 091900Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 4 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 705 AM EST Tue Jan 9 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Southeastern Alabama Northern Florida and central/eastern Florida Panhandle Southern Georgia Coastal Waters * Effective this Tuesday morning and afternoon from 705 AM until 200 PM EST. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible Isolated large hail events to 1 inch in diameter possible SUMMARY...A severe squall line, with embedded potentially tornadic circulations and damaging nontornadic winds, will sweep eastward across the watch area through the remainder of the morning, into early afternoon. A few supercells also are possible ahead of the line with a threat for tornadoes (some strong), severe gusts and isolated hail. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 85 statute miles north and south of a line from 10 miles south southwest of Crestview FL to 55 miles east northeast of Valdosta GA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU4). 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 3... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1 inch. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 450. Mean storm motion vector 23035. ...Edwards Read more

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1056 AM CST Tue Jan 09 2024 Valid 101200Z - 111200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Wednesday. ...Synopsis... A strong mid/upper-level trough and related deep cyclone are forecast to move quickly into eastern Canada and the western Atlantic early in the forecast period. Weak convection may be ongoing at the start of the period near Cape Cod and the coast of Maine, but instability appears too weak to support lightning potential before convection moves offshore. Otherwise, a large upper trough will remain over most of the CONUS, with multiple embedded shortwaves moving through broad cyclonic flow. One embedded shortwave may produce weak convection capable of sporadic lightning flashes across parts of the Great Basin during the afternoon/evening. Cold temperatures aloft (colder than -30C at 500 mb) may support shallow convection capable of occasional lightning flashes near the Pacific Northwest coast. Elsewhere across the CONUS, generally dry/stable conditions should limit thunderstorm potential on Wednesday. ..Dean.. 01/09/2024 Read more
