Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes. && AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 27030. ...Hart Read more

Drought in Tazewell County was drying up water sources, turning pastures into barren fields and cutting into hay production. “The amount of hay that we’ve lost, the amount of grazing that’s being suppressed. Farmers are having to sell their cattle earlier than they would have because there’s not enough grass and forage for them to continue grazing,” according to the extension agent for the county.

MD 1428 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHWESTERN IDAHO
Mesoscale Discussion 1428 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0247 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2024 Areas affected...Southwestern Idaho Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 261947Z - 262245Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms have developed over Southwestern ID in an environment supportive of isolated damaging wind gusts, marginally severe hail. Given overall uncertainty in convective coverage and longevity, weather watch issuance is not expected at this time. DISCUSSION...Scattered thunderstorms are expected to continue to develop this afternoon across Southwestern ID, as an upper-level shortwave trough over OR and WA continues to advance towards southern British Columbia. Surface temperatures have warmed into the upper 80s F, with dewpoints in the upper 50s F, resulting in MUCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg beneath 35-45 kts of deep layer vertical shear. Additionally, a local maxima of 0-1 km SRH is evident near Boise on both SPC Mesoanalysis and the Boise VAD wind profile, with values between 100-140 m^2/s^2. While the overall coverage and intensity of severe weather is expected to remain marginal, storms in this environment will be capable of isolated damaging wind gusts, and hail near 1-inch. Given uncertainty in convective coverage and intensity, weather watch issuance is not expected at this time, though convective trends will continue to be monitored. ..Halbert/Weinman/Hart.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1431 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 467... FOR EASTERN KENTUCKY INTO SOUTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA
Mesoscale Discussion 1431 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0335 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2024 Areas affected...eastern Kentucky into southwest Pennsylvania Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 467... Valid 262035Z - 262230Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 467 continues. SUMMARY...Storms are expected to increase in coverage and intensity over the next several hours, with locally damaging gusts or marginal hail. DISCUSSION...A narrow plume of stronger instability extends from KY into WV and southwest PA, where storms are forming within the uncapped air mass. The main cold front and deeper ascent will eventually interact with this area as it moves in from the northwest, leading to increased storm coverage and scattered strong to severe storms. The steep low-level lapse rates along around 30-40 kt midlevel flow may support quick moving storms with strong to damaging outflow. Otherwise, marginal hail will be possible with the cellular storm mode given deep-layer shear close to 35 kt. ..Jewell.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1430 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 465... FOR SOUTHEAST TEXAS INTO WEST-CENTRAL LOUISIANA
Mesoscale Discussion 1430 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0331 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2024 Areas affected...Southeast Texas into west-central Louisiana Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 465... Valid 262031Z - 262200Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 465 continues. SUMMARY...A convective line moving south across East TX into West-Central LA will continue to move south and weaken as it exits the WW area. While additional convective development is ongoing ahead of the line, additional downstream WW issuance is not expected due an anticipated lack of convective organization. DISCUSSION...A bowing line of thunderstorms is exiting the watch area into West-Central LA and East TX. Radar trends indicate the overall coverage and intensity of convection is weakening, and the severe threat both ahead and behind the line will decrease this afternoon... though isolated severe wind gusts may be possible in the short term. Further south, daytime airmass thunderstorms have developed in West-Central LA, but remain unorganized with the absence of supportive deep-layer vertical shear. Given current convective trends, downstream weather watch issuance is not expected. ..Halbert/Weinman.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1429 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR MUCH OF EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA INTO NEW JERSEY AND SOUTHEAST NEW YORK
Mesoscale Discussion 1429 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0302 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2024 Areas affected...much of eastern Pennsylvania into New Jersey and southeast New York Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 262002Z - 262200Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...At least isolated severe gusts or marginal hail may occur this afternoon, with a greater potential for more widespread thunderstorms this evening. DISCUSSION...The air mass continues to destabilize south of an east-west oriented boundary from the PA/NY border eastward into southern New England. Visible satellite shows increase CU fields, with a few thunderstorms now extending from south-central PA into northern VA. As the main upper wave continues east, storms over northern PA along the front may organize further with damaging winds over much of northern PA possible. Isolated activity over southern PA has outflow associated with it currently, and this may support further development across the remainder of southeast PA, and eventually into NJ and southern NY. As such, the area is being monitored for further intensification or increase in coverage of the existing activity, and another watch may be considered over the next few hours south and/or east of WW 464. ..Jewell/Hart.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Heat and the lack of rain has hurt dryland crops in Orangeburg County. The yield potential of the dryland corn has been severely affected, according to an Orangeburg County Clemson extension agent. He thought that some dryland fields would have a significantly reduced or even near zero yield. Irrigated corn looks about average or above average. Some of the corn was already dried up and will not benefit from forecast rain. Dryland crops such as cotton, peanuts, soybeans, sorghum, sesame and hay have not made good stands.

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0341 PM CDT Wed Jun 26 2024 Valid 281200Z - 041200Z The potential for critical fire weather conditions should remain limited through the extended period. Regional fire concerns remain possible over the weekend across parts of the Great Basin. Long-range ensemble guidance continues to show an upper-level shortwave trough amplifying over the Pacific Northwest during the D4/Sat to D5/Sun time frame. As this occurs, surface pressure falls across NV should support dry, breezy southerly winds across southern NV into western UT. The potential for critical fire weather conditions remains low for D4/Sat, but elevated conditions may develop by late afternoon. Fire weather potential may be greatest on D5/Sun afternoon ahead of an approaching cold front across the Great Basin. Deterministic and ensemble solutions continue to show a reasonable signal for critical fire weather conditions from eastern NV into northwest UT and southwest WY. However, it is unclear whether or not fuels will sufficiently dry by this weekend in the wake of widespread wetting rainfall over the next 12 hours. This concern precludes higher risk probabilities at this time, but trends will continue to be monitored. ..Moore.. 06/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more
