Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1230 PM CDT Sat Jul 30 2022 Valid 311200Z - 011200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MINNESOTA/WESTERN WISCONSIN... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms will be possible across parts of Minnesota and western Wisconsin Sunday afternoon and evening. Other more isolated severe storms could also occur across parts of the Carolinas and central Plains. ...Minnesota/western Wisconsin... Have introduced a categorical Slight Risk for parts of the region. A clipper-type shortwave trough will spread southeastward over the region amidst amplifying westerlies over the Dakotas/Upper Midwest through Sunday night. Scattered thunderstorm development seems probable near a southeastward-moving front across Minnesota Sunday afternoon. A favorable colocation of moderate buoyancy (2000+ J/kg MLCAPE) and effective shear (40 kt) is expected particularly across the southern half of Minnesota. This could support some initial supercells, with storms likely to subsequently merge and potentially grown upscale during the evening across southeast Minnesota toward western Wisconsin. Large hail and damaging winds should be the primary hazards. ...Nebraska/western Iowa... The region will be influenced by the southern periphery of the amplifying shortwave trough over the Dakotas/Upper Midwest. Heating/convergence near the southeastward-moving front (and pre-frontal trough) should be conducive for at least isolated thunderstorm development Sunday late afternoon/early evening, some of which could produce hail and/or severe-caliber wind gusts. ...Carolinas/southern Appalachians... The persistent/convectively reinforced front across the region may transition a bit northward into Sunday, with a moist airmass remaining near the boundary and to its south. Although the details of destabilization and preferred corridors of more appreciable thunderstorm development are a bit uncertain, it currently appears that destabilization will be regionally maximized across the Carolinas. This should coincide with a modestly enhanced belt of westerlies aloft. Some of the stronger updrafts/downdrafts could produce wet microbursts capable of localized wind damage Sunday afternoon through early evening. ...Southern Arizona/Lower Colorado River Valley... The southern CONUS upper ridge should build a bit westward toward the region on Sunday, with some potential for a further enhancement to east-southeasterly mid-level winds particularly across southern Arizona. Some questions exist regarding the lingering influence/cloud cover of thunderstorms from later today and tonight into Sunday. However, if confidence increases in boundary layer recovery/destabilization, microburst-related severe wind probabilities could be warranted in later outlooks. ..Guyer.. 07/30/2022 Read more

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1138 AM CDT Sat Jul 30 2022 Valid 301700Z - 311200Z Expanded the IsoDryT delineation slightly farther north in Oregon and a bit farther south across northern California based on morning forecast soundings and CAM guidance. Otherwise, no changes were necessary. See previous discussion below. ..Bentley.. 07/30/2022 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0146 AM CDT Sat Jul 30 2022/ ...Synopsis... An upper ridge will persist across the western U.S. through the day today, with a mid-level impulse expected to pivot around the ridge over the northern Rockies. The mid-level impulse will support dry and breezy surface conditions across eastern Montana during the afternoon, where fuels are becoming receptive to wildfire spread, necessitating the addition of Elevated highlights. Meanwhile, upslope flow of a marginally unstable airmass along the southern Cascades may support isolated high-based thunderstorm development during the afternoon. Fuels continue to efficiently dry in this area, supporting lightning ignition potential and warranting the addition of isolated dry thunderstorm highlights. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1100 AM CDT Sat Jul 30 2022 Valid 301630Z - 311200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN MONTANA AND THE DAKOTAS... ...SUMMARY... Isolated damaging gusts and large hail may occur this afternoon into tonight across northeastern Montana into central North/South Dakota. ...Northern Plains... A shortwave trough along the northern periphery of a western US mid-level anticyclone will move out of southern Canada across portions of northern MT and ND late this afternoon and evening. At the surface, a lee trough will develop ahead of the emerging shortwave, drawing low 60s F surface dewpoints north across the Dakotas. Strong heating and mixing of the airmass along the surface trough may support isolated storms this afternoon. While generally less than 25 kt, effective shear may favor organized multi-cell clusters with an isolated risk for damaging wind gusts and or hail. Overall confidence in severe coverage is low, but the highest likelihood of severe wind/hail within this regime will be from southern ND into central SD where hi-res guidance does show some convective signal. As the main shortwave emerges later in the evening, a cold front and associated surface low will move from southern SK into northeastern MT and far western ND. While poorly timed with the diurnal cycle, strong frontal convergence may still support isolated storms along and behind the front where low 60s F surface dewpoints should pool. 500-1000 J/kg of MUCAPE and 30-40kt of effective shear may allow some storm organization with the potential for damaging wind gusts and or severe hail. However, uncertainty on severe potential/coverage remains high given the poor timing of the main shortwave and the anafrontal nature of any convection that can develop. ...Southern US... Evident on morning visible imagery, a weak quasi stationary front will serve as a focus for another day of diurnal thunderstorms from the southern Plains into the southeastern US. Warm and moist through much of the lower atmosphere along and south of the boundary, the weakly sheared airmass will support scattered to numerous thunderstorms from eastern OK to the Carolinas. While an occasional gust may occur with any more concentrated storm clusters, overall predictability remains too low for the inclusion of severe probabilities. ..Lyons/Grams.. 07/30/2022 Read more

Issued at 800 AM PDT Sat Jul 30 2022 834 WTPZ43 KNHC 301437 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Georgette Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP082022 800 AM PDT Sat Jul 30 2022 The structure of Georgette continues to show evidence of northeasterly shear, with most of the convective activity occurring southwest of the estimated center. Persistent convection near the center of the storm, as well as subjective and objective Dvorak estimates from SAB, TAFB, and UW-CIMSS, continue to support an initial intensity of 45 kt, consistent with the prior advisory. The mid-level ridge to the west of Hurricane Frank continues to steer the tropical storm west-southwestward, with a current estimated motion of 255/9 kt. This motion is expected to continue during the day today, after which the steering currents are expected to weaken, resulting in a slower forward motion during the next couple days. By 72 hours, Georgette is expected to begin moving northeastward under the influence of southwesterly steering flow. The track guidance diverges significantly after 36 hours, with many of the consensus aids indicating a delayed turn toward the north or northeast compared to the previous official forecast. The official forecast track is shifted westward from the previous NHC forecast and represents a blend of the HCCA and the previous forecast. The combined influences of east-northeasterly vertical shear and the proximity to Hurricane Frank are expected to limit the intensification of Georgette during the next several days. The intensity is forecast to hold steady during the next day or so, with gradual weakening expected thereafter before dissipating after 96 hours. The official intensity forecast is similar to the prior forecast and aligned with the consensus aids.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 800 AM PDT (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Georgette was located near latitude 14.0 North, longitude 126.8 West. Georgette is moving toward the west-southwest near 9 mph (15 km/h). The storm is forecast to move on a similar heading at a slower forward speed for the next day or so. After that, Georgette's forward movement should slow further, resulting in a meandering motion through the remainder of the weekend. A turn toward the northeast is expected by early next week. Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next day or so, with gradual weakening anticipated after that. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 999 mb (29.50 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- None.

...SMALL GEORGETTE EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS... As of 8:00 AM PDT Sat Jul 30 the center of Georgette was located near 14.0, -126.8 with movement WSW at 9 mph. The minimum central pressure was 999 mb with maximum sustained winds of about 50 mph.

Issued at 800 AM PDT Sat Jul 30 2022 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 301436 TCDEP2 Hurricane Frank Discussion Number 18 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072022 800 AM PDT Sat Jul 30 2022 Frank has changed little in organization since the last advisory. The hurricane continues to produce bands of cold deep convection near the center, but an eye is not currently apparent. Since the various satellite intensity estimates are also basically unchanged, the initial intensity remains set at 80 kt. The hurricane continues to have excellent cirrus outflow in all directions except the southwest. Frank is running out of time to intensify, as it is now passing over the 28C sea surface temperature isotherm and will reach waters of 26C in about 24 h. The guidance indicates that some strengthening is possible during the next 12 h, although the chances of rapid intensification have diminished. Thus, the intensity forecast now calls for a 90-kt peak intensity in 12 h, which is at the upper edge of the guidance. After 24 h, the cyclone should move over progressively cooler water, reaching 21C SSTs in about 96 h. This should lead to a steady weakening, and Frank is expected to degenerate to a remnant low by 96 h. It should be noted that near the end of the forecast period, the GFS model shows some rejuvenation of convection as the post-tropical cyclone interacts with an upper-level trough to its northwest. Frank continues moving northwestward or 310/10 kt, and there is little change to the track forecast scenario. The cyclone should continue on a northwestward track for most of the forecast period while it moves along the southwestern periphery of a large mid-level ridge toward a developing break in the ridge west of California. The track guidance shifted a little to the north and east at 96 and 120 h, and thus the new forecast track is also nudged in that direction at those times. Otherwise, it is an update of the previous forecast and lies close to the consensus models.
