Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
500 PM PDT Sun Aug 11 2019

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

Thunderstorm activity has become more concentrated near the center
of a small low pressure system located a few hundred miles south of
the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula. Satellite images
also indicate that the low is gradually becoming better defined. If
this recent development trend continues, then advisories could be
initiated on a tropical depression or a tropical storm later tonight
while the disturbance moves generally west-northwestward, away from
the coast of Mexico. Environmental conditions are expected to become
unfavorable for significant development by early Tuesday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...60 percent.

An area of disturbed weather located about 1000 miles southwest of
the Baja California peninsula remains disorganized. Environmental
conditions are expected to become gradually more conducive for
tropical cyclone formation by the middle of the week while the
system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15 mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

Valid 112305Z - 120100Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 572 continues. SUMMARY...Severe storms are forecast to continue spreading into Tornado Watch 572, yielding an increase in severe risk across the watch area. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms continue to increase in coverage just west of WW 572, and should continue to spread into western portions of the watch. One large/complex storm continues to evolve over northern Yuma County, as multiple cells continue to develop along a surface boundary, and become ingested into the main rotating updraft.

Valid 112251Z - 120045Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 570 continues. SUMMARY...Strong/locally severe thunderstorms continue across WW 570. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows widespread thunderstorms -- including a few well-organized, rotating updrafts -- occurring over the central high Plains region. The storms are evolving near multiple/complex boundary interactions across the area. With low-level east-southeast flow advecting moist low-level air (60s dewpoints) into the high Plains fueling the convection, expect storms to continue for several hours. A couple of brief tornadoes have been reported over the past couple of hours, and large hail is also indicated with a couple of the most intense updrafts. These risks -- along with potential for locally damaging wind gusts -- are ongoing. With time, storms should grow upscale, and spread eastward into/across southwestern Nebraska and northwestern Kansas -- where Tornado Watch 572 is currently in effect. ..Goss/Hart.. 08/11/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1704 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHWESTERN NORTH DAKOTA
Mesoscale Discussion 1704 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0519 PM CDT Sun Aug 11 2019 Areas affected...southwestern North Dakota Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 112219Z - 120015Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Damaging wind gusts or an isolated tornado cannot be completely ruled out with convection across the discussion area. A WW issuance is not anticipated, though convective trends continue to be monitored. DISCUSSION...A cluster of strong to isolated severe storms continues across southwestern North Dakota currently. These storms are in a moderately unstable environment (1000-2000 J/kg MUCAPE) with sufficient deep shear (35-40 kts) for updraft organization, and even though low-level wind fields are relatively weak, easterly surface winds veering to westerly with height are supporting weak updraft rotation in the strongest cores. This is apparent with recently severe-warned convection over Adams County, and with time other storms may occasionally rotate given the shear profiles. Modest increases in low-level flow after about 00-01Z or so will also enhance shear profiles and further support rotation, though storms will also encounter gradually stabilizing boundary layer thermodynamic profiles in tandem with the strengthening shear. The scenario may only support an isolated severe threat in a localized, temporally brief nature that will not necessitate any WW issuance, although convective trends will be monitored for any increase in the threat beyond current expectations. ..Cook/Hart.. 08/11/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Special Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
300 PM PDT Sun Aug 11 2019

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

Special tropical weather outlook issued to update the discussion of
the low-pressure system south of the southern tip of the Baja
California peninsula.

Thunderstorm activity associated with a low pressure system located
a few hundred miles south of the southern tip of the Baja California
peninsula have become a little better organized during the past
several hours. In addition, recent satellite-derived surface wind
data indicate that the low has become better defined, with winds
just below tropical-storm strength occurring near and to the east
of the center. If this recent development trend continues, then
advisories could be initiated on a tropical depression or a tropical
storm later this evening while the disturbance moves westward to
west-northwestward, away from the coast of Mexico. Environmental
conditions are expected to become unfavorable for significant
development on Tuesday.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...50 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...medium...50 percent.

A disturbance located a little less than 1000 miles southwest of the
Baja California peninsula is producing a large area of disorganized
showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions are expected to
become more conducive for tropical cyclone formation by the middle
of the week while the system moves west-northwestward at 10 to 15
mph.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...near 0 percent.

Mesoscale Discussion 1703 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0455 PM CDT Sun Aug 11 2019 Areas affected...north-central and northeastern Montana Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 112155Z - 112300Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Storms over central Montana will migrate northeastward into the discussion area after around 23Z or so. These storms may necessitate a WW issuance. DISCUSSION...An expanding cluster of mixed-mode (linear and cellular) storms continues to migrate northeastward across portions of central Montana (within WW 569). These storms are in a moderately unstable environment and have exhibited some upscale growth over time. Low-level easterlies veer to west-northwesterly and strengthen with height, allowing for some storm organization in this environment even though weak low-level shear is contributing largely to outflow-dominant convection. Though instability profiles are slightly less buoyant with northern extent, the expectation is that as storms continue to grow upscale and move northeastward into the discussion area, they will pose a risk of large hail and damaging wind gusts - especially if growth into a linear complex occurs as expected/depicted in latest CAMs. An isolated tornado cannot be completely ruled out either given the vertical shear profiles in place. Given these convective trends, a WW issuance is being considered around/after 23Z. ..Cook/Hart.. 08/11/2019 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...BIS...BYZ...GGW...TFX...
