SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0346 PM CDT Tue Aug 15 2023 Valid 171200Z - 231200Z A weak upper low is expected to remain off the California coast perhaps into early next week. Model guidance continues to differ in terms of the evolution of the upper-level pattern late this week into the weekend. At some point, an upper trough in the Northwest is expected to phase with the weak upper low. High pressure at the surface will remain in the Plains through midweek. Thereafter, a cold front is forecast to push southward into parts of the southern Plains late this week. ...Northwest... Dry and windy conditions appear probable on Thursday and Friday from the east side of the Cascades into the Columbia Basin. Temperatures will be higher on Thursday than on Friday. This could lead to a small increase in RH on Friday. However, guidance still suggests both days will reach critically low values. Winds on Thursday will primarily be driven by the thermal pressure trough in the Basin. Mid-level winds will increase on Friday as the mid-level jet overspreads most of Washington. Critical fire weather potential will exist on both days, but the greater potential should exist on Friday given the greater expected coverage of 20-25 mph winds. Thunderstorms are expected to occur each day through the weekend in parts of Oregon. PWAT values will continue to increase and lead to wetting rainfall potential. There is some possibility that storms may be slightly drier on Friday in north-central/northeast Oregon with drier air working in from the south and strong mid-level winds moving in from the north. Coverage of dry thunderstorms should remain low, though lightning away from storm cores could still pose problems. ...Montana... With an upper-level trough approaching the Northwest, a surface low is expected to deepen in Alberta. There is some model disagreement as to the evolution of the surface low late this week, but enhanced downslope winds are expected on both Thursday and Friday in the lee of the northern Rockies. With temperatures expected to be higher on Thursday, greater confidence in critical fire weather exists. Cooler temperatures and the potential for a cold front to limit the duration of fire weather concerns leads to less confidence on Friday. ...Texas... Hot surface temperatures should return to the region by Thursday. The development of thermal pressure troughs may lead to some locally elevated conditions in the presence of extremely dry fuels. There may be some broader increase in surface winds on Friday as a large-scale surface trough develops into the southern Plains. Trends will need to be monitored, but wind speeds continue to look too weak for critical probabilities. In addition, isolated thunderstorms could develop in the surface trough with the extreme heat, but predictability is quite low. ..Wendt.. 08/15/2023 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Issued at 1100 AM HST Tue Aug 15 2023 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 152045 TCDEP2 Hurricane Fernanda Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP072023 1100 AM HST Tue Aug 15 2023 Fernanda seems to be resuming a weakening trend possibly due to moderate deep-layer shear and embedded dry air. Infrared satellite images indicate that the coverage of deep convection has decreased during the past few hours. Subjective Dvorak estimates from SAB and TAFB remain at 77 kt and 102 kt, respectively. CIMSS ADT and AiDT estimates are in the 90 kt to 99 kt range. Thus, the initial intensity is decreased to 90 kt for this advisory. The hurricane is now moving westward at 10 kt. The track forecast reasoning remains unchanged. A weak mid-level ridge to the northwest of Fernanda is expected to steer the cyclone generally westward over the next several days. The current NHC track forecast has been updated with minor adjustments. The official forecast track takes Fernanda over cooler waters, crossing the 26C isotherm in 18 to 24 hours. While the current moderate vertical wind shear is expected to diminish in about 12 hours, the hurricane will be encountering an increasingly dry and stable airmass. Therefore, Fernanda is forecast to quickly weaken over the next couple of days. Fernanda is now expected to become a post-tropical cyclone in 48 hours.

SPC 2000Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0236 PM CDT Tue Aug 15 2023 Valid 152000Z - 161200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO NEW JERSEY... ...SUMMARY... Damaging to severe thunderstorm gusts should be most common this through this evening from central North Carolina to southern New Jersey. ...20z Update... Only minor adjustments have been made to severe probabilities based on current location of the surface front and ongoing convection. Otherwise, the previous forecast remains on track. Reference ongoing severe thunderstorm watches 649 and 650, and forthcoming MCDs for short term severe storm info. ..Leitman.. 08/15/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1059 AM CDT Tue Aug 15 2023/ ...NC to Mid-Atlantic Region... Morning water vapor imagery shows a large upper low over northwest OH, with a band of 50-60 knot southwesterly mid/upper level winds extending from TN/KY into the Mid-Atlantic region and southern New England. The associated surface cold front runs along/just west of the spine of the Appalachians from PA into east TN. Mostly clear skies ahead of the front will combine with dewpoints in the low-mid 70s to yield a very unstable air mass by mid-afternoon, with forecast soundings showing MLCAPE values of 2000-3000 J/kg. This should result in intensifying clusters of storms from western NC into central VA/southeast PA tracking eastward through the afternoon and early evening. Strong westerly flow aloft, steep low-level lapse rates, and high moisture content will likely result in bowing structures and a few supercells capable of severe wind gusts. Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0146 PM CDT Tue Aug 15 2023 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z Only minor changes were made to the dry thunder area in northern California to account for current guidance. The forecast otherwise remains on track. ..Wendt.. 08/15/2023 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0152 AM CDT Tue Aug 15 2023/ ...Synopsis... Mid-level high pressure is forecast to build over the western US while a weak upper low moves off the West Coast. Across the central US, a mid-level trough is forecast to move out of southern Canada with an accompanying surface cold front sweeping southeastward across the northern Rockies. Dry downslope winds are likely to support locally elevated fire-weather concerns over parts of northern MT. Dry thunderstorms are also possible over parts of the Northwest. ...Northwest... Another round of showers and high-based thunderstorms are expected across parts of northern CA and southern OR D2/Wed, as the upper low moves off the West Coast. Monsoon moisture will continue to increase with PWATs exceeding 1 inch. With the low farther offshore, easterly flow aloft will slacken, resulting in gradually diminishing storm speeds. Widely scattered, initially dry, storms are expected, but precipitation efficiency should rise through the day as storms slow down and moisture values increase. While QPF is forecast to increase with time, very dry and receptive fuels, along with initially dry storms, will favor some risk for lightning ignitions. ...Northern Rockies... As the Alberta trough continues to move south into the US, a cold front/wind shift will move through the northern Rockies early D2/Wed. Gusty northwest winds will remain strong through the day with downslope gusts of 15-20 mph possible. While RH values will likely be higher from the cooler air mass behind the front, diurnal minimums below 35% are expected. A few hours of locally elevated fire-weather conditions are possible given dry fuels and breezy conditions across much of northern MT. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 AM PDT Tue Aug 15 2023

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

Active Systems:
The National Hurricane Center is issuing advisories on Hurricane
Fernanda, located several hundred miles west-southwest of the
southern tip of the Baja California peninsula.

Off the Coast of Southern and Southwestern Mexico (EP90):
A broad area of low pressure associated with a tropical wave is
producing widespread showers and thunderstorms off the southern
coast of Mexico. Environmental conditions appear conducive for
development, and a tropical depression is expected to form within
the next couple of days or so, while the system moves
west-northwestward, roughly parallel to the coast of southern and
southwestern Mexico. Additional information on this system,
including gale warnings, can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued
by the National Weather Service.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...high...80 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...high...90 percent.

South of Central America and Southern Mexico:
An area of low pressure could form south of the Gulf of Tehuantepec
over the weekend. Some gradual development of this system is
possible thereafter while it moves generally westward.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
