SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0503 PM CDT Tue Sep 23 2025 Valid 251200Z - 011200Z ...Day 3/Thursday... An upper-level short wave trough with an accompanying 50-60 knot mid-level jet will move into the Pacific Northwest on Day 3/Thursday. Strong westerly flow over the Cascade Range into the Columbia Basin coupled with an increasingly dry air mass will lead to an escalating fire weather threat across the Columbia Basin Region amid dry fuels. A 70% critical probability area was added to the lee of the Northern Cascades and western portions of the Columbia Basin, where stronger winds and potentially single digit minimum RH values coincide amid dry fuels. Farther south, an eastward propagating upper-level low over California will shift thunderstorm potential into the Sierra Nevada, southern Great Basin and Arizona. Marginal fuel receptiveness to spread as well as subsequent multiple days of showers and thunderstorms across the Southwest should mitigate dry lightning ignition potential. ...Day 4/Friday... Dry and breezy conditions across the Northern Great Basin and Northern Rockies are expected Day 4/Friday as a dry cold front moves through the region although unreceptive fuel conditions should limit fire spread potential. Another round of showers and thunderstorms associated with a slowly weakening upper-level low positioned over Southern CA are expected across the Southwest. Increasing atmospheric moisture, cooler temperatures and marginal fuel receptiveness will limit new ignitions and wildfire spread. ...Days 5-8/Saturday-Tuesday... The diffuse low over the Desert Southwest will continue to bring showers and thunderstorms to much of the Southwest and Great Basin through the weekend. A ridge amplifying over the central CONUS will yield warm and dry conditions across the Northern Plains and Upper Midwest. Forecast uncertainty increases early next week with a potential deeper trough moving into western U.S. Increased southwest flow ahead of the trough could bring some fire weather concerns but timing uncertainty and marginal fuel dryness limits introduction of critical probabilities at this time. ..Williams.. 09/23/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Hurricane Narda Forecast Discussion Number 9

2 days 5 hours ago
Issued at 200 PM MST Tue Sep 23 2025 000 WTPZ44 KNHC 232039 TCDEP4 Hurricane Narda Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP142025 200 PM MST Tue Sep 23 2025 After steadily strengthening over the past day or so, Narda's intensity appears to have leveled off for now. Overall, the cloud pattern of the hurricane has not changed much during the past several hours and it continues to maintain a central dense overcast feature with outer rainbands surrounding it. The latest satellite intensity estimates have generally held steady today and support maintaining the initial wind speed at 75 kt. An ASCAT-C pass from a few hours ago confirmed that Narda is a small hurricane with its tropical-storm-force winds estimated to only extend up to 80 n mi from the center. The hurricane has been losing latitude today, and the initial motion is now estimated to be 260/11 kt. This south of due west motion is caused by a strong subtropical ridge situated to Narda's north-northwest, and it should keep Narda on a general westward path for the next few days. After that time, the models show a weakness developing in the ridge associated with a cut off low moving southward over southern California, which should cause Narda to slow down and turn northwestward over the weekend. The NHC track forecast is a little south of the previous one, based mostly on the more southward initial position and motion. Narda is likely to continue to strengthen through tonight. However, the latest models show a notable increase in easterly shear over the hurricane on Wednesday and Thursday, and that could cause the intensity to level off. The shear is expected to lessen late Thursday and Friday, allowing an opportunity for Narda to strengthen again before it moves over cool waters and into a stable air mass this weekend. The NHC intensity forecast is a little lower than the previous one in the short term, but still lies near the high end of the guidance. Little change was made to the previous long-term intensity forecast.

Mesoscale Discussion 2123 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0131 PM CDT Tue Sep 23 2025 Areas affected...portions of eastern Oklahoma ...western Arkansas...and extreme North Texas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 231831Z - 232030Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorm development is expected by mid to late afternoon across eastern Oklahoma into western Arkansas. Supercells posing a risk for a few tornadoes (one or two may be strong), large hail (up to 2 inch diameter) and damaging gusts to 70 mph are expected. Severe storms may also develop toward the Red River/far North Texas by early evening. One or more severe thunderstorm/tornado watches will likely be needed by 20-21z. DISCUSSION...At 18z, a surface low/cold front was located across central OK, and an outflow boundary extends west to east over extreme northeast OK/northwest AR. To the east and south of these features, pockets of clear to partly cloudy skies have allowed for strong surface heating and temperatures have climbed into the upper 80s to low 90s amid 68-76 F dewpoints. This is supporting a corridor of moderate instability (1500-2500 J/kg MLCAPE) across the region. Inhibition is also rapidly eroding, and visible satellite indicates increasing cumulus. Midlevel convection also has been increasing/deepening closer to the surface front, suggesting convection will likely increase in coverage/intensity over the next couple of hours. Wind profile data from the KINX VWP shows curved low-level hodographs, becoming elongated/straight aloft. As the surface low continues to develop east/northeast through the afternoon, low-level SRH is expected to increase, and likely become maximized within the surface outflow vicinity where backed low-level winds are noted. Tornado potential will be maximized within a a corridor near/north of I-40 across northeast OK/northwest AR. A tornado watch is likely for this area. Further south, vertical shear is expected to be weaker/less favorable but damaging gusts and large hail will still be possible as convection develop southward along the front toward the Red River, and a severe thunderstorm watch will likely be needed south of the tornado watch across southeast OK/southwest AR, and possibly far North Texas. ..Leitman/Smith.. 09/23/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
