    SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
    Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1151
    PM CDT Thu Aug 01 2019
    Valid 021200Z - 031200Z
    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM CENTRAL
    KANSAS INTO CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...AND OVER MUCH OF WESTERN MONTANA... ...SUMMARY... Isolated severe storms are likely from central Kansas
    into central Oklahoma. Damaging wind gusts or marginal hail are the
    most likely threats. A brief tornado is possible over north-central
    Oklahoma or south-central Kansas. Strong wind gusts are possible
    over much of western Montana.
    ...Synopsis... An upper high will remain centered over the Four
    Corners states, with modest northwest flow aloft across much of
    the Plains. To the west, a shortwave trough will skirt across WA,
    northern ID and northwest MT, providing increasing deep shear and
    cooling aloft which will aid destabilization.
    At the surface, mid to upper 60s F dewpoints will generally exist
    from the central and southern Plains eastward to the Mid Atlantic,
    with high pressure causing stable conditions from the Midwest into
    the Northeast.
    Low pressure will develop during the afternoon over western OK and
    the TX Panhandle, with a north-south warm front from central KS
    into northern OK. Hot conditions will be found over TX and western
    OK, which will aid in storm development generally northeast of the
    surface low.
    ...Central KS into central OK... Thunderstorms are likely to be
    ongoing in the morning over much of eastern KS, with scattered
    showers/storms into northeast OK as well. Much of this activity
    is expected to thin out by early afternoon as mass fields focus
    west toward the developing low. Strong heating will result in an
    uncapped air mass from central KS into OK, with MLCAPE averaging
    2000 J/kg within the theta-e axis. Storm initiation is expected near
    21Z along the warm front in KS, and within the low-level lapse rate
    plume into western OK which will also be near the low.
    The corridor near I-35 and along the warm front will have lower
    LCLs, and a band of 200+ m2/s2 SRH. Forecast hodographs are
    sufficiently long to sustain south or even southwestward moving
    cells, including a few supercells. Sporadic hail or a brief tornado
    is possible. However, the most likely threat for the region is
    expected to be a few damaging wind gusts as storms spread south and
    into the steep low-level lapse rate environment. A small Slight
    Risk cannot be ruled out in later outlooks should confidence in
    storm coverage and positioning increase.
    ...Central ID into western MT... Strong heating will occur over
    ID and MT, beneath strengthening southwest flow aloft along the
    periphery of the upper ridge. At the same time, cooling aloft
    will occur, and this will result in very steep lapse rates from
    the surface through 500 mb. Given these profiles, moisture will
    be sufficient for high-based thunderstorms to form over central
    ID and into western MT during the afternoon. Deep-layer shear in
    the cloud-bearing layer will favor both cellular activity and small
    lines resulting in outflow, and a few wind gusts may approach severe
    levels. Any cells will also be capable of mainly small hail given
    the low moisture content.

    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
    OF THE NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN PLAINS...
    ...SUMMARY... Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms may develop
    Saturday across parts of the northern and southern Plains.
    ...Synopsis... Upper ridging centered over the Four Corners will
    remain in place on Saturday, influencing the sensible weather
    across much of the western and central CONUS. Modest flow aloft
    will exist around this upper ridging, with westerly flow across
    the northern High Plains veering to northerly across the central
    and southern Plains. Weak cyclonic flow aloft will persist across
    the eastern CONUS.
    A predominantly nondescript surface pattern is anticipated across the
    majority of the CONUS. The only exceptions are across the northern
    High Plains, where the tail end of a cold front is expected to move
    through Saturday evening, and the southern Plains, where a low is
    expected to drift southward across northwest TX.
    ...Northern Plains... Despite strong boundary-layer mixing,
    dewpoints will likely remain in the low 60s along and east of a lee
    trough extending from southeast WY into eastern MT. The approaching
    cold front will likely remain west of this region until late Saturday
    evening and the stronger large-scale forcing for ascent will be
    displaced north of the international border. Even so, convergence
    along the lee trough coupled with favorable low-level moisture
    is expected to result in isolated thunderstorm development. Steep
    mid-level lapse rates and moderate vertical shear will support an
    isolated severe threat with any storms that do develop.
    ...Southern Plains... Showers and thunderstorms will likely be
    ongoing at the beginning of the period across eastern OK. Coverage
    and location of this early day convection will influence severe
    potential downstream across southern OK and northern TX. Current
    expectation is for this early day convection to move southwestward
    under the influence of a low-amplitude shortwave progressing through
    eastern OK. As it does, increasing instability and vertical shear
    could contribute to strengthening storms and the potential for a
    few strong wind gusts.
    ...MAXIMUM RISK BY HAZARD... Tornado: 2% - Marginal Wind:
    5% - Marginal Hail: 5% - Marginal

    SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
    Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0151 AM CDT Fri Aug 02 2019
    Valid 021200Z - 031200Z
    ...Synopsis... A potent mid-level trough will be moving through
    the Pacific Northwest today which will bring potential for both
    elevated fire weather conditions and isolated dry thunderstorms in
    portions of the Pacific Northwest and the northern Rockies.
    ...Columbia Basin... Strengthening onshore flow will lead to gap
    flow through the Cascades today. In addition, vertical mixing will
    lead to breezy and dry conditions in eastern Washington. Therefore,
    elevated fire weather conditions are possible with wind speeds
    around 15 to 20 mph and relative humidity around 20 to 25 percent.
    ...Northern Montana... Some dry and breezy conditions are
    expected in northern Montana today as a cold front moves through
    the area. This may lead to elevated fire weather conditions this
    afternoon and evening as relative humidity drops to around 15 to
    20 percent and winds increase to around 15 mph.
    ...Isolated dry thunderstorms - Northeast Washington... Isolated
    dry thunderstorms are expected to be ongoing at the beginning of
    the period in northeast Washington with fast-moving storms in an
    environment with PWAT around 0.6". These storms are only expected
    to continue for a few hours of the morning with the dry thunderstorm
    threat ending by mid morning.
    ...Isolated dry thunderstorms - Central Idaho into western Montana...
    Scattered thunderstorms are expected this afternoon from central
    Idaho and northwest Montana along and near a cold front that is
    moving through the region. While storm coverage is expected to be
    scattered, kept the forecast isolated as storms are expected to be a combination of wet and dry. Also, fuels are likely a combination of
    critical and moist, especially in central Idaho and far southwest
    Montana where several consecutive days of thunderstorms have
    occurred.

    SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
    Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0151 AM CDT Fri Aug 02 2019
    Valid 031200Z - 041200Z
    ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
    ...Synopsis... Generally weak flow across much of the western
    CONUS should limit the overall threat for dry and windy fire weather
    conditions on Saturday. The best chance for elevated fire weather
    conditions will be in north-central Montana, but forecast flow is
    too weak (10 to 15 mph) at this time to include an elevated area. Thunderstorms, some of which may be dry, are possible in
    south-central Montana, but fuels across much of this region are not
    quite favorable at this time. Therefore, no isolated dry thunderstorm
    areas have been included in this outlook.
