MD 1602 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN ARIZONA
Mesoscale Discussion 1602 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0345 PM CDT Mon Jul 17 2023 Areas affected...Parts of central and southern Arizona Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 172045Z - 172245Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Isolated severe gusts are possible through the afternoon. A watch is not expected given the localized/sporadic nature of the severe risk. DISCUSSION...Isolated thunderstorms are developing along the Mogollon Rim and far south-central AZ this afternoon, where temperatures have warmed into the 105-110 F range amid upper 50s dewpoints. The resulting deep boundary layer/steep low-level lapse rates -- characterized by an inverted-V thermodynamic profile -- will support dry microburts with severe-outflow potential with any stronger updrafts that develop. Weak deep-layer shear should generally limit updraft longevity/organization, and the overall coverage of severe storms is expected to remain too minimal for a watch. ..Weinman/Bunting.. 07/17/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC 2000Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0305 PM CDT Mon Jul 17 2023 Valid 172000Z - 181200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE CENTRAL/SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS TO THE OHIO VALLEY AND FROM EASTERN WYOMING SOUTHEAST INTO SOUTHWEST SOUTH DAKOTA AND NORTHERN NEBRASKA... ...SUMMARY... Severe storms producing large hail and damaging wind gusts are mainly expected from the Black Hills southeastward into Nebraska tonight, and across portions of the Ozarks and Lower Ohio Valley today. Shifted the slight/marginal risk farther north across the Ohio Valley to account for current location of the cold front and the threat for additional strong to severe thunderstorms. See MCD 1598 and 1599 for additional information. Expanded the marginal risk farther north into central Arizona. Thunderstorms are developing along the Gila Range with enough convective coverage for a potential cluster/cold pool to develop. The HRRR has trended toward this solution with the potential for some stronger wind gusts in a westward moving cluster this evening. Final change was expansion of the significant hail area across Missouri, into far western Illinois, and more of Kansas. The 18Z KSGF RAOB supports the potential for significant hail with nearly 4000 J/kg MLCAPE and 40 knots of effective shear. Storm mode will be the primary question as recent radar trends show significant upscale growth across central Missouri. This could mitigate the significant hail threat in that region and increase the potential for a concentrated severe wind swath. However, confidence is low how this cluster may evolve. Elsewhere, no changes were necessary. See MCD 1597 for information about northeast Oklahoma. ..Bentley.. 07/17/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1153 AM CDT Mon Jul 17 2023/ ...Central/southern Plains east Ozarks and Ohio Valley... Moderately strong northwest/west mid-level flow will persist from the central/southern Plains east to the OH Valley through tonight. Heating of a moist air mass ahead of a nearly stationary front, combined with a plume of steep mid-level lapse rates will result in a rather large region of strong to locally extreme instability in the presence of substantial deep-layer shear supportive of organized storms. Ongoing severe storm cluster over southeast KS will likely continue moving south-southeast into an environment characterized by 40-50 kts of shear and MLCAPE of 3000-4000 J/jg. Damaging winds and potentially very large hail will be possible with this complex as it moves across northeast OK. Additional thunderstorm development is likely across the Ozarks vicinity along remnant outflow boundaries this afternoon, ultimately resulting in additional clusters or line segments moving southeast/south through this evening. Damaging winds will be the primary severe threat, and with large (isolated very large) hail with the more discrete/intense updrafts. Across the OH Valley, clusters of thunderstorms are expected to develop as clearing/heating occurs in the wake of morning storms. Effective shear of 30-40 kts will support both supercell and multicell clusters persisting through the late afternoon and early evening with severe wind/hail potential. ...Eastern Wyoming/Black Hills/Nebraska... A sharpening lee trough ahead of the northern Rockies upper trough will result in moist low-level upslope flow into the Black Hills/eastern Wyoming and southeast Montana vicinity. The proximity of the upper ridge may somewhat temper the extent of deeper convection, however at least isolated thunderstorms are expected to develop by late afternoon/early evening in a moderately unstable and strongly sheared environment, with storms increasing in coverage toward/after sunset. Steep lapse rates and long straight hodographs will support large to locally very large (greater than 2 inch diameter) hail. As the low-level jet strengthens during the evening, upscale development into a bowing MCS is possible as convection tracks southeastward across western/southern South Dakota and Nebraska. Damaging gusts, potentially significant, may accompany this MCS during the evening and overnight hours, and a Significant Wind area has been added with this outlook. ...Northern Great Basin and Central/Eastern Montana... Moderate to strong west-southwest mid/upper-level flow will overspread the region ahead of the northern Rockies upper trough. Steep mid-level lapse rates and moistening will support MLCAPE around 500-1250 J/kg. Well-mixed boundary layers will result in mostly high-based, low-precipitation convection capable of sporadic strong dry microburst winds from far northeast Nevada/northern Utah into central Montana. With eastward extent into parts of eastern Montana, deeper boundary-layer moisture will result in the potential for isolated strong gusts as well as hail. ...Southern AZ... Diurnal heating of a moist environment (PW 1.5 inches) will contribute to afternoon MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg. Thunderstorm development is expected this afternoon, and dry mid-levels with 15-20 kts of easterly flow will result in a risk for gusty/damaging winds as storms move west through evening. Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0210 PM CDT Mon Jul 17 2023 Valid 181200Z - 191200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Eastern Great Basin and the Western Slope... On the fringes of the upper ridge, weak forcing for ascent and mid-level moisture will likely support isolated thunderstorms across portions of the eastern Great Basin and western Rockies Day2/Tuesday. Model soundings show relatively slow storm motions with PWATS near or approaching 1 inch. While fuels are somewhat receptive to lightning strikes, the mixed storm mode will likely favor lower ignition potential with these storms. While a few drier lightning strikes are possible, dry thunder coverage appears too low to introduce probabilities. Please see the previous discussion for more information. ..Lyons.. 07/17/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0200 AM CDT Mon Jul 17 2023/ ...Synopsis... For Tuesday, the upper-level trough within the Northwest will continue to the east into the northern Rockies and adjacent Plains. At the surface, a trough in the lee of the Rockies will shift east while a surface low develops in eastern Colorado and moves into Kansas/Oklahoma. ...Permian Basin... The deepening surface low will increase surface wind speeds from the Texas Panhandle into the Permian Basin. Wind speeds will be higher in the north and drop to 15 mph to the south. Fuels are only dry within the Permian Basin. While RH could fall to below 15% in some areas, winds will generally be to weak for fire weather concerns. ...Great Basin... With the upper-level anticyclone shifting east, some mid-level moisture return is possible into the Great Basin. Mid-level winds will remain enhanced along the southern flank of the passing trough to the north. Thunderstorms within Nevada/Utah could be a mix of wet and dry. While approaching critically dry in some areas, fuels are not overly receptive at this time. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1229 PM CDT Mon Jul 17 2023 Valid 181200Z - 191200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR PORTIONS OF THE LOWER-MISSOURI/MID-MISSISSIPPI VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... Thunderstorms associated with large hail and damaging wind gusts will be possible Tuesday evening into the overnight across parts of the mid Mississippi/Lower-Missouri Valley. Other strong to severe storms will also be possible in various parts of the CONUS from the Great Basin and the Plains to the Midwest and East Coast. ...Synopsis... The upper level pattern on Tuesday will feature a flat ridge across the western CONUS with a mid-level shortwave trough crossing Montana, another mid-level shortwave trough across the Corn Belt and a broader trough across the Great Lakes into the Northeast. The surface pattern will more nebulous with a diffuse surface front extending from the Northeast across the southern Great Lakes and into the Plains. Across the Plains, it will be a more defined warm front with a surface low across Kansas. This front will extend north from that surface low into the northern Plains. ...Lower Missouri Valley/Mid-Mississippi Valley/Lower Ohio Valley and Vicinity... Thunderstorms will likely be ongoing at the beginning of the period in one or more locations along a zone of mid-level frontogenesis extending from southeast South Dakota to northern Arkansas. Mid level height falls and the associated low-level jet response are expected to overspread the frontal zone between 06 and 12Z, but forecast soundings along this zone show varying low-level moisture which likely explains the variance in convective coverage along this zone from 12Z CAM guidance. This morning convection will have a significant impact on the forecast in the region. More widespread morning convection and development of a cold pool could support a severe weather threat tomorrow morning and continuing through the afternoon. However, if this does not occur, the warm sector would likely remain mostly capped during the day. Regardless of the evolution of morning convection, the signal remains strong for elevated convection along the Mississippi River near St. Louis during the overnight period as a 40-50 knot low-level jet develops across eastern Missouri amid 2000+ J/kg MUCAPE and 45-50 knots of mid-level flow. This will support the potential for elevated supercells along this zone starting between 04Z and 07Z late Tuesday night. Eventually these storms may grow into a forward propagating MCS with a severe wind threat into portions of western Kentucky/northern Tennessee early Wednesday morning. ...Northern Plains... Thunderstorms are expected across the northern Plains on Tuesday afternoon as cyclonic vorticity advection overspreads the region near peak heating. MLCAPE around 2000 to 2500 J/kg amid 35 to 40 knots of effective shear should support supercells developing along the frontal zone. Boundary normal flow should keep convection discrete and perhaps somewhat isolated. If more widespread storm coverage is anticipated, a slight risk may be needed for this region in later outlooks. ...Central High Plains... A few thunderstorms are possible late Tuesday afternoon as low-level flow veers from northeasterly to easterly and becomes more upslope with low-level moisture advection on the northern periphery of the surface cyclone. The favorable period may be relatively short lived since moisture arrives late, but a favorable environment may develop with 2000+ J/kg MLCAPE and a supercell wind profile. ...Eastern Carolinas to the Northeast... A broad region of weak ascent is expected from the Appalachians eastward as a mid-level trough translates eastward. Ahead of this trough, pockets of strong instability are expected to develop with the greatest instability across the eastern Carolinas. The most favorable shear is expected across portions of the Northeast where long, straight hodographs could support some supercells capable of large hail and damaging wind gusts. ...Great Basin... A deeply mixed airmass is expected Tuesday across the Great Basin with ample instability for scattered thunderstorms across much of the region. A belt of stronger mid-level flow around 30 knots will exist from east-central Nevada and across north-central Utah. This may support some storm organization with the potential for isolated severe wind gusts given the deeply mixed sub-cloud layer. ..Bentley.. 07/17/2023 Read more

MD 1583 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 500... FOR CENTRAL KANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 1583 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0519 PM CDT Sun Jul 16 2023 Areas affected...Central Kansas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 500... Valid 162219Z - 170015Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 500 continues. SUMMARY...A supercell capable of large/very large hail and severe wind gusts will likely continue to the south/southwest in central Kansas. Additional development is possible in west-central Kansas. Later this evening, the low-level jet could promote storm development in east-central/southeastern Kansas. DISCUSSION...A large supercell in central Kansas near I-70 has produced hail of 1.25-3 inches in the last hour or so. Measured severe wind gusts have also been observed along the western flank of the storm (recently 70 mph in Russell). Current observational trends in central Kansas show a pocket of dry/well-mixed air in the vicinity of Wichita. Greater moisture exists along an axis from Great Bend to Pratt. It is likely that this supercell will continue to track south to perhaps a bit southwest this afternoon. Strong effective shear and buoyancy will continue to support a threat for large/very large hail and severe wind gusts. Additional convection has attempted to develop and mature farther west along the outflow boundary. Should that occur some upscale growth is possible and severe winds would become more probable. Low-level shear is weak per area VAD profiles, and the tornado threat is generally low as a result. The exception would be along the outflow into southeastern Kansas, though storms are not likely to develop there in the near term. Eastern portions of WW 500 will likely not see much activity in the short term. With a modest increase in the low-level jet expected this evening, the outflow boundary will need to be monitored for convective development. Forecast soundings suggest those potential storms would pose a similar threat of large hail and severe/damaging winds. ..Wendt.. 07/16/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
