MD 1753 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 572... FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN INTO SOUTH-CENTRAL SOUTH DAKOTA AND FAR NORTH-CENTRAL NEBRASKA
Mesoscale Discussion 1753 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0632 PM CDT Tue Jul 30 2024 Areas affected...Portions of western into south-central South Dakota and far north-central Nebraska Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 572... Valid 302332Z - 310100Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 572 continues. SUMMARY...The risk of large hail and locally severe gusts continues across Severe Thunderstorm Watch 572. DISCUSSION...A few discrete supercells are ongoing from portions of west-central SD to north-central NE -- generally focused immediately ahead of a north/south-oriented dryline/lee trough. These storms have been producing severe hail ranging from 1.25-2.00 inches in diameter. Middle/upper 60s to lower 70s dewpoints and steep deep-layer lapse rates are contributing to strong surface-based instability, which combined with 40-50 kt of effective shear, will support a continued increase in updraft intensity during the next few hours. Generally weak large-scale and mesoscale ascent will likely favor a continued discrete/semi-discrete supercell mode, with large to very large hail and locally severe gusts the main concerns. Currently, the most intense discrete supercell is turning/deviating to the south-southeast across southern Ziebach County, SD. With minimal inhibition and the aforementioned shear/instability downstream across southwest/south-central SD, this is the most favorable corridor for very large hail (up to around 2.5 inches) and severe gusts upwards of 75 mph. ..Weinman.. 07/30/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1754 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF THE TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA PANHANDLES INTO FAR SOUTHWEST KANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 1754 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0651 PM CDT Tue Jul 30 2024 Areas affected...Portions of the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles into far southwest Kansas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 302351Z - 310115Z Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent SUMMARY...An isolated strong to severe storm or two cannot be ruled out across portions of the TX/OK Panhandles into far southwest KS into this evening. DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms are evolving along/immediately ahead of a lee trough/dryline extending across the TX/OK Panhandles into far southwest KS. Theses storms are in an environment characterized by surface temperatures in the low 100s F and dewpoints in the lower 60s. While vertical winds shear is not particularly strong (around 20-25 kt effective shear), the well-mixed boundary layer and somewhat focused mesoscale ascent could support an isolated strong/severe wind gust and perhaps marginally severe hail with any longer-lived storms. The risk appears too localized for a watch consideration. ..Weinman/Hart.. 07/30/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...OUN...DDC...AMA...

MD 1752 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 574... FOR NORTHERN INTO CENTRAL GEORGIA AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF EASTERN ALABAMA
Mesoscale Discussion 1752 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0627 PM CDT Tue Jul 30 2024 Areas affected...northern into central Georgia and adjacent portions of eastern Alabama Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 574... Valid 302327Z - 310130Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 574 continues. SUMMARY...A cluster of thunderstorms may overspread much of the Greater Atlanta metro area through 9-10 PM EDT, accompanied by strong to locally severe wind gusts. DISCUSSION...A downburst associated with collapsing convection produced wind gusts to 54 kt at Chattanooga Metropolitan airport at 2216Z, where 2 hourly surface pressure rises up to at least 3.8 mb were recorded in the 23Z surface observations. This is within a broader cold pool advancing across the higher terrain of southeastern Tennessee, western North Carolina and northeastern Georgia. Near the leading edge of the outflow associated with the stronger downburst, convection has re-intensified some in a small cluster. Aided by wind profiles including light westerly low-level flow beneath 20-30 kt north-northwesterly mid/upper flow, modest southwesterly system relative inflow may continue to support strongest renewed convective development south/southwestward across much of the Greater Atlanta metro through 01-02Z. Given the 30 kt forward propagation, most peak gusts may remain on the order of 30-40 kt on the larger-scale, but locally stronger downbursts remain possible. ..Kerr.. 07/30/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 PM PDT Tue Jul 30 2024

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

South of Southern Mexico (EP94):
Shower and thunderstorm activity continues to show signs of
organization with an area of low pressure located a few hundred
miles south of the southern coast of Mexico. Environmental
conditions appear conducive for further development of this system,
and a tropical depression is expected to form over the next day or
so. The system is forecast to move westward to west-northwestward at
10 to 15 mph during the next several days, remaining offshore of the
southern coast of Mexico.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...90 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

Western East Pacific (EP95):
An area of low pressure has developed well to the southwest of the
southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, and shower and
thunderstorm activity associated with the system continues to show
some signs of organization. Additional development of this system is
possible, and a tropical depression could form by the end of this
week. This system is forecast to move slowly westward at 5 to 10
mph, remaining over the western portion of the basin.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...30 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...medium...40 percent.

South of Central America and Southern Mexico:
An area of low pressure is forecast to form offshore of the coast of
Central America and southern Mexico later this week. Afterwards,
environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of
this system, and a tropical depression is likely to form by the end
of the week or this weekend. The system is forecast to move westward
to west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph during the next several days,
remaining offshore.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...80 percent.
