SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0210 PM CDT Sat Oct 07 2023 Valid 091200Z - 151200Z Broad mid-upper troughing will persist across the eastern United States through the middle of next week. This pattern will favor deep-layer northwesterly flow across much of the Central United States, ushering in cooler, drier conditions. By mid-to-late week another mid-upper-level trough will move through the West and amplify across the Rocky Mountains. Guidance suggests that dry and windy conditions will develop across portions of the West into the southern Plains as the tough amplifies mid-to-late week. However, at this point, fuel moisture should remain high enough that large-scale fire-weather concerns look to be low. This will continued to be monitored. ..Marsh.. 10/07/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 PM PDT Fri Oct 6 2023

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Lidia, located several hundred miles south of the southern
tip of the Baja California peninsula.

South of Southern Mexico (EP99):
Showers and thunderstorms are gradually becoming better organized in
association with an area of low pressure centered a couple of
hundred miles southwest of the Gulf of Tehuantepec. Environmental
conditions are expected to support further development of this
system during the next couple of days, and a tropical depression is
likely to form this weekend. The disturbance is forecast to move
slowly west-northwestward for the next day or so, and then turn
northward and move toward the southern coast of Mexico late Sunday
and Monday. Regardless of development, this system could produce
heavy rainfall along portions of the coast of southern and
southwestern Mexico through early next week. Interests in this area
should monitor the progress of this system.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...70 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.

Issued at 300 PM MDT Fri Oct 06 2023 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 062038 TCDEP5 Tropical Storm Lidia Discussion Number 15 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP152023 300 PM MDT Fri Oct 06 2023 Lidia remains sheared, with its low-level center nearly exposed in recent visible satellite imagery. Confidence in the center position of Lidia is therefore much higher than it was six hours ago. Recent Dvorak intensity fixes still appear to be inflated relative to Lidia's observed structure. Thus, the intensity estimate is again based heavily on objective techniques that incorporate microwave data, such as the UW-CIMSS DMINT, which still support an intensity near 60 kt. For the next 2-3 days, confidence in the NHC track and intensity forecasts is fairly high. Lidia is forecast to continue moving generally westward to west-northwestward today, and then gradually turn northward through the weekend. The tropical storm will likely remain sheared during this time, which should result in only small fluctuations in intensity. Lidia could still become a hurricane tonight or over the weekend. Beyond about 72 h, the forecast uncertainty increases substantially. The tropical storm is forecast to interact with a mid-latitude short-wave trough, which should cause it to accelerate northeastward. The trough interaction will also cause a change in the environmental mid- to upper-level wind pattern, resulting in a southwesterly shear vector and an increase in upper-level difluence. Some models, including both HAFS-A and HAFS-B, indicate that Lidia could begin to strengthen at this time, while others keep it steady-state and strongly sheared. There is also uncertainty with the forward speed of Lidia. For instance, the GFS shows a much faster forward speed than most other models. Run-to-run consistency of the models in the 4-5 day time frame has been poor today, so only very small adjustments were made to the NHC forecast at this time. Larger changes may be required over the weekend as the forecast becomes clearer.

A few strong thunderstorms capable of gusty/damaging wind gusts may occur this afternoon in southwest Lower Michigan. No changes were made to the previous outlook. A low-end chance of convectively enhanced wind gusts remains over parts of western Lower MI over the next few hours as precipitation associated with the upper vort max shifts east. Modest heating and steepened lapse rates may aid convective gusts. ..Jewell.. 10/06/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1108 AM CDT Fri Oct 06 2023/ ...Southwest Lower MI... Morning water vapor imagery shows a deepening upper trough over the upper midwest digging into the western Great Lakes. This trough and its associated surface cold front will move across southern Lake Michigan this afternoon during the peak-heating period. Strong heating ahead of the front is leading to steep low-level lapse rates. CAPE values will be weak (less than 500 J/kg). However, given the favorable timing of the system, strong winds aloft, and steep low-level lapse rates, it appears possible that a few strong/severe wind gusts could occur with showers/thunderstorms along the coast of southwest Lower MI. Therefore have added a small MRGL risk area for this scenario. Cold temperatures aloft and ambient vorticity near the upper trough could also result in isolated waterspouts in this area. Read more

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0246 PM CDT Fri Oct 06 2023 Valid 081200Z - 141200Z Broad upper troughing should persist across the eastern CONUS through early next week, supporting a deep-layer northwesterly flow regime across the central/northern Plains into the Upper MS Valley, and overall cooler conditions from the OH Valley eastward. From mid to late next week, another mid-level trough amplifies over the Rockies and ejects into the Plains states, supporting surface cyclone development and a rapid return of low-level moisture from the central/southern Plains into the Southeast. Current medium range guidance consensus suggests that potentially dry and windy conditions may accompany the next amplifying mid-level trough across portions of the Interior West into the southern High Plains mid to late next week. However, fuel receptiveness is not overly robust at the moment, and questions remain whether this will change next week, precluding fire weather highlights this outlook. Dry conditions should persist across the Southeast Days 3-6/Sunday-Wednesday. However, guidance shows a diffuse surface pressure gradient prior to surface cyclone arrival, resulting in a weak synoptic wind field, keeping wildfire-spread potential localized. ..Squitieri.. 10/06/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0207 PM CDT Fri Oct 06 2023 Valid 071200Z - 081200Z The previous forecast (see below) remains generally on track. The primary change made to this outlook was to expand the Elevated area farther northeast into eastern GA and northwestern SC. Here, the latest guidance consensus depicts up to 15 mph sustained northwesterly winds overlapping with 20-30 percent RH for at least a few hours tomorrow afternoon behind the surface cold front. Fuels are also at least modestly receptive to wildfire spread. There is some question regarding the robustness of wildfire-spread potential across portions of western into central LA, which has received 1-2 inches of rain within the past 48 hours. Still, the extent of the ongoing drought and rapid drying of finer grasses may still support appreciable fire spread. ..Squitieri.. 10/06/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0159 AM CDT Fri Oct 06 2023/ ...Synopsis... A highly amplified large-scale trough will shift slowly eastward from the Ohio Valley toward the Northeast, while an expansive surface anticyclone moves southward across the central/southern Plains -- in the wake of a southeastward-moving cold front over the Gulf of Mexico. ...Central Gulf Coast and Southeast... Along the southeastern periphery of the surface anticyclone, an enhanced pressure gradient will favor 10-15 mph sustained northerly surface winds across the central Gulf Coast and Southeast. These breezy post-frontal winds, combined with 25 percent minimum RH, will support elevated fire-weather conditions. While rainfall is expected across parts of the area on Day 1/Friday, ongoing severe to exceptional drought and 80th-90th percentile ERCs suggest fuels will still be receptive to fire spread. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Hawaii Island ranged from being abnormally dry to a touch of extreme drought. The Hawaiʻi County Department of Water Supply warned that water customers will be asked to conserve water if pumping capabilities cannot keep up with demand. The Department of Water Supply will continue to monitor its 23 water systems. Big Island Video News (Hilo, Hawaii), Oct 5, 2023

The Mississippi River was 0.3 feet at Vicksburg River gauge, but ought to be at 20 feet. Barges can usually be loaded to a draft of 12 feet, but with the low water, drafts were being limited to 10 feet to avoid groundings. WLBT Online (Jackson, Miss.), Oct 5, 2023
