Recent rain allowed Sarasota County and the City of Venice to lift the burn bans issued in March by the Sarasota County Fire Department. The ban was lifted on June 9 when the Keech Bryan Drought Index dropped below 500 for seven consecutive days. My Sun Coast (Sarasota, Fla.), June 9, 2025 A burn ban was in effect for Sarasota County as drought increased the fire danger. Outdoor burning was prohibited without a valid permit, apart from barbeque grills or pits up to 3 feet in diameter and 2 feet in height. WTVT-TV FOX 13 Tampa Bay (Fla.), March 26, 2025

MD 1216 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 396...399... FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN TEXAS INTO EXTREME SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA
Mesoscale Discussion 1216 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0926 PM CDT Sun Jun 08 2025 Areas affected...portions of northern Texas into extreme southeast Oklahoma Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 396...399... Valid 090226Z - 090400Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 396, 399 continues. SUMMARY...Widespread severe winds are expected across northern Texas with a growing MCS. Further organization into a bow echo is possible, along with 75-100 mph gusts. DISCUSSION...Several supercells and intense multicellular clusters have begun to merge, and they are likely connected by a singular strong/deep cold pool. This resultant MCS continues to track southeastward, with a history of several severe gusts, including those measured at 80-100 mph. Very strong instability and 40-50 kts of effective bulk shear precede this MCS. A derecho is likely over the next several hours, with additional 75-100 mph gusts embedded within a broader swath of 60+ mph winds expected, as also shown by some of the latest WoFS ensemble output. ..Squitieri.. 06/09/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Valid 090205Z - 090330Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 396 continues. SUMMARY...Some of the stronger storms may still produce a few instances of severe gusts/hail. DISCUSSION...Several multicells and supercells are propagating southward behind residual outflow boundaries across portions of the Texas Panhandle. Over the past couple of hours, a few instances of severe hail/wind have been reported. However, the passage of convective outflow, along with nocturnal cooling should begin to limit the severe threat behind the predominant cluster of thunderstorms over northwestern TX. In the short-term though, a couple more instances of severe hail/wind cannot be ruled out. ..Squitieri.. 06/09/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1214 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 395... FOR CENTRAL/SOUTHERN MO INTO SOUTHWEST IL
Mesoscale Discussion 1214 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0839 PM CDT Sun Jun 08 2025 Areas affected...Central/southern MO into southwest IL Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 395... Valid 090139Z - 090315Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 395 continues. SUMMARY...Strong to locally severe storms may spread southeast into late evening. DISCUSSION...Some recent intensification has been noted with storms near a cold front across south-central/southeast MO, with other strong storms ongoing within the post-frontal regime into west-central MO. For the storms near the front, MLCAPE of 1500-2000 J/kg and modest deep-layer shear could support some threat for hail and damaging gusts. Longevity of these storms remains uncertain, but there is some potential for an isolated severe threat to eventually spread southeast out of WW 395. Any potential downstream watch issuance will depend on short-term trends regarding these storms over the next 60-90 minutes. MUCAPE is still on the order of 1000 J/kg immediately north of the front, and an isolated severe threat cannot be ruled out with these storms as well through the evening. Any remaining severe threat should subside in the wake of the post-frontal storms, as cooler and more stable conditions move into the region. ..Dean/Gleason.. 06/09/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Issued at 800 PM MST Sun Jun 08 2025 000 WTPZ43 KNHC 090235 TCDEP3 Tropical Storm Cosme Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP032025 800 PM MST Sun Jun 08 2025 Cosme is gradually improving in organization with deep convection pulsing, albeit with the center on the northern edge of the convection. A recent microwave pass did show a prominent curved band especially in the southern semicircle of the storm. The initial wind speed will stay at 40 kt for this advisory, between the lower subjective Dvorak estimates and higher objective values. Conditions look conducive for strengthening for about the next 24 hours while Cosme moves within a fairly low shear and warm SST environment. Thereafter, some increase in easterly shear is possible, and the storm should move over a tight SST gradient into a drier airmass. Cosme is forecast to respond to these conditions by weakening quickly by midweek. The only change to the previous forecast is a small reduction in the intensity forecast at 60 and 72 h, consistent with the latest model consensus. It would not be surprising to see Cosme become a remnant low faster than shown below. The storm continues moving northwestward at 8 kt, and a west-northwest to northwest motion is anticipated during the next day or so. After that time, Tropical Storm Barbara causes a mid-level ridge to erode, and Cosme should respond by taking a sharp turn to the northeast around Barbara. Model guidance has shifted notably to the left this evening, suggesting a little more separation of the tropical cyclones before they interact. While the new forecast is adjusted to the west, this is not a particularly confident longer-range forecast due to the complexity of the interaction.

Issued at 900 PM CST Sun Jun 08 2025 000 WTPZ42 KNHC 090235 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Barbara Discussion Number 4 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022025 900 PM CST Sun Jun 08 2025 After a marked decrease in deep convection a few hours ago, thunderstorm activity is now increasing near the center of the storm, with a comma-shaped pattern evolving. A recent GPM microwave overpass suggested that the inner core structure is becoming a little better defined. Subjective Dvorak intensity estimates are 55 kt from both TAFB and SAB, and this is used for the advisory intensity. This is also in agreement with a blend of the various objective intensity estimates based on both geostationary and limited microwave imagery. Although there is some scatter in the center fixes, the overall motion appears to be west-northwestward at around 300/9 kt. Though some of the track guidance suggests a more northwestward motion during the next few days, there should be enough of a ridge to the north of Barbara to prevent a significant northward turn during the next 48-72 hours. In fact the GFS model, which appears to have the most realistic and about the strongest initialization for the system, is on the left side of the guidance envelope. The official forecast has been shifted to the right of the previous one based on the model consensus, but leans toward the GFS solution. By 72-96 hours, Barbara should be reduced to a remnant low and move generally westward following the low-level flow. Barbara is currently over warm waters within an environment of low vertical wind shear and high atmospheric moisture. These factors should result in the cyclone strengthening into a hurricane very soon, and the NHC prediction is above almost all of the guidance. In a day or so, cooler SSTs are expected to cause a weakening trend to begin. The model guidance is in good agreement on Barbara weakening into a tropical depression in 60-72 hours, and this is also shown in the official forecast.
