MD 1516 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 479... FOR CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
Mesoscale Discussion 1516 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0609 PM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 Areas affected...Central High Plains Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 479... Valid 292309Z - 300115Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 479 continues. SUMMARY...Scattered strong-severe thunderstorms will continue this evening. Hail and wind remain the primary threats. DISCUSSION...Mid-level flow has increased a bit within the base of the northern Plains upper trough. Latest data suggests 6km flow is around 30-35kt across northern portions of ww479, but noticeably weaker into northern CO. Over the next several hours, this flow should gradually veer into the northwest, and ongoing convection is expected to more readily advance downstream across the central High Plains, well north of a front that is draped across northwestern KS into northeast CO. While any semblance of a LLJ will remain confined to western KS, this activity appears to be aided in part by the upper trough. Latest radar data exhibits at least 4-5 longer-lived updrafts from southwestern SD into extreme northern CO. Most of these are generating severe hail. With time this activity should advance downstream into north central NE where a new severe thunderstorm watch may be warranted later this evening. ..Darrow.. 06/29/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1515 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 477... FOR SOUTHERN WISCONSIN
Mesoscale Discussion 1515 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0544 PM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 Areas affected...Southern Wisconsin Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 477... Valid 292244Z - 300015Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 477 continues. SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development will remain possible along and south of an aggregate outflow boundary, but the threat for wind damage will become more marginal with time. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms are ongoing along an aggregate outflow boundary that is moving slowly southward into southern WI. Vertical shear is quite weak and little storm organization/persistence is expected, but the stronger storms could still produce isolated wind damage given precipitation loading and steep low-level lapse rates along and south of the outflow. The limited severe threat appears to be covered by the current watch configuration, and no additional watches/extensions appear needed this evening. ..Thompson.. 06/29/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1514 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 478... FOR SOUTHWEST MISSOURI...SOUTHEAST KANSAS...NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
Mesoscale Discussion 1514 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0528 PM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 Areas affected...Southwest Missouri...southeast Kansas...northwest Arkansas and northeast Oklahoma Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 478... Valid 292228Z - 300000Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 478 continues. SUMMARY...A thunderstorm cluster and associated cold pool will spread southward toward northwest Arkansas, and additional storm development is possible along the trailing outflow boundary into southeast Kansas. DISCUSSION...A thunderstorm cluster produced an outflow gust of 55 kt at Springfield MO in the past 30 minutes, and local radar radar suggest a continuation of the severe-wind threat to the southeast of Springfield. The storms will likely be strongest near and just northeast of the merger of two cold pools across Christian/Taney County, and the larger-scale cold pool will continue southward into northwest AR by 2230-23z. Strong buoyancy is present south of the ongoing storms where vertical shear is weak, so the cluster will tend toward more outflow dominance over time. In the interim, a few severe gusts will be possible and could spread a little south of the watch into AR, though the need for a downstream watch is uncertain. Farther west, some convection is attempting to deepen along the northwest edge of the cold pool, coincident with a small/remnant MCV from near and just north of Wichita KS. Surface temperatures in the low 90s with dewpoints near or above 70 F are supporting MLCAPE in excess of 3000 J/kg with minimal convective inhibition. Isolated severe storm development may occur in the next 1-2 hours as the MCV interacts with the outflow boundary, in an environment with marginally sufficient vertical shear for semi-organized clusters and/or some marginal supercell structure. The watch may need to be extended in area by a tier of counties to the west if the KS convection shows signs of intensification. ..Thompson.. 06/29/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0459 PM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 Valid 011200Z - 071200Z ...Days 3-4/Tuesday-Wednesday... An increasing fire weather threat is expected across portions of the western U.S. as a mid-level low moves into California. Mid-level moisture and instability north of the low will support isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms across the northern California into southern Oregon, primarily along and east of the Cascades. A mix of wet/dry thunderstorms will support new ignitions where over available dry fuels. 40-50 knot southerly mid-level flow over a dry/well-mixed boundary layer will support stronger south winds across southern Nevada Day 3/Tuesday. An upper-level short wave and increasing surface pressure gradients will bring enhanced west winds into the Columbia Basin Day 4/Wednesday. The upper-level trough, initial influx of deeper monsoon moisture into the Intermountain West and daytime instability will support isolated dry thunderstorms across the central Utah Mountains Day 3/Tuesday, with expanding thunderstorm coverage heading into Day 4/Wednesday to include western Wyoming/far southeastern Idaho as well as east-central Nevada. ...Days 5-8/Thursday-Sunday... Another mid-level short wave and associated stronger mid-level flow entering the western U.S. late in the week will increase fire weather concerns across the Great Basin on Day 6/Friday. Long term ensemble guidance does indicate at least a weak upper-level troughing pattern across the western U.S. but uncertainty remains in specific fire weather impacts in the long term. ..Williams.. 06/29/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
