SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0109 AM CDT Tue Apr 09 2024 Valid 101200Z - 111200Z ...Synopsis... A strong mid-level jet streak will align with northwesterly low-level flow in the wake of a surface low across Texas on Wednesday. This will result in very strong northwesterly flow across much of Texas with sustained winds up to 30 mph expected near the Red River and into southern Texas, beneath the strongest mid-level flow. In this same region, relative humidity of 20 to 25 percent is expected. These conditions will combine for critical meteorological fire weather conditions. However, have only added an Elevated delineation, as fuel status remains questionable across portions of southern Texas. Fuels greened up across this region earlier this spring, but there has been minimal precipitation over the past 2 weeks. An additional complicating factor is the potential for wetting rain on Day 1 (Tuesday/Tuesday night) which would significantly impact fuel receptiveness across some portions of the area. Therefore, an Elevated delineation seems warranted at this time. ..Bentley.. 04/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

MD 0391 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 93... FOR PARTS OF NORTH TX
Mesoscale Discussion 0391 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1149 PM CDT Mon Apr 08 2024 Areas affected...Parts of north TX Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 93... Valid 090449Z - 090615Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 93 continues. SUMMARY...Very large hail (golfball to baseball size) remains possible with an ongoing supercell cluster. A brief tornado cannot be ruled out. DISCUSSION...Several supercells are ongoing at 0445 UTC to the west-northwest of the Metroplex, with multiple cells having produced golfball or larger sized hail (up to 3 inches in diameter) within the last hour. While some cell interactions/mergers have been noted with the northernmost cells, the two right-moving supercells ongoing west of Mineral Wells and north of Fort Worth may be able to move east-northeastward with minimal interference in the short term. MLCAPE of around 2000 J/kg and effective shear of 45-55 kt will continue to support supercell potential into the early overnight hours, with very large hail (potentially 2-3 inches in diameter with the strongest cells) as the primary threat, along with some risk for localized severe gusts. Also, low-level flow has substantially increased over the last 1-2 hours on the KFWS VWP, with 0-1 km SRH increasing above 150 m2/s2. This could support a brief tornado threat with the strongest right-moving cells, though relatively cool near-surface conditions may mitigate this threat to some extent. ..Dean.. 04/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0106 AM CDT Tue Apr 09 2024 Valid 091200Z - 101200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR THE TEXAS BIG BEND... ...Synopsis... A compact upper-low will move out of the Southwest and into central Texas today. A strong mid-level jet will emerge across the Texas Big Bend where a deeply mixed atmosphere is present. 20 to 25 mph sustained surface winds are expected with relative humidity of 8 to 12 percent. Fuels in the region are very dry with minimal precipitation in the past 30 days. Therefore, critical fire weather conditions are expected. A wind shift will occur during the evening as a cold front moves south into the region which may lead to erratic fire spread with any ongoing fires in the region. ..Bentley.. 04/09/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
