SPC 2000Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0254 PM CDT Sun Jul 02 2023 Valid 022000Z - 031200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL...ADJACENT PORTIONS OF NORTHEASTERN ARKANSAS AND SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...NORTHERN WESTERN AND MIDDLE TENNESSEE...MUCH OF KENTUCKY AND ADJACENT SOUTHERN INDIANA AND SOUTHWESTERN OHIO... ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO...THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES AND ADJACENT SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO AND SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS... ...SUMMARY... Potential for an organizing cluster of storms capable of producing damaging wind gusts appears highest across the lower Ohio Valley through mid to late evening. ...20Z Update... Adjustments have been made to the categorical and probabilistic lines to account for the progression of the synoptic and sub-synoptic features and their associated influence on destabilization. Convection continues to increase along a weak frontal zone to the south and southeast of a still well-defined mid-level low migrating across east central Illinois into west central Indiana. Although models continue to indicate that the low will become increasingly sheared and weaken later this evening, a seasonably moist boundary layer across the lower Ohio Valley has become characterized by large CAPE on the order of 2000-3000 J/kg. Modestly steep low-level lapse rates, coupled with shear/momentum associated with a belt of 40 kt 500 mb flow centered roughly across Kentucky, seems likely to support the evolution of an organizing convective system with increasing risk of producing damaging wind gusts into this evening. As activity continues eastward later this evening and overnight, a less unstable and/or stabilizing boundary layer across the Allegheny and Cumberland Plateaus, into and across the Appalachians, is expected to weaken convection and result in diminishing severe weather potential. ..Kerr.. 07/02/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1130 AM CDT Sun Jul 02 2023/ ...Deep South to the OH Valley... A shortwave trough over IL will lose amplitude as it moves east across IN/OH through tonight. To the south of this trough, a belt of 35-45 kt mid-level west-southwesterlies will persist from the Mid-South to the central Appalachians. Numerous clusters are expected to develop by late afternoon within a broad southwesterly low-level flow regime amid moderate to large buoyancy characterized by an expansive plume of MLCAPE from 2000-3500 J/kg. Activity along the fringe of the stronger mid-level flow over the Deep South to TN Valley and with north extent in IN/OH will generally consist of multicell clusters. More organized clustering with a few supercells should emanate from the MS/OH River confluence and expand/spread across KY/TN and along the OH Valley later this afternoon. These may evolve into faster-moving line segments and embedded bowing structures with the main threat being damaging winds. ...Lower Mid-Atlantic States... A pair of MCVs, one in the vicinity of southwest VA and the other over western PA may help focus downstream scattered thunderstorm development this afternoon. With weak mid-level lapse rates persisting north of the lee of the southern Appalachians per 12Z observed soundings, robust boundary-layer heating will be necessary to destabilize across the region. This appears to be underway from NJ south across most of VA into NC. With relatively stronger mid-level westerlies compared to previous days, there will be sufficient deep-layer shear for organized multicell clustering and perhaps transient supercell structures. Overall setup should support a primary threat of isolated to scattered damaging winds into early evening. ...Southern High Plains... Downstream of a subtle mid/upper trough moving southeast over the southern Rockies, scattered thunderstorms will tend to be focused over the Raton Mesa/Sangre de Cristos later this afternoon. Within this northwest flow regime, deep-layer shear will be weak outside of the Raton Mesa to western Panhandles vicinity. A well-mixed boundary layer will support a primary threat of dry microbursts from slow-moving high-based storms. Somewhat greater potential for a briefly organized cluster remains apparent across northeast NM into the western Panhandles during the late afternoon to early evening. ...Northeast ND and northwest MN... The downstream influence of a pronounced shortwave trough shifting east across the Canadian Prairies will aid in a surface cyclone tracking from southeast SK across southern MB through this evening. Attendant surface cold front will likely increasingly overtake a leading surface trough this evening in northeast ND. While the greater severe threat will probably remain north of the international border, trailing convective development may brush far northeast ND/northwest MN with a threat for isolated large hail and damaging winds for a few hours centered around 03Z.

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0135 PM CDT Sun Jul 02 2023 Valid 031200Z - 041200Z The previous forecast (see below) remains generally on track. However, Elevated highlights have been added over (and to the lee of) the Cascades, as well as central Arizona, as the latest guidance consensus has trended windier across these regions, necessitating fire weather highlights. Localized wildfire spread concerns may also develop over lower terrain/non-irrigated areas of central and southern California (i.e. southern parts of the San Joaquin Valley and points south) given expected dry onshore flow in these areas. ..Squitieri.. 07/02/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0201 AM CDT Sun Jul 02 2023/ ...Synopsis... Midlevel west-southwesterly flow trailing a low-pressure system moving across central Canada will strengthen across parts of the Great Basin into the northwestern CONUS. Given a warm/dry antecedent air mass over these areas, locally elevated conditions will be possible where fuels are dry. This will especially be the case over parts of AZ into the southern Great basin, and in the lee of the Cascades. Currently, the best overlap of strong surface winds and low RH is expected over the central Great Basin, where fuels are only modestly receptive to wildfire spread -- precluding Elevated highlights at this time. Additionally, diurnally driven high-based thunderstorms are possible over parts of the central Rockies during the afternoon, where deep inverted-V thermodynamic profiles are expected. While this will favor dry thunderstorms, fuels are generally not supportive of large fires. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1228 PM CDT Sun Jul 02 2023 Valid 031200Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY THROUGH MONDAY NIGHT ACROSS PARTS OF UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA...MUCH OF NORTHERN AND CENTRAL NORTH CAROLINA...CENTRAL AND EASTERN VIRGINIA AND MARYLAND...INCLUDING THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA...DELAWARE...SOUTHEASTERN PENNSYLVANIA...SOUTHERN NEW JERSEY...SOUTHEASTERN MONTANA...NORTHEASTERN WYOMING...SOUTHERN NORTH DAKOTA...MUCH OF SOUTH DAKOTA AND PARTS OF SOUTHWESTERN MINNESOTA... ...SUMMARY... Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms and thunderstorm clusters may develop across the Mid Atlantic Region and portions of the northern Great Plains Monday into Monday night. ...Synopsis... A branch of westerlies across the northern mid-latitude Pacific through the northwestern Atlantic will remain amplified through this period. However, within this regime, an occluding cyclone over the Canadian Prairies is forecast to weaken, while a more modest secondary low migrates from northeastern Manitoba into central Hudson Bay. The initially deep associated mid-level low appears likely to become increasingly sheared across the eastern Canadian Prairies through western Hudson Bay, as downstream ridging builds across northern Quebec and Newfoundland and Labrador. To the south of this ridge, shearing mid-level troughing in a separate branch of westerlies will continue to shift east-northeastward, across northern and middle Atlantic coastal areas. It appears that weak troughing within this southern branch will also linger as far southwest as the southern Great Plains, while mid-level ridging builds to the north, across parts of the Upper Midwest into adjacent Great Lakes region. ...Northern Rockies into Upper Midwest... The frontal zone associated with the Canadian Prairies cyclone will likely provide one focus for considerable thunderstorm development Monday through Monday night. Models suggest that this front will reach northwestern Minnesota through the North and South Dakota state border and Big Horns vicinity by 12Z Monday, before southeastward motion slows or stalls. As a notable short wave impulse digs southeast of British Columbia, around the southwestern periphery of the more prominent shearing mid-level low, the front may make more substantive southward progress through southern Idaho and northern/central Wyoming by 12Z Tuesday. Forcing for ascent downstream of the digging impulse may contribute to thunderstorm initiation across and east of the mountains of northwestern Wyoming by Monday afternoon, as a more subtle preceding perturbation and downstream warm advection perhaps contribute to additional storm development across southeastern Montana into southwestern North Dakota and adjacent northwestern South Dakota. Stronger destabilization and vertical shear will become focused within/above the moist easterly post-frontal near-surface flow, from the lee of the Big Horns through northern South Dakota by peak afternoon heating. It appears that this environment will become conducive to the highest probabilities for severe convective development, which may include supercells and one or two upscale growing and organizing clusters into Monday night. ...Mid Atlantic... Southeast of the shearing mid-level troughing, a remnant belt of 20-40+ kt southwesterly flow in the 850-500 mb layer is forecast to gradually continuing shifting from the Cumberland and southern Allegheny Plateau vicinity through northern Mid Atlantic coastal areas. It appears that the southeastern periphery of this belt will overspread seasonably moist air within surface troughing to lee of the Blue Ridge, which is forecast to become characterized by large CAPE (2000-3000+ J/kg) by peak afternoon heating. This will support potential for scattered strong thunderstorm development accompanied by a risk for severe wind hail into Monday evening. ..Kerr.. 07/02/2023 Read more

This activity may persist another 1-2 hours. DISCUSSION...A small bowing segment has developed east of Greensboro this afternoon. KRAX radar velocity data showed an area of 50 kt winds within the apex of bow. Earlier this afternoon, near Burlington, a 40 kt gust was observed along with reported tree damage. Given the organization of the bow, it may persist another hour or two despite weak shear and a less favorable downstream airmass.

MD 1378 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF SOUTHWEST TEXAS AND FAR SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO
Mesoscale Discussion 1378 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0439 PM CDT Sat Jul 01 2023 Areas affected...Parts of southwest Texas and far southeastern New Mexico Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 012139Z - 012345Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...The area is being monitored for an increase in severe-storm potential this afternoon, and a watch is possible. DISCUSSION...Latest surface observations and visible satellite/radar imagery show an outflow boundary draped across parts of southwest TX this afternoon, with deepening cumulus and isolated convective development along the boundary. Farther west, an organized storm has developed over the higher terrain. Diurnal destabilization of a moist air mass (middle/upper 60s dewpoints) beneath steep midlevel lapse rates are contributing to strong surface-based instability in the vicinity of the boundary. While low/mid-level flow is not particularly strong, weak low-level east-southeasterlies beneath strengthening westerly flow aloft will still yield around 35 kt of effective shear -- supportive of organized storms including a few supercells. With weak large-scale ascent over the area, an initially discrete/semi-discrete mode will favor large hail, though eventual clustering near the outflow boundary should support an increasing damaging-wind threat. Currently, it is unclear if storm coverage will be sufficient for a watch, though convective trends will be monitored. ..Weinman/Hart.. 07/01/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
