Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0712 AM CDT Mon Aug 12 2019 Valid 121200Z - 131200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Fire weather concerns will be minimal today. A mid-level trough over the northern Rockies will weaken and eject, leaving behind weaker and more zonally oriented mid-level flow across the CONUS. Mid-level flow will become minimal across dry areas of the western U.S. Outside of areas of locally elevated fire weather in Wyoming and vicinity, the quiet overall pattern indicates that no highlights will be needed for this outlook. ..Cook.. 08/12/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 AM PDT Mon Aug 12 2019

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on recently
upgraded Tropical Storm Henriette, located a few hundred miles
south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula.

An elongated area of showers and thunderstorms located just over
1000 miles southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula is associated with a trough of low pressure. Environmental
conditions are forecast to become more conducive for development
during the next few days, and a tropical depression could form later
this week while the system moves west- northwestward at around 15
mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.

&&
Public Advisories on Tropical Storm Henriette are issued under
WMO header WTPZ34 KNHC and under AWIPS header MIATCPEP4.
Forecast/Advisories on Tropical Storm Henriette are issued

Issued at 300 AM MDT Mon Aug 12 2019 000 WTPZ44 KNHC 120836 TCDEP4 Tropical Storm Henriette Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP092019 300 AM MDT Mon Aug 12 2019 Deep convection has continued to burst over the western portion of the cyclone overnight. Although the system is sheared with the center located near the northeastern edge of the convective mass, a couple of ASCAT passes have shown a very small area of 30-35 kt winds over the northwestern portion of the circulation. These winds extend no more than about 15-20 n mi from the center, but based on these data the initial wind speed has been increased to 35 kt. Henriette becomes the eighth named storm in the eastern Pacific basin this season. The ASCAT data also assisted in locating the center this morning, and recent fixes show that Henriette continues to move west- northwestward or 295/12 kt. The tropical storm should move west-northwestward around the southwestern portion of a deep-layer ridge that extends westward from northern Mexico. As Henriette weakens, it is likely to turn westward within the low-level flow. The updated NHC track forecast is similar to the previous advisory through 36 hours, but has been adjusted southward at 48 hours to be closer to the various consensus aids. Henriette is not anticipated to strengthen much more. Although the system is predicted to remain over warm waters and within an area of light to moderate northeasterly shear today, nearby dry mid-level air is likely to prevent significant strengthening. By Tuesday morning, Henriette will be moving over cooler waters and into a more stable airmass. This should lead to weakening, and the cyclone is predicted to degenerate into a remnant low within 48 hours, with dissipation occurring shortly thereafter.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 300 AM MDT (0900 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Henriette was located near latitude 19.5 North, longitude 110.9 West. Henriette is moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h). A west-northwestward motion with some decrease in forward speed is expected during the next day or two. Satellite wind data indicate that the maximum sustained winds have increased to near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Little change in strength is forecast through tonight. Weakening is expected to begin by Tuesday, and Henriette is predicted to become a remnant low by Tuesday night. Henriette is a small tropical cyclone. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- None. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 900 AM MDT. $$ Forecaster Brown

Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0321 AM CDT Mon Aug 12 2019 Valid 151200Z - 201200Z ...DISCUSSION... Model consensus is that a low-amplitude west northwesterly flow regime with a trough in the east will reside across the northern tier states days 4-5. Upper trough will become established over the Pacific Northwest through northern Rockies days 6-7. Days 4-5 - Though predictability remains low at this range, best chance for a few severe storms will be over the central through northern Plains within a northwesterly flow regime. Here a corridor of modest low-level moisture will reside beneath steep lapse rates resulting in moderate instability. Timing of any embedded shortwave troughs and their accompanying boundaries will be difficult, but potential exists for storms to develop in this regime and spread southeast through the Plains where vertical shear and instability will be sufficient for storm organization.

SPC 0730Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0230 AM CDT Mon Aug 12 2019 Valid 141200Z - 151200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER A PORTION OF THE SOUTHEAST STATES AND CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... A few strong to severe storms with isolated damaging wind will be possible over the southeast states Wednesday afternoon. Isolated strong to severe storms will also be possible over a portion of the central High Plains. ...Synopsis... Trend will be for synoptic upper trough to amplify over the eastern U.S. Wednesday with subtropical high building into the southwestern states. At the start of the period a cold front will stretch from eastern NC southwest through the southeast states into central TX and this boundary will advance slowly southeast during the day. ...Southeast States... Rich low-level moisture with 70s F dewpoints will reside in pre-frontal warm sector supporting moderate to strong instability as the surface layer warms with 2000-3000 J/kg MLCAPE expected. Storms should develop within the weakly capped environment along the front by early afternoon and spread southeast. The moist warm sector will have been shunted well south of the stronger westerlies with weak winds aloft supportive of pulse and multicell storms, possibly evolving into line segments along the front. Isolated downburst winds will be the main threat through early evening. ...Central High Plains... A corridor of low 60s F dewpoints will reside over the central High Plains beneath steep lapse rates supporting 1500-2000 J/kg MLCAPE. This region will remain within a belt of moderate northwesterly winds aloft with 35-45 kt effective bulk shear. Background forcing is expected to remain weak, but isolated storms may develop over the higher terrain and spread southeast as well as along a lee trough. The environment will conditionally support a threat for supercells capable of large hail and downburst winds and have therefore introduced a MRGL risk category. If it begins to appear storm coverage will be greater than currently anticipated, then a SLGT risk might be needed in later outlooks. ..Dial.. 08/12/2019 Read more
