Mesoscale Discussion 0842 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0336 PM CDT Sat May 17 2025 Areas affected...Upstate New York into Vermont and far western Massachusetts Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 277... Valid 172036Z - 172230Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 277 continues. SUMMARY...Scattered strong to severe storms persist from Upstate New York into Vermont. Strong gusts, marginal hail, and a brief tornado remain possible. DISCUSSION...Storms appear to be producing strong outflow/gusts as well as hail up to severe limits over northern NY and VT. The area has destabilized as lapse rates continue to steepen aloft, now with around 1000 J/kg MLCAPE. However, satellite imagery shows the effects of midlevel subsidence father south into PA, with flat/"pancake" cumulus presentation. Objective analysis does indicate relatively large 0-1 SRH over VT/MA/NH, with values of 100-150 m2/s2. In addition, early day clouds have moved out, allowing heating. As such, this general zone could support a brief tornado as storms approach from the west later this afternoon. ..Jewell.. 05/17/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0843 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 279... FOR CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
Mesoscale Discussion 0843 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0435 PM CDT Sat May 17 2025 Areas affected...Central Oklahoma Concerning...Tornado Watch 279... Valid 172135Z - 172300Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 279 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat for WW 279 is increasing, with an isolated supercell thunderstorm ongoing across central Oklahoma. All hazards are anticipated, including hail larger than 2.00", 65-80 MPH winds, and tornadoes. DISCUSSION...Recent radar imagery shows an ongoing supercell thunderstorm that is undergoing an updraft split. 20Z OUN sounding data and KTLX VAD data show very strong low-level shear and streamwise vorticity that will favor the right split and an eastward storm motion along the warm front, resulting in increased tornado potential this afternoon into the evening. A strong tornado is possible with the right splitting supercell as it approaches and crosses the I-35 corridor in the next 1-2 hours. Echo tops on the right-split of the supercell have increased to 55 kft, suggesting rapid updraft intensification. Any additional thunderstorms that develop and interact with the warm front will be capable of all hazards. ..Halbert.. 05/17/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0500 PM CDT Sat May 17 2025 Valid 191200Z - 251200Z An upper-level trough and associated mid-level wind maximum will contribute to ongoing elevated/critical fire weather conditions across portions of southern New Mexico/western Texas for Day 3/Monday. Residual precipitation and higher elevation snow within a cool, post frontal air mass will temporarily mitigate fire weather threat across the Intermountain West north of Interstate 40. Several upper-level embedded short waves should calm fire weather concerns across the Northern Rockies with several opportunities for precipitation through Day 8/Saturday. Dry conditions under a building ridge and suppressed surface pressure gradients will accompany rising temperatures across the Southwest, aiding in drying of fuels. ...Southwest... Persistent critical fire weather conditions are expected for Day 3/Monday across southern New Mexico and far western Texas as mid-level trough and associated jet eject into the Southern Plains. Efficient boundary layer mixing with minimal cloud cover ahead of a cold front will support strong sustained west winds of 20 mph, to locally 30 mph along with critically low relative humidity. Critical probabilities were expanded slightly eastward into west Texas. Overall fire weather conditions are expected to improve from Day 4/Tuesday into Day 8/Saturday across the Southwest. No large scale critical conditions are expected although above normal temperatures will develop as a result of the building upper-level ridge, drying fuels in areas that are already experiencing severe/extreme drought. ...Sacramento/Central Valley... Dry, post-frontal northerly winds of 15-20 mph with relative humidity falling into the 15-20 percent range will promote at least an elevated fire weather threat for Day 3/Monday across the Sacramento/Central Valley. Marginal fuel dryness precludes introduction of Critical probabilities at this time. ..Williams.. 05/17/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product... Read more
