Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1134 AM CDT Mon Aug 25 2025 Valid 251700Z - 261200Z The forecast remains on track, and please see the previous discussion for more details. ..Nauslar.. 08/25/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0159 AM CDT Mon Aug 25 2025/ ...Synopsis... Along the northern periphery of a midlevel ridge centered on the Four Corners region, monsoonal moisture atop a warm/dry boundary layer will support isolated to widely scattered high-based thunderstorms across the Northwest -- with a focus over the higher terrain. Over the Cascades, PW values of 0.70-0.90 inches will favor a mix of wet/dry thunderstorms over receptive fuels, posing a risk of lightning-induced ignitions and gusty/erratic outflow winds. Thunderstorm potential is more uncertain over the WA Cascades owing to limited monsoonal moisture compared to areas farther south. Nevertheless, any storms that do form will be dry and pose a risk of new starts. A continuation of wet/dry thunderstorms are also expected across northern CA, though recent rainfall and 1+ inch PW cast uncertainty on overall ignition potential. For central ID into southwest MT, mixed wet/dry thunderstorms may pose a short-term risk of lightning-induced ignitions; however, increasing rainfall in the coming days should limit the overall risk. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1131 AM CDT Mon Aug 25 2025 Valid 251630Z - 261200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN ARIZONA... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe wind gusts are possible over parts of south-central Arizona this afternoon through early evening. Otherwise, the potential for severe storms is low across the remainder of the continental U.S. ...Synopsis... A large upper trough will remain over the eastern CONUS today, as several embedded shortwave troughs progress within its southern periphery. Extensive upper ridging that currently extends from the southern Plains into the northern Intermountain West is forecast to remain largely in place. Some dampening may occur along the northwestern periphery of this ridging as a slow-moving vorticity maximum continues northeastward from the CO/OR/NV border vicinity into more of eastern OR. Ample monsoonal moisture exists beneath this ridging, contributing to scattered to numerous thunderstorms from the southern/central Rockies westward across the Southwest and much of the Great Basin. Limited vertical shear and weak buoyancy will mitigate the severe potential across the majority of the region. The only exceptions are across central Rockies and immediate foothills, and portions of southern AZ. ...Southern AZ... Ample monsoonal moisture is in place across the region, evidenced by PW values of 1.66 and 1.83 inches from the Phoenix and Yuma 12Z soundings, respectively. Filtered diurnal heating within this moist airmass will support modest buoyancy and afternoon thunderstorm development. A belt of stronger mid-level southeasterly flow (20-25 kt) is forecast to overspread the region this afternoon, providing ample shear for some multicell storm clusters. Initial storms which are expected to form across the higher terrain in southeast Arizona may result in congealing outflow with a damaging wind threat as storms move generally west-northwestward through the evening. ...Central Rockies... Thunderstorm development is expected across the high terrain by the early afternoon. Poor lapse rates and cooler temperatures will keep buoyancy will be modest, likely limiting overall updraft strength and tempering the severe potential. Even so, moderate northwesterly flow aloft will support long hodographs and the potential for some storm organization if updrafts can become sufficiently deep. An instance or two of hail is possible with any stronger, more long-lived storms. ..Mosier/Moore.. 08/25/2025 Read more

Tropical Storm Juliette Forecast Discussion Number 4

Issued at 800 AM MST Mon Aug 25 2025 003 WTPZ45 KNHC 251438 TCDEP5 Tropical Storm Juliette Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102025 800 AM MST Mon Aug 25 2025 Deep convection, with a fair amount of lightning, continues to burst over Juliette's center. There still appears to be some shear affecting the cyclone, although various diagnostics from UW-CIMSS and SHIPS suggest it has decreased to about 10 kt. Objective satellite intensity estimates are gradually increasing, and the maximum winds are estimated to now be 40 kt. With the shear now lower, steady intensification is anticipated during the next 36 hours or so while Juliette remains over waters warmer than 26 degrees Celsius. The NHC intensity forecast is at the top end of the guidance during this period. Weakening is forecast after 36 hours due to cooler waters and a drier, more stable atmosphere. The NHC forecast calls for Juliette to become post-tropical by Friday, although it could happen as early as Thursday. Juliette continues west-northwestward (290 degrees) at 11 kt. Due to a break in the subtropical ridge which has developed near and to the west of the Baja California peninsula, Juliette is expected to gradually turn toward the northwest on Tuesday, and then the north-northwest and north by Thursday and Friday. There is a typical amount of spread among the track guidance, and the NHC forecast takes a blend of the HCCA, Florida State Superensemble, Google Deep Mind, and TVCE consensus aids. This updated forecast is not too different from the previous prediction.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 800 AM MST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Juliette was located near latitude 17.1 North, longitude 113.1 West. Juliette is moving toward the west-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through early Tuesday. A turn toward the northwest is forecast later on Tuesday, followed by a slower motion toward the north-northwest by early Thursday. Maximum sustained winds are near 45 mph (75 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next day or two, with weakening beginning on Wednesday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center. A wind gust to 44 mph (71 km/h) was recently reported by an automated Mexican navy station on Clarion Island. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- None NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 200 PM MST. $$ Forecaster Berg

SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0738 AM CDT Mon Aug 25 2025 Valid 251300Z - 261200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHERN ARIZONA... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe wind gusts are possible over parts of south-central Arizona this afternoon through early evening. Otherwise, the potential for severe storms is low across the remainder of the continental U.S. ..Synopsis... A large upper-level trough will continue to amplify across the eastern CONUS today. High pressure, currently analyzed across the northern Plains early this morning will expand slowly southward through the day which will push the polar front off the Atlantic coast and perhaps into the Gulf. A persistent upper-level ridge will exist across the Southwest and into the Great Basin/Rocky Mountains. Beneath this ridge, a continued monsoon push will result in widespread thunderstorm activity this afternoon/evening. ...Southern Arizona... Thunderstorms are forecast to develop this afternoon/evening across much of the Southwest amid weak to moderate instability (1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE) as temperatures cool aloft. A belt of stronger mid-level southeasterly flow (20-25 kt) is forecast to overspread the region and provide ample shear for some multicell storm clusters. Initial storms which are expected to form across the higher terrain in southeast Arizona may result in congealing outflow with a damaging wind threat as storms move generally west-northwestward through the evening. ..Guyer/Kerr.. 08/25/2025 Read more
