SPC 0700Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1257 AM CST Mon Dec 11 2023 Valid 121200Z - 131200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are not expected on Tuesday. ...Discussion... A dearth of buoyancy adequate for thunderstorm potential will persist across much of the CONUS on Tuesday. One exception will be over the TX Trans-Pecos into southeast NM. Moistening around 700 mb should gradually occur downstream of a shortwave impulse digging from the Sierra Nevada to the Lower CO Valley. Guidance has trended faster with indicating scant elevated buoyancy by Tuesday night. The RRFS and parent 03Z RAP environment support isolated thunderstorm potential, despite neutral mid-level height change. Even so, most 00Z non-CAM and both available HREF members in the 48-60 hour time frame indicate minimal convective signal prior to 12Z Wednesday. ..Grams.. 12/11/2023 Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1254 AM CST Mon Dec 11 2023 Valid 121200Z - 131200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... An upper-level cyclone will be positioned across parts of the Northeast with a cutoff low developing in the Great Basin in a quasi-Rex Block pattern. Surface high pressure will continue to be the predominant feature over much of the CONUS. Fire weather concerns will likely remain minimal on Tuesday for most areas. Offshore pressure gradients in southern California will increase very late Tuesday into Wednesday morning. However, RH recovery overnight and only marginal increases in the wind should keep fire weather concerns low through the end of the period. ..Wendt.. 12/11/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

The drought emergency declaration for Strasburg has ended, as has the mandatory water restrictions enacted on Oct. 30. Strasburg, however, remained in a Drought Warning Condition, which is triggered when the seven-day average of the river is between 90 and 115 cubic feet per second. Water conservation measures that were previously mandatory were now voluntary and still recommended. The Northern Virginia Daily (Strasburg, Va.), Dec 10, 2023 The Town of Strasburg has declared a drought emergency for the second time in two and a half months. The North Fork of the Shenandoah River, Strasburg’s water source, was again below a seven-day average of 90 cubic feet per second, triggering the drought response plan. Most non-essential water uses were prohibited. The previous drought emergency was declared on Aug. 15. WHSV Online (Harrisonburg, Va.), Oct 31, 2023

Hyland Lake and Bush Lake were too low to be used to make snow for the Hyland Lake ski area, and the state Department of Natural Resources advised against taking water from the lakes as drought has dropped water levels too low. The department approved using the groundwater-based system that the Hyland Hills downhill ski area uses to make snow for cross-country courses also. Less water has been used in recent years to make snow, due to the drought, leaving trails smaller and with a thinner snowpack. Hyland Lake has not yet opened its cross-country ski trails.
