SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:
A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for...
* San Blas to Topolobampo
* Islas Marias
A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for...
* Topolobampo to Guaymas
A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case within the
next 12 hours for the Islas Marias, and within 24 to 36 hours
elsewhere in the warning area.
A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are
possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours.
For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 100 AM CDT (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Depression Narda
was located near latitude 21.0 North, longitude 105.8 West. The
depression is moving toward the northwest near 18 mph (30 km/h), and
this motion is expected to continue with some decrease in forward
speed during the next couple of days. On the forecast track, the
center of Narda will move near or over the Islas Marias archipelago
in a few hours. Narda is then forecast to move over the Gulf of
California near or just offshore the coast of northwestern mainland
Mexico through Tuesday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 35 mph (55 km/h) with higher
gusts. Slow strengthening is forecast, and Narda is expected to
become a tropical storm again later this morning.
The estimated minimum central pressure based on nearby surface
observations is 1001 mb (29.56 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
WIND: Tropical storm conditions should soon begin in the Islas
Marias, and will spread northward over the remainder of
the Tropical Storm Warning area later today and Tuesday.
RAINFALL: Narda is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
5 to 10 inches along the southwestern coast of Mexico from Guerrero
to Nayarit, and 1 to 4 inches over Baja California Sur through
Monday night. Isolated maximum amounts of 15 inches are possible
from Oaxaca to Nayarit. This rainfall will cause life-threatening
flash floods and mudslides, especially in mountainous terrain.
SURF: Swells generated by Narda are affecting portions of the coast
of southwestern Mexico. These swells are expected to spread
northward and will likely cause life-threatening surf and rip
current conditions along the west coast of mainland Mexico, along
the east coast of Baja California Sur, and in the Islas Marias
archipelago. Please consult products from your local weather
office.

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 PM PDT Sun Sep 29 2019
For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Depression Narda, located near the southwest coast of Mexico.
An area of low pressure is expected to form over the far
southwestern portion of the eastern North Pacific early this week.
Some gradual development is possible thereafter while the system
drifts slowly eastward or northeastward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...low...20 percent.
Intensifying drought conditions led to numerous burn bans in southern Indiana, meaning that traditional fall bonfires and other outdoor fires were prohibited.
Louisville Courier-Journal (Ky.), Sept. 28, 2019
One hundred counties in Kentucky had bans on outdoor burning, due to drought.
Louisville Courier-Journal (Ky.), Sept. 30, 2019
As drought persisted in Kentucky, 71 counties banned open burning to reduce the likelihood of wildfires.
WKMS-FM 91.3 News for the Four Rivers Region (Murray, Ky.), Sept. 23, 2019
More than 50 Kentucky counties have restrictions on outdoor burning as the lack of rain increased the forest fire danger.
WKYT-TV CBS 27 Lexington (Ky.), Sept. 18, 2019
Several Kentucky counties enacted bans on outdoor burning as moderate drought conditions and an uptick in forest fires warranted the fire restrictions. Officials in Jackson County issued a ban on Sept. 15. Bans were enacted in Floyd, Johnson, Knox, Laurel, Lee, Lincoln, Magoffin, Pike and Whitley counties on Sept. 16. A ban took effect in Barren County on Sept. 17. The bans will be rescinded when the fire danger abates.

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 667...
Valid 300411Z - 300615Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 667
continues.
SUMMARY...Local risk for large hail continues with isolated severe
storms.
DISCUSSION...Radar loop shows isolated thunderstorms -- particularly
over the northwestern corner of South Dakota, advancing
northeastward with time. The storms are elevated above a
cool/stable boundary layer, north of a warm front near the Nebraska
Panhandle/South Dakota border.
Evening RAP RAOB, and area model forecast soundings, reveal
substantial elevated CAPE, while strong southwesterly flow aloft
remains supportive of supercells. Several reports of hail in excess
of severe thresholds have been received, with this risk likely to
continue into the overnight hours.

Hurricane Lorenzo Discussion Number 31
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL132019
1100 PM AST Sun Sep 29 2019
There haven't been a lot of changes with Lorenzo this evening, with
a small cloud-filled eye remaining visible and an enormous cloud
shield expanding in the northern semicircle. Satellite intensity
estimates support a somewhat lower intensity than the previous
advisory, so the initial wind speed is set to 95 kt. It should be
emphasized that even though the peak winds are down since yesterday,
the area of the hurricane-force winds has more than doubled during
that time.
Earlier aircraft data indicated that the large hurricane is
upwelling a significant amount of cooler waters under the storm, and
this is anticipated to cause Lorenzo to slowly weaken during the
next couple of days. While the SSTs drop off considerably after
late tomorrow, which would normally cause faster weakening, most of
the guidance is showing a favorable trough interaction at that time
with strong upper-level divergence. These effects are expected to
offset, and Lorenzo is likely to be a category 1 or 2 hurricane near
the Azores. Little change was made to the previous forecast, except
to raise the intensity a little higher near the Azores after more
heavily weighting the global models, which have been good performers
for this cyclone. The guidance is in very good agreement on Lorenzo
becoming an extratropical cyclone in about 72 hours, and that is
reflected in the latest forecast.
Lorenzo continues north-northeastward at 9 kt through a break in the
subtropical ridge. The forecast track confidence remains very high
through 48 hours as the hurricane is accelerated toward the
northeast ahead of a mid-latitude trough, and the new forecast is
essentially an update of the previous one. After that time,
however, there is a very large spread in the guidance caused by
whether Lorenzo is captured by the mid-latitude trough or if it
remains separate. There isn't much change in the newest guidance,
although it should be noted that the 12Z ECMWF solution is pretty
far east of its ensemble mean. The forecast track confidence is
extremely low beyond 72 hours, and the new NHC track was nudged
just a little to the left from the previous advisory, slightly east
of the various consensus aids.
Key Messages:
1. Lorenzo is a large and powerful hurricane, and its hurricane-
and tropical-storm-force wind fields are expected to expand further
during the next several days. Hurricane and Tropical Storm Watches
have been issued for the Azores, and these winds could start late
Tuesday or early Wednesday.
2. Large swells generated by Lorenzo will continue to spread across
much of the north Atlantic basin during the next few days. These
swells will produce life-threatening surf and rip currents.

Tropical Depression Narda Discussion Number 7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP162019
1000 PM CDT Sun Sep 29 2019
My best estimate of Narda's position based on conventional and
microwave satellite imagery, along with surface observations, is
inland near Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. There may be other small swirls
embedded within a surface trough that lies from the Islas Marias
archipelago southeastward to Puerto Vallarta, Narda, and Manzanillo.
However, the mid-level circulation center that we have been
tracking, which is near ground level in this mountainous region, is
the feature that has had the most continuity. A curved band of
intense deep convection consisting of cloud tops of -85C to -90C,
with isolated overshooting tops to -95C, wraps about half around the
center and generally corresponds to 35-kt winds. Due to land
interaction, however, the initial intensity is being held just below
tropical storm strength or 30 kt.
The initial motion is 315/18 kt. A large ridge anchored to the east
of Narda is expected to steer the the cyclone northwestward for the
next 3 days. This will result in Narda emerging back over the
Pacific Ocean in about 6 hours, then passing near or over the Islas
Marias islands Monday morning, followed by a track near or just
offshore the northwestern coast of Mexico Monday night and Tuesday.
A second landfall is expected along the coast of Mexico on
Wednesday, followed by dissipation Wednesday night or early
Thursday. The new NHC forecast track is similar to the previous
advisory, and lies just a tad to the left of the consensus models
TVCN and HCCA, which move the center inland in about 24 hours.
The intensity forecast remains highly uncertain, and leans toward a
consensus of the wind fields in the global models, which show Narda
regaining tropical storm status in 6-12 hours as a band of 35-kt
winds forms between the center and the mountainous coastline, likely
due to funneling/orographic effects. The upper-level environment is
forecast to be conducive for additional strengthening when Narda
moves over the very warm waters of the Gulf of California after
12-18 hours, but land interaction is expected to temper any
significant strengthening. Thus, the intensity forecast is
flat-lined at 35-kt, although some fluctuations in the intensity is
likely. Due to Narda being forecast to regain tropical storm status,
tropical storm warnings and watches have been issued for portions of
northwestern Mexico.
The primary threat from Narda will continue to be very heavy
rainfall, which should result in life-threatening flash flooding and
mudslides over portions of the southern coast of Mexico. Rainfall
totals of up to 15 inches are possible. This rainfall threat is
expected to continue even if the system dissipates as a tropical
cyclone.
