SPC 2000Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0258 PM CDT Mon Jul 07 2025 Valid 072000Z - 081200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST COLORADO INTO NEBRASKA AND SOUTH DAKOTA... ...SUMMARY... Scattered severe storms are likely across the central into northern Plains. Severe wind gusts and large hail are the main threats. Isolated damaging winds are also possible across parts of the Lower Great Lakes, Ohio/Tennessee River Valleys, and the Northeast. ...20z Update Northern Plains... The prior forecast remains largely on track this afternoon with only minor adjustments. The northern portions of the Level 3 ENH area were trimmed for trends with ongoing convection. Surging outflow has cooled surface temperatures into the low 70s across northeastern SD and west-central MN. As the outflow continues to move south, this should focus storm development and severe potential along the boundary. Supercells and organized clusters are still expected across parts of eastern SD into northern NE this afternoon/evening. Hail and damaging gusts are likely, along with an isolated tornado or two. Upscale growth into an organized cluster/MCS is likely this evening. Damaging wind gusts will be the primary risk later this evening and into the overnight hours. While confidence in the eastern extent of the severe risk is low, recent CAM guidance suggests some damaging wind threat may extended farther east into portions of central IA. Have adjusted the level 1 MRGL for this potential. ...Central High Plains... Storm initiation is underway within a broad upslope flow regime across western SD and eastern WY/CO. Scattered storms, including a few supercells appear likely. Moderate buoyancy/steep mid-level lapse rates and 30-40 kt of deep-layer shear will favor a risk for damaging wind gusts and hail. Consolidation into one or more clusters is likely tonight, with a continued threat for damaging winds. See MCD#1592 for additional short-term info. ...OH Valley/Northeast... Scattered to numerous thunderstorms are ongoing from the central US to the OH Valley and into the Northeast. Amid weak vertical shear pulse multi-cell storms with occasional damaging gusts will remain likely into this evening. The severe risk will be largely diurnal with a decreasing risk after dark. Have adjusted the severe risk for current frontal/storm position slightly farther east. ..Lyons.. 07/07/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1124 AM CDT Mon Jul 07 2025/ ...SD/NE/KS/CO... A complex evolution of convection is expected this afternoon and evening across the central Plains. One line/cluster of thunderstorms is expected to develop from the showers across SD. Continued daytime heating will eventually lead to intensification and organization of storms building southeastward into NE and western IA. These storms will pose a risk of large hail and damaging winds. Farther southwest, storms are expected to develop and spread eastward across southeast WY and northeast CO (similar to yesterday) and eventually track into western NE/KS. These storms will also pose risk of damaging winds and hail through the early evening. It appears likely that these two convective regimes will congeal during the evening, with more of a southward push into KS and eventually northern OK late tonight, although the severe risk by that time is uncertain. ...OH to ME... A warm/humid air mass is present today from OH northeastward across parts of NY/PA and northern New England. Widely scattered afternoon thunderstorms are expected along this entire corridor. Strong daytime heating will result in steep low-level lapse rates, with sufficient mid-level westerly flow to aid in gusty/damaging wind gusts. Read more

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0258 PM CDT Mon Jul 07 2025 Valid 081200Z - 091200Z ...Northwest and Great Basin... An approaching mid-level trough and associated increasing mid-level west winds will introduce elevated fire weather conditions into the Columbia Gorge/Basin and adjacent leeward slopes of the Cascades Tuesday. A mid-level low off the coast of northern CA will provide supportive dynamics for isolated thunderstorms across central OR. Limited precipitation with these thunderstorms will increase fire ignition potential amid receptive fuels primarily across the higher terrain of central and east-central OR. Elevated fire weather conditions atop dry fuels are still expected across much of central and eastern NV and far western UT where southwest winds of 10-20 mph and relative humidity in the 10-15% range will be collocated. ..Williams.. 07/07/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0200 AM CDT Mon Jul 07 2025/ ...Synopsis... A midlevel low will gradually approach the northern CA coast as it loosely phases with a stronger midlevel trough moving eastward across British Columbia on Tuesday. Large-scale ascent preceding the midlevel low will aid in isolated thunderstorm development along the higher terrain of central OR. Around 0.7 inch PW and a deeply mixed boundary layer will favor dry thunderstorms, with an associated risk of lightning-induced ignitions and strong/erratic outflow winds. At the same time, a belt of moderate-strong midlevel winds peripheral to the trough in British Columbia will cross the Cascades. This will promote dry/breezy downslope winds in the Columbia Basin, with the strongest winds expected through the Cascade Gaps. Given dry/receptive fuels, elevated fire-weather conditions are expected. Farther south, moderate deep-layer southwesterly flow ahead of the midlevel low will overspread a well-mixed boundary layer across parts of central/southern NV, where elevated to locally critical fire-weather conditions are expected. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Limited precipitation with these thunderstorms will increase fire ignition potential amid receptive fuels primarily across the higher terrain of central and east-central OR. Elevated fire weather conditions atop dry fuels are still expected across much of central and eastern NV and far western UT where southwest winds of 10-20 mph and relative humidity in the 10-15% range will be collocated. ..Williams.. 07/07/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0200 AM CDT Mon Jul 07 2025/ ...Synopsis... A midlevel low will gradually approach the northern CA coast as it loosely phases with a stronger midlevel trough moving eastward across British Columbia on Tuesday. Large-scale ascent preceding the midlevel low will aid in isolated thunderstorm development along the higher terrain of central OR. Around 0.7 inch PW and a deeply mixed boundary layer will favor dry thunderstorms, with an associated risk of lightning-induced ignitions and strong/erratic outflow winds. At the same time, a belt of moderate-strong midlevel winds peripheral to the trough in British Columbia will cross the Cascades. This will promote dry/breezy downslope winds in the Columbia Basin, with the strongest winds expected through the Cascade Gaps. Given dry/receptive fuels, elevated fire-weather conditions are expected. Farther south, moderate deep-layer southwesterly flow ahead of the midlevel low will overspread a well-mixed boundary layer across parts of central/southern NV, where elevated to locally critical fire-weather conditions are expected. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
