SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0159 PM CDT Tue Jul 01 2025 Valid 021200Z - 031200Z ...Northwest... A mid-level trough and attendant accelerating mid-level flow will support stronger onshore flow into western OR/WA. Stronger gap winds through the Columbia Gorge along with enhanced downslope drying into the Columbia Basin will bring elevated fire weather conditions to the area Wednesday in conjunction with dry fuels. Thunderstorm development is expected again Wednesday across northern CA into southeastern/eastern OR. Northeast storm motions to the northeast of 25-30 mph will limit precipitation duration although ignition efficiency may be limited owing to limited fuel receptiveness, precluding dry thunderstorm highlights for Wednesday. ..Williams.. 07/01/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0120 AM CDT Tue Jul 01 2025/ ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough slowly progressing across portions of central California will continue to provide southerly transport of monsoon moisture into portions of the Great Basin on Wednesday, while a shortwave trough located further north over British Columbia will provide support for dry/windy conditions across northern Oregon into southern Washington. ...Dry/Windy... Modest mid-level westerly/southwesterly flow, coupled with deep mixing of dry boundary layer profiles, will support at least Elevated fire-weather conditions across portions of northern Oregon into southern Washington. The strongest winds will be confined to portions of the Cascade gaps/Columbia Gorge, with ERCs across the region nearing or meeting the annual 90th percentiles. ...Dry Thunderstorms... A mix of wet and dry thunderstorms will be possible from east-central Nevada into western Utah, and portions of far southeast Idaho into far western Wyoming. Fuels across significant portions of the Great Basin exceed the 98th annual percentiles, and a combination of low to modest total precipitable water vapor content and 0 - 6 km mean wind speeds ranging from 15 - 25 MPH will result in low precipitation efficiency with thunderstorm updrafts. This will support potential lightning ignitions, particularly with fast moving cells and on the edges of the most intense downdraft cores. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

MD 1531 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF THE SOUTHEAST
Mesoscale Discussion 1531 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1200 PM CDT Tue Jul 01 2025 Areas affected...parts of the Southeast Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 011700Z - 011900Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Locally strong gusts, from predominately wet microbursts with slow-moving widespread thunderstorms, may produce isolated damaging winds through the rest of the afternoon. DISCUSSION...Scattered thunderstorms are underway well to the south of the primary shortwave impulse moving east across the Upper OH Valley. With enhancement from a minor MCV near the middle TN/central KY border, guidance suggests convection will become extensive from the Cumberland Plateau to the lee of the southern Appalachians. However, greater buoyancy and boundary-layer heating should be confined to the Piedmont eastward, with the bulk of convection expected to remain relegated farther west. Overall deep-layer shear is weak, which will lend to slow-moving storms and poorly organized clusters. Still, water-loaded downdrafts in wet microbursts should support sporadic strong gusts capable of localized damaging winds. ..Grams/Mosier.. 07/01/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1532 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF MISSISSIPPI...ALABAMA...AND FAR EASTERN LOUISIANA
Mesoscale Discussion 1532 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1214 PM CDT Tue Jul 01 2025 Areas affected...parts of Mississippi...Alabama...and far eastern Louisiana Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 011714Z - 011845Z Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent SUMMARY...Isolated damaging winds possible this afternoon/evening. DISCUSSION...Strong morning insolation has allowed temperatures to warm into the upper 80s amid a very moist boundary layer, characterized by dew point temperatures into the mid 70s F. This has resulted in destabilization of the environment, yielding 2500 J/kg of MLCAPE. Visible satellite/radar is now indicating scattered convection developing across the region. The expectation is for storms to continue developing, maturing into the afternoon hours while spreading southeast with time. Weak deep-layer shear will limit storm organization, but given appreciable low-level lapse rates (approaching 8 C/km) and the aforementioned moist environment, periodic strong/water-loaded downdrafts can be expected with this activity, resulting in isolated wind damage throughout the remainder of the afternoon and early evening. ..Karstens/Mosier.. 07/01/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1530 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF THE NORTHEAST AND SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND
Mesoscale Discussion 1530 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1128 AM CDT Tue Jul 01 2025 Areas affected...parts of the Northeast and southern New England Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 011628Z - 011830Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...An isolated damaging wind threat from strong gusts is anticipated this afternoon across parts of the Northeast into southern New England. Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance is possible if a more concentrated corridor of damaging winds becomes apparent. DISCUSSION...To the north of the favored region for scattered damaging winds across southern PA/NJ this afternoon, a more isolated and lower intensity threat is anticipated. With somewhat cooler surface temperatures, outside of the Lower Hudson Valley, amid similarly weak mid-level lapse rates, MLCAPE is expected to be more muted. But moderate to strong mid/upper-level speed shear will favor potential for semi-discrete convection and transient mid-level rotation, capable of small hail and generally isolated damaging winds. Bulk of morning guidance suggests a combination of lesser storm coverage and instability should modulate the overall wind threat. It is possible though that an uptick in convective intensity might occur if a cluster can approach the Lower Hudson Valley to southwest New England vicinity later this afternoon. ..Grams/Mosier.. 07/01/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
