Tropical Storm Celia Forecast Discussion Number 28

3 years 1 month ago
Issued at 900 AM MDT Thu Jun 23 2022 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 231437 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Celia Discussion Number 28 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032022 900 AM MDT Thu Jun 23 2022 Celia is a bit of a conundrum. The strong east-northeasterly shear which was affecting the system over the past couple of days has lessened and turned out of the north, but the cyclone may have ingested so much dry air during that time that it's now struggling to produce much convection near its center. That said, new convection has recently been developing just to the east of the center. The initial intensity is being generously held at 45 kt, at the upper end of the estimate range, in the hopes that we'll get some scatterometer data later today. The storm's 12-hour motion is northwestward, or 315/11 kt, but there are signs it may be turning back to the west-northwest. There are no changes in the forecast track reasoning, with mid-level high pressure over northern Mexico still expected to drive Celia west-northwestward for the next 4 days or so. A westward turn is expected by day 5 as a weaker Celia is steered by lower-level winds. The biggest change this morning is that there is much tighter spread among the guidance, with the HWRF no longer a southern outlier as in previous days. Confidence in the track forecast is therefore higher than it had been. The big question for intensity is whether the dry air near the core can be mixed out and allow deep convection to organize near the center. The environment appears conducive for that to happen, with shear expected to be generally low and SSTs to be 26 degrees or higher for the next 2 days or so. The peak intensity in the NHC forecast has been lowered slightly due to time over warm waters being a limiting factor, but Celia still has the potential to become a hurricane during the next couple of days. Much colder waters and a more stable atmosphere should cause Celia to become post-tropical by day 5. The initial 12-foot seas radii have been adjusted and expanded significantly over Celia's eastern semicircle by TAFB based on data from a 0730 UTC Cryosat-2 pass.

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0738 AM CDT Thu Jun 23 2022 Valid 231300Z - 241200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT NEAR THE KS/NE BORDER... ...SUMMARY... Widely scattered severe thunderstorms are possible across portions of the central Great Plains this afternoon and evening. Large hail and severe gusts will be the primary threats with the stronger storms. ...Northern KS/southern NE this afternoon through tonight... Weak perturbations emanating from the monsoonal moisture plume will drift eastward across the central Plains, around the northern periphery of the southern Plains closed high aloft. At the surface, a warm front will move slowly northward across KS, to the east of a lee cyclone near the CO/KS border by this evening. A corridor of 68-70 F boundary-layer dewpoints will be maintained in the vicinity of the warm front across KS/NE, with strong surface heating and deep mixing expected to the southwest of the warm front across western KS. The net result should be relatively weak convective inhibition and the potential for surface-based thunderstorm development late this afternoon/evening along the warm front close to the KS/NE border, with the potential for elevated storm development persisting overnight on the nose of a 30+ kt low-level jet. There is some uncertainty regarding the role/persistence of morning clouds/convection in late afternoon storm development, though there should be at least some clearing along the northwest KS/southwest NE border, where storm development is more probable by 22-00z. Midlevel flow will not be strong (though 50 kt flow is expected above the 300 mb level), so low-midlevel hodograph length will depend on the degree of low-level easterly low-level flow component in the warm advection zone along and north of the warm front. A few supercells will be possible with large hail and damaging gusts, and the tornado threat will depend on getting storms into the areas of backed low-level flow and richer low-level moisture. Otherwise, storms may coalesce into clusters overnight, with a continuing threat for isolated hail/wind. ...Northeast SD into MN this evening into tonight... A weak surface trough, associated with a shortwave trough over western ON, will move southeastward into northeast SD and central/northern MN by late afternoon. An increase in low-level moisture from the south during the day, combined with daytime heating and convergence along the trough, could support widely scattered thunderstorm development by late afternoon/evening along the surface trough. The specific degree of low-level moistening and resultant increases in CAPE are a bit uncertain (some model guidance appears to be a bit high with the 68+ dewpoints by evening), and storm coverage is in question given the moisture and weak forcing for ascent. Wind profiles appear to be on the lower margins for organized/supercell storms. Given these factors, will maintain Marginal risk for the conditional threat. ...Central MT this afternoon/evening... A midlevel level closed low over southern BC will move eastward, with the primary midlevel jet crossing northern MT through tonight. The midlevel low will be accompanied by a surface cold front, which will provide a focus for thunderstorm development across central MT this afternoon/evening. Low-level moisture will remain limited across MT (boundary-layer dewpoints in the low-mid 40s with daytime heating/mixing), which will likewise limit buoyancy. Still, inverted-v profiles and some increase in midlevel flow will support the threat for isolated strong-severe outflow gusts from late afternoon into this evening. ...Eastern NV/western UT this afternoon/evening... A weak closed low over central CA will evolve into an open wave and eject east-northeastward over NV/UT through tonight. Weak ascent downstream from the midlevel trough, combined with daytime heating/mixing, will result in weak buoyancy and inverted-v profiles favorable for high-based thunderstorm development. A modest increase in midlevel flow and the steep low-level lapse rates/DCAPE greater than 1000 J/kg will support the threat for isolated severe outflow gusts. ..Thompson/Jewell.. 06/23/2022 Read more

Contact Creek Fire (Wildfire)

3 years 1 month ago
 The Contact Creek Fire (#151), burning 40 miles southeast of King Salmon, started on May 29, 2022. The fire continues to be monitored by National Park Service and Division of Forestry personnel as it burns in a limited management area in Katmai National Park & Preserve. The fire is burning 17 miles from the nearest native allotment. Crews wrapped a Remote Automated Weather System (RAWS) in protective structure wrap to reduce the impacts of the fire if it should it reach the weather system.Gathered from aerial observations on June 3rd, roughly 70% of the fire perimeter is inactive with creeks 6-10 feet wide halting growth of the fire. The entire north and northeast sections of the fire perimeter look to be held up by creeks of this size, and areas in the perimeter still burning are expected to hit streams of similar size within the next few

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1057 AM CDT Wed Jun 22 2022 Valid 221700Z - 231200Z The forecast remains on track with only minor adjustments needed based on trends in latest hi-res convective models. Showers and thunderstorms are ongoing across southern CA. MRMS rainfall estimates show that much of this activity is producing wetting rainfall, though a few cells are producing little precipitation. This mixture of wet and dry storms is expected to continue through the day and into the evening hours. Despite the areas of wetting rainfall, regional GACCs have reported a few new fire starts from recent lightning given the dry fuel status. Strong downburst winds are possible given the dry low-level air sampled in morning soundings (see the Day 1 Convective Outlook for additional details on the severe wind potential). Across UT, observed trends continue to point towards thunderstorm development by mid/late afternoon across the Greater Four Corners region. The dry thunderstorm risk area is expanded to accommodate locations where the potential for thunderstorms has increased and ERC values are above seasonal average. ..Moore.. 06/22/2022 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0122 AM CDT Wed Jun 22 2022/ ...Synopsis... Upper-level ridging centered within the Plains will retrograde westward during the day today. A weak cut-off low, currently off the southern California coast on water vapor imagery, will remain quasi-stationary before being pushed northeastward by the retrograding ridge late in the period. Fire weather concerns will be focused within southern California and within a small portion of the southern Great Basin. Both areas will see potential for a few dry thunderstorms as moisture continues to work its way westward around the ridge. Parts of southern Utah into far northwest Arizona will likely have lower PWAT values and see more traditional dry thunderstorms. Within southern California, current GPS PWAT retrievals show values over 1 inch nudging into the southern border. Forecast soundings tomorrow indicate that PWAT values will likely be near or exceed 1 inch over much of the area. Furthermore, storm coverage could approach scattered categorical designation given the influence of the cut-off low. Low-levels will be quite dry. Dewpoint depressions of 40-50 F are depicted in forecast soundings tomorrow afternoon. Even with fairly high PWAT values, a mix of wet and isolated dry storms is likely given the low-level moisture profile. Area fuels are generally at or slightly below seasonal dryness and will support ignition. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

Tropical Storm Celia Forecast Discussion Number 24

3 years 1 month ago
Issued at 1000 AM CDT Wed Jun 22 2022 441 WTPZ43 KNHC 221433 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Celia Discussion Number 24 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032022 1000 AM CDT Wed Jun 22 2022 Strong east-northeasterly shear has not yet abated, and Celia's center remains offset just to the northeast of the main area of deep convection. However, low-cloud lines with embedded convective cells have become more evident in microwave imagery, suggesting that the circulation has become a little more robust. Celia's estimated intensity remains 40 kt, with subjective and objective analyses ranging between 35 and 45 kt. Stronger-than-normal ridging over the south-central United States and northern Mexico continues to steer Celia toward the west-northwest, with a slightly slower motion of 295/10 kt. Even with this stable steering configuration, the track model spread is larger than normal during the first couple of days of the forecast, mainly because the HWRF remains a southern outlier and the GFS is slower than the main pack of models. Model spread is near or lower than normal on days 3 through 5. The updated NHC track forecast is a bit to the right and slower than the previous forecast and the model consensus aids, hedging toward the GFS and ECMWF on the right side of the guidance envelope. All in all, Celia should maintain a general west-northwestward heading through Monday. Model diagnoses indicate that the current magnitude of deep-layer shear should continue for another 6 to 12 hours and then drop to 10 kt or less by 24 hours. With an already-established low-level circulation and SSTs of about 28 degrees Celsius, the lower shear should allow Celia to intensify and reach hurricane strength in a couple of days. That opportunity will be relatively short lived, however, since the cyclone is likely to reach sub-26C waters in about 60 hours. After that time, gradual weakening is anticipated. The NHC intensity is unchanged from the previous forecast and is slightly above the intensity consensus aids during the middle part of the forecast.
