MD 1456 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHERN LOWER MI INTO PARTS OF IN/OH...WESTERN PA...NORTHERN WV
Mesoscale Discussion 1456 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0107 PM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025 Areas affected...Southern lower MI into parts of IN/OH...western PA...northern WV Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 261807Z - 262000Z Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent SUMMARY...Storms with localized damaging winds are possible this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Multiple storm clusters are ongoing early this afternoon across southern lower MI, with other recent development into northeast OH and northern IN. The southern lower MI storms are accompanied by gradually expanding outflow, which will eventually move into parts of northeast IN and northern OH. Additional storm development may occur near this outflow this afternoon as it spreads east-southeastward. Deep-layer shear is weak, but modest west-northwesterly flow in the 850-700 mb layer may support occasional loosely organized clusters. A 44 kt gust was recently observed in Toledo, OH, and strong buoyancy and steep low-level lapse rates will continue to support a threat of strong gusts and localized damaging wind through the afternoon. Farther south, deep-layer shear is even weaker into parts of central IN, central/southern OH, and southwest PA. However, a favorable downburst environment is in place across this region, with strong buoyancy, relatively large PW, and steepening low-level lapse rates. A threat for locally damaging wind will accompany the strongest storms. ..Dean/Hart.. 06/26/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 1455 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1254 PM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025 Areas affected...northern Virginia...Maryland...Delaware...DC...eastern West Virginia...southern Pennsylvania Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 261754Z - 262000Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...Storms capable of damaging winds possible this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorm activity has begun to initiate across portions of the Appalachians. This activity is expected to continue to expand in coverage through the afternoon/evening. The environment to the east is hot and unstable (with MLCAPE around 1000-2000 J/kg) and temperatures in the upper 80s to 90s. Despite the weak flow aloft and weak shear, steep low-level lapse rates (around 7.5-8 C/km) and moist profiles will support potential for wet downbursts and damaging outflow winds. This area will be monitored for watch potential through the afternoon. ..Thornton/Hart.. 06/26/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0240 PM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025 Valid 271200Z - 281200Z Elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions are expected across central and southwest Wyoming Friday. A broad increase in westerly winds at mid-levels in combination with a dry boundary layer will support an overlap of 15-20 mph surface winds and relative humidity of 10-15 percent Friday afternoon. Fuels remain drier west of the Continental Divide owing to rainfall deficits but heightened west-southwest winds should be enough to pose at least a broad elevated fire weather threat across central Wyoming. Otherwise, forecast (see below) remains on track with no significant changes to Elevated highlights. ..Williams.. 06/26/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1249 AM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025/ ...Synopsis... Elevated fire weather conditions are expected across parts of central to southwest Wyoming Friday afternoon. Strengthening zonal flow over the northern Rockies will promote a more pronounced surface mass response across the northern High Plains on Friday compared to today/Thursday. Consequently, low-level winds will likely be slightly stronger across a broad swath of the eastern Great Basin and parts of the Four Corners region. In general, most locations from eastern NV into northern AZ, UT, southern ID, and WY will see breezy conditions with wind speeds generally in the mid teens. Across southwest to central WY, downslope flow into the WY Basin and in the lee of the Wind River Range will regionally augment surface winds to near 20 mph. Deep mixing will promote frequent gusts up to 25-30 mph by peak heating as RH values fall into the teens. Several hours of elevated conditions appear likely, and periods of critical conditions are possible. Fuels across much of WY are not as dry compared to locations southwest, but several hours of dry/windy conditions should promote adequate drying of dead finer fuels to support the fire weather concern. An expansion of the Elevated risk area appears possible if confidence in sustained/widespread 15+ mph winds increases across portions of the Great Basin/Four Corners region where fuels remain very dry. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

Across southwest to central WY, downslope flow into the WY Basin and in the lee of the Wind River Range will regionally augment surface winds to near 20 mph. Deep mixing will promote frequent gusts up to 25-30 mph by peak heating as RH values fall into the teens. Several hours of elevated conditions appear likely, and periods of critical conditions are possible. Fuels across much of WY are not as dry compared to locations southwest, but several hours of dry/windy conditions should promote adequate drying of dead finer fuels to support the fire weather concern. An expansion of the Elevated risk area appears possible if confidence in sustained/widespread 15+ mph winds increases across portions of the Great Basin/Four Corners region where fuels remain very dry. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0240 PM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025 Valid 271200Z - 281200Z Elevated to locally critical fire weather conditions are expected across central and southwest Wyoming Friday. A broad increase in westerly winds at mid-levels in combination with a dry boundary layer will support an overlap of 15-20 mph surface winds and relative humidity of 10-15 percent Friday afternoon. Fuels remain drier west of the Continental Divide owing to rainfall deficits but heightened west-southwest winds should be enough to pose at least a broad elevated fire weather threat across central Wyoming. Otherwise, forecast (see below) remains on track with no significant changes to Elevated highlights. ..Williams.. 06/26/2025 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1249 AM CDT Thu Jun 26 2025/ ...Synopsis... Elevated fire weather conditions are expected across parts of central to southwest Wyoming Friday afternoon. Strengthening zonal flow over the northern Rockies will promote a more pronounced surface mass response across the northern High Plains on Friday compared to today/Thursday. Consequently, low-level winds will likely be slightly stronger across a broad swath of the eastern Great Basin and parts of the Four Corners region. In general, most locations from eastern NV into northern AZ, UT, southern ID, and WY will see breezy conditions with wind speeds generally in the mid teens. Across southwest to central WY, downslope flow into the WY Basin and in the lee of the Wind River Range will regionally augment surface winds to near 20 mph.
