A series of mid-level troughs will progress across the Rockies into the Midwest and Northeast today. Surface high pressure will dominate the Interior West, while lee surface troughing will encourage the northward transport of a moist low-level airmass to much of the U.S. east of the Rockies. The net result will be quiescent fire weather conditions across much of the CONUS. ..Squitieri.. 09/22/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

Tropical Storm Narda Forecast Discussion Number 2

4 days 11 hours ago
Issued at 900 PM CST Sun Sep 21 2025 725 WTPZ44 KNHC 220232 TCDEP4 Tropical Storm Narda Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP142025 900 PM CST Sun Sep 21 2025 Narda hasn't become significantly better organized on satellite images over the past several hours. Convective banding features are not yet well defined, and the overall cloud pattern is still somewhat elongated from east to west. The system is currently experiencing moderate east-northeasterly shear. The current intensity estimate is held at 35 kt which is the mean of subjective Dvorak values from TAFB and SAB. The motion appears to be continuing toward the northwest, or around 305/9 kt. Global models show a mid-level ridge strengthening to the north of Narda during the next couple of days. This environmental flow evolution should cause the cyclone to turn toward the west with some increase in forward speed during the next 48 hours or so, which should keep the center to the south of the southern coast of Mexico. The official track forecast is a blend of the latest corrected and simple consensus predictions, TVCN and HCCA. This is very similar to the previous official forecast. Late in the forecast period, the ridge to the north weakens, which should result in a northward turn. Narda is expected to continue to be affected by moderate vertical wind shear for the next several days. However, the tropical cyclone should remain embedded in a very moist air mass and situated over a very warm oceans through the middle of the forecast period. The intensity model guidance is in good agreement that the system will strengthen into a hurricane within 36-48 hours and should continue to intensity until SSTs gradually lower later in the week. The official intensity forecast is similar to the latest Decay-SHIPS guidance and just slightly above the latest HCCA prediction.

Tropical Storm Narda Public Advisory Number 2

4 days 11 hours ago
Issued at 900 PM CST Sun Sep 21 2025 975 WTPZ34 KNHC 220231 TCPEP4 BULLETIN Tropical Storm Narda Advisory Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP142025 900 PM CST Sun Sep 21 2025 ...NARDA LIKELY TO INTENSIFY WHILE REMAINING OFFSHORE OF MEXICO... SUMMARY OF 900 PM CST...0300 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...15.3N 100.5W ABOUT 180 MI...290 KM SSE OF ZIHUATANEJO MEXICO MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...40 MPH...65 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...NW OR 305 DEGREES AT 10 MPH...17 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...1005 MB...29.68 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 900 PM CST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Narda was located near latitude 15.3 North, longitude 100.5 West. Narda is moving toward the northwest near 10 mph (17 km/h), and a turn to the west-northwest is expected by tomorrow. Narda should be moving faster to the west by midweek. Maximum sustained winds are near 40 mph (65 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Narda could become a hurricane on Tuesday. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 70 miles (110 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 1005 mb (29.68 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Narda will lead to storm total rainfall of 1 to 2 inches, with local amounts up to 4 inches, for coastal sections of southern Mexico through Tuesday. This brings a risk of flash flooding, especially in areas of higher terrain. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 300 AM CST. $$ Forecaster Pasch

MD 2114 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 616... FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
Mesoscale Discussion 2114 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0756 PM CDT Sun Sep 21 2025 Areas affected...Portions of the southern Plains Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 616... Valid 220056Z - 220230Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 616 continues. SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will gradually decrease in intensity over the next few hours. Until then, isolated wind/hail threat will continue, primarily across southern and eastern portions of ww616. New watch will not be issued. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm clusters that evolved along/near surface front, along the northern plume of steep low-level lapse rates, continue propagating southeast early this evening. Midlevel flow is becoming more northwesterly as the southern Plains short-wave trough approaches the Arklatex. 00z sounding from FWD exhibited fairly steep lapse rates through 4-5km, with substantial PW values, though possibly contaminated by nearby storms. As nocturnal cooling weakens buoyancy, updrafts should gradually weaken. Latest radar trends suggest this is already taking place. Even so, low-level inflow remains favorable for this activity to propagate across much of the remainder of north central TX, with at least an isolated wind/hail risk for the next few hours. Greatest concentration of robust storms will likely extend along a corridor from Erath-Dallas/Ellis County through 03z. ..Darrow.. 09/22/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Isolated large hail and severe gusts remain possible with storms this evening across parts of the southern Plains into the Ozarks. Other strong to locally severe storms may continue through the evening from southeast South Dakota into southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. ...North Texas into the Ozarks... Storms have generally diminished in coverage and intensity this evening across north Texas, due to increasing MLCINH and warming midlevel temperatures (as noted in regional 00Z soundings), though a favorably veering wind profile and steep lapse rates below 500 mb will continue to support potential for an isolated supercell or two and an attendant threat of hail and strong to severe gusts, for as long as vigorous convection persists this evening. Farther northeast, a modest southwesterly low-level jet may help to maintain storms into late tonight from eastern OK into northwest AR. Moderate MUCAPE and marginally sufficient deep-layer shear could support localized strong/damaging gusts and marginal hail with the strongest storms. ...Southeast SD into southern MN/northern IA... Isolated cells have produced sporadic severe hail across parts of southern MN late this afternoon into the early evening, to the south of a mid/upper-level cyclone over central MN. Some redevelopment remains possible this evening, within a modest low-level warm advection regime. Relatively cool temperatures aloft, moderate buoyancy, and effective shear of 25-35 kt will continue to support potential for occasionally organized cells with an isolated hail threat. Some clustering is possible late tonight, which could be accompanied by locally gusty winds, but increasing low-level stability may temper the damaging-wind threat. ..Dean.. 09/22/2025 Read more

Moderate MUCAPE and marginally sufficient deep-layer shear could support localized strong/damaging gusts and marginal hail with the strongest storms. ...Southeast SD into southern MN/northern IA... Isolated cells have produced sporadic severe hail across parts of southern MN late this afternoon into the early evening, to the south of a mid/upper-level cyclone over central MN. Some redevelopment remains possible this evening, within a modest low-level warm advection regime. Relatively cool temperatures aloft, moderate buoyancy, and effective shear of 25-35 kt will continue to support potential for occasionally organized cells with an isolated hail threat. Some clustering is possible late tonight, which could be accompanied by locally gusty winds, but increasing low-level stability may temper the damaging-wind threat. ..Dean.. 09/22/2025 Read more
