Mesoscale Discussion 1002 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0353 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023 Areas affected...Portions of eastern CO and northeastern NM Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 276... Valid 122053Z - 122230Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 276 continues. SUMMARY...Large hail and severe/damaging wind gusts will remain possible with thunderstorms spreading eastward this afternoon/early evening. DISCUSSION...Convection has developed this afternoon across eastern CO and northeastern NM in a modest low-level upslope flow regime. Even though instability remains fairly limited, deep-layer shear of 40+ kt will remain favorable for updraft organization, including isolated supercells. Large hail will remain the primary severe threat with the more discrete convection across northeastern NM in the short term. Thunderstorms across eastern CO have recently congealed into a small cluster, which may pose more of a strong to locally severe wind threat as it develops eastward. The eastern extent of appreciable severe potential should be constrained by persistent cloud cover across the western OK/TX Panhandles and western KS. ..Gleason.. 06/12/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC 2000Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0249 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023 Valid 122000Z - 131200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF CENTRAL TEXAS... ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS AND FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS EASTWARD ALONG THE NORTHERN GULF COAST STATES... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms capable of very large hail, damaging winds and a couple of tornadoes are expected this afternoon/evening across central Texas. Damaging winds and/or large hail will also be possible from the southern High Plains to the Gulf Coast, and across the Mid-Atlantic. Little change was needed at 20Z to the existing outlook. Severe storms have formed relatively early over northern Louisiana, and from the Front Range into northeast New Mexico. Continued heating/destabilization and lengthening hodographs will favor cells capable of large hail. The most favorable area of severe storms including very large/damaging hail will be later today over central Texas. Here, visible imagery show continued growth of cumulus fields, which are situated both near an east-west outflow boundary and on the nose of the low-level lapse rate plume emanating out of southwest Texas. This area should favor at least isolated supercells by late afternoon. ..Jewell.. 06/12/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1127 AM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023/ ...TX area this afternoon through tonight... A front has stalled across central TX, and the cool air north of the front is being reinforced by elevated convection near the Red River. Visible satellite imagery suggest that strong surface heating will continue into the afternoon farther south from the Edwards Plateau into central TX, where a belt of low-mid 70s boundary-layer dewpoints will coincide with the surface front. A warm elevated mixed layer and cap currently reside over this area, but warming temperatures into the 90s will reduce convective inhibition in a small area by mid-late afternoon between SJT-ABI-BWD. Thunderstorm development becomes probable by 21-23z in this zone, where MLCAPE of 3000-4000 J/kg, steep midlevel lapse rates, and unusually long hodographs/strong vertical shear will all favor intense supercells. Storm splits will be possible initially with somewhat straight hodographs, and these storms will be capable of producing very large hail of 3-4 inches in diameter. There will be a narrow window of opportunity for a couple of tornadoes with any supercell that can move along the zone of the mid 70s dewpoints and stronger low-level shear/larger hodograph curvature along the stalled front. There will be the potential for some storm clustering this evening, with continued large hail and damaging-wind threats. There will be some potential for occasional large hail with elevated storms through this evening in the zone of warm advection across north TX to the Red River. However, elevated storm development appears more probable overnight from north TX/southern OK to the Arklatex and northern LA, with profiles favorable for elevated supercells with large hail. ..LA to the FL Panhandle/south GA this afternoon/evening... Some convection is ongoing across north FL and could continue southeastward as the low levels warm/destabilize south of the anvil shading. Farther west and north, surface heating is underway in advance of a cold front from central GA westward across southern AL/MS into LA near I-20. The combination of weak convergence/ascent along the front, as well as along the sea breeze, will support scattered thunderstorm development by early-mid afternoon. Seasonably large buoyancy (MLCAPE in excess of 3000 J/kg) and somewhat stronger-than-normal westerly flow aloft and resultant vertical shear will support the potential for multiple storm clusters and a few supercells capable of producing damaging outflow winds and large hail for several hours this afternoon/evening. ...Southeast CO/northeast NM this afternoon/evening... Moist upslope flow persists from northeast NM into southeast CO, and convection has been persistent across this area since last night (in the zone of ascent downstream from an embedded speed max over NM). Clouds will tend to slow surface heating, but relatively rich moisture into the higher terrain and robust west-southwesterly flow aloft will support a few supercells with large hail of 1-2 inches in diameter this afternoon through this evening. ...Mid-Atlantic to NC this afternoon... A closed midlevel low persists over the Great Lakes, and to its south and southwest, a relatively strong subtropical branch of the westerlies extends from the southern Rockies to the northern Gulf Coast states. In association with an embedded shortwave trough rotating around the southeast periphery of the Great Lakes low, a surface cyclone will pivot northward across western PA/NY and occlude over southwest ON. A trailing cold front will move eastward across the Mid-Atlantic this afternoon through late evening, providing a focus for scattered thunderstorm development. Surface heating east of the thicker clouds over VA/MD and a modest increase in midlevel flow will support the potential for a few storms with damaging outflow gusts this afternoon from southern NJ/southeastern PA to eastern NC.

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0202 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023 Valid 131200Z - 141200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF SOUTHERN NEW MEXICO... Only minor changes were made with this update based on the latest high-resolution guidance consensus. For details, see the previous discussion below. ..Weinman.. 06/12/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0259 AM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023/ ...Synopsis... Westerly mid-level flow will linger across southern New Mexico on Tuesday with a broad surface low across West Texas. Deep mixing will bring some of this stronger flow to the surface and the tightening pressure gradient will also enhance the low-level flow. Sustained winds of 20 to 25 mph are expected amid single digit relative humidity. ERC values are in the 90th percentile in this region and several days of elevated/critical fire weather conditions have further cured fuels in the area. In addition, poor overnight recoveries in the region (15 to 20 percent relative humidity) on Monday night will also aid in fuel receptiveness on Tuesday. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1232 PM CDT Mon Jun 12 2023 Valid 131200Z - 141200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN TEXAS EASTWARD ACROSS THE GULF COAST STATES... ...SUMMARY... Corridors of severe thunderstorms are expected throughout the period Tuesday, from parts of the southern Plains eastward across the Southeast. Large hail and damaging winds will be the primary concern. ...Synopsis... An upper low will move slowly eastward across the Upper Great Lakes on Tuesday, contributing to height falls along the East Coast. Meanwhile, a weak upper ridge will exist over the Southwest, with a belt of strong mid to upper level westerlies from the southern Plains into the Southeast. At the surface, 60+ dewpoints will remain roughly from TX/OK eastward to the Atlantic Coast, with 70+ dewpoints from TX eastward across the northern Gulf Coast and FL. Drier air will exist across much of the MO/Upper MS/OH Valleys owing the cooling influence of the upper low. However, weak low pressure is expected over Lower MI, with at least weak instability developing in that region. Otherwise, a mean surface boundary will extend roughly from northern TX eastward to GA/SC, reinforced by bouts of convection and outflow. This general zone, beneath the favorably strong westerlies aloft, will be the primary focus for severe storms throughout the period on Tuesday. ...TX eastward into GA/SC... Clusters of storms are expected throughout the period, and the influence of antecedent convection will have an impact on where the greatest threat corridors develop. At this time, it appears that storms will be ongoing from parts of MS, AL into GA and eventually SC during the day, with one or more clusters possible. Heating of a moist air mass will contribute to MLCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg in spots, with deep-layer effective shear around 50 kt. This will favor large hail and swaths of damaging wind, perhaps very large hail. The proportion of supercells may depend on whether outflow scour much of the warm sector. To the west, large-scale lift may be reduced in the wake of the systems passing to the east, with midlevel subsidence found in some forecast soundings. However, very strong instability will remain in place from TX into the lower MS Valley, and strong heating and convergence along any residual boundaries will provide a focus for storms during the afternoon. Very large hail may occur along with locally damaging gusts, from northeast TX into northern LA. Although locally higher-end hail potential will exist, predictability is a bit low to provide higher severe probabilities at this time. ...Southeast CO into the OK/TX Panhandles... Residual moisture, surface heating and the influence of a low-amplitude wave will lead to storms forming over southeast CO and northeast NM during the afternoon. Strong high-level flow atop weak southerly winds will lead to cells moving in a southeastward direction, producing hail and locally gusty winds. These storms will likely encounter increased CIN from western OK into northwest TX, with lessening threat there overnight. ...Central IN into western OH... Westerly surface winds and heating will lead to a narrow plume of steeper low-level lapse rates from IL into southern IN and OH, with temperatures in the 70s F. Dewpoints will generally be in the 40s to near 50 F, and this may contribute to weak instability during the peak heating hours. The combination of mixing of 30 kt flow at 850 mb and increasing precipitation during the afternoon could lead to gusty winds. At this time, the threat for severe does not appear high enough to introduce low wind probabilities. Any cellular convection could result in small/sub-severe hail as well. ..Jewell.. 06/12/2023 Read more

MD 0979 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF NORTH-CENTRAL MS
Mesoscale Discussion 0979 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0517 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2023 Areas affected...portions of north-central MS Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 112217Z - 112315Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...Severe potential is expected to increase across portions of north-central Mississippi this evening. Damaging gusts and hail will be possible, and a severe thunderstorm watch will likely be needed in the next hour. DISCUSSION...A couple of isolated supercells likely producing large hail across east-central AR will continue shifting east/southeast toward north-central MS the next couple of hours. The downstream environment is characterized by strong instability amid effective bulk shear values around 35-40 kt. This should support continuation of these cells, with additional activity expected to develop/shift southeast from northern MS this evening. Initially, large hail and gusts to 60 mph will be possible. Steep low-level lapse rates will support strong outflow winds over the next couple of hours. A modestly low-level jet (around 25-30 kt) is forecast to increase this evening and some upscale development into bowing segments is possible. If this evolution occurs, potential for swaths of damaging gusts will increase. Given the overall environment, and trends in HRRR/RRFS guidance, a severe thunderstorm watch likely will be needed in the next hour or so for portions of north-central MS. ..Leitman/Hart.. 06/11/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0978 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 267... FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST COLORADO...NORTHEAST NEW MEXICO...THE WESTERN OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE AND FAR NORTHWEST TEXAS PANHANDLE.
Mesoscale Discussion 0978 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0506 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2023 Areas affected...Portions of southeast Colorado...northeast New Mexico...the western Oklahoma Panhandle and far northwest Texas Panhandle. Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 267... Valid 112206Z - 112330Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 267 continues. SUMMARY...The severe weather threat, which is primarily large to very large hail, will persist through the evening. DISCUSSION...Strengthening low-level upslope flow (1km deep per PUX VWP) has led to the development of numerous thunderstorms along the Colorado Front Range. The strongest of these is a supercell which has taken a right turn across Las Animas county. Most CAM guidance indicated only one or two strong storms may materialize, but that they could persist well into the evening and eventually move into the TX/OK Panhandle. Current observations would support this solution as additional strong cells have not developed yet and the environment remains favorable (1000+ MLCAPE and 40 knots of effective shear) ahead of the ongoing strong supercell. Hail up to 2 inches has already been reported in Las Animas county with similar peak hail size expected for the duration of the supercell lifecycle as it moves southeast this evening. Will not rule out additional strong supercell development this evening, but expect the primary threat will be associated with the ongoing strong supercell in Las Animas county. ..Bentley/Hart.. 06/11/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 0977 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0443 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2023 Areas affected...portions of eastern AR...northern MS...western to Middle TN Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 265...266... Valid 112143Z - 112315Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 265, 266 continues. SUMMARY...Potential for damaging gusts and large hail is expected to increase over the next 1-2 hours from parts of eastern Arkansas and northern Mississippi into western and Middle Tennessee. DISCUSSION...Mostly discrete cellular convection will continue to shift east the next few hours. Recent radar trends have shown increasing intensity in this activity, especially over eastern AR and western TN, with more modest intensification toward Middle TN. These storms will continue to shift into moderate to strong instability over the next few hours. Steep to very steep low-level lapse rates are in place downstream of this ongoing activity with MLCAPE values ranging from 1500 J/kg across Middle TN to 3000 J/kg further west. Vertical shear remains favorable for organized convection, though is somewhat lower over Middle TN and becomes stronger with western extent into northern MS. VWP data from NQA also shows a bit more elongated hodographs compared to the hodograph at OHX as well, suggesting some better potential for large hail. Overall this environment should support increasing potential for large hail and damaging gusts over the next couple hours. With time, potential exists for some upscale development into bowing clusters via storm interactions and consolidating outflows. ..Leitman.. 06/11/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 0976 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0437 PM CDT Sun Jun 11 2023 Areas affected...Portions of the Trans Pecos Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 112137Z - 112300Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Large to very large hail and severe wind gusts possible through the evening across the Trans Pecos. DISCUSSION...A cluster of updrafts have developed south of Fort Stockton along a sharp dryline. Updrafts have yet to consolidate, but are expected to eventually consolidate and organize into a strong supercell given a downstream environment of 2500+ J/kg MLCAPE and 40-50 knots of effective shear. This will support robust updrafts capable of some very large (2+") hail. Long/straight hodographs could favor some splitting supercells, especially early in the life cycle. Most guidance suggests storm coverage should remain isolated in this region. However, current radar/satellite trends suggest storm coverage may be higher than initially thought. At this time, the expectation for an isolated severe threat precludes the need for a watch, but if more scattered storm development appears imminent, a watch may need to be considered. ..Bentley/Hart.. 06/11/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
