SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1129 AM CDT Tue Jul 19 2022 Valid 191630Z - 201200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES REGIONS... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorm gusts and large hail are expected over portions of the Upper Midwest and upper Great Lakes regions. ...Synopsis... A compact upper wave is evident in mid-morning water vapor imagery translating eastward across North Dakota. This feature will continue east into the Great Lakes region through 12 UTC Wednesday, and will be the focus for severe weather potential for today. A weakening upper disturbance over the eastern U.S. will continue to lift northeast into the western Atlantic, but residual influences from this wave will support lower severe probabilities across the Northeast and Southeast states this afternoon. Across the Southwest, hot and dry conditions prevail under a Four Corners ridge, though widespread monsoonal moisture will continue to support scattered thunderstorm chances with the potential for damaging downbursts for a couple of regions. ...Upper Midwest/Great Lakes... Surface analysis reveals a deepening surface low across the northern Red River Valley of the North with a cold front advancing east across the eastern Dakotas. Ahead of this front, temperatures are warming into the low 80s with widespread dewpoints in the upper 60s and low 70s. While this air mass is undergoing some destabilization, strong capping sampled in the 12 UTC ABR and MPX soundings will likely limit the potential for open warm sector convection. Thunderstorm development is more likely along the diffuse warm frontal zone that is currently draped across northern MN into western WI and where capping diminishes with eastward extent (per the 12 UTC INL and APX soundings). Evidence of strong lift is already evident across northern MN in satellite imagery with thunderstorm initiation likely by late afternoon as lingering inhibition is minimized. Deep-layer flow largely orthogonal to the boundary combined with strong ascent should support semi-discrete storm modes posing primarily a severe hail/wind risk. Storms along the front will continue eastward towards northern lower MI and the U.P. of MI overnight. While convection may become elevated due to diurnal cooling, forecast soundings show adequate MUCAPE and effective shear to maintain a hail, and perhaps damaging wind, threat. ...Northeast... Morning soundings across the region show poor mid-level lapse rates with evidence of low/mid-level stability evident in visible satellite imagery. However, upstream soundings from southeast Canada reveal much colder temperatures aloft, which should advect east through the day as the upper-level low shifts east/northeast. These cooling temperatures, combined with diurnal insolation and a nearly uni-directional wind profile featuring 30-40 knot winds will support a conditionally favorable environment for organized severe storms. While this favorable environment is noted, storm coverage remains uncertain. Thunderstorm development is possible by mid/late afternoon as a weak surface trough, currently just northwest of the international border, moves across the region. However, latest guidance continues to show sparse storm coverage, likely owing to the weak forcing for ascent. Recent downward convective trends of ongoing storms north of ME also limits confidence in storm coverage. Consequently, the potential for a more widespread severe threat appears too limited for a categorical upgrade. ...Southeast... The southern extension of the East Coast upper trough will continue to drift east towards the Atlantic Coast through the day. This will continue to provide lift across far eastern AL, GA, and the Carolinas over an air mass that is currently destabilizing under partly cloudy skies (with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s with rich low-level moisture). The combination of adequate buoyancy, sufficient lift, and modest upper-level flow should support a few strong to severe storms with a predominantly damaging wind risk (though sporadic severe hail is possible with the stronger updrafts). ...Southern High Plains... A deep, dry boundary layer are noted across the southern High Plains on the edge of the monsoonal moisture plume. By late afternoon, adequate mid-level moisture should support sufficient buoyancy for isolated to scattered thunderstorms. With inverted-V signatures noted in forecast soundings and a modest convective signal in most CAM guidance, the potential for strong to severe downburst winds appears sufficient to introduce wind probabilities. ...Southeast Arizona... A weak surface low over southern AZ is noted in morning surface obs. This feature should maintain weak south to southwesterly flow across southeast AZ through the day under modest easterly flow aloft. This should support 20-30 knots of 0-6 km shear through the day, which will aid in storm organization as convection develops off the terrain of the Mongolon Rim and western Gila region this afternoon. Similar to the southern High Plains, inverted-V low-level profiles are noted in forecast soundings, which, when combined with the slightly sheared environment, should support a few stronger storms with severe wind potential. ..Moore/Hart.. 07/19/2022 Read more

Tropical Storm Estelle Forecast Discussion Number 17

3 years 1 month ago
Issued at 800 AM PDT Tue Jul 19 2022 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 191443 TCDEP1 Tropical Storm Estelle Discussion Number 17 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP062022 800 AM PDT Tue Jul 19 2022 Estelle remains quite disorganized this morning, with most of the fragmented convection over the eastern semicircle of the circulation. The storm center passed just north of Clarion Island where an automated Mexican Navy weather station measured winds near tropical-storm-force strength. The central pressure of Estelle was adjusted slightly lower based on the reported observations. Dvorak intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB ranged from 65 kt to 45 kt, respectively and the initial intensity is held at 55 kt to represent a blend of the classifications. A gradual weakening trend is expected to continue through the forecast period. While the vertical wind shear is not expected to be strong, the center of Estelle is now crossing over sea surface temperatures cooler than 26 degrees C and into a drier, more stable air mass. These atmospheric and oceanic conditions will make it difficult for the storm to retain or develop organized deep convection. This should result in a gradual spindown of the circulation. The official intensity forecast follows the multi-model consensus guidance and now predicts Estelle to become a post-tropical cyclone in a couple of days. The track philosophy is unchanged. Estelle is moving west-northwestward at 10 kt and is following the steering currents of a mid-level ridge to its north-northeast. This motion is predicted to continue for the next couple of days until the storm becomes a remnant low and turns westward in the low-level trade winds. The NHC track forecast is quite similar to the previous advisory and close to the consensus aids.

Arkansas governor seeking drought disaster declaration for state

3 years 1 month ago
Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson is seeking a drought disaster declaration for the entire state. He mentions the U.S. Drought Monitor’s July 14 release and the expected above average temperatures and little chance of precipitation over the next eight to 14 days. Farmers were not seeing the hay growth that they need for their livestock. Row crops needed irrigation, adding to farmers’ costs and stressing irrigation equipment. The fire danger was also high with 53 of the state’s 75 counties enacting burn bans. A military exercise sparked a wildfire that burned 20 acres in Sebastian County.

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1223 PM CDT Mon Jul 18 2022 Valid 191200Z - 201200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR NORTHEAST ND...NORTHERN MN...WESTERN UPPER MI...CENTRAL/NORTHERN WI... ...SUMMARY... Widely scattered severe thunderstorms are possible on Tuesday and Tuesday night over portions of the Upper Midwest into parts of Wisconsin and upper Michigan. Severe gusts and large hail appear to be the primary hazards. ...Synopsis... A strong mid/upper-level trough will move from the northern High Plains into the Great Lakes region on Tuesday into Tuesday night. In conjunction with this trough, a surface low will deepen and move from northern MN toward Lake Superior, as an attendant cold front sweeps through the northern and central Great Plains. Downstream, a an upper trough will gradually move eastward across the Northeast and New England, while a weaker upper trough will move from the southern Appalachians toward the Carolinas. Elsewhere, an upper ridge will persist from the Southwest into the southern Plains. ...Upper Midwest/Great Lakes... One or more storm clusters may be ongoing Tuesday morning from northeast ND into northern MN, which could pose a threat of isolated hail and/or damaging wind early in the forecast period. This convection will likely leave a remnant outflow boundary somewhere over northern MN by late morning into the afternoon. Moderate destabilization is expected during the afternoon along/south of any outflow boundary and along/east of the cold front. Rather strong midlevel flow associated with the approaching mid/upper-level trough will support effective shear of 30-40 kt, resulting in a conditionally favorable severe thunderstorm environment across the region by mid/late afternoon. Despite having a seasonably strong synoptic system moving into the region, 12Z guidance continues to be relatively muted in terms of robust storm development along the cold front through much of the day, likely due to the presence of an initially strong capping inversion across the warm sector, and a tendency for the strongest ascent to lag behind the front. Redevelopment of storms during the afternoon appears most likely near/north of the remnant outflow boundary across northern MN, with more isolated development possible southward along the cold front into parts of WI and upper MI by early evening. The strongest cells/clusters will be capable of producing hail and damaging wind gusts. ...Northern New England... A notable midlevel shortwave embedded within the larger-scale trough is forecast to move across northern New England during the day on Tuesday. Low-level flow will become veered as a surface low departs the region during the morning, but residual low-level moisture will support moderate destabilization (MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg) in conjunction with peak heating. Midlevel drying and weak surface convergence may limit storm coverage across the region, but moderate midlevel flow and deep-layer shear will support the potential for isolated cells/clusters capable of locally damaging wind gusts and possibly some hail. ...Southeast CO into the southern High Plains... Convection is expected to develop across the higher terrain of central/southern CO and northern NM during the afternoon. As this convection spreads into the increasingly hot lower elevations, strong to locally severe outflow gusts will be possible. Isolated high-based storms with gusty winds also cannot be ruled out near a weak front across the OK/TX Panhandles, though this scenario remains too uncertain for wind probabilities at this time. ..Dean.. 07/18/2022 Read more
