URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 503 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 345 PM MDT Wed Jul 3 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Southwest South Dakota * Effective this Wednesday afternoon and evening from 345 PM until 900 PM MDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...A cluster of thunderstorms west of the Black Hills will track east-southeastward across the watch area through the early evening, posing a risk of damaging winds and large hail. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 45 statute miles north and south of a line from 55 miles west southwest of Rapid City SD to 40 miles south southeast of Philip SD.

MD 1530 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 501...502...504... FOR SOUTHWEST/SOUTH-CENTRAL NE...NORTHWEST KS...EAST-CENTRAL CO
Mesoscale Discussion 1530 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0653 PM CDT Wed Jul 03 2024 Areas affected...southwest/south-central NE...northwest KS...east-central CO Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 501...502...504... Valid 032353Z - 040130Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 501, 502, 504 continues. SUMMARY...Multiple swaths of severe hail and wind are expected to evolve east-southeastward across parts of southern Nebraska and northwest Kansas through sunset. This will include risks for significant severe hail to around 2.5 inches in diameter and wind gusts to around 80 mph, as well as a brief tornado or two. DISCUSSION...Multiple linear segments/clusters and embedded/discrete supercells are ongoing across parts of east-central CO into central NE. Moderate buoyancy persists ahead of this activity, with the peak axis along the CO/KS border into far southwest NE. Severe wind potential will probably be comparatively greater across northwest KS as the east-central CO spreads across this buoyancy plume, a scenario continuing to be advertised by recent WoFS guidance. This may yield gusts from 65-80 mph. Farther northeast, measured wind gusts have been generally strong owing to the slow-moving and backbuilding nature of the QLCS, especially with southwestward extent. Still, gusts from 50-65 mph will remain possible from southwest into central NE. ..Grams.. 07/03/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...GID...LBF...GLD...

MD 1528 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF FAR SOUTHEAST MISSOURI...EXTREME SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...EXTREME SOUTHWESTERN INDIANA...WESTERN INTO CENTRAL KENTUCKY

The severe threat is expected to remain isolated, and a WW issuance is not expected. DISCUSSION...An uptick in thunderstorm coverage and intensity has recently occurred along a stationary boundary, evident via MRMS mosaic and regional radar imagery. These storms are slowly propagating southward into a pristine environment with surface temperatures still over 90 F amid low to mid 70s F dewpoints, yielding over 3000 J/kg MLCAPE in spots. Still, vertical shear is modest at best, with around 30 kts of effective bulk shear that is oriented (vector-wise) roughly parallel with the orientation of ongoing linear convection. Given 7.5 0-3 km lapse rates, at least a couple of strong wind gusts are possible, and a severe gust cannot be completely ruled out. Nonetheless, the severe threat should remain isolated and a WW issuance is not expected. ..Squitieri/Hart.. 07/03/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1529 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 501...503... FOR SOUTHWEST SD AND NORTHWEST NE
Mesoscale Discussion 1529 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0616 PM CDT Wed Jul 03 2024 Areas affected...Southwest SD and northwest NE Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 501...503... Valid 032316Z - 040045Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 501, 503 continues. SUMMARY...A long-lived supercell may continue to produce large hail as it moves east-southeast in southwest South Dakota. Additional higher-based storms may develop to its southwest in northwest Nebraska, yielding a severe threat beyond the 01Z expiration of WW 501. DISCUSSION...A long-lived supercell has tracked across a part of the Black Hills with several reported severe hail events, most recently up to around 1.5 inches in diameter. Per UDX radar, this cell is riding immediately behind the composite outflow/front moving southeast in southwest SD. The trailing portion of this boundary will impinge on a pocket of residual buoyancy that was not overturned by the QLCS in north-central to southwest NE. Recent HRRR guidance has been insistent on additional development through dusk, which would likely yield potential for a supercell or two into northwest NE after the 01Z scheduled expiration of WW 501. This threat should be short-lived however, given the extensive nature of the QLCS to the southeast and eventual inflow of overturned air as it advects northwestward this evening. ..Grams.. 07/03/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Valid 032246Z - 040015Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 502 continues. SUMMARY...A swath of severe wind gusts will likely spread into southwest Kansas from southeast Colorado. Gusts of 60-75 mph are probable. DISCUSSION...Initial cells are consolidating into a small cluster near and south of LHX in southeast CO. While this process is yielding weakening MRMS MESH cores, the threat for severe wind gusts will likely persist eastward as the cluster impinges on peak MLCAPE around 2000 J/kg near the southwest KS border. Recent WoFS guidance has been consistent that severe wind gusts will likely spread at least a couple tiers of counties into KS, with speeds of 70-75 mph anticipated. ..Grams.. 07/03/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

A couple instances of severe wind and hail are possible. However, any severe threat that materializes should remain isolated, so a WW issuance is not expected. DISCUSSION...Visible satellite and MRMS mosaic radar imagery shows a line of cumulus congestus and associated isolated thunderstorm development, located along a baroclinic boundary extending from southwestern MO into northeast OK. These storms are developing amid 2000 J/kg MLCAPE and 35+ kts of effective bulk shear. Straight hodographs with modest length are noted via regional VAD profilers, suggesting that multicells and perhaps transient supercells will be the primary modes of convection for any storms that can become established. Severe wind and hail are the main concerns. However, the severe threat should remain isolated, and a WW issuance is not currently anticipated. ..Squitieri/Hart.. 07/03/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 1525 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0528 PM CDT Wed Jul 03 2024 Areas affected...east-central CO into far northwest KS Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 501...502... Valid 032228Z - 032330Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 501, 502 continues. SUMMARY...The greatest risk for significant severe hail between 2-2.5 inches is anticipated through about 7 PM MDT over east-central Colorado near the I-70 corridor. An increase in severe wind potential is expected towards the northwest Kansas border. DISCUSSION...A pair of slow-moving supercells between Denver and Limon will have the greatest potential to produce large hail beyond 2 inches over the next 2-3 hours. These storms will move towards the peak buoyancy plume characterized by MLCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg along the CO/KS border area. With favorable westerly speed shear above 2 km AGL per the FTG/PUX VWP data, in conjunction with a modest increase in low-level south-southeasterly flow in the next few hours, intensification of these supercells is plausible. This will also include a risk for increasing severe wind gusts, as persistently indicated by recent WoFS guidance. ..Grams.. 07/03/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 PM PDT Wed Jul 3 2024

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Offshore of Southern Mexico (EP91):
Showers and thunderstorms associated with a broad area of low
pressure located a few hundred miles south of the southern coast of
Mexico continue to show signs of organization. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for some further development of this
system during the next day or so, and a short-lived tropical
depression could form during that time. On Friday, the system is
forecast to move over cooler waters and development after that time
is not expected. The disturbance is forecast to move northward to
northwestward at 10 to 15 mph, remaining offshore of the
southwestern coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium....60 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...60 percent.
