WW 630 SEVERE TSTM AZ 012235Z - 020600Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 630 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 335 PM MST Sun Sep 1 2019 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Central and western Arizona * Effective this Sunday afternoon and evening from 335 PM until 1100 PM MST. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible SUMMARY...Although isolated strong-severe storms already are occurring, the potential is increasing for one or two organized clusters to grow and send damaging to severe gusts westward across the deserts. The main threat area will be from that part of Pima County west of Tucson, northward across central Arizona, and the southern part of the I-17 corridor, westward to near the Colorado River. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 105 statute miles east and west of a line from Prescott AZ to 75 miles south of Gila Bend AZ. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes. && AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1 inch. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean storm motion vector 09035. ...Edwards Read more

Tropical Storm Juliette Forecast Discussion Number 4

5 years 10 months ago
Issued at 900 PM MDT Sun Sep 01 2019 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 020241 TCDEP1 Tropical Storm Juliette Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112019 900 PM MDT Sun Sep 01 2019 Although there has been some new deep bursts of convection near the center of circulation this evening, the banding features still remain quite fragmented. The subjective Dvorak intensity estimates, as well as a recent UW-CIMSS SATCON analysis, support holding the initial intensity at 50 kt for this advisory. Juliette is expected to intensify at a near climatological rate during the next 48 hours, indicative of low deep-layer shear, a moist mid-level atmosphere, and warm oceanic sea surface temperatures. After 72 hours, Juliette will be moving over decreasing SSTs, and into a high statically stable marine layer air mass which should induce gradual weakening. The NHC forecast follows suit and is based on a blend of the NOAA HFIP HCCA and the IVCN multi-model intensity guidance. The initial motion is estimated to be west-northwestward, or 300/11 kt within the east-southeasterly steering flow produced by a mid-tropospheric ridge extending over the northeastern Pacific from the southwestern United States. The cyclone should continue moving west-northwestward through the forecast period with some reduction in forward speed during the next 48 hours. Beyond that time, the cross-track spread of the model guidance increases in response to large-scale synoptic differences in the strength of the subtropical ridge. The ECMWF and the Canadian still indicate the cyclone turning westward due to strengthening of the subtropical ridge, while the GFS, HWRF, and the UKMET reflect less ridging, and induce a more northwestward track. The new official forecast is nudged south of the previous forecast and lies between the TVCE consensus and the ECMWF global.

Scattered severe wind gusts are likely across parts of central and southern Arizona this evening. A few strong to severe storms remain possible over western Pennsylvania through mid evening and over the central and northern Plains later tonight. ...Central and southern Arizona... Easterly deep-layer winds along southern periphery of an upper ridge have promoted storms that developed over the mountains of southeast AZ moving westward into the desert valleys. Tendency has been for storms to evolve into multicell clusters. Deep, inverted-V well-mixed boundary layers as indicated by the 00Z RAOB data will continue to promote scattered damaging wind gusts as storms continue westward this evening. ...Western Pennsylvania... A cluster of storms continues through western PA in association with a low-amplitude shortwave trough. The 00Z Pittsburgh RAOB indicates around 1500 J/kg MLCAPE and 160 m2/s2 0-1 km storm-relative helicity, but modest effective bulk shear. This environment may continue to support a marginal risk for locally strong wind gusts and perhaps a brief tornado with transient supercell structures before weakening toward mid evening. ...Central through northern Plains... Isolated storms remain possible later tonight within zone of increasing warm advection and isentropic ascent as the low-level jet strengthens and interacts with baroclinic zone across the central and northern Plains. These storms will be elevated, but moderate MUCAPE and 35-40 kt effective bulk shear will support mid-level updraft rotation along with a risk for a few instances of hail and locally strong wind gusts. ..Dial.. 09/02/2019 Read more

MD 1909 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 630... FOR SOUTHEAST CALIFORNIA...SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL ARIZONA
Mesoscale Discussion 1909 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0725 PM CDT Sun Sep 01 2019 Areas affected...Southeast California...Southwest and Central Arizona Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 630... Valid 020025Z - 020230Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 630 continues. SUMMARY...A wind-damage threat will continue across central and western parts of WW 630 over the next several hours. DISCUSSION...The latest radar imagery across southern and central Arizona shows a couple of areas of strong thunderstorms. The first is located between the Flagstaff and Phoenix area with the second to the southwest of the Phoenix near the Arizona-Mexico border. The RAP is analyzing moderate instability across the southern half of Arizona with the strongest instability located in southwestern Arizona where MLCAPE values are estimated near 2500 J/kg. The wind profile is from the east with 20 to 25 kt of flow near 500 mb as evidenced on the Tuscon 00Z sounding. This combined with hot surface temperatures and a nearly dry adiabatic layer from the surface to 700 mb should promote isolated damaging wind gusts with the stronger multicells. ..Broyles.. 09/02/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 1908 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0626 PM CDT Sun Sep 01 2019 Areas affected...Parts of eastern Ohio...western Pennsylvania...far southwest New York Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 012326Z - 020100Z Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent SUMMARY...A brief increase in convective coverage and perhaps intensity may occur over the next few hours. The stronger storms may produce isolated damaging wind gusts, marginally severe hail, and possibly a brief tornado. The isolated nature of the risk precludes a WW issuance. DISCUSSION...Scattered storms have been developing for much of the afternoon along a axis of a passing mid-level shortwave trough. Recently, mosaic radar and lightning trends have depicted a slight uptick in convective coverage and intensity. Recent CAM guidance also depicts a short-lived increase in storm coverage along the OH/PA/NY borders, before weakening in association with nocturnal cooling. Should storms organize and mature further, modest but adequate buoyancy (1000 J/kg MLCAPE, or 2000 J/kg MUCAPE) and deep-layer shear (30 knots bulk-effective shear) suggest that multicellular and transient supercellular structures may be achieved, with isolated, marginally severe hail and wind gusts possible. In addition, low-level speed and directional shear are present, with modest veering in the sfc-850 mb layer contributing to sickle-shaped hodographs and corresponding 150-200 m2/s2 effective SRH (per latest RAP forecast soundings), especially in western Pennsylvania. As such, a brief tornado cannot be ruled out in the near term, despite the slowly stabilizing environment. Nonetheless, given the expected isolated nature of the severe threat, a WW issuance is not anticipated. ..Squitieri/Edwards.. 09/01/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 630 SEVERE TSTM AZ 012235Z - 020600Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 630 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 335 PM MST Sun Sep 1 2019 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Central and western Arizona * Effective this Sunday afternoon and evening from 335 PM until 1100 PM MST. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible SUMMARY...Although isolated strong-severe storms already are occurring, the potential is increasing for one or two organized clusters to grow and send damaging to severe gusts westward across the deserts. The main threat area will be from that part of Pima County west of Tucson, northward across central Arizona, and the southern part of the I-17 corridor, westward to near the Colorado River. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 105 statute miles east and west of a line from Prescott AZ to 75 miles south of Gila Bend AZ. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes. && AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1 inch. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots.

Organized storms may pose a large hail and damaging wind threat. The very isolated coverage suggests that a WW issuance is not currently warranted. DISCUSSION...Isolated strong to severe storms have developed in Custer County, MT over the past hour or so, despite convection failing to become sustained earlier along the buoyancy axis (mainly along the WY/SD border). Peak afternoon heating and weak vertical ascent associated with a weak vorticity max cresting the ridge in western ND are supporting this more recent, successful attempt at convection. Should this storm or any other cell become established across the discussion area, ample instability (1500+ J/kg MLCAPE) and deep-layer shear (around 50 knots of bulk effective shear) is in place to foster the development of highly organized multicellular clusters or perhaps supercells. Given relatively steep mid-level lapse rates (7+ C/km), and potential for mid-level rotation, some of the more organized cells may produce large hail in addition to damaging wind gusts. Nonetheless, deep-layer ascent is quite weak across the area (as supported by the 12Z HREF and the last several runs of the HRRR), with low confidence in a substantial increase in convective coverage through the early evening hours. As such, a WW issuance is not anticipated. ..Squitieri/Edwards.. 09/01/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...BIS...LBF...UNR...CYS...BYZ...
