URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 106 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 645 PM EDT Thu Apr 11 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Western North Carolina South central Virginia * Effective this Thursday evening from 645 PM until 1100 PM EDT. * Primary threats include...

MD 0425 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 105... FOR WEST VIRGINIA...FAR WESTERN MARYLAND...FAR SOUTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA
Mesoscale Discussion 0425 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0543 PM CDT Thu Apr 11 2024 Areas affected...West Virginia...Far Western Maryland...Far Southwest Pennsylvania Concerning...Tornado Watch 105... Valid 112243Z - 120045Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 105 continues. SUMMARY...An isolated tornado and wind-damage threat is expected to continue across parts of the central Appalachians for several more hours this evening. At this time, it appears that new watch issuance to the east of the ongoing watch will be unlikely. DISCUSSION...The latest water vapor imagery shows an upper-level trough over the Ohio and Tennessee Valleys, with the exit region of a mid-level jet moving across the central Appalachians. Large-scale ascent appears to be maximized within this feature, which will continue to support scattered thunderstorm development this evening. The exit region of the jet was also creating moderate deep-layer shear over the top of a weakly unstable airmass, with MLCAPE estimated between 250 and 500 J/kg. The instability and shear should be just enough to continue an isolated tornado and wind-damage threat over the next few hours with the watch. An isolated severe threat could also develop just to the east of the current watch, but the magnitude of the threat is expected to be too marginal for new weather watch issuance. ..Broyles.. 04/11/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0424 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN NORTH/SOUTH CAROLINA INTO SOUTHERN VIRGINIA
Mesoscale Discussion 0424 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0524 PM CDT Thu Apr 11 2024 Areas affected...portions of western North/South Carolina into southern Virginia Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 112224Z - 120030Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...The potential for damaging wind gusts and a couple of tornadoes may increase through this evening. While there is some uncertainty in storm coverage/intensity a watch is possible. DISCUSSION...As of 2215 UTC, regional satellite and radar showed small storms developing across portions of western NC into northern SC. While small, lightning and reflectively structures have intensified over the last 30 minutes, indicating deepening updrafts. Ongoing within a relatively moist environment (dewpoints in the mid 60s F) modest low and mid-level lapse rates are contributing to 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE. 60-70 kt of deep-layer shear from area VADs and modest forcing for ascent are favorable for storm organization with supercell structures. While storms have steadily increased in intensity, modest buoyancy/lapse rates have so far favored relatively low topped convection. However, further maturation is possible, and low-level shear is forecast to increase through this evening as storms move north/northeast. Effective SRH of 200-350 m2/s2 from SPC mesoanalysis may support a risk for a couple of tornadoes with the more robust supercells able to become established. Damaging gusts will also be possible given strong background flow. Given the potential for some increase in the tornado/wind risk this evening, a WW is possible. ..Lyons/Thompson.. 04/11/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0459 PM CDT Thu Apr 11 2024 Valid 131200Z - 191200Z An upper-level low will approach the west coast on D3 - Saturday, with weak lee troughing developing across the Plains. This will bring a return of breezy/dry conditions across the high Plains on D3 - Saturday and D4 - Sunday. Spotty elevated fire weather conditions will be possible across central New Mexico, but limited coverage (mainly in sustained Critical winds) does not warrant inclusion of probabilities at this time. Confidence is increasing in a period of high impact fire weather conditions across the southern High plains as the western upper-level low ejects into the Plains on D5 - Monday continuing into D6 - Tuesday. ...D5 - D6 (Monday and Tuesday) Southern High Plains... Low level moisture will begin to stream northward into the southern Plains on D4 - Sunday ahead of the western trough. Strong lee cyclogenesis is forecast across the high Plains on D5 - Monday. As a result strengthening surface winds are forecast with potential for dangerous fire weather conditions to develop across the central and southern high Plains behind the surface dry line. Given the favorable pattern, a broad 40 percent area was added with additional 70 percent areas where confidence is highest in Critical fuels. Portions of east-central New Mexico into the Texas Panhandle did receive widespread wetting rainfall in the last 7-14 days. Recent coordination with local partners indicates that fuels across east-central New Mexico have experienced drying since that event and will likely support fire spread potential by D6. Fuels across the Texas Panhandle indicate that further drying can be expected in the coming 48 hours. Fire weather concerns may spread further east into the Texas Panhandle southward into southwestern Texas as the dryline mixes eastward through the afternoon. These areas may need to be adjusted in the coming days. Behind this departing surface low on D6 - Tuesday and D7 - Wednesday, strong westerly flow will persist across eastern New Mexico into far western Texas as another wave of enhanced westerly flow overspreads the Rockies. A 40 percent delineation was added to cover the potential for continued near Critical to Critical conditions. There is some uncertainty in the coverage of Critical winds, which leads to low confidence in higher probabilities at this time. This will be monitored in the coming days. ..Thornton.. 04/11/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0459 PM CDT Thu Apr 11 2024 Valid 131200Z - 191200Z An upper-level low will approach the west coast on D3 - Saturday, with weak lee troughing developing across the Plains. This will bring a return of breezy/dry conditions across the high Plains on D3 - Saturday and D4 - Sunday. Spotty elevated fire weather conditions will be possible across central New Mexico, but limited coverage (mainly in sustained Critical winds) does not warrant inclusion of probabilities at this time. Confidence is increasing in a period of high impact fire weather conditions across the southern High plains as the western upper-level low ejects into the Plains on D5 - Monday continuing into D6 - Tuesday. ...D5 - D6 (Monday and Tuesday) Southern High Plains... Low level moisture will begin to stream northward into the southern Plains on D4 - Sunday ahead of the western trough. Strong lee cyclogenesis is forecast across the high Plains on D5 - Monday. As a result strengthening surface winds are forecast with potential for dangerous fire weather conditions to develop across the central and southern high Plains behind the surface dry line. Given the favorable pattern, a broad 40 percent area was added with additional 70 percent areas where confidence is highest in Critical fuels. Portions of east-central New Mexico into the Texas Panhandle did receive widespread wetting rainfall in the last 7-14 days. Recent coordination with local partners indicates that fuels across east-central New Mexico have experienced drying since that event and will likely support fire spread potential by D6. Fuels across the Texas Panhandle indicate that further drying can be expected in the coming 48 hours. Fire weather concerns may spread further east into the Texas Panhandle southward into southwestern Texas as the dryline mixes eastward through the afternoon. These areas may need to be adjusted in the coming days. Behind this departing surface low on D6 - Tuesday and D7 - Wednesday, strong westerly flow will persist across eastern New Mexico into far western Texas as another wave of enhanced westerly flow overspreads the Rockies. A 40 percent delineation was added to cover the potential for continued near Critical to Critical conditions. There is some uncertainty in the coverage of Critical winds, which leads to low confidence in higher probabilities at this time. This will be monitored in the coming days. ..Thornton.. 04/11/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more
