Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 PM PDT Fri Sep 12 2025

For the eastern and central North Pacific east of 180 longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center has issued the final advisory on the
remnants of Mario, located just offshore of the coast of
southwestern Mexico.

Central East Pacific:
An area of low pressure could develop well offshore of the coast of
southern or southwestern Mexico early next week. Environmental
conditions are expected to be conducive for gradual development
thereafter, as the low tracks westward to west-northwestward around
10 to 15 mph.
*Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
*Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

South and Southeast of the Hawaiian Islands:
An area of low pressure well southeast of the Hawaiian Islands is
producing a large area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms.
Environmental conditions appear conducive for some gradual
development of this system as it moves westward or
west-northwestward at around 10 mph.
*Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
*Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1251 AM CDT Sat Sep 13 2025 Valid 141200Z - 151200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS...EXTENDING INTO THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe storms are possible across parts of the northern Plains into the southern High Plains tomorrow (Sunday). ...Synopsis... A negatively tilted upper trough will pivot northward across the central/northern Plains, around broader cyclonic flow aloft, as a second upper trough traverses the Pacific Northwest tomorrow (Sunday). A surface low will develop and intensify while drifting northward across the Dakotas through the forecast period. Strengthening of the low will encourage the development of a southerly low-level jet, which will result in both northward moisture advection, and increased vertical wind shear, to support at least isolated severe storms across the Plains. ...Great Plains States... Widespread clouds and precipitation may be underway at the start of the period (12Z Sunday) given the warm-air advection regime in place ahead of the surface low. Through the day, some breaks in the cloud cover will support adequate insolation to generate surface-based buoyancy ahead of a confluence boundary. Surface temperatures may rise into the 70s F, amid 60+ f dewpoints, yielding 1000-2000 J/kg MLCAPE in spots. However, mid-level lapse rates are expected to be modest at best (e.g. 6-7 C/km), with the aforementioned MLCAPE constrained to tall, thin profiles. However, 20-40 kt southerly flow at 850 mb (driven by the low-level jet), overspread by 40-50 kts of south-southwesterly 500 mb flow, will yield elongated, mainly straight hodographs across the central/northern Plains. Effective bulk shear of 35-45 kts is possible from NE northward, with weaker values, but relatively more curved hodographs possible farther south into the southern High Plains. By afternoon peak heating, the rejuvenation of warm-sector convection ahead of the confluence band is likely, with scattered multicells and perhaps supercells possible from the Dakotas to the TX Panhandle. Storms will first develop across the northern Plains by early afternoon, with gradual southward development likely by early evening. Given modest lapse rates/thin CAPE profiles amid straight hodographs, the severe threat appears relatively isolated, with occasional severe gusts/hail the main threats. A tornado is possible over the northern Plains if a supercell can become sustained within the low-level jet axis and traverse a corridor of locally stronger surface-based buoyancy. The severe threat should gradually wane after dark, when surface-based buoyancy diminishes with nocturnal cooling and increased MLCINH. ..Squitieri.. 09/13/2025 Read more

Isolated severe wind and hail will be possible from the Southwest/southern Rockies to the northern Great Plains and a portion of the Midwest, mainly today into early tonight. ...Southwest/southern Rockies/High Plains... The basal portion of the broad mid/upper trough from the northern Rockies to the Lower CO Valley will progress more quickly east, yielding an elongated trough enveloping the entire High Plains by early Sunday. Widespread thunderstorm development is anticipated by midday to early afternoon across western NM/CO as cooling mid-level temperatures become favorably timed with moderate diurnal heating of a seasonably moist airmass. Lower-level instability should be tempered by remnants of early morning convection and the quick redevelopment cycle by afternoon. Nevertheless, a broad belt of moderate southwesterly speed shear should support transient mid-level updraft rotation within the deepest updrafts. These should tend to become focused across southern/eastern NM later in the afternoon, but this region will be on the fringe of greater mid-level cooling centered on the Four Corners. As such, mid-level lapse rates will be weak where boundary-layer heating is more pronounced. A broad swath of sporadic strong to marginally severe hail/wind is anticipated before convection subsides after sunset. ...NE/SD/ND... Overall severe wind/hail potential appears low across multiple regimes through the period, amid a persistent meridional mid-level flow regime. Ongoing convection over the western Dakotas, tied to a minor MCV, should progress north-northeast towards the Canadian border this morning. Residual cloudiness/overturning should limit the northern extent of more substantial diurnal destabilization in ND. Late afternoon to evening storm development appears more likely to emanate out of the central High Plains north-northeastward across western/central NE within a modestly sheared and weakly buoyant airmass. This activity may foster another MCV that drifts north into SD, which could impinge on a confined corridor of recovered moderate buoyancy and sustain a marginal severe wind/hail threat tonight. ...IL/IN/WI... Low-probability severe hail/wind potential remains evident, but seems likely to be rather isolated. An MCV over central WI will drift south-southeast this morning. An increase in convective vigor is possible towards sunrise along the MUCAPE gradient in southern WI to northern IL. Within a belt of moderate mid-level northwesterlies, transient/weak updraft rotation is possible in a cell or two. Guidance differs greatly on the degree of boundary-layer heating downstream of the morning elevated activity. The more aggressively warm guidance suggests a conditional threat of diurnal intensification with potential for locally strong gusts. ..Grams/Dean.. 09/13/2025 Read more

MD 2069 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF WESTERN/CENTRAL SD INTO SOUTHWEST ND
Mesoscale Discussion 2069 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0949 PM CDT Fri Sep 12 2025 Areas affected...Parts of western/central SD into southwest ND Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 130249Z - 130445Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...A threat for isolated hail and strong to locally severe gusts will continue into late tonight. DISCUSSION...Earlier slow-moving supercells have largely weakened across northwest SD/southwest ND, but recent vigorous development has been noted across southwest SD along a northeastward-moving outflow emanating out of the northern High Plains. Additional strong to potentially severe storms may develop along this outflow as it impinges upon a favorable thermodynamic environment (as observed in the 00Z BIS/ABR soundings). While ascent along the outflow may encourage some tendency toward development of clusters or small line segments, favorable deep-layer shear combined with weak low-level flow may continue to favor isolated or semi-discrete cells with a continued threat of large hail. While MLCINH will continue to increase with time, favorable lapse rates above the stabilizing near-surface layer will also support some potential for strong to locally severe gusts. The severe threat may continue to remain rather isolated, but watch issuance is possible if trends support maintenance of multiple sustained supercells or organized clusters/line segments into late tonight. ..Dean/Gleason.. 09/13/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
