SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1125 AM CDT Thu Sep 23 2021
Valid 231630Z - 241200Z
...THERE IS A MARGINAL RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE MID-ATLANTIC INTO SOUTHERN NEW ENGLAND...
...SUMMARY...
Isolated strong to severe storms associated with a marginal threat
for a brief tornado and occasional wind damage should continue today
into tonight across parts of the Mid-Atlantic and southern New
England.
...Mid-Atlantic into Southern New England...
A band of showers and storms is ongoing across parts of the
Mid-Atlantic along and just ahead of a surface cold front. A zone of
large-scale ascent associated with low-level warm advection and
modest convergence along the front will continue through tonight,
while making slow eastward progress as a closed upper low moves
gradually northward across the Great Lakes region into southeastern
Ontario. Low-topped convection should continue to train northward
this afternoon and evening within the larger belt of precipitation
across the Mid-Atlantic.
The environment ahead of this activity should remain marginally
favorable for isolated strong to severe storms. Visible satellite
imagery shows a fair amount of cloud cover ahead of the line, which
should slow diurnal heating and steepening of low-level lapse rates
though the afternoon. Still, a moist low-level airmass characterized
by mid 60s to low 70s surface dewpoints combined with modest
diabatic heating should support generally 500-1250 J/kg of MLCAPE,
with greater instability across DE/NJ compared to southern NY and
vicinity.
The strongest and largely meridional winds are expected to remain
behind the surface cold front, with only about 30-35 kt of
deep-layer shear present across the warm sector. Even so, some
enhancement to the low-level wind field is present ahead of the band
of storms, and a brief embedded circulation capable of producing a
tornado or two remains possible. Otherwise, occasional strong to
damaging winds should be the main threat through the rest of the day
as the band of convection develops slowly eastward towards the
Atlantic Coast. This marginal severe threat may continue through
tonight across parts of southern New England where sufficient
boundary-layer moisture can support weak instability and the
potential surface-based storms.

SPC Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1113 AM CDT Thu Sep 23 2021
Valid 231700Z - 241200Z
Only minor modifications were made to the outlook in the central
High Plains based on observational and model trends. See the
previous discussion for more details.
..Wendt.. 09/23/2021
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1232 AM CDT Thu Sep 23 2021/
...Synopsis...
Early morning surface observations show a cold front along the
US/Canada border. This feature will begin to shift southward through
the day as the parent surface low shifts eastward into the Canadian
Prairies in tandem with a passing upper-level trough. The passage of
this dry cold front, along with weak surface pressure falls
along/ahead of the boundary, will support increasing winds and
heightened fire weather concerns across parts of the Plains. Further
west where fuels are somewhat drier, weak surface flow will limit
most fire weather threats, though localized concerns may evolve in
northern California.
...Southern Plains...
Modest zonal flow across the central Rockies will yield some lee
troughing across the central High Plains ahead of the approaching
cold front. Weak surface pressure falls are already noted in morning
observations and support this general idea. The resulting mass
response will yield increasing southerly winds from northwest TX
into KS. An unseasonably dry air mass in place across TX and OK
(where dewpoint values are near the 10th percentile for this time of
year) and offshore flow along the Gulf Coast will support little
moisture return and RH values in the teens and low 20s this
afternoon. With ERC values continuing to climb close to the 90th
percentile, elevated conditions appear likely.
...Central High Plains...
Winds are forecast to increase to 15-20 mph in the wake of the cold
frontal passage this afternoon. While temperatures will see some
moderation, dry air advection from the north and a slight downslope
component will support RH reductions into the teens and low 20s.
While wind gusts up to 20-30 mph are possible during peak heating,
the potential for sustained 20+ mph winds appears low. Recent fuel
reports from the field suggest that fuels are generally receptive
and should support a elevated fire weather conditions.
...Northern California...
Building surface high pressure over the Pacific Northwest will
induce northerly downslope winds through the northern Sacramento
Valley. Winds may reach up to 15 mph by late afternoon, and RH
values in the teens are expected. While elevated conditions are
possible, the spatial extent and duration of this threat appears too
limited for highlights.
