Issued at 900 AM CST Tue Jun 17 2025 472 WTPZ45 KNHC 171445 TCDEP5 Tropical Storm Erick Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP052025 900 AM CST Tue Jun 17 2025 Erick's structure continues to show signs of organization, with a partial 0819 UTC AMSR2 microwave pass possibly showing the initial development of an inner core. Subjective Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB are T2.5/35 kt, and the latest objective ADT estimate is just over 40 kt. Based on a blend of these data, the initial intensity is raised to 40 kt. Erick appears to have slowed down a bit and is moving west-northwestward (300 degrees) at 8 kt. The storm is reaching the western extent of a mid-level ridge to the north, with a mid-/upper-level trough located over northern Mexico. These features should cause Erick to turn northwestward later today, with that trajectory continuing for the next 3 days. Speed-wise, the cyclone is likely to move at its slowest (around 6 kt) this evening but then gradually accelerate during the next several days. Although the models are in good agreement on the general track of Erick, the storm's parallel trajectory to the coast of Mexico will play an important role in exactly which areas receive the most significant wind and surge impacts. The updated NHC track forecast has been nudged westward, and generally lies between the HCCA and TVCE consensus aids. The environment appears ideal for rapid strengthening. Vertical shear is expected to be very low, with the cyclone moving over waters of around 29 degrees Celsius and within a moist mid-level environment of around 80 percent relative humidity. As a result of these conditions, Rapid intensification (RI) indices are rather high, particular for the 36- and 48-hour periods. The NHC intensity forecast explicitly shows RI occurring while Erick approaches the coast of southern Mexico, with a 48-hour intensity just below major hurricane strength. Despite this increase in the forecast intensity, there are still a few models (including the normally skillful HCCA aid) that show Erick reaching major hurricane strength, and additional upward adjustments in the forecast could be required later today. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Erick is expected to rapidly intensify before reaching the coast of southern Mexico on Thursday, and a hurricane warning is now in effect for portions of the coast of Oaxaca. A hurricane watch is in effect for portions of the Guerrero coast. 2. Erick will produce heavy rainfall across portions of Central America and Southwest Mexico through this week. Life threatening flooding and mudslides are possible, especially in areas of steep terrain. 3. A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce coastal flooding near and to the east of where the center crosses the coast, in areas of onshore winds.

MD 1329 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 426... FOR PARTS OF EAST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
Mesoscale Discussion 1329 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0752 AM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025 Areas affected...parts of east central Oklahoma Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 426... Valid 171252Z - 171445Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 426 continues. SUMMARY...The stronger lingering storms will continue to spread south-southeastward toward the McAlester vicinity through 9-10 AM CDT, but intensities are expected to weaken further with diminishing potential for strong to severe surface gusts. A new severe weather watch is not anticipated. DISCUSSION...The organized southeastward propagating convective system has undergone substantive weakening over the past few hours, with stronger convection shrinking in areal extent and surface gusts diminishing in peak intensity. A notable (2-4+ mb 2-hourly surface pressure rises evident in 12Z surface observations) small cold pool is providing support for this convection as it propagates southeast of the Stillwater OK vicinity. Based on its 30-35 kt forward propagation, it could approach the McAlester vicinity by 15Z. However, based on current trends, including weakening forcing for ascent in the presence of considerable mid-level inhibition, it seems probable that convection will continue to wane, with further weakening of the surface cold pool and diminishing surface gusts. ..Kerr.. 06/17/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

A portion of a desert bighorn sheep herd in southern Nevada were being relocated because the vegetation and water were not sufficient to support all of the animals. Since December, 122,000 gallons of water have been hauled to watering holes, or guzzlers, in Southern Nevada to provide water for the sheep. The sheep tended to stay within a couple of miles of the guzzlers to have water. About 150 sheep were being moved from Valley of Fire State Park and Lake Mead National Recreation Area to three different release sites in Utah and northern Nevada.
