SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1138 AM CDT Fri Sep 20 2019 Valid 201700Z - 211200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR THE FOUR CORNERS REGION INTO PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN/EAST-CENTRAL UT AND WESTERN CO... ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PARTS OF EASTERN CO... The critical area across the Four Corners region has been expanded northward to include more of southeastern/east-central UT and western CO. A 50-60+ kt mid-level jet will remain over this region today, and strong/gusty surface winds of 20-25 mph will likely overlap RH values of 10-15% for at least a few hours this afternoon. A separate critical area has been introduced across parts of eastern CO. Sustained southwesterly winds of 15-25 mph and RH values of 10-15% should develop this afternoon to the west of a surface trough/dryline. Generally minor adjustments have been made to the surrounding elevated delineation across parts of the central Rockies and adjacent High Plains based on latest observations and short-term model guidance. See the previous discussion below for more information. ..Gleason.. 09/20/2019 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1259 AM CDT Fri Sep 20 2019/ ...Synopsis... A highly amplified upper-level trough positioned over the Great Basin will shift east through the Northern Rockies into portions of the central/northern Plains. Enhanced mid-level flow of 60-70 kt will be present within the base of the trough during this progression. At the surface, a broad region of dry and breezy southwesterly winds will develop during the afternoon beneath the mid-level jet. ...Four Corners Region and portions of the central Rockies and central High Plains... Sustained winds of 15-25 mph will develop during the afternoon while RH values fall into the 15-20% range over much of the region. Fuels remain receptive to large-fire spread, and thus, elevated to critical fire-weather conditions are possible. Refinements were made to the existing elevated area over portions of the central High Plans and central Rockies, based on the position of moist boundaries as depicted in the latest high-resolution guidance. A critical area was added near the Four Corners region, where it appears most likely that critical wind/RH thresholds will be exceeded for a few hours during the afternoon. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1115 AM CDT Fri Sep 20 2019 Valid 201630Z - 211200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER PORTIONS OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe storms capable of producing wind damage, isolated large hail and a couple tornadoes are possible today across the northern Plains, with more isolated severe storms possible in parts of the southern High Plains. ...Northern and Central Plains... Morning water vapor loop shows a large upper trough over the western US, with southwesterly midlevel flow strengthening across the Rockies and High Plains. Several weak impulses are noted from CO northeastward into the Dakotas, with clusters of showers and thunderstorms occurring at this time. The timing and effects of this ongoing convection will result in a rather complex forecast for this afternoon and evening. Activity currently over the western Dakotas is expected to intensify later today as air mass destabilizes and winds aloft strengthen. Occasionally severe storms are expected to affect parts of central and northeast ND into central SD through the mid-late afternoon, with damaging winds, hail, and a couple of tornadoes possible. Later this afternoon, forcing associated with the a stronger shortwave trough will help to initiate thunderstorms from southern MT into eastern WY. These storms will be in a favorable environment for supercells early in the convective life cycle, capable of large hail and a couple of tornadoes. These storms will likely congeal and grow upscale during the evening as they track across parts of NE/SD with a continued threat of damaging winds and hail. ...Southern Plains... A weak remnant outflow boundary extends from near LBB into southern OK. Thunderstorms are expected to develop in vicinity of this boundary this afternoon in a moist and very unstable air mass. Deep-layer shear will be marginal for convective organization. However, convergence along the boundary coupled with slightly enhanced low-level shear may be sufficient for a few supercell storms capable of hail, damaging winds, and perhaps a tornado. ..Hart/Dial.. 09/20/2019 Read more

Tropical Storm Mario Forecast Discussion Number 13

5 years 10 months ago
Issued at 900 AM MDT Fri Sep 20 2019 000 WTPZ44 KNHC 201455 TCDEP4 Tropical Storm Mario Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP142019 900 AM MDT Fri Sep 20 2019 Microwave imagery since the last advisory indicates that Mario has been able to maintain its low-level structure, but deep convection is mostly displaced to the southwest of the cyclone's surface center. This may be a sign that northeasterly shear has again increased across Mario, at least for the moment. The intensity estimate is still 55 kt based on Dvorak current intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB, but objective values are lower. Almost no change was made to the NHC intensity forecast. SHIPS diagnostics from the GFS and ECMWF indicate that substantial northeasterly shear will continue to affect Mario for the next couple of days, and by the time the shear relaxes early next week, the cyclone will have reached much cooler waters. Given that Mario is in better shape than it was a day ago, some slight strengthening is still shown in the short-term forecast, but only the GFS explicitly forecasts Mario to reach hurricane strength. Nearly all of the dynamical models forecast that Mario will lose its convection and become a remnant low by 96 h or sooner, and this is reflected in the NHC forecast. The track forecast is very low confidence, evidenced by the fact that the deterministic GFS and ECMWF are both outliers from their respective ensembles run at the same time. In fact, both models are outside of their associated guidance envelope and show Mario getting very near the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula in a couple of days. There is still considerable uncertainty as to how much Mario and Lorena will interact during the next 2 or 3 days. The NHC forecast continues to keep the two systems separate, showing both systems moving generally northwestward in tandem at 48 h and beyond. However, given the close proximity of the two cyclones, a merger can not be ruled out. The NHC forecast has been shifted to the right of the previous forecast, and lies near the middle of the GFS and ECMWF ensemble envelopes. Significant changes may still be required to the track forecast later today, and there is still a chance that Mario could directly affect portions of the Baja California peninsula.

Hurricane Lorena Forecast Discussion Number 13

5 years 10 months ago
Issued at 900 AM MDT Fri Sep 20 2019 000 WTPZ45 KNHC 201452 TCDEP5 Hurricane Lorena Discussion Number 13 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP152019 900 AM MDT Fri Sep 20 2019 Microwave data overnight showed that an eye feature was trying to form, and this feature became really distinct on the 1059 UTC SSMIS image. A hint of an eye is becoming apparent on visible images at this time. An average of subjective and objective T-numbers yields an initial intensity of 65 kt. Lorena is moving over very warm waters, and this could help the cyclone to strengthen some during the next 12 hours while the cyclone is near or over the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula. After that time, once the cyclone reaches the cooler waters just west of the peninsula, weakening should the begin. In addition, the chances of Lorena becoming absorbed by Tropical Storm Mario in about 48 hours have increased as indicated by some global models. Regardless of the possible interaction scenario, dissipation of Lorena will occur in less than 4 days. Lorena has been moving very slowly toward the west or 280 degrees at 2 kt. The cyclone is being steered by the flow around a subtropical ridge over Mexico, and the circulation of Tropical Storm Mario to the south. Lorena should turn a little more to the west-northwest around the ridge with some increase in forward speed. Most of the track guidance indicate that this turn should occur well to the west of the Baja California peninsula. The NHC forecast is a little bit to the right of the previous one, and is in between the multi-model consensus and the corrected consensus HCCA. Key Messages: 1. Lorena is expected to bring heavy rainfall to the far southern Baja California Sur today into Saturday, with flash flooding possible. 2. Lorena is forecast to bring hurricane-force winds to a portion of the southern Baja California peninsula today, where a Hurricane Warning is in effect. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion.

SUMMARY OF 900 AM MDT...1500 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...22.7N 109.0W ABOUT 60 MI...95 KM ESE OF CABO SAN LUCAS MEXICO MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...75 MPH...120 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 280 DEGREES AT 2 MPH...4 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...987 MB...29.15 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY: The government of Mexico has issued a Tropical Storm Warning from Puerto Cortes to Cabo San Lazaro. SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Hurricane Warning is in effect for... * Baja California peninsula from La Paz to Puerto Cortes A Hurricane Watch is in effect for... * East coast of the Baja California peninsula north of La Paz to San Evaristo A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * Puerto Cortes to Cabo San Lazaro A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * East coast of the Baja California peninsula north of San Evaristo to Loreto * West coast of the Baja California peninsula north of Cabo San Lazaro to Puerto San Andresito A Hurricane Warning means that hurricane conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area, in this case during the next few hours. Preparations to protect life and property should be rushed to completion. A Hurricane Watch means that hurricane conditions are possible within the watch area. A watch is typically issued 48 hours before the anticipated first occurrence of tropical-storm-force winds, conditions that make outside preparations difficult or dangerous. A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours. Interests elsewhere in Baja California Sur should monitor the progress of Lorena. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 900 AM MDT (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Lorena was located near latitude 22.7 North, longitude 109.0 West. Lorena is moving toward the west near 2 mph (4 km/h), and a turn toward the west-northwest with some increase in forward speed is expected on Saturday. On the forecast track, the center of Lorena will pass near or over the southern portion of the Baja California peninsula later today, and then gradually move away from the west coast of the peninsula tonight and Saturday. Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts. Some additional strengthening is possible today, but weakening is likely to begin by Saturday night, and then either degenerate into a remnant low, or become absorbed by Tropical Storm Mario in a couple of days. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 10 miles (20 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 987 mb (29.15 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Lorena can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDEP5 and WMO header WTPZ45 KNHC and on the web at www.hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDEP5.shtml. WIND: Hurricane conditions are expected within the hurricane warning area in the southern Baja California peninsula later today, with tropical storm conditions beginning by this morning. Hurricane and tropical storm conditions are possible within the hurricane watch area by Saturday. Tropical storm conditions are possible in the tropical storm watch area by Saturday night. RAINFALL: Lorena is expected to produce rainfall accumulations of 3 to 6 inches, with maximum amounts around 8 inches, across the far southern Baja California Sur. This rainfall may result in flash flooding. SURF: Swells generated by Lorena will affect portions of the southwestern coast of Mexico and the southern Baja California peninsula during the next few days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
