Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1256 AM CDT Wed Aug 27 2025 Valid 271200Z - 281200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... The potential for severe storms appears to be low across the continental U.S. today, though a few stronger storms are possible across parts of the Upper Midwest and Colorado Front Range where locally gusty winds and small hail are possible. ...Synopsis... A broad upper-level trough will be present across the eastern CONUS today with weak ridging across the western CONUS. Surface high pressure will weaken slightly and shift east across the Appalachians into the Mid-Atlantic/Carolinas. A cold front along the Gulf Coast will extend into the Central Plains. ...Upper Midwest... A region of moderate instability and shear is forecast to develop across southern Minnesota this afternoon. A lead shortwave trough (currently across north Dakota) is expected to move through southern Minnesota around mid-day with weak height rises and subsidence in its wake. However, by the evening, an additional shortwave trough (traversing the western edge of the broader trough) may result in isolated storm development by late afternoon/early evening. Some forecast sounding, particularly the NAM, would support a few strong to isolated severe storms with a threat for large hail. However, consensus guidance is not as unstable and therefore, any severe threat may remain mostly isolated. Therefore, no severe weather probabilities will be included at this time. ...Central High Plains into western Kansas... Thunderstorms across the central High Plains may congeal into a cluster as they move into western Kansas this evening. A belt of stronger mid-level flow (35 to 45 knots) on the southwest periphery of the large-scale trough will provide favorable deep-layer shear across the region. However, despite the favorable shear, weak mid-level lapse rates will limit overall instability. A few stronger storms capable of damaging winds will be possible, but this threat is expected to be too low/limited to warrant severe weather probabilities. ..Bentley/Weinman.. 08/27/2025 Read more

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 PM PDT Tue Aug 26 2025

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

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Tropical
Storm Juliette, located in the eastern Pacific basin several hundred
miles west of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.

Well South of the Hawaiian Islands:
An area of low pressure located several hundred miles south of the
Hawaiian Islands continues to produce an area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive
for some gradual development of this system over the next few days,
and a tropical depression could form late this week or weekend while
it moves westward at 10 to 15 mph across the central Pacific basin.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

Well Southwest of the Baja California Peninsula:
A tropical wave located a few hundred miles south of the coast of
southwestern Mexico continues to produce a broad area of
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions
appear generally favorable for gradual development of this system
over the latter portion of this week, and a tropical depression
could from by this weekend while the system moves westward to
west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the central to western
part of the eastern Pacific basin.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

South of Southern Mexico:
Another area of low pressure could form this weekend offshore of the
coast of southern Mexico. Environmental conditions appear conducive
for some gradual development of this system into early next week
while it moves generally west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

Mandatory water allocations for district in southern Nebraska

1 month ago
The Little Blue Natural Resources District issued mandatory groundwater allocations on May 15 as groundwater levels had been below required limits for two years. This is the first time that the district has allocated water. For the next five years, high-capacity irrigation, municipal, industrial, recreational, and fish and wildlife groundwater users within the affected areas cannot use or pump more than 65 inches of groundwater from high-capacity wells, according to the LBNRD rules and regulations.

Tropical Storm Juliette Forecast Discussion Number 10

1 month ago
Issued at 800 PM PDT Tue Aug 26 2025 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 270240 TCDEP5 Tropical Storm Juliette Discussion Number 10 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102025 800 PM PDT Tue Aug 26 2025 Juliette has changed little in organization since earlier today, but the overall coverage and intensity of deep convection has decreased. Most of the strongest thunderstorm activity is occurring in a small cluster just to the southeast of the estimated center. Convective banding features are not particularly well-defined. The advisory intensity is held at 55 kt in agreement with Dvorak classifications of 3.5/3.5 from both TAFB and SAB and an objective DPRINT intensity estimate from UW-CIMSS. The storm continues on its northwestward trek with a motion estimate of about 325/10 kt. Juliette is moving on the western periphery of a mid-level high pressure system centered over northern Mexico. This steering regime should continue through tomorrow. In 48 hours, the cyclone should weaken and move more slowly in the low-level flow. The official track forecast is somewhat to the right of the previous one, but not as far to the right as the latest dynamical model consensus. Juliette is currently crossing a strong gradient of SSTs and is headed for much cooler waters. This, along with drier low- to mid-level air and increasing west-southwesterly vertical wind shear should cause weakening. The official intensity forecast is very close to the DSHIPS, LGEM, and HCCA numerical guidance. Given the expected future environment, the tropical cyclone could weaken even faster then indicated here. Mid- to upper-level moisture associated with Juliette or its remnants will probably spread over portions of northwestern Mexico and the southwestern U.S. during the next few days.

conducive for some gradual development of this system, and a
tropical depression could form late this week while it moves
westward at 10 to 15 mph across the central Pacific basin.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

Well Southwest of the Baja California Peninsula:
An area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms located a few
hundred miles south of the coast of southwestern Mexico is
associated with a tropical wave. Some slow development of this
system is possible late this week and into the weekend while it
moves westward to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph across the
central part of the eastern Pacific basin.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...30 percent.

South of Southern Mexico:
An area of low pressure could form this weekend offshore of the

Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0421 PM CDT Tue Aug 26 2025 Valid 281200Z - 031200Z Weak upper lows will drift north out of the northwestern US Day 3/Thursday - Day 4/Friday with remnants of monsoonal moisture surge lingering across portions of Washington and Montana. Drier air will filter in behind this surge as upper-level ridging begins to build slowly over the Intermountain West. Thunderstorm coverage decreases across the Sierra and western Great Basin and northern Rockies Day 4/Friday through the weekend. Another upper low will approach the Northwest coast Day 4/Friday and is likely to move into Washington over the weekend. The track of this upper low remains uncertain, especially from late Day 6/Sunday and beyond. ...Day 3/Thursday - Day 4/Friday... Isolated mixed wet/dry thunderstorms are possible in portions northern Washington into northwest Montana on Day 3/Thursday, with chances potentially lingering in the Idaho Panhandle/northwest Montana on Day 4/Friday. However, there is too much uncertainty regarding actual lightning production and not just high-based showers to introduce probabilities at this time. ...Day 4/Friday - Day 6/Sunday... Dry/breezy conditions are likely in portions of northern California into the Inland Northwest and northwest Great Basin as the upper low approaches and eventually moves into the Northwest. Given the recent lightning and dry fuels, holdovers will be a concern, and any ongoing active large wildfires in these areas are likely to see increased growth.
