Hurricane Flossie Forecast Discussion Number 9

2 months 1 week ago
Issued at 300 AM CST Tue Jul 01 2025 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 010847 TCDEP1 Hurricane Flossie Discussion Number 9 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP062025 300 AM CST Tue Jul 01 2025 Flossie continues to strengthen early this morning, evident by an expanding central dense overcast (CDO) over the low-level center of the cyclone. A couple recent scatterometer passes at 0337z and 0428z helped in locating the center underneath the CDO, and assisted with the refinement of the 34 and 50 knot wind radii. The latest subjective Dvorak intensity estimates came in at T4.0/65 knots from both SAB and TAFB. The objective intensity estimates ranged from 69 to 79 knots at 06z. Based on a blend of these estimates, and taking into account the improved satellite presentation during the past few hours, the initial intensity has been raised to 75 knots for this advisory. Flossie is heading toward the west-northwest or 300/09 knots. This motion is expected to continue during the next several days with a slight decrease in forward speed, as the cyclone is steered into a weakness in the mid-level ridge to the northwest of the system. The track forecast is very close to the previous advisory and is closely aligned with a blend of the latest HCCA, TVCE, and FSSE consensus aids as well as the latest EC-AIFS run. The environment will remain very conducive for strengthening during the next 24 to 36 hours, with warm sea surface temperatures of 28/29C, abundant mid-level moisture, and light vertical wind shear. The latest SHIPS RI probabilities show a greater than 40 percent chance of a 25-knot increase in 24 hours, and the official forecast reflects this. Rapid weakening will then begin by 48 hours as Flossie moves over progressively cooler water and begins to entrain dry mid-level air. The system is forecast to become a post-tropical low by 72 hours and a remnant low at 96 hours. The intensity forecast is on the high end of the intensity aids, closest to SHIPS and NNIC. KEY MESSAGES: 1. The outer bands of Hurricane Flossie should bring locally heavy rainfall to coastal portions of the Mexican states of Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima, and Jalisco through Wednesday. Life-threatening flooding and mudslides are possible, particularly in steep terrain. 2. Tropical storm conditions are expected in portions of the tropical storm warning area in southwestern Mexico, through today.

Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0228 AM CDT Tue Jul 01 2025 Valid 031200Z - 041200Z ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE NORTHEAST AND THE NORTHERN PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... Scattered storms capable of large hail and severe wind gusts are forecast across the Northeast on Thursday. Isolated severe wind gusts are also possible in the northern Plains. ...Synopsis... A mid-level ridge will shift east across the central CONUS with a strong and amplifying trough across the Northeast. To the west of the ridge axis, moderate southwesterly flow is forecast from the Northwest into the northern Rockies with multiple embedded shortwave troughs. At the surface, a cold front will move quickly east across the Northeast during the afternoon/evening on Thursday. In addition, a lee cyclone will develop across the western Dakotas. A warm front will extend east from this low pressure center and a dryline/surface trough extending to its south. ...Northeast... Moderate instability is forecast to develop on Thursday afternoon ahead of a cold front across the Northeast. Cooling mid-level temperatures, associated with the deepening mid-level trough, will steepen lapse rates through the day. In addition, a moderately strong mid-level jet streak will overspread the warm sector with 40 to 50 knots of mid-level flow. A more concentrated severe weather threat may occur beneath this mid-level jet streak if moderate instability can develop where shear would be maximized. ...Northern Plains... Moderate to strong instability is forecast to develop north of the surface low across the western Dakotas. Weak isentropic ascent and height falls in an uncapped environment may support some strong storms Thursday afternoon/evening across far eastern Montana into the western Dakotas. The primary limiting factor to a greater severe weather threat will be shear with only 20 to 25 knots forecast. However, this may be sufficient for a few multicell clusters capable of isolated severe wind gusts. ..Bentley.. 07/01/2025 Read more

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0120 AM CDT Tue Jul 01 2025 Valid 021200Z - 031200Z ...Synopsis... A mid-level trough slowly progressing across portions of central California will continue to provide southerly transport of monsoon moisture into portions of the Great Basin on Wednesday, while a shortwave trough located further north over British Columbia will provide support for dry/windy conditions across northern Oregon into southern Washington. ...Dry/Windy... Modest mid-level westerly/southwesterly flow, coupled with deep mixing of dry boundary layer profiles, will support at least Elevated fire-weather conditions across portions of northern Oregon into southern Washington. The strongest winds will be confined to portions of the Cascade gaps/Columbia Gorge, with ERCs across the region nearing or meeting the annual 90th percentiles. ...Dry Thunderstorms... A mix of wet and dry thunderstorms will be possible from east-central Nevada into western Utah, and portions of far southeast Idaho into far western Wyoming. Fuels across significant portions of the Great Basin exceed the 98th annual percentiles, and a combination of low to modest total precipitable water vapor content and 0 - 6 km mean wind speeds ranging from 15 - 25 MPH will result in low precipitation efficiency with thunderstorm updrafts.

This will support potential lightning ignitions, particularly with fast moving cells and on the edges of the most intense downdraft cores. ..Halbert.. 07/01/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0119 AM CDT Tue Jul 01 2025 Valid 011200Z - 021200Z ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL NEVADA... ...Synopsis... An amplified upper trough slowly progressing eastward across central California will be responsible for supporting mixed dry/wet thunderstorms across portions of northern California into southern Oregon, critical fire-weather conditions across portions of southern and central Nevada, and for pushing enough monsoonal moisture into portions of Arizona, Utah, and southeastern Idaho to support lightning over dry fuels. ...Central/Southern Nevada... Deep boundary layer mixing below strong meridional mid-level flow will result in dry and windy conditions that overlap with fuels receptive to wildfire spread (ERCs at or exceeding the 90th annual percentile). Relative humidity of 5-10% coupled with 25 MPH winds, possibly gusting to 30 MPH, are anticipated across portions of central and southern Nevada -- warranting the introduction of Critical highlights. ...Dry Thunderstorms... A mix of wet/dry thunderstorms are anticipated across portions of northern California into southern and eastern Oregon. Thunderstorms are expected to develop within deep inverted-v boundary-layer profiles with total precipitable water content between 0.5 - 0.75 in, and 0 - 6 km mean wind speeds of 15-20 MPH. With ERC percentiles climbing to the 70th-80th annual percentiles, lightning over dry fuels with little wetting precipitation will pose a fire-weather risk. Further east across portions of northern Arizona, western/central Utah, and far southeastern Idaho, a mix of wet and dry thunderstorms is expected. ERC fuel percentiles are more significant across this region, ranging from the 90th annual percentiles to exceeding the 98th annual percentiles across large portions of the region. With total precipitable water vapor content forecast between 0.5 and 0.8 inches resulting in lower precipitation efficiency, dry lightning ignitions will be possible. ..Halbert.. 07/01/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
