MD 1722 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN TN...SOUTHWESTERN/SOUTHERN VA...AND WESTERN/CENTRAL NC
Mesoscale Discussion 1722 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1052 AM CDT Tue Aug 13 2019 Areas affected...Portions of eastern TN...southwestern/southern VA...and western/central NC Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 131552Z - 131745Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...A threat for strong/gusty winds capable of producing isolated damage should increase this afternoon. Watch issuance is possible. DISCUSSION...15Z surface analysis and visible satellite imagery shows an outflow boundary from earlier convection has moved southward into middle/eastern TN and southwestern VA. Storms have recently begun to increase in coverage along this boundary as daytime heating warms the boundary layer. A high precipitable water airmass is in place along/south of this boundary across much of eastern TN into southwestern/south-central VA and western/central NC. As surface air temperatures warm into the 80s and 90s this afternoon, low-level lapse rates will likewise steepen and instability will increase. A belt of modestly enhanced mid-level flow (around 30-40 kt at 500 mb) will overlie this region through peak diurnal heating, with area VWPs showing the strongest winds over southern VA gradually weakening into TN/NC. Strong/gusty winds may occur as this enhanced flow aloft reaches the surface through convective downdraft processes. Isolated damage from these winds will be possible given the potential for some multicell clustering as storms spread eastward through the early evening. Watch issuance may be needed within the next couple of hours (by 18Z/Noon EDT). ..Gleason/Grams.. 08/13/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1129 AM CDT Tue Aug 13 2019 Valid 131630Z - 141200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EASTERN CO AND WESTERN KS... ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS SOUTHERN VA TO NORTHERN SC WEST ACROSS THE TN VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... Significant severe hail and wind gusts are possible across the central High Plains during the late afternoon to mid evening. Scattered damaging winds are possible from the Tennessee Valley to the Carolinas and southern Virginia through early evening. ...Central High Plains... Weak warm-advection driven convection is ongoing across northwest/north-central NE. To its south, ample low-level moisture is prevalent. The difference between the NAM/RAP in the degree of boundary-layer mixing within the warm/moist sector is unusual in that the NAM is actually quite a bit more mixed at peak heating than the RAP (typically its the reverse). Surface dew points will probably mix to 60-65 F, contributing to a confined corridor of MLCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg across the CO/KS/NE border area beneath rather steep mid-level lapse rates. Surface-based storm development is expected around 21Z near this tri-state region as convergence strengthens at the intersection of the lee trough and the southward-sagging cold front. Initial storms will likely be discrete supercells capable of producing isolated very large hail and perhaps a tornado or two. Convection should grow upscale into a southward propagating cluster into a weak nocturnal low-level jet across far eastern CO/western KS, with a continuing threat for severe wind gusts into early tonight. ...TN Valley to the Carolinas/southern VA... A separated belt of enhanced 700-mb westerlies should remain centered on the KY to VA area through early evening. Areas of decaying stratiform rain remnants of early morning MCSs are generally located within this belt of stronger flow, largely south of 12Z HREF members. Convection is ongoing an arc across eastern TN into far southwest VA along the remnant outflow. Ample heating is occurring downstream across the Carolinas and it is possible that this convection intensifies (see MCD 1722). With flow weakening with southern extent, the degree of organization becomes increasingly uncertain, but at least a few multicell clusters should develop with a risk for scattered damaging winds across southern Virginia and parts of the Carolinas. Additional clusters should also form west across the TN Valley along the remnant outflow towards late afternoon as large buoyancy develops amid upper 70s surface dew points. Somewhat weaker effective shear from 15-25 kt should foster multicell clusters with a risk for isolated to scattered damaging winds. ...Upper MS Valley... A shortwave trough along the Red River Valley should dampen as it tracks into WI tonight. Ascent preceding this trough will coincide with a pocket of stronger surface heating and low-level convergence along a weak northwest-southeast oriented front, which will support scattered thunderstorm development towards late afternoon. A confined corridor of MLCAPE from 1000-1500 J/kg may potentially coincide with effective bulk shear near 40 kt. However, modest mid-level lapse rates should temper overall storm intensity despite the expectation of a few transient supercells. Isolated damaging winds and severe hail will likely be the main threats. A brief tornado may also occur with storms moving southeast along the boundary, where low-level shear and vertical vorticity will be larger. ..Grams/Mosier.. 08/13/2019 Read more

The post-tropical cyclone is moving through an environment of dry, stable air and over cooler SSTs, which should cause the low to dissipate in a day or so. The motion is west-northwestward, or 285/10 kt. A low-level ridge to the north of the system should steer Henriette's remnants on a west-northwestward to westward heading until dissipation. The official track forecast is close to the multi-model consensus, TVCE. This is the last NHC advisory on Henriette.

MD 1721 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN/CENTRAL NE
Mesoscale Discussion 1721 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0856 AM CDT Tue Aug 13 2019 Areas affected...Portions of western/central NE Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 131356Z - 131530Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...An isolated large hail risk may continue this morning with ongoing thunderstorms. Watch issuance is unlikely in the short term. DISCUSSION...A pair of elevated supercells has evolved this morning in southern Cherry County NE within a warm air advection regime maximized around 700 mb. Short-term guidance, including the latest run of the RAP, suggests that 25-35 kt of southwesterly flow centered around 700 mb may persist through the rest of the morning. These winds, along with 35-40 kt of effective bulk shear, could maintain storm intensities as they develop southeastward along an instability gradient present across western/central NE. Isolated large hail will remain the primary threat for the next couple of hours given a stable near-surface layer noted on the 12Z sounding from LBF. Regardless, this hail threat will likely remain too isolated to justify watch issuance in the short term (through the rest of the morning). But, the severe threat will likely increase later today across parts of southern/western NE as the atmosphere destabilizes and surface-based storms develop. ..Gleason/Grams.. 08/13/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0759 AM CDT Tue Aug 13 2019 Valid 131300Z - 141200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS VA...AND THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS... ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING WESTWARD FROM THE MID-ATLANTIC ACROSS TN... ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe thunderstorms with damaging winds are expected across the southern Middle Atlantic into the Tennessee Valley. Severe thunderstorms with very large hail and damaging winds should also develop across the central High Plains. ...Synopsis... The primary larger-scale features today are northern stream troughs moving east-southeastward over Quebec and ND/MN, though a separate/weaker belt of westerlies is located farther south from the central Plains across the OH Valley to the Mid-Atlantic. Within this southern flow belt, diffuse MCVs are progressing east-southeastward over MO/IL and OH/WV, with ongoing convection in multiple clusters through this corridor. The stronger storms along the lower OH River are producing a cold pool and will likely persist until at least late morning, with the southward extent of the outflow likely demarcating the zone of afternoon redevelopment of storms this afternoon across TN. A few damaging gusts will be the main threats with multicell clusters/line segments in an environment of rich low-level moisture and moderate buoyancy along the southern edge of the 25-35 kt midlevel flow. The ongoing convection from southern OH to WV has shown signs of weakening slowly this morning. Still, residual clouds and some rain will slow surface heating from roughly 15-19z across central/northern VA, with the more probable zone of stronger destabilization along the southern fringe of the morning clouds/rain in the vicinity of southern VA. Upstream VWPs reveal 40 kt midlevel flow as low as 4 km above ground level over southern OH/eastern KY/WV, and this somewhat stronger flow will translate over VA this afternoon with the remnant MCV. Will maintain the 30% wind/Enhanced risk area in this update, though the influence of clouds on destabilization through early afternoon will likely modulate additional storm development this afternoon, and potentially reduce the severe threat. ...Central High Plains this afternoon through early tonight... A low-level upslope flow regime will establish today across eastern CO, prior to a weak reinforcing frontal surge overnight. South of an ongoing band of elevated storms driven by midlevel warm advection/frontogenesis, the low levels will warm and MLCAPE is expected to increase to 2000-3000 J/kg by mid-late afternoon. Deep-layer vertical shear will be favorable for supercells from northeast CO/northwest KS northward. Surface-based storm development is expected 21-00z across northeast CO along a surface trough on the northeast edge of the steeper low-level lapse rates and deeper mixing. The initial storms will likely be discrete supercells capable of producing isolated very large hail and perhaps a tornado or two. Convection may grow into a larger cluster this evening and propagate southward into a weak nocturnal low-level jet across far eastern CO/western KS, with a continuing threat for damaging winds into early tonight. ...Upper MS Valley area this afternoon... A midlevel shortwave trough over eastern ND this morning will move southeastward over MN/western WI by this evening. Ascent preceding the midlevel trough will coincide with daytime heating and low-level convergence along a weak northwest-southeast oriented front, which will support thunderstorm development this afternoon. Boundary-layer dewpoints in the 60s and afternoon surface temperatures approaching 80 F will drive MLCAPE of 1000-1500 J/kg, in an environment with effective bulk shear near 40 kt. The net result will be the potential for a few organized/supercell storms capable of producing isolated damaging winds/large hail. An isolated tornado may also occur with storms moving southeastward along the boundary, where low-level shear and vertical vorticity will be larger. ..Thompson/Kerr.. 08/13/2019 Read more

SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0759 AM CDT Tue Aug 13 2019 Valid 131300Z - 141200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS VA...AND THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS... ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS EXTENDING WESTWARD FROM THE MID-ATLANTIC ACROSS TN... ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe thunderstorms with damaging winds are expected across the southern Middle Atlantic into the Tennessee Valley. Severe thunderstorms with very large hail and damaging winds should also develop across the central High Plains. ...Synopsis... The primary larger-scale features today are northern stream troughs moving east-southeastward over Quebec and ND/MN, though a separate/weaker belt of westerlies is located farther south from the central Plains across the OH Valley to the Mid-Atlantic. Within this southern flow belt, diffuse MCVs are progressing east-southeastward over MO/IL and OH/WV, with ongoing convection in multiple clusters through this corridor. The stronger storms along the lower OH River are producing a cold pool and will likely persist until at least late morning, with the southward extent of the outflow likely demarcating the zone of afternoon redevelopment of storms this afternoon across TN. A few damaging gusts will be the main threats with multicell clusters/line segments in an environment of rich low-level moisture and moderate buoyancy along the southern edge of the 25-35 kt midlevel flow. The ongoing convection from southern OH to WV has shown signs of weakening slowly this morning. Still, residual clouds and some rain will slow surface heating from roughly 15-19z across central/northern VA, with the more probable zone of stronger destabilization along the southern fringe of the morning clouds/rain in the vicinity of southern VA.
