SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1017 AM CDT Mon Jun 03 2024 Valid 031700Z - 041200Z The previous forecast remains on track with only minor adjustments needed based on latest surface observations and trends in high-res guidance. Confidence remains reasonably high in the emergence of elevated fire weather conditions this afternoon across portions of AZ into southern NM and far west TX between the 20-01 UTC period. South-central NM into the Trans Pecos region of far west TX should see the longest duration of 15+ mph winds with 5-15% RH where deeper boundary-layer mixing should favor frequent gusts between 20-25 mph. See the previous discussion below for additional details. ..Moore.. 06/03/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0156 AM CDT Mon Jun 03 2024/ ...Synopsis... Broad and weak zonal flow will continue over parts of the Southwest and southern US as a subtle shortwave moves eastward into the Plains. Gusty winds are possible over parts of NM and west TX where receptive fuels and hot/dry temperatures are also expected. ...New Mexico and far West TX... Despite being weaker than the past several days, westerly mid-level flow should remain strong enough to bolster surface winds to around 10-15 MPH over parts of central/eastern NM and far West TX this afternoon behind a dryline. With RH values in the low teens and temperatures of 90+ F, the dry and breezy air mass will likely support a few hours of elevated fire-weather potential within receptive fuels. The most likely corridor for more sustained and stronger winds will be closer to the dryline/surface trough across far west TX. A few hours of locally elevated fire-weather conditions may also extend farther west in to central AZ. While winds are expected to be more sporadic, dry surface conditions along the Mogollon Rim have allowed for continued drying of fuels. As such, at least a few hours of 15-20 mph wind gusts and RH below 15% may support some elevated fire-weather risk. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

MD 1149 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 384... FOR WESTERN TO NORTHERN OK AND SOUTHEAST KS
Mesoscale Discussion 1149 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0733 AM CDT Mon Jun 03 2024 Areas affected...Western to northern OK and southeast KS Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 384... Valid 031233Z - 031330Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 384 continues. SUMMARY...While the overall severe threat has diminished, potential still exists for an uptick in convective intensity later this morning. DISCUSSION...The short QLCS that was responsible for a swath of measured severe wind gusts from Garden City to Medicine Lodge weakened considerably across parts of north-central OK/south-central KS. The trailing remnants still persist across a part of northwest OK. The 12Z Amarillo sounding sampled substantially large MLCIN with a very stout elevated mixed layer characterized by lapse rates to around 9.5 C/km. With stratus evident downstream across the southeast TX Panhandle into southwest/south-central OK, it is possible that may continue to decay until late morning/midday. Otherwise, isolated/marginal severe hail will be possible over southeast KS in the near-term ahead of the remnant MCV. An additional watch is unlikely for this activity. ..Grams.. 06/03/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...TSA...ICT...OUN...AMA...

SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0756 AM CDT Mon Jun 03 2024 Valid 031300Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TONIGHT FOR OK/NORTH TX EASTWARD TO THE ARK-LA-MISS... ...SUMMARY... Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from much of the Mississippi Valley into the Ozark Plateau and southern Plains today. A more concentrated area of severe thunderstorm risk may become focused across southwest and southern Oklahoma this evening into early tonight. ...Southern Plains to the lower MS Valley through tonight... As has been the case for the past several nights across the Great Plains, nocturnal convection has persisted into the morning in a few different clusters. The most substantial of these has been an MCS with a history of 60-80 mph measured gusts earlier this morning across southwest KS. This MCS has weakened more recently, but some form of the convection should continue east-southeastward through the morning toward central OK, along the north edge of the MUCAPE up to 3000 J/kg. Confidence in the details of the MCS evolution is low, though there is some potential for the storms to potentially reach the Ark-La-Tex and the western half of AR by this evening, and perhaps as far east as the Ark-La-Miss region early tonight before the storms weaken. Outflow trailing southwestward from these morning storms will likely provide a mesoscale focus for supercell development this afternoon along the stalling boundary in the vicinity of southwest OK border. Here, rich low-level moisture (boundary-layer dewpoints in the low-mid 70s) and surface heating will drive MLCAPE to near 5000 J/kg with weakening convective inhibition after peak surface heating. At least isolated thunderstorm development is expected late this afternoon/evening near the outflow/dryline intersection (close to the southwest OK/southeast TX Panhandle border), and storms will subsequently move southeastward along the stalled boundary. Despite rather modest flow aloft, an enhanced easterly component to the low-level flow near the outflow boundary will contribute to sufficient hodograph length/curvature for right-moving supercells. The extreme buoyancy, sufficiently low LCL heights and some enhancement to low-level shear along the boundary will favor the potential for a couple of tornadoes, in addition to isolated very large hail (up to 3 inches in diameter) and damaging gusts. These evening storms, or additional storms associated with warm advection, will be possible tonight across southern and central OK. ...Southern WI and vicinity this afternoon/evening... A remnant MCV over IA will move northeastward over WI this afternoon, atop a subtle surface front/trough and differential heating zone. As surface temperatures warm to 75-80 F in cloud breaks and boundary-layer dewpoints increase to 65-70 F, moderate buoyancy (MLCAPE near 1500 J/kg) will develop in the warm sector from eastern IA/northwest IL into southern WI. Despite some localized enhancement to vertical shear with the remnant MCV, deep-layer vertical shear will generally remain weak (primarily supporting multicell clusters and low-end supercell structures). Thus, expect a few clusters of storms capable of producing occasional wind damage and isolated large hail of 1-1.5 inches in diameter for a few hours this afternoon/evening. ..Thompson/Grams.. 06/03/2024 Read more

Thus, expect a few clusters of storms capable of producing occasional wind damage and isolated large hail of 1-1.5 inches in diameter for a few hours this afternoon/evening. ..Thompson/Grams.. 06/03/2024 Read more

SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0756 AM CDT Mon Jun 03 2024 Valid 031300Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TONIGHT FOR OK/NORTH TX EASTWARD TO THE ARK-LA-MISS... ...SUMMARY... Strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from much of the Mississippi Valley into the Ozark Plateau and southern Plains today. A more concentrated area of severe thunderstorm risk may become focused across southwest and southern Oklahoma this evening into early tonight. ...Southern Plains to the lower MS Valley through tonight... As has been the case for the past several nights across the Great Plains, nocturnal convection has persisted into the morning in a few different clusters. The most substantial of these has been an MCS with a history of 60-80 mph measured gusts earlier this morning across southwest KS. This MCS has weakened more recently, but some form of the convection should continue east-southeastward through the morning toward central OK, along the north edge of the MUCAPE up to 3000 J/kg. Confidence in the details of the MCS evolution is low, though there is some potential for the storms to potentially reach the Ark-La-Tex and the western half of AR by this evening, and perhaps as far east as the Ark-La-Miss region early tonight before the storms weaken. Outflow trailing southwestward from these morning storms will likely provide a mesoscale focus for supercell development this afternoon along the stalling boundary in the vicinity of southwest OK border. Here, rich low-level moisture (boundary-layer dewpoints in the low-mid 70s) and surface heating will drive MLCAPE to near 5000 J/kg with weakening convective inhibition after peak surface heating. At least isolated thunderstorm development is expected late this afternoon/evening near the outflow/dryline intersection (close to the southwest OK/southeast TX Panhandle border), and storms will subsequently move southeastward along the stalled boundary. Despite rather modest flow aloft, an enhanced easterly component to the low-level flow near the outflow boundary will contribute to sufficient hodograph length/curvature for right-moving supercells. The extreme buoyancy, sufficiently low LCL heights and some enhancement to low-level shear along the boundary will favor the potential for a couple of tornadoes, in addition to isolated very large hail (up to 3 inches in diameter) and damaging gusts. These evening storms, or additional storms associated with warm advection, will be possible tonight across southern and central OK. ...Southern WI and vicinity this afternoon/evening... A remnant MCV over IA will move northeastward over WI this afternoon, atop a subtle surface front/trough and differential heating zone. As surface temperatures warm to 75-80 F in cloud breaks and boundary-layer dewpoints increase to 65-70 F, moderate buoyancy (MLCAPE near 1500 J/kg) will develop in the warm sector from eastern IA/northwest IL into southern WI. Despite some localized enhancement to vertical shear with the remnant MCV, deep-layer vertical shear will generally remain weak (primarily supporting multicell clusters and low-end supercell structures).
