    SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook

    AM CDT Tue Jul 16 2019
    Valid 161200Z - 171200Z
    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN
    WY/SOUTHEAST MT INTO SD AND NORTHERN NE...
    ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms are possible across the northern
    and central High Plains this afternoon and evening, with the primary
    threats being large hail and severe wind gusts. Other strong storms
    will be possible into portions of the Midwest, and also from the
    lower and mid Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley.
    ...Northern/Central High Plains... An upper trough over the
    Northwest will maintain moderate southwesterly midlevel flow across
    portions of the northern Rockies into the High Plains. Within
    this flow regime, most guidance suggests a shortwave trough will
    amplify later in the period across the northern High Plains. Steep
    midlevel lapse rates and sufficient low-level moisture will support
    moderate buoyancy by this afternoon, with generally long, straight
    hodographs supporting the potential for supercells capable of
    producing large hail (potentially very large) and locally severe
    wind gusts. A tornado or two will also be possible, especially with
    any supercell that persists into early evening, when some modest
    increase in low-level shear is expected.
    Coverage of storms remains somewhat uncertain during the first
    half of the period, but at least widely scattered supercells will
    be possible by late afternoon. Increasing large-scale ascent into
    the evening may support some upscale growth, which would spread a
    severe wind risk further east into a larger portion of the northern
    and/or central Plains.
    ...Eastern NE...IA...Southern MN... The remnant of an MCS that
    developed Monday night across western NE will likely be approaching
    the mid-Missouri Valley by the start of the period this morning. The
    attendant MCV may help to focus robust thunderstorm development
    later this afternoon across IA, southern MN, and perhaps far
    eastern NE. Shear in this region will be relatively modest through
    the afternoon, but should be sufficient to support organized
    multicell clusters, given the presence of moderate to locally
    strong buoyancy. Hail and damaging wind would be the primary
    threats with this scenario. Confidence in the evolution of early
    morning convection and attendant MCV is too low for a Slight Risk
    upgrade at this time, but probabilities may need to be increased
    in subsequent updates.
    ...Lower/Mid Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley... The remnant circulation of Barry will continue to weaken today as it moves
    northeastward, but some enhancement to the low-level flow will
    remain across the lower/mid Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley
    amidst a very moist environment. Most available guidance suggests
    that an intense band of convection will be ongoing south of the
    remnant circulation across southern AR this morning, with weaker
    bands of convection expected through the day to the east of the
    circulation. While effective shear will generally be weak in this
    region, low-level flow may be sufficient to support a threat of
    locally damaging wind with the strongest storms.

    ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE UPPER
    MS VALLEY...
    ...SUMMARY... Strong/severe thunderstorms are possible across
    portions of the upper Mississippi Valley. Isolated strong storms
    may also be noted across parts of the Plains and over portions of
    the northeastern US.
    ...Upper MS Valley...
    Seasonally strong mid-level short-wave trough is forecast to eject
    across the northern inter-mountain region during the day1 period
    which should aid organized convection across the northern High
    Plains Tuesday night. Latest guidance suggests an MCS may evolve
    ahead of this feature late day1 that should propagate across central
    SD by sunrise Wednesday. While late-evening guidance differs a bit
    regarding the timing of the affiliated short wave, there is reason
    to believe the Plains MCS may continue east into southern MN as LLJ
    shifts downstream ahead of the disturbance. It's not entirely clear
    how much convection, if any, will root into the boundary layer where
    more buoyant parcels will exist. However a strong signal does exist
    for organized elevated convection propagating east across southern
    MN along the nose of aforementioned LLJ. Wind and some hail are
    the primary threats.
    ...Plains...
    Farther southwest along surface boundary, strong low-level heating
    will contribute to parcels reaching their convective temperatures and
    isolated high-based convection should evolve across eastern NE into
    western KS. This activity could produce isolated severe wind gusts
    as sub-cloud temp/dew point spreads may approach 40F at peak heating.
    Isolated strong/severe thunderstorms may also develop across eastern
    WY within post-frontal easterly flow regime. Forecast soundings
    suggest a few supercells may form after 22z and this activity should
    spread toward the Black Hills after sunset.
    Isolated strong storms may also develop across eastern ND into
    northwest MN if sufficient instability develops in the wake of
    early-MCS that tracks across SD into southern MN. Large-scale forcing
    for ascent will be stronger across this region as exit region of
    500mb speed max is forecast to translate across southeast ND into
    northwest MN during the early evening hours.
    ...Delmarva to southern New England...
    Remnants of Barry are forecast to eject across the OH Valley into
    western NY/PA by 18z. Somewhat stronger mid-level flow will evolve
    ahead of this feature along a corridor into southern New England
    where boundary-layer heating is expected to be maximized. Forecast
    soundings exhibit mean cloud-layer flow on the order of 25kt. With
    surface temperatures expected to rise into the 90s, steepening
    surface-3km lapse rates should enhance downdraft potential with
    convection across this region.
    ...MAXIMUM RISK BY HAZARD... Tornado: 2% - Marginal Wind:
    15% - Slight Hail: 5% - Marginal

    Valid 181200Z - 191200Z
    ...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS
    OF THE NORTHERN PLAINS AND GREAT LAKES REGION...
    ...SUMMARY... A few strong storms may develop across parts of the
    northern Plains and Great Lakes region Thursday.
    ...Northern Plains/Great Lakes Region...
    Mid-level heights are expected to rise across the upper Midwest
    into the Great Lakes region during the day3 period as upper ridging
    gradually expands across the southern 2/3rds of the CONUS. Latest
    guidance suggests a short-wave trough will eject across the upper
    Great Lakes into ON early in the period. Convection will likely
    be ongoing at sunrise ahead of this feature, aided in part by LLJ
    over northern lower MI. While some of this activity could prove
    strong, the primary concern for robust convection would be later
    in the day along a boundary draped across lower MI-WI-southern
    MN. Capping will likely suppress thunderstorm activity along this
    boundary much of the period. However, convection could evolve by
    early evening along southern fringe of stronger westerlies. If so,
    wind will be the primary risk.
    Upstream across ND, strong boundary-layer heating will contribute
    to destabilization across the northern Plains ahead of a progressive
    cold front. This wind shift should settle into central ND during the
    evening as notable short-wave trough ejects along the international
    border. Latest guidance suggests convection should evolve and spread
    east after sunset within a strongly sheared environment that would
    favor organization. Wind is the primary risk with this activity.

    SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
    Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0125 AM CDT Tue Jul 16 2019
    Valid 161200Z - 171200Z
    ...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN GREAT
    BASIN...
    ...Synopsis... A mid-level shortwave trough will amplify as
    it progresses eastward across the western CONUS throughout the
    period. Stronger mid-level flow associated with the aforementioned
    trough will glance the Great Basin during the afternoon, where a
    deeply mixed boundary layer will be in place to assist the downward
    transport of the stronger flow aloft. As such, portions of the
    Great Basin will be subject to dry and windy conditions which will
    promote wildfire-spread potential.
    ...Portions of the Great Basin into the central Rockies... Diurnal
    mixing of the stronger flow aloft to the surface will result in
    widespread 15-25 mph sustained southwesterly winds and 10-20%
    RH across much of the Great Basin, into the Great Divide Basin in
    southwest Wyoming by peak heating, where an elevated delineation
    has been maintained. A critical area remains in place across
    portions of the Great Basin, where the best overlap of 20+ mph
    surface winds and 10% RH were depicted by the latest model guidance,
    where accumulated rainfall in the past two days has been relatively
    minimal, and where fuels are critically receptive to fire spread
    (with ERCs exceeding the 90th percentile). By evening, nocturnal
    cooling of the boundary layer will result in subsiding winds,
    tempering the wildfire-spread threat to a degree.

    SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
    Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0156 AM CDT Tue Jul 16 2019
    Valid 171200Z - 181200Z
    ...Synopsis... Large-scale mid-level cyclonic flow will become
    more zonal as a mid-level shortwave trough de-amplifies and moves
    northeast, away from the western CONUS on Day 2/Wednesday. 50-70
    knot mid-level flow will overspread the Pacific Northwest and
    northern Rockies areas, with weaker zonal mid-level flow glancing
    the Great Basin and central Rockies regions, where surface low
    pressure will dominate.
    ...Portions of the Great Basin into the central Rockies... Overall
    weaker mid-level flow is expected across the central/northern
    Great Basin into the central Rockies given the de-amplification
    of the aforementioned trough, hence weaker flow to mix to the
    surface. Currently, the consensus among model guidance members
    is that 15-20 mph sustained west-southwesterly surface winds will
    materialize during the afternoon, coincident with 10-20% RH, where
    an elevated area is in place. Locally critical wind/RH conditions
    may be realized in terrain favoring locations via downslope flow,
    though brevity of such conditions precludes a critical delineation
    at this time. With the onset of nocturnal cooling and boundary
    layer decoupling, surface wind speeds should subside sufficiently
    to temper the threat for wildfire spread.
