Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0245 PM CDT Mon Aug 28 2023 Valid 282000Z - 291200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHEAST... ...SUMMARY... Isolated storms capable of strong and gusty winds are possible across the Southeast this afternoon. ...20Z Update... ...Southeast... 18Z soundings sampled a moist, moderately buoyant, and weakly sheared environment across the region. This matches the overall expectation outlined in the previous outlook (appended below), with a predominantly disorganized multicellular storm mode anticipated. Isolated water-loaded downbursts remain possible, particularly from southern MS and across much of AL where the highest storm coverage is anticipated. ...Central/Southern High Plains... Convective initiation has already occurred across the high terrain, with southeastward motion still expected to take these storms into the High Plains. Mesoanalysis estimated effective bulk shear is already 20 to 25 kt across the region, with some additional increase anticipated throughout the afternoon. As such, some organization is possible, with an attendant threat for a strong gust or two. Overall coverage is still expected to remain too low for an outlook area. ..Mosier.. 08/28/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1126 AM CDT Mon Aug 28 2023/ ...Southeast this afternoon... A weak midlevel trough persists from the northern Gulf of Mexico to the southern Appalachians with multiple embedded vorticity maxima. Vertical shear is very weak across the Southeast, and thermodynamic profiles are less favorable for strong downdrafts compared to previous days. Thus, scattered pulse-type storms are expected this afternoon along a combination of a stalled synoptic front, weak differential heating zones and local sea breeze circulations. The wind-damage threat appears to be on the lower margins for an outlook area, but will maintain the 5% area for the possibility of isolated downbursts. ...Central/southern High Plains this afternoon/evening... Similar to yesterday, a few storm clusters will form this afternoon and move south-southeastward from southeast WY across eastern CO into eastern NM through this evening. Effective bulk shear of 25-30 kt will support semi-organized storms, a few of which could produce gusty outflow winds and small hail. However, the storms will be relatively low topped for late summer and the severe threat appears too marginal to add an outlook area. ...Tropical cyclone Idalia and FL... Tropical storm Idalia is expected to become a hurricane later today into tonight while moving northward toward the southeast Gulf of Mexico (please refer to latest NHC advisories for additional information). The stronger wind profiles and associated supercell threat will likely be delayed in FL until Tuesday during the day, so will not add any tornado probabilities in this update. Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook CORR 1 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0245 PM CDT Mon Aug 28 2023 Valid 291200Z - 301200Z CORRECTED FOR INCORRECT GRAPHIC An Elevated fire-weather area has been added for southwest Idaho and vicinity where winds of 25 to 30 mph and single digit relative humidity are expected. Much of the Great Basin fuels are too moist to support fire spread. However, across southwest Idaho, there was less recent rainfall and therefore, fuels may be at least somewhat susceptible to large fire, especially given the very windy and dry conditions anticipated. No changes were made elsewhere. See previous discussion below. ..Bentley.. 08/28/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0202 AM CDT Mon Aug 28 2023/ ...Synopsis... On Tuesday, a trough will bring an increase in shower and thunderstorm activity across the Pacific Northwest, along with pre-frontal breezy conditions across portions Montana. Across the Southern Plains pressure gradients will increase between the Southwest high and a tropical system impacting the Gulf of Mexico, leading to an increase in surface winds. ...North-Central Texas and Southern Oklahoma... Winds speeds will increase to around 10-15 mph Tuesday afternoon across portions of north-central Texas and southern Oklahoma amid afternoon relative humidity reductions to around 20-30 percent. Fuels within this region remain critically dry, as very little rain has fallen across this region in the last 7 days and prolonged drought has led to drought stress. Given that relative humidity looks to largely stay above Critical thresholds, an Elevated delineation should cover the larger threat well. ...North-Central Montana... Pre-frontal winds will increase to around 15-20 mph amid relative humidity reductions to around 20-25 percent across north-central Montana Tuesday afternoon. Fuels within this region have experienced some drying due to lack of recent rainfall. However, fuels largely remain at or below average precluding the need for Critical highlights and as such an Elevated delineation was most appropriate. ...Dry Thunderstorms... An increase in shower and thunderstorm chances is possible across the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday. Precipitable water values across eastern Washington, northern Idaho, and western Montana will range around 0.50-1.00" with potential for fast storm motions. This will likely result in a mix of wet and dry thunderstorm activity. Ensemble data from the HREF indicates the more appreciable rainfall may be more likely across northern Idaho/western Montana with amounts generally up to and less than 0.10" across eastern Washington across the Cascades and central Columbia Basin. This will need to be monitored for inclusion of isolated dry thunderstorms. For now, confidence remains low in exactly which areas will remain mostly dry. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1227 PM CDT Mon Aug 28 2023 Valid 291200Z - 301200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHWEST/WEST-CENTRAL FLORIDA PENINSULA... ...SUMMARY... The potential for a few tornadoes should gradually increase along/near parts of the Florida Gulf Coast and into north Florida through Tuesday night as Tropical Cyclone Idalia approaches. ...Florida into Southeast Georgia... Latest forecast for TC Idalia centers the system northwest of western Cuba early Tuesday morning, with northeastward/north-northeastward motion taking the storm to just off northwestern FL Peninsula by 12Z Wednesday morning. Strong low/mid-level flow associated with this system will gradually spread northward across the FL Peninsula throughout the day, with the strongest winds expected along the western coast after 00Z. Rain bands will likely begin moving across the peninsula during the early afternoon, with a generally northeastward storm motion anticipated. Lapse rates will be poor, but the moist airmass across the region will still support moderate buoyancy and the potential for a few strong updrafts. The most significant increases in low-level shear are not expected under after 00Z, so the severe-gust and tornado potential with these multicellular bands will be low, but not zero. After 00Z through the remainder of the period, strengthening low to mid-level flow will result in a gradually increasing tornado potential, particular along the west-central and northwest portions of the FL Peninsula. TC tornado climatology shows a notable preference for tornadoes between 200-300 km northeast of the center for northeastward progressing major hurricanes. This matches well with the most favorable environmental conditions for tornadogenesis in this case, which are along the northwest/west-central FL coast from 06Z-12Z. ...Interior Pacific Northwest into the Northern Rockies... A negatively tilted shortwave trough is forecast to progress across the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday. Moderate mid-level flow and moisture will spread eastward ahead of this wave across ID and into western MT. Resulting combination of a deeply mixed boundary layer, increasing mid-level moisture, and strengthening ascent is expected to result in afternoon/evening thunderstorm development. 20 to 30 kt of effective shear will help organize some updrafts, with high cloud bases and steep low-level lapse rates supporting the potential for strong outflow. An instance or two of hail is possible as well. ...Great Lakes/OH Valley... A cold front is forecast move southeastward across the Great Lakes and parts of the Midwest/OH Valley, in tandem with an eastward-moving upper trough. Dewpoints will likely be in the upper 50s and low 60s from IL into IN and MI ahead of this front, but mid-level temperatures will be relatively warm, limiting buoyancy and updraft strength/duration. Damaging gusts would be possible with any deep, sustained updrafts, but the overall probability of occurrence currently appears low. ...Appalachians... Scattered thunderstorms should develop across parts of the southern/central Appalachians Tuesday afternoon, as modest ascent associated with an upper trough moving Quebec and the Upper Great Lakes/OH Valley glances the region. Modest deep-layer vertical shear is anticipated amid the southwesterly mid-level flow stretching across the region, supporting potential updraft organization. Even so, poor lapse rates should limit instability and overall updraft strength. A generally multicellular, outflow-dominant storm mode is anticipated, and the potential for a damaging gust or two exists within any bowing segments. However, overall severe coverage is expected to remain too low to include severe probabilities. ..Mosier.. 08/28/2023 Read more

Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0454 PM CDT Sun Aug 27 2023 Valid 291200Z - 041200Z ...D3/Tue - D4/Wed - Southern Plains... Dry and breezy conditions will develop in the northerly flow between the high pressure in the High Plains and the tropical system in the Gulf of Mexico. Thunderstorms Saturday and Sunday likely provided wetting rains for some locations, but others will still have exceptionally dry fuels. ......D3/Tue - Montana... There will be some potential for critical fire weather conditions on Tuesday across portions of northern Montana. Pre-frontal winds are expected to be strongest across portions of north-central Montana where minimal precipitation fell last week. Therefore, 40 percent probabilities have been added for the increasing threat for elevated to critical fire weather conditions across north-central Montana on Tuesday. ...D3/Tue - D4/Wed - Northwest... A negatively tilted mid-level trough will move across the Pacific Northwest on Tuesday. This will bring numerous thunderstorms, particularly across Washington. PWAT values are expected to be around 1 inch with storms likely more wet. However, storm speeds will be in excess of 30 mph, which could increase the threat for dry thunderstorms somewhat. Nonetheless, no dry thunderstorm probabilities have been added due to the questions regarding storm wetness and only marginally dry fuels east of the Cascades where storms may be more dry. As this trough advances east, some breezy conditions are expected in the Columbia Basin. The significant moisture surge with this system may keep relative humidity higher and thus keep the fire weather threat somewhat more subdued than otherwise may be expected. At this time, no 40 percent probabilities have been added as relative humidity is forecast to stay 30%+ where fuel are critically dry. ..Bentley.. 08/27/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

MD 2057 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHERN MS AND LA INTO FAR EAST TX

DISCUSSION...Across portions of the lower MS Valley and central Gulf Coast, afternoon thunderstorms were observed developing along a frontal boundary/remnant outflow. Strong diurnal heating has eroded inhibition with 1500-2000 J/kg of MLCAPE supporting occasional stronger updrafts. Deep-layer vertical shear across much of the region is exceedingly weak at generally less than 10-15 kt. This will support multi-cellular, pulse convection as the primary storm mode. Weak surface flow is also not expected to support much cold pool propagation and storm conglomeration seems unlikely. Thus, the primary severe risk will be tied to individual pulse downdrafts as storms collapse. Greater than 1000 J/kg of DCAPE and steep low-level lapse rates from very warm temperatures may support stronger outflow winds with sporadic damaging gusts. With little in the way of storm organization or longevity expected, a WW appears very unlikely. ..Lyons/Thompson.. 08/27/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Issued at 1100 AM HST Sun Aug 27 2023 791 WTPZ45 KNHC 272042 TCDEP5 Tropical Storm Irwin Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP102023 1100 AM HST Sun Aug 27 2023 The cloud pattern has changed little in appearance this morning. The center of circulation remains displaced to the north of a shapeless deep convective mass, likely due to a combination of modest northeasterly shear and dry mid-tropospheric air intruding from the northwest. A scatterometer pass over the eastern half of the cyclone indicated southerly winds of 35-37 kt well removed from the center, and the initial intensity is held at 35 kt for this advisory. Irwin should be able to produce sufficient deep convection, particularly in the eastern semicircle, along with intermittent bursts near the center, thereby maintaining its tropical storm status in the short term. Subsequently, the relatively large circulation should take some time to spin down similar to what the global and regional guidance suggests. Decreasing SSTs and a dry, stable marine layer air mass is expected to cause the cyclone to weaken to a depression in a few days and degenerate into a remnant low toward the end of the forecast period. Using surface center fixes from visible and recent microwave imagery, along with the previously mentioned partial METOP-B/C scatterometer wind overpasses, gives an estimated initial motion of west-northwestward, or 295/9 kt. A subtropical high pressure anchored to the north of the cyclone should maintain a generally west-northwestward to westward heading through day 5. Along-track inconsistency in the models continues to complicate the forecast track solution. The best approach in this case, however, is to side with a compromise of the best-performing HCCA and TVCE consensus guidance, and is the basis of the official forecast.
