SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0454 PM CDT Sun Sep 10 2023 Valid 121200Z - 181200Z Generally quiescent fire-weather conditions are expected across the CONUS through the extended forecast period. Pacific Northwest troughing is forecast to remain in place through the first part of next week before mid-level ridging builds over the West. Cooler and breezy conditions will give way to warmer and drier weather, with generally poor overlap of critical fire-weather conditions and dry fuels expected across the western states. ...Northwest... Through the first part of next week, the persistent mid-level trough over the Pacific Northwest will remain in place, subtly enhancing west/southwest flow over the Pacific Northwest and northern Rockies. Ensemble forecasts suggest winds will likely be strongest D3/Tues into D4/Wed east of the Cascades and across the Snake River Valley. Isolated thunderstorms may also develop with the passage of the main trough, though coverage is expected to remain low. While surface winds may occasionally reach 15 mph on a localized basis, widespread dry and windy conditions, supporting critical fire-weather concerns, are not expected. Fire-weather concerns shift toward warm, dry and unstable conditions late next week into the first part of next weekend, as a mid-level ridge is forecast to build over the eastern Pacific. With the main ridge axis offshore, weak offshore flow is possible over parts of the Cascades and West Coast. Localized fire-weather concerns are possible, but widespread coverage is not anticipated through the remainder of the extended forecast period. ..Lyons.. 09/10/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Issued at 200 PM PDT Sun Sep 10 2023 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 102036 TCDEP1 Post-Tropical Cyclone Jova Discussion Number 25 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112023 200 PM PDT Sun Sep 10 2023 Jova has been devoid of deep convection for roughly 12 hours or so. The overall cloud pattern continues to become disheveled, as the system gradually spins down. Given that the system has not been producing convection for some time now, it no longer meets the definition of a tropical cyclone. Therefore, Jova has degenerated into a post-tropical remnant low. The initial intensity is lowered to 30 kt for this advisory, based on a recent scatterometer pass which is in agreement with the latest subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates. Jova will continue to spin down for the next couple of days as it remains a remnant low, before opening up into a trough in about 72 h. No significant changes were made to the official forecast, which lies near the consensus intensity aids. Jova's initial motion is estimated to be northwestward at 5 kt, A gradual turn toward the west and west-southwest, with an increase in forward motion is forecast. The NHC forecast lies near the middle of the guidance envelope, near the model consensus. This is the last advisory on this system from the National Hurricane Center.

MD 2133 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO...SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO...AND THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES INTO SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 2133 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0313 PM CDT Sun Sep 10 2023 Areas affected...parts of northeastern New Mexico...southeastern Colorado...and the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles into southwestern Kansas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 102013Z - 102245Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered strong thunderstorm development is possible through 5-6 PM CDT. This may include an isolated supercell or two, posing a risk for severe hail, locally strong surface gusts and perhaps a brief tornado. DISCUSSION...Low-level moistening is still ongoing within weak, but slowly deepening surface troughing to the lee of the southern Rockies. This is occurring beneath warm and capping elevated mixed-layer, and mid-level ridging to the north of a still fairly prominent subtropical high centered over the northwestern Mexican Plateau. In response to a series of short wave perturbations progressing around the periphery of the ridge in the near term, and, later, digging mid-level troughing across the northern Great Plains, mid-level heights are gradually beginning to fall. It appears that large-scale forcing for ascent will lead to increasing convective development spreading off the Front Range into the destabilizing boundary layer across and east of northeastern New Mexico and southeastern Colorado by early this evening. Potential for the initiation of sustained thunderstorm development in advance of this activity, through late afternoon, remains more unclear. Based on objective analysis, mixed-layer CAPE remains fairly modest to the north of the Texas Panhandle vicinity, currently maximized around 1000 J/kg near the Colorado/Kansas border. However, shear for boundary-layer based thunderstorm development is sufficient for supercells beneath 30 kt west-northwesterly mid-level flow (around 500 mb). Farther south, mixed-layer CAPE is more substantive, but shear remains weaker. With additional surface heating, it appears possible that weakening of lingering mid-level inhibition may become sufficient for at least widely scattered thunderstorm development. A zone of enhanced lower/mid-tropospheric warm advection, currently centered to the west/northwest of Garden City KS, may provide one potential focus for thunderstorm initiation during the next hour or two. As this activity acquires increasing inflow of destabilizing boundary-layer, it may rapidly intensify and organize, accompanied by increasing potential for severe hail and perhaps some risk for a tornado through 22-23Z. ..Kerr/Guyer.. 09/10/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0242 PM CDT Sun Sep 10 2023 Valid 102000Z - 111200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE SOUTH-CENTRAL PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe thunderstorms are expected through this evening across eastern Colorado and western Kansas into the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles. Large hail and severe wind gusts will be the main threats. ...20z Update... The previous outlook remains on track and no changes have been made with the 20z update. See previous discussion below for more details. ..Leitman.. 09/10/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1138 AM CDT Sun Sep 10 2023/ ...Central High Plains southward to west Texas... A nearly zonal belt of moderately strong westerlies will exist from the central Rockies into the south-central Plains. Weak surface cyclogenesis will occur across southeast Colorado/far southwest Kansas as a cold front shifts southward across the south-central High Plains. A confined plume of modified Gulf air will be maintained across a portion of west Texas into southwest Kansas near and ahead of the front. Robust boundary-layer heating is expected especially to the west/southwest of convection that persists across the region into midday, netting a corridor of moderate buoyancy mainly from northwest Texas into southwest Kansas later today. Afternoon thunderstorm development should be focused within three regimes. One being high-based storms emanating off the southern Rockies, two being along the front and buoyancy plume intersection in west Kansas, and three near the dryline/remnant outflow intersection in the Texas Panhandle. For the latter two, low-level veering of the wind profile with height beneath mid to upper level speed shear should favor at least a few discrete supercells with a primary threat of large hail. Upstream high-based activity should overtake slower-moving supercells and Kansas supercells will also be undercut from north to south by the accelerating cold front. This should yield broader cluster development towards early evening with some uptick in severe wind potential anticipated. ...Southern New England... A weak mid-level disturbance and warm/moist conveyor appears to be influencing a corridor of recently increased thunderstorms at late morning. A moist air mass and cloud breaks/additional heating will lead to modest destabilization, although updraft accelerations will be somewhat tempered by poor mid-level lapse rates. A few microbursts could occur, but overall severe potential should be tempered by the marginal thermodynamic environment and effective shear of 20-25 kt or less. Read more

MD 2126 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN WYOMING INTO FAR SOUTHWESTERN SOUTH DAKOTA AND NORTHWESTERN NEBRASKA PANHANDLE
Mesoscale Discussion 2126 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0519 PM CDT Sat Sep 09 2023 Areas affected...portions of eastern Wyoming into far southwestern South Dakota and northwestern Nebraska Panhandle Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 092219Z - 092345Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...The severe threat may be increasing across portions of the northern High Plains. The strongest storms may produce a few bouts of severe hail or wind. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance may be needed if more widespread convective coverage becomes evident. DISCUSSION...Convective initiation has occurred along the lee of the Rockies in eastern WY while multicells/transient supercells have become established across southwestern SD. The SD storms are expected to remain confined to the more favorable terrain, with a persistent but sparse severe wind/hail threat. However, the storms should intensify and move off of the higher terrain in WY as a weak mid-level impulse crests the synoptic ridge and ejects into the central High Plains. Boundary-layer moisture is meager. However, steep low and mid-level lapse rates are contributing to 1000+ J/kg MLCAPE, which is adequate to support some severe wind/hail with supercells that can develop given elongated hodographs and 40-50 kts of effective bulk shear. Nonetheless, discrete storms and their severe threat should be isolated, so convective trends are being closely monitored for greater storm coverage and the need for a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance. ..Squitieri/Thompson.. 09/09/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
