MD 2080 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 666... FOR NORTHWEST AND NORTH-CENTRAL SD...SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL ND
Mesoscale Discussion 2080 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0452 PM CDT Mon Sep 04 2023 Areas affected...northwest and north-central SD...southern and central ND Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 666... Valid 042152Z - 042345Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 666 continues. SUMMARY...Scattered severe gusts are probable across the northeast part of severe thunderstorm watch #666 as a band of storms moves northeastward. A downstream severe thunderstorm watch is expected within the next hour in parts of northern SD and southern ND. Peak gusts with the most intense downdrafts are forecast to range 70-90 mph through 01 UTC (8pm CDT/7pm MDT) over northern SD and southern ND. DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic late this afternoon shows an intensifying band of storms over western SD. Surface analysis ahead of this activity indicates temperatures are in the 95-100 deg F range south of a southwest-northeast oriented surface trough. The airmass where the ongoing storms are located in western SD is adequately moist (mid 50s deg F dewpoints) but relatively dry compared to south-central ND where dewpoints are in the lower 60s. As a result, PW increases from southwest to northeast. This increase in moisture will probably result in both storms moving in a more favorable environment of buoyancy and moisture for evaporatively cooled downdrafts. It appears the most intense phase of the developing squall line will commence over the next few hours as storms move into northern SD and into southern ND. The negatively tilted mid-level shortwave trough over WY will continue to pivot eastward towards the Dakotas this evening. The combination of very steep low to mid-level lapse rates, a linear storm mode, and appreciable large-scale forcing for ascent will favor scattered severe gusts through the evening across the Dakotas with the squall line. Peak gusts are forecast to range from 70-90 mph. ..Smith.. 09/04/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...FGF...ABR...BIS...UNR...

Tropical Depression Eleven-E Forecast Discussion Number 1

2 years ago
Issued at 400 PM CDT Mon Sep 04 2023 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 042037 TCDEP1 Tropical Depression Eleven-E Discussion Number 1 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112023 400 PM CDT Mon Sep 04 2023 Recent visible satellite imagery indicates that the disturbance located south of the southwestern coast of Mexico (93E) has developed a well-defined circulation. In addition, a prominent band of deep convection has formed around its western half. The latest Dvorak classification Data-T from TAFB is a 2.0, which corresponds to 30 kt. Based on the available data, the system has been classified as Tropical Depression Eleven. The depression is moving westward, with an estimated forward speed of 10 kt. While all models agree that the cyclone will head generally west-northwestward for the next 5 or more days, moving well south and west of Mexico, there is substantial disagreement on its forward speed. The main source of this uncertainty appears to be differences in the strength of the primary steering mechanism influencing the depression, a deep ridge centered over northern Mexico and the southwestern U.S. that extends over the eastern Pacific. The stronger the ridge, the faster the cyclone will move. The uncertainty in the track forecast is much higher than normal by the end of the forecast, with even the consensus models relatively far apart. At day 5, the gap between HCCA and TVCN is more than 150 n mi. As a course of least regret, the NHC forecast doesn't favor any one model or consensus aid, generally staying between the simple and corrected consensus tracks. The environment looks very conducive for strengthening, possibly significantly so. SHIPS-derived shear is forecast to be near or below 10 kt through day 5, with plenty of moisture and warm SSTs available as well. It will likely take a day or so for the depression to get sufficiently organized to take advantage of this environment, so only slow strengthening is forecast for the first 24 h. Looking beyond that, the SHIPS-RII and DTOPS rapid intensification (RI) probabilities for 65kt/72 h are both above 60 percent. The NHC forecast explicitly shows RI starting at 36 h and continuing through 72 h. While there is spread at just how strong the cyclone will get, most models suggest its peak will come between 72 and 96 h, so a peak intensity higher than what the NHC forecast shows is definitely possible. Beginning at 96 h, the cyclone should begin to quickly spin down as it moves over cooler waters.

SPC 2000Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0300 PM CDT Mon Sep 04 2023 Valid 042000Z - 051200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS/NORTHERN AND CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe wind gusts and large hail remain possible over parts of the northern Plains this afternoon and evening, particularly from parts of eastern Wyoming to the Dakotas. ...Discussion... Little change appears necessary to the ongoing outlook at this time, as the convective scenario across the U.S. continues to largely evolve as expected. The primary change has been to extend severe risk southward across more of the central High Plains region. Here, scant low-level moisture and limited CAPE, but a dry sub-cloud layer may support gusty/isolated damaging wind gusts where storms are currently developing. ..Goss.. 09/04/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1141 AM CDT Mon Sep 04 2023/ ...Northern Plains... An upper trough over the Intermountain West/north-central Rockies will continue northeastward toward the Dakotas, with thunderstorms expected to increase near/behind an advancing cold front this afternoon, initially across interior/eastern portions of Wyoming and far southeast Montana. Strengthening winds aloft, steep lapse rates, and modest overall buoyancy will support high-based storms capable of large hail and strong wind gusts. Storms will likely further increase, aggregate, and grow upscale into northeast Wyoming/western South Dakota and eventually North Dakota this evening, with the potential for severe-caliber wind gusts expected to steadily increase accordingly. This also includes some potential for significant wind gusts (65+ kt). ...Ozarks/Mid-South... Widely scattered to scattered, multicellular thunderstorms are expected to increase across the region this afternoon with the potential for localized wind damage, and possibly some sporadic hail near severe limits. This will be as the upper low transitions northeastward toward the region and interfaces with a moderately to strongly unstable boundary layer, with moderately strong winds aloft (25-30 kt at 500 mb? likely contributing to some semi-sustained multicells. Any such severe risk should diminish by around sunset. Read more

An upper trough over the Intermountain West/north-central Rockies will continue northeastward toward the Dakotas, with thunderstorms expected to increase near/behind an advancing cold front this afternoon, initially across interior/eastern portions of Wyoming and far southeast Montana. Strengthening winds aloft, steep lapse rates, and modest overall buoyancy will support high-based storms capable of large hail and strong wind gusts. Storms will likely further increase, aggregate, and grow upscale into northeast Wyoming/western South Dakota and eventually North Dakota this evening, with the potential for severe-caliber wind gusts expected to steadily increase accordingly. This also includes some potential for significant wind gusts (65+ kt). ...Ozarks/Mid-South... Widely scattered to scattered, multicellular thunderstorms are expected to increase across the region this afternoon with the potential for localized wind damage, and possibly some sporadic hail near severe limits. This will be as the upper low transitions northeastward toward the region and interfaces with a moderately to strongly unstable boundary layer, with moderately strong winds aloft (25-30 kt at 500 mb? likely contributing to some semi-sustained multicells. Any such severe risk should diminish by around sunset. Read more

SPC 2000Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0300 PM CDT Mon Sep 04 2023 Valid 042000Z - 051200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHERN PLAINS/NORTHERN AND CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe wind gusts and large hail remain possible over parts of the northern Plains this afternoon and evening, particularly from parts of eastern Wyoming to the Dakotas. ...Discussion... Little change appears necessary to the ongoing outlook at this time, as the convective scenario across the U.S. continues to largely evolve as expected. The primary change has been to extend severe risk southward across more of the central High Plains region. Here, scant low-level moisture and limited CAPE, but a dry sub-cloud layer may support gusty/isolated damaging wind gusts where storms are currently developing. ..Goss.. 09/04/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1141 AM CDT Mon Sep 04 2023/ ...Northern Plains...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0216 PM CDT Mon Sep 04 2023 Valid 061200Z - 121200Z The potential for critical fire weather conditions appears low through the extended period. Long-range guidance continues to show a building upper ridge over northern Mexico and into the Southwest region through the mid/late week period, which will maintain warm and dry conditions from west TX to the Four Corners. There is a signal in ensemble guidance for 15-25 mph winds across the greater Four Corners region D3/Wednesday into D4/Thursday as a shortwave trough passes through the Pacific Northwest and augments the regional pressure gradient. However, recent reports and ERC analyses indicate fuels are not currently receptive and may require multiple days of drying before supporting a fire weather concern. Across the Plains where fuels are currently dry, ensemble clusters show a reasonably good signal for increasing rain chances across the Plains starting D5/Friday into early next week. While some areas may remain dry, the potential for wetting rain over the broader region limits confidence in the overall fire weather threat at this range. ..Moore.. 09/04/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
