SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0420 PM CDT Fri Mar 28 2025 Valid 301200Z - 051200Z An active fire weather pattern is in store for the southern High Plains through at least the middle of next week. A series of mid-level troughs will traverse the central CONUS, encouraging surface low development across the Plains states on multiple days. Dry downslope flow is expected each day across the southern High Plains for Days 3-6 (Sunday-Wednesday), with 40% Critical probabilities introduced. The best chance for surface winds sustained at 20-30 mph amid 10-15 percent RH will be on Days 5-6 (Tuesday-Wednesday), when an intense mid-level jet streak overspreads the southern High Plains amid rapid and pronounced surface cyclone development. Thereafter, medium-range guidance depicts modest surface lee-troughing along the southern High Plains, where dry conditions should persist. However, questions about the strength of the surface wind field Days 7-8 (Thursday-Friday afternoon) preclude Critical probabilities across the southern High Plains this outlook. ..Squitieri.. 03/28/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

MD 0275 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF THE MIDDLE/UPPER TEXAS COAST
Mesoscale Discussion 0275 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0202 PM CDT Fri Mar 28 2025 Areas affected...Parts of the middle/upper Texas Coast Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 281902Z - 282030Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Locally damaging gusts and/or a brief tornado could accompany storms near the middle/upper Texas coast this afternoon. DISCUSSION...A small storm cluster has evolved early this afternoon near the middle TX coast, immediately in advance of a midlevel vorticity maximum embedded within a larger mid/upper trough over central/south TX. Modest diurnal heating has allowed MLCAPE to rise near 1000 J/kg downstream of this cluster, with some development of deep convection also noted closer to Galveston Bay. While flow in the lowest 3 km has weakened somewhat compared to this morning (as noted on the KHGX VWP), modestly favorable low-level shear/SRH remains in place across the region. The ongoing storm cluster earlier produced a 55 mph gust, and strong to isolated severe gusts will remain possible through the afternoon before this cluster moves offshore, and a brief tornado also cannot be ruled out. ..Dean/Smith.. 03/28/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC 1930Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0231 PM CDT Fri Mar 28 2025 Valid 301200Z - 311200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR MUCH OF THE OHIO VALLEY INTO THE MID-SOUTH... ...SUMMARY... A widespread/substantial severe-weather episode is forecast across an area centered on the Ohio/Mid and Lower Mississippi/Lower Missouri/Tennessee River Valleys. Very large hail, damaging winds, and strong tornadoes are expected. ...Synopsis... A somewhat broad upper-level trough with nebulous structure will move from the Plains into the Upper Midwest on Sunday. An embedded shortwave trough will amplify within the broader trough. A surface low will move from Iowa into the Great Lakes region. A cold front will move southeastward into areas east of the Mississippi while dryline will be present in East Texas. ...Upper Midwest/Ohio Valley... Models indicate some potential for early morning thunderstorm activity. This activity will likely be tied to the surface low/low-level warm advection. Some severe risk may accompany these storms. The question then becomes how this activity will impact destabilization across parts of Illinois into Indiana/western Ohio. Wind fields will still support supercells capable of all hazards, but the overall magnitude of these threats will depend on the degree of surface heating that occurs. Much of the Ohio Valley vicinity itself appears that it will not be impacted directly by early morning convection. This will be a zone where a favorable overlap of surface heating and stronger low-level wind fields will exist. Though the cold front will be the initiating boundary, effective shear vectors are expected to be orthogonal to it. This should increase the potential for discrete storms and strong tornadoes in addition to large hail and severe gusts. ...Mid-South... Ahead of the southeastward moving cold front, dewpoints are expected to rise to the mid to potentially the upper 60s (the NAM being typically more aggressive in this regard). Given the presence of an elevated mixed layer, this region is expected to have little to no thunderstorms expected during the morning/early afternoon. Surface heating and increasing mid-level ascent should eventually erode the cap and allow storms to develop by mid/late afternoon. There is some indication that a pre-frontal trough/confluence zone may set up. Should this occur, the potential for discrete storms would increase along with the potential for a more concerning tornado risk. Low-level wind fields will likely be somewhat weaker in these areas given the southward displacement from the surface low. However, forecast soundings suggest low-level hodograph curvature will be more than sufficient, particularly beyond early evening. Even without pre-frontal discrete development, the greater surface heating expected in this region should allow for widespread severe storms along the cold front with a threat for large hail, widespread damaging winds, and QLCS tornadoes. ...East Texas/Sabine Valley... A dryline feature will serve as the focus for convection. Storms in this area would more than likely be discrete. Steep mid-level lapse rates and sufficient effective shear should promote supercells capable of large/very-large hail as well as severe gusts and tornadoes. Later in the period, the cold front will surge south and lead to upscale growth of what activity is ongoing at that time. ..Wendt.. 03/28/2025 Read more
