Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1130 AM CDT Sun Jun 29 2025 Valid 291630Z - 301200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS...AND PORTIONS OF IOWA/WISCONSIN.... ...SUMMARY... Isolated to scattered strong to severe thunderstorms are possible from the upper Great Lakes into the central High Plains. Wind is the primary risk, though hail is expected across portions of the High Plains. ...Eastern KS/Western MO... An overnight MCS is slowly weakening over central MO, with an associated outflow boundary extending from eastern KS into south-central MO. Strong heating will occur along and south of the boundary, where several 12z CAM solutions indicate development of afternoon thunderstorms. Given this scenario, have extended the SLGT risk farther south into this region. Locally damaging wind gusts would be the main concern. Refer to MCD #1506 for further short-term details. ...WY/CO/SD/NE... A low-amplitude shortwave trough is digging into WY. As forcing associated with this system overspreads the High Plains of WY, high-based convection is expected. Thunderstorms will intensify as they track into a moderately unstable air mass and weak but backed low-level flow. Severe storms capable of large hail and damaging winds may affect the Black Hills region and southward into the NE Panhandle. Storms will also develop southward into the foothills of CO this afternoon and spread eastward. Winds and temperatures aloft are less favorable for organized/severe storms that far south, but at least isolated instances of large hail and damaging winds are possible. ...IA/WI... Strong heating is occurring across much of WI today, where a moist air mass will lead to moderate CAPE values. Thunderstorms will develop by mid-afternoon along a remnant weak boundary across central WI/northeast IA and spread northeastward through the day. Vertical shear is not particularly strong, and overall convective organization is expected to be low. Nevertheless, steep low-level lapse rates and ample instability will promote strong downdrafts and some hail in the strongest cells. ..Hart/Marsh.. 06/29/2025 Read more

Tropical Storm Flossie Forecast Discussion Number 2

2 months 1 week ago
Issued at 900 AM CST Sun Jun 29 2025 000 WTPZ41 KNHC 291441 TCDEP1 Tropical Storm Flossie Discussion Number 2 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP062025 900 AM CST Sun Jun 29 2025 Convection has continued to become better organized this morning, with curved banding to the north of the low-level center. Recent infrared satellite imagery depicts that convection is bursting near the low-level center with cold cloud tops near -80C. The latest subjective Dvorak intensity estimates were T2.5, from both TAFB and SAB. Using these estimates and the recent satellite trends, the intensity is raised to 35 kt for this advisory. Thus, the sixth named system in the eastern Pacific, Tropical Storm Flossie. Flossie is located within a favorable environment for strengthening with warm SSTs near 30C, moist mid-levels and low to moderate wind shear. As the system continues to become better organized, the latest NHC forecast now depicts steady strengthening, with the storm becoming a hurricane in about 36 h. While not explicitly forecast, there are some above normal SHIPS rapid intensification (RI) probabilities and there is potential for RI, which will have to be monitored in subsequent forecasts. The NHC intensity forecast remains near the higher end of the guidance envelope near the latest HCCA corrected consensus aids. The current motion is estimated to be westward around 280/8 kt, although as the inner core continues to develop there could be some short-term track adjustments. The storm is forecast to begin to move west-northwestward later today then northwestward around the western periphery of a subtropical ridge. The latest track forecast is nudged slightly to the right, in between the simple consensus HCCA corrected consensus. Residents of Mexico should stay updated on the latest forecast. A track even a little more to the right of the official forecast could bring more significant impacts to the coast of southwestern Mexico. KEY MESSAGES: 1. The outer bands of Tropical Storm Flossie may bring locally heavy rainfall to the Mexican states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Michoacán, Colima and Jalisco through early next week.
