Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0757 AM CDT Fri Sep 06 2019 Valid 061300Z - 071200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER PARTS OF THE NORTHERN INTERMOUNTAIN REGION...NORTHERN/CENTRAL ROCKIES AND ADJACENT HIGH PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe thunderstorm winds and hail are possible this afternoon and evening over parts of the northern Intermountain region, northern/central Rockies and adjacent High Plains. ...Synopsis... In mid/upper levels, an initially strong anticyclone centered over the south-central Rockies will shift southwestward and weaken as a strong shortwave trough crosses the northern Rockies. That trough -- now evident in moisture-channel imagery over western OR and northern CA -- is progged to overtake/absorb lesser vorticity lobes initially to its east across eastern OR/ID. The combined, somewhat stronger perturbation will reach the MT/ID border region and southern ID by 00Z. Thereafter, the trough will pivot eastward and east-southeastward, reaching central MT, western WY and northwestern CO by 12Z. Meanwhile, farther east, shortwave troughs now over the upper Great Lakes and northern MB will move southeastward across the Mid-Atlantic and upper Great Lakes, respectively. In response, Hurricane Dorian has commenced accelerating northeastward over/off the Outer Banks, and should eject away from the Tidewater region through the remainder of the period, per NHC forecasts. With the most thermodynamically and kinematically favorable sector for supercellular tornadoes shifting offshore, and forecast to stay southeast of the Cape Cod/Martha's Vineyard region tonight, unconditional overland tornado probabilities have been dropped. Otherwise, the surface analysis showed a low near GRB with occluded front to southeastern IA, and slow-moving cold front to a weak frontal-wave/lee low over western KS, then extending across parts of southeastern CO. The low should move southeastward across OH overnight and become poorly defined in the broader field of low pressure surrounding Dorian. Meanwhile the front should cross the Ohio Valley and stall across the southern KS/northern OK/ southeastern CO corridor. ...Northern Rockies/Intermountain region to Front Range/central High Plains... Widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop this afternoon into evening in three primary regimes, described below from west to east, each offering isolated severe gusts/hail, with enough spatial overlap to result in a unified outlook area: 1. A "cold-core" regime near the midlevel/500-mb thermal trough, from eastern OR across much of southern ID, potentially forming a quasi-linear band of strong/isolated severe convection over ID before weakening tonight in western WY where regime 2 below will have produced enough convection to stabilize the air mass. Diurnal heating and midlevel cooling should overlap well, steepening low/ middle-level lapse rates considerably, atop 50s F low-elevation surface dew points. This should result in MLCAPE 1000-1500 J/kg atop a well-mixed boundary layer supporting strong/locally severe gusts and survival of hail to ground level. Organization should be tempered somewhat by weakening deep-layer flow with time and proximity to the mid/upper trough, and related lack of shear. However, a conditional cold-pool aggregation potential exists, especially across parts of the Snake River Plain and southern mountains west of I-15. 2. A band of relatively maximized deep-layer ascent shifting eastward from southeastern ID and northern UT across western/central WY. A combination of lift from large-scale DCVA/cooling aloft, frontal forcing near a low-level baroclinic zone preceding that trough, and pre-frontal warm advection will support convection in this area. Buoyancy should be less in both coverage and magnitude than in regime 1, with MLCAPE mainly around 500 J/kg. Still, localized well-mixed boundary layers and marginal deep shear will promote a few strong-severe cells in the broader convective plume. 3. Heating of higher terrain, favorable low-level moisture, and resultant weak MLCINH should foster convection initiation this afternoon over the Front Range, Laramie Range, adjacent foothills, and perhaps the Bighorns. Activity then should move eastward across a diabatically destabilized strip of the central High Plains, offering damaging gusts and isolated hail before weakening. Strong surface heating and deep, strongly mixed boundary layers will support isolated severe potential with this activity before it weakens this evening in a stabilizing boundary layer, at lower elevations. ..Edwards/Smith.. 09/06/2019 Read more

Hurricane Juliette Forecast Discussion Number 21

5 years 11 months ago
Issued at 1100 PM HST Thu Sep 05 2019 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 060925 CCA TCDEP1 Hurricane Juliette Discussion Number 21...Corrected NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP112019 1100 PM HST Thu Sep 05 2019 Corrected motion in third paragraph. This evening's satellite presentation is showing a considerable amount of deterioration of Juliette's inner core. The eastern portion of the eyewall has eroded, cloud tops have continue to warm, and it appears as though some drier mid-level air is intruding from the northwest. Subjective satellite intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB, and the UW-CIMSS Objective T-number supports lowering the initial intensity to 70 kt. Although the upper-level winds are expected to remain in a favorable pattern during the next couple days, the hurricane will be moving over decreasing sea surface temperatures and into increasingly stable thermodynamic conditions. Subsequently, gradual weakening should continue through the entire forecast period, and Juliette is expected to become a remnant low in 3 days, or less. The intensity forecast is basically a compromise of the NOAA HFIP HCCA and the global models beyond the 48-hour period. The initial motion continues to be northwestward, or 305/9 kt. A mid-level ridge extending from the southwestern United States over the eastern Pacific should induce a west-northwestward turn on Friday, and this general motion should continue through the next couple of days. Toward the end of the period, a westward motion should commence as Juliette degenerates into a vertically shallow depression, and eventually, a remnant low, and becomes steered by the low-level tradewind flow. The track forecast is an update of the previous advisory and sides with the TVCE model consensus.

Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0358 AM CDT Fri Sep 06 2019 Valid 091200Z - 141200Z ...DISCUSSION... ...Monday/Day 4 to Wednesday/Day 6... The medium-range models are in good agreement on Monday with a shortwave trough and an associated cold front over the northern Plains. The models suggest that thunderstorm development will be possible ahead of the front in parts of Nebraska and the eastern Dakotas on Monday afternoon. Forecast instability and deep-layer shear may be enough for an isolated severe threat. On Tuesday, the models develop an upper-level trough in the western U.S. as a shortwave ridge moves into the northern Plains. Thunderstorms will be possible on Tuesday along a front that is forecast to be from northern parts of the central Plains eastward into the southern Great Lakes region. The models remain in reasonable agreement on Wednesday with an upper-level trough over the western states and southwest mid-level flow in the Great Plains. Thunderstorms will again be possible across parts of the central and northern Plains where the ECMWF, GFS and UKMET show a surface low and a moist airmass. An isolated severe threat will be possible in parts of Nebraska and South Dakota in areas that destabilize the most. ...Thursday/Day 7 to Friday/Day 8... On Thursday and Friday, model solutions are somewhat in agreement concerning an upper-level trough that is forecast to move across the north-central U.S. Both the GFS and ECMWF show a moist and unstable airmass located across the mid Missouri and upper Mississippi Valleys Thursday afternoon. A severe threat will be possible ahead of the upper-level trough in parts of the eastern Dakotas and Minnesota. The potential for severe thunderstorms is forecast to shift into the Great Lakes on Friday as a cold front moves southeastward across the central U.S. Although a conditional severe threat will be possible throughout the day 4 to 8 period across parts of the central and northern U.S, predictability is too low to outlook a threat area at this time.

Marginally severe thunderstorms with strong wind gusts and hail will be possible across parts of the central High Plains Sunday afternoon and evening. ...Central High Plains... An upper-level trough is forecast to move into the central and northern Rockies on Sunday as a shortwave ridge moves across the central and northern Plains. A lee surface trough is forecast to develop in the central High Plains to the east of the Front Range. Surface dewpoints may be able to reach the lower 60s F in parts of eastern Colorado due to upslope easterly flow. This may allow for a pocket of moderate instability to develop by afternoon. Thunderstorms are forecast to develop in the higher terrain and move eastward into the central High Plains during the afternoon. The instability combined with steep mid-level lapse rates and moderate deep-layer shear should be enough for a marginal severe threat. A few of the stronger cells could produce hail and marginally severe wind gusts. ..Broyles.. 09/06/2019 Read more

A lee surface trough is forecast to develop in the central High Plains to the east of the Front Range. Surface dewpoints may be able to reach the lower 60s F in parts of eastern Colorado due to upslope easterly flow. This may allow for a pocket of moderate instability to develop by afternoon. Thunderstorms are forecast to develop in the higher terrain and move eastward into the central High Plains during the afternoon. The instability combined with steep mid-level lapse rates and moderate deep-layer shear should be enough for a marginal severe threat. A few of the stronger cells could produce hail and marginally severe wind gusts. ..Broyles.. 09/06/2019 Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0202 AM CDT Fri Sep 06 2019 Valid 071200Z - 081200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... A negatively tilted mid-level shortwave trough will deepen across the far western CONUS throughout the Day 2/Saturday period. A surface trough will become established across the Great Basin region. As such, locally dry, breezy conditions may be observed across far western portions of the Great Basin, mainly along the lee of the Sierra. These conditions are expected to brief and patchy enough to preclude an elevated delineation. Ahead of the surface and mid-level trough axes, deep-layer ascent may encourage isolated to scattered thunderstorms across parts of northern Nevada. Nonetheless, recent accumulated rainfall from previous thunderstorm events raises concerns as to how receptive fuels will be in this area to fire spread, especially given that the forecast Day 2 storms will be predominantly wet in nature, precluding an isolated dry thunderstorm delineation at this time. Otherwise, relatively quiescent fire weather conditions are expected across the western CONUS. ..Squitieri.. 09/06/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more
