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

On Thursday, a large-scale mid-level trough is forecast to be in place over the eastern U.S., as a ridge remains over the central Rockies. A pocket of moderate instability could develop in the Ark-La-Tex Thursday afternoon, near an east-to-west front in the Red River Valley. Enough deep-layer is forecast for an isolated severe threat, but some uncertainty exists concerning the magnitude of any threat. The front is forecast to move southward into the Gulf Coast states on Friday. Thunderstorm development will be possible near the front from east Texas into Louisiana, where an isolated severe threat could again develop during the afternoon. However, deep-layer shear is forecast to remain relatively weak, would should keep any severe threat marginal. Further northwest on Friday, an axis of instability is forecast across the southern and central High Plains. Isolated to scattered thunderstorms could develop along and near this axis from late afternoon into the evening. This same potential will be possible on Saturday as the instability axis remains in place across the southern and central High Plains. The combination of instability and deep-layer shear is forecast to be sufficient for a marginal severe threat both on Friday and Saturday. ...Sunday/Day 7 and Monday/Day 8... From Sunday into Monday, a mid-level ridge is forecast to move eastward across the southern and central Plains. In the wake of this feature, scattered thunderstorms could develop across the High Plains near a north-to-south axis of instability. A marginal severe threat will be possible each afternoon and evening, but deep-layer shear is forecast remain relatively weak. This should be a limiting factor concerning any severe potential.

Tropical Storm Juliette Forecast Discussion Number 3

Issued at 200 AM MST Mon Aug 25 2025 264 WTPZ45 KNHC 250835 TCDEP5 Tropical Storm Juliette Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102025 200 AM MST Mon Aug 25 2025 Since the time of the previous NHC advisory, the sheared convective burst associated with the tropical cyclone has grown larger, with a large area of cloud tops colder than -80C on GOES-West infrared imagery. Furthermore, the low level center, which had been exposed to the east of the burst, appears to have moved underneath the eastern edge of the convection. This suggests the moderate northeasterly vertical wind shear is weakening. The UW-CIMSS objective intensity estimates have been steadily increasing, and are now in the 32-35 kt range. TAFB provided a subjective Dvorak estimate of 35 kt, and an ASCAT pass from 25/0441 UTC showed a few 35 kt vectors in the deep convection that might have been a bit rain-inflated. Regardless of the accuracy of the ASCAT data, given the improving satellite presentation and persistence of the large, cold convective mass, the depression is upgraded to Tropical Storm Juliette with a 35-kt intensity. Juliette is moving west-northwestward, or 290/11 kt on the south side of a subtropical high. This general motion is expected to continue during the next day or so. After that time, a gradual turn to the northwest is forecast as the system is influenced by a weakness in the subtropical ridge. The model guidance has shifted to the left and a bit faster compared to the previous cycle, and so has the NHC forecast. The latest official forecast is in best agreement with the HFIP corrected consensus (HCCA) model. Spread in the model guidance increases by day 3, and the NHC forecast shows the cyclone slowing down at that time, similar to consensus aids. Environmental conditions appear favorable for Juliette to strengthen for at least 36-42 more hours. The 10-kt northeasterly vertical shear being experienced by the cyclone should diminish to single digits later today, while the system traverses warm ocean waters. By 48 h, Juliette should reach colder waters and a more stable atmosphere, and these conditions will induce weakening. The latest NHC intensity forecast is slightly higher than the previous one and lies at the high end of the model guidance at 36-48 h. The reason for this is that with the shift in the forecast track to the left, Juliette should have a few additional hours to strengthen before it reaches the less favorable conditions. With the decreasing shear later today, there should be enough time for Juliette to become a high-end tropical storm.

Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0214 AM CDT Mon Aug 25 2025 Valid 271200Z - 281200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... The potential for severe storms appears to be low across the continental U.S. for Wednesday and Wednesday night. ...DISCUSSION... A mid-level cyclonic flow pattern is forecast to be maintained over much of the eastern half of the nation on Wednesday, as a shortwave ridge stays in place over the southern and central Rockies. At the surface, a large area of high pressure will remain centered on the mid Mississippi Valley. Along the western periphery of this post-frontal airmass, low-level moisture return is forecast over the southern plains on Wednesday. An axis of instability appears likely to develop by late afternoon along the northern edge of the returning low-level moisture from western Oklahoma into southwest Kansas. As an 850 mb jet strengthens during the evening, isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop from near this instability axis eastward across parts of central and eastern Kansas. It appears this convection will remain non-severe, and may be primarily elevated in nature. Elsewhere across the continental U.S., no severe threat is expected Wednesday or Wednesday night. ..Broyles.. 08/25/2025 Read more

Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0214 AM CDT Mon Aug 25 2025 Valid 271200Z - 281200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... The potential for severe storms appears to be low across the continental U.S. for Wednesday and Wednesday night. ...DISCUSSION... A mid-level cyclonic flow pattern is forecast to be maintained over much of the eastern half of the nation on Wednesday, as a shortwave ridge stays in place over the southern and central Rockies. At the surface, a large area of high pressure will remain centered on the mid Mississippi Valley. Along the western periphery of this post-frontal airmass, low-level moisture return is forecast over the southern plains on Wednesday. An axis of instability appears likely to develop by late afternoon along the northern edge of the returning low-level moisture from western Oklahoma into southwest Kansas. As an 850 mb jet strengthens during the evening, isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop from near this instability axis eastward across parts of central and eastern Kansas. It appears this convection will remain non-severe, and may be primarily elevated in nature. Elsewhere across the continental U.S., no severe threat is expected Wednesday or Wednesday night. ..Broyles.. 08/25/2025 Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0159 AM CDT Mon Aug 25 2025 Valid 261200Z - 271200Z ...Synopsis... Well-established monsoonal moisture will remain in place across the Northwest on Tuesday. Boundary-layer mixing beneath the rich midlevel moisture will contribute to sufficient buoyancy for diurnally driven high-based thunderstorms along the Cascades, where fuels are dry. Inverted-V profiles and 0.80-0.90 inch PW will favor a mix of wet/dry thunderstorms capable of producing gusty/erratic outflow winds and lightning-induced ignitions. A continuation of wet/dry thunderstorms are also expected across parts of northern CA and the northern Rockies, though uncertainty regarding fuel receptiveness in these areas precludes highlights at this time. ..Weinman.. 08/25/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
