SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0443 PM CDT Wed May 22 2024 Valid 241200Z - 301200Z ...Day 3/Friday - Southwest... A large-scale trough will move gradually eastward across the western CONUS, while a related belt of moderate west-southwesterly midlevel flow overspreads a dry/deeply mixed air mass over the Southwest. This will promote a deepening surface low over the southern Great Basin, with a tightening pressure gradient across the Southwest. These factors will yield strong/gusty surface winds and low RH across much of AZ and NM, with the best chance for several hours of critical conditions over northeast AZ and northwest NM -- where fuels should be at least modestly receptive to large-fire spread. ...Day 4/Saturday - Southwest and southern High Plains... As the large-scale trough continues eastward across the western CONUS, a strong midlevel jet streak will cross the Southwest and southern High Plains during peak heating. This will result in a deepening lee cyclone over the central High Plains, with a sharpening dryline extending southward over the southern High Plains. West of the dryline, a tightening pressure gradient and deep boundary-layer mixing into the strong flow aloft, will support an expansive area of strong/gusty surface winds and low RH across NM into west TX. Given increasingly dry/receptive fuels over much of the area, widespread critical fire-weather conditions are expected. Strong midlevel westerly flow trailing the aforementioned trough will persist across NM on Day 5/Sunday, where warm/dry conditions will persist. As a result, elevated to locally critical conditions are expected, before winds decrease across the region through the remainder of the extended forecast period. ..Weinman.. 05/22/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

WW 285 SEVERE TSTM AR KY MO MS TN 221645Z - 230000Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 285 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1145 AM CDT Wed May 22 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Northeast Arkansas Southwest Kentucky Southeast Missouri Northern Mississippi Western Tennessee * Effective this Wednesday morning and evening from 1145 AM until 700 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Thunderstorms that are forming over eastern Arkansas will intensify this afternoon and spread eastward across the watch area. Locally damaging wind gusts and hail are possible with the stronger cells. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles north and south of a line from 40 miles south southwest of Jonesboro AR to 30 miles south southeast of Clarksville TN. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. 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. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 284... AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2 inches.

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 284 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1005 AM CDT Wed May 22 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Central and Western Arkansas Southeast Oklahoma Northeast Texas * Effective this Wednesday morning and afternoon from 1005 AM until 500 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...Intensifying thunderstorms over eastern Oklahoma will track across Arkansas through the afternoon, posing a risk of large hail and damaging winds.

MD 0895 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 285... FOR WESTERN/MIDDLE TN...FAR SOUTHWEST/SOUTH-CENTRAL KY...NORTHERN MS
Mesoscale Discussion 0895 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0308 PM CDT Wed May 22 2024 Areas affected...Western/Middle TN...Far Southwest/South-Central KY...Northern MS Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 285... Valid 222008Z - 222145Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 285 continues. SUMMARY...Threat for damaging gusts and isolated hail continues from western/middle Tennessee into southwest/south-central Kentucky, with a corridor of greater potential for severe gusts from western into northern middle TN. Additionally, a downstream watch with the next hour. DISCUSSION...Upscale growth/linear transition has occurred with the cells that moved across far northeast AR into far western TN, with the resulting convective line now moving eastward/northeastward across western TN. Radar imagery shows a velocity signature indicative of a rear-inflow jet , with limited reflective behind this area indicative of a descending rear-inflow jet as well. Expectation is for this line to progress northeastward, with the ongoing storms preceding the line representing a favored corridor for propagation. This corridor also represents an area for greater damaging gust potential over the next hour or so. Overall progression of this line will likely necessitate the need for a downstream watch with the next hour. Farther south, the ongoing cluster across far east-central AR/northwest MS will continue to pose a risk for isolated hail and damaging gusts as it moves gradually eastward across northern MS this afternoon. ..Mosier.. 05/22/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
