MD 0111 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PARTS OF SOUTHWESTERN THROUGH NORTH CENTRAL VIRGINIA AND ADJACENT PORTIONS OF THE MID ATLANTIC
Mesoscale Discussion 0111 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1155 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025 Areas affected...parts of southwestern through north central Virginia and adjacent portions of the Mid Atlantic Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 161755Z - 162030Z Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent SUMMARY...Locally damaging wind gusts may accompany showers spreading east-northeast of the Blue Ridge, across the Mid Atlantic, this afternoon. DISCUSSION...Beneath the leading edge of mid-level forcing for ascent and cooling (generally in the 850-500 mb layer) spreading across and east of the Allegheny and Blue Ridge Mountains, insolation is contributing to modest steepening of lapse rates and destabilization sufficient for low-topped convective development. As this spreads east-northeastward toward the coastal plain through 3-5 PM EDT, it remains unclear whether this will deepen through sufficiently cold layers aloft to support an appreciable risk for thunderstorms. However, to the south of a large and still deepening cyclone, activity is embedded within strong southwesterly to westerly deep-layer mean wind fields, which still appears to include 50-60 kt in the lowest 3 km AGL. Although a relatively cool and moist near-surface environment may not be particularly efficient contributing to the downward mixing of momentum, heavier precipitation in the stronger convection may still support occasional potentially damaging gusts reaching the surface. ..Kerr/Smith.. 02/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0109 CONCERNING WINTER MIXED PRECIPITATION FOR NORTHERN NEW YORK...NORTHERN NEW ENGLAND
Mesoscale Discussion 0109 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0728 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025 Areas affected...Northern New York...Northern New England Concerning...Winter mixed precipitation Valid 161328Z - 161930Z SUMMARY...Heavy snow will likely develop across parts of northern New York and northern New England this morning. Further south into parts of east-central New York and central New England, a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain will be possible this morning. DISCUSSION...A mid-level trough will quickly move through the southern and central Appalachians this morning. A surface low will deepen and move northeastward into the Northeast. Ahead of the system, a band of strong warm-advection was located from New York eastward into the southern New England, where widespread precipitation is ongoing. The freezing line is currently located from southern New York eastward into southern New England. A zone (about 100 miles wide) of freezing rain and sleet is located to the north of the freezing line. This freezing rain and sleet will spread northward over the next few hours. A changeover to rain will occur as the freezing line moves northward. In addition, areas that are experiencing snow may changeover to freezing rain. Freezing rain rates could exceed 0.05 inches per hour. Further north into northern New England, surface temperatures are in the teens and single digits. The cold air in the low to mid-levels will make snow the primary precipitation type. As strong warm advection and isentropic lift increase across the region, the development of heavy snow will likely occur in many areas. Snowfall rates could exceed 1 inch per hour. ..Broyles.. 02/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...CAR...GYX...BOX...BTV...ALY...BGM...BUF...

SPC 1730Z Day 2 Outlook
Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1110 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025 Valid 171200Z - 181200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... A few thunderstorms may occur over parts of southern Florida and the Keys on Monday. ...Synopsis... As upper short-wave troughing departs the Northeast Monday, briefly zonal/westerly flow aloft will prevail. Later in the period, however, gradual amplification of the flow field will begin over the West, as a short-wave trough digs southeastward out of the Pacific Northwest across the Great Basin toward the Four Corners region. At the surface, a cold front moving eastward across the western Atlantic will trail southwestward into southern Florida early in the period. Meanwhile, a broad area of lee-side low pressure will prevail over the central/southern High Plains, as strong westerlies aloft persist ahead of the gradually amplifying western trough. A resulting, broad zone of low-level warm advection will remain across the central and southern Plains region through the period. ...South Florida and the Keys... As the trailing portion of the cold front drifts slowly southward across southern Florida and the Florida Keys through the first half of the period, showers and isolated thunderstorms appear likely. The convection should shift southward with time in tandem with the progression of the front, with any lingering lightning overnight likely to have moved south of the Florida mainland. ...Elsewhere... Showers -- and a few sporadic lightning flashes -- are expected to occur with a diurnally driven peak in activity, from the Pacific Northwest east-southeastward into the Wyoming/Colorado vicinity, in tandem with progression of the short-wave trough. Any lightning activity should remain sparse, thus precluding the need for a 10% thunder area. ..Goss.. 02/16/2025 Read more

SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1009 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025 Valid 161630Z - 171200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA NORTHWARD INTO THE DELMARVA... ...SUMMARY... Scattered damaging winds and a brief tornado are possible from eastern North Carolina into parts of the Mid-Atlantic region through the afternoon. ...Mid-Atlantic states and eastern NC... A powerful mid-level trough from the Upper Midwest into the Southeast will pivot northeast reaching New England this evening before evolving into a mid-level low. An accompanying 120-kt 500-mb jet over the southern Appalachians late this morning will move to the Mid-Atlantic coast by late afternoon. A broken low-topped squall line extends from eastern VA southward into eastern NC and northeast SC. Strong low-level warm/moist advection to the southeast of a deepening cyclone will act to destabilize parts of the Delmarva ahead of the approaching squall line where temperatures have warmed into the mid 60s with lower 60s dewpoints. Around 250-500 J/kg SBCAPE to the east of the convective line will support a maintenance of convection given the strong large-scale forcing for ascent. Stronger portions within the broken convective line will aid in transporting intense lower tropospheric flow (60-70 kt around 0.5 km AGL) to the surface in the form of sporadic damaging gusts (55-70 mph). The severe risk will cease as the line moves east of the coast later this afternoon. ...North FL... The southern portion of the convective band will continue to gradually shift east across north FL through the mid afternoon. The 12 UTC Jacksonville raob showed considerable inversion around 700 mb which will act to limit overall storm intensity despite diurnal heating. An isolated risk for damaging gusts will be the primary threat with this activity before storms diminish in intensity later this afternoon. ..Smith/Lyons.. 02/16/2025 Read more

MD 0110 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 13... FOR NORTHERN FLORIDA...SOUTHEAST GEORGIA...EASTERN SOUTHERN CAROLINA...FAR SOUTHERN NORTH CAROLINA
Mesoscale Discussion 0110 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0748 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025 Areas affected...Northern Florida...Southeast Georgia...Eastern Southern Carolina...Far Southern North Carolina Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 13... Valid 161348Z - 161545Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 13 continues. SUMMARY...A threat for damaging wind gusts will continue this morning from parts of northern Florida northeastward into southeast Georgia and the Carolinas. DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery shows a line of strong to severe storms from the eastern Florida Panhandle northeastward into the central Carolinas. Ahead of the line, surface dewpoints in the 60s F are contributing to weak instability. The RAP has MUCAPE less than 500 J/kg in most areas across the Atlantic coastal plains. In spite of this, frontal forcing is strong near the line, which will likely help the line to maintain strength over the next few hours. With the strong low to mid-level flow in place, evident on regional WSR-88D VWPs, the line is expected to continue to produce isolated damaging gusts, especially along the parts that are more organized. The wind-damage threat will likely persist into the mid to late morning as the line moves through the Atlantic coastal areas. ..Broyles.. 02/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0656 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025 Valid 161300Z - 171200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM PARTS OF NORTH FLORIDA INTO SOUTHEAST GEORGIA AND SOUTH CAROLINA... ...SUMMARY... Scattered damaging winds and a brief tornado or two remain possible through about midday from north Florida to parts of South Carolina. Isolated damaging winds and a brief tornado may also occur northward into parts of the Mid-Atlantic region through the afternoon. ...Southeast to the Mid-Atlantic... As an upper trough pivots northeastward from the Southeast to Mid-Atlantic today, an extensive QLCS in progress this morning will continue moving quickly eastward across north FL, southeast GA, and SC. Greater low-level moisture and related weak instability is present over parts of north FL and vicinity ahead of the line and a surface cold front. Boundary layer moisture and buoyancy quickly drop off with northward extent into GA/SC/NC. Still, very strong low-level flow remains present across these regions, with a 50-70+ kt low-level jet supporting ample 0-3 km SRH. Current expectations are for the northern portion of the line to gradually outpace appreciable surface-based instability, while the southern portion becomes increasingly displaced from the large-scale ascent associated with the departing upper trough. Even so, scattered severe/damaging winds and perhaps a brief tornado or two should remain possible through about midday given the strength of the low-level flow present. See Mesoscale Discussion 108 for more near-term details. The northern portion this QLCS should remain generally elevated atop a near-surface stable layer in the lee of the Appalachians in NC to VA for the next few hours. But, it should eventually impinge on weak surface-based buoyancy later in the morning across the coastal Carolinas to southeastern VA. With very strong low-level flow/shear expected to be in place across these regions, any intensification of the thin convective line may yield occasional damaging winds and perhaps even a brief tornado. Even so, most guidance continues to suggest the overall severe threat will remain isolated/marginal from roughly NC northward into the Mid-Atlantic. ..Gleason/Broyles.. 02/16/2025 Read more

MD 0107 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR NORTHEAST GEORGIA...SOUTH CAROLINA
Mesoscale Discussion 0107 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0452 AM CST Sun Feb 16 2025 Areas affected...Northeast Georgia...South Carolina Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 161052Z - 161315Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Isolated severe gusts are expected this morning across parts western and central South Carolina. Weather watch issuance remains uncertain. DISCUSSION...Mosaic radar imagery currently shows a squall line across parts of central Georgia extending northeastward into far western South Carolina. The line is being supported by strong large-scale ascent associated with an approaching trough, and by forcing along a fast-moving cold front. Ahead of the line, instability is very weak, with surface dewpoints in the 50s F across western South Carolina and northeast Georgia. The latest WSR-88D VWP at Greenville/Spartanburg has about 85 knot of 0-6 km shear with 40 to 50 knots of south-southwesterly flow located just above the surface. An isolated wind-damage threat will be possible with the stronger cells within the line. Given the very strong low-level shear, meso-scale vorticies will be possible in the line with embedded cells that remain surface-based. However, forecast soundings in far western South Carolina have a sharp near surface temperature inversion, which should keep any severe threat isolated and localized. ..Broyles/Gleason.. 02/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Valid 161132Z - 161330Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 11, 12 continues. SUMMARY...Severe wind gusts and an isolated tornado threat will be possible as a squall line moves eastward across the remainder of Georgia this morning. Southern South Carolina will also be affected. Weather watch issuance may become necessary later this morning, to the east of the ongoing watches. DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery shows a squall line located in Georgia from Albany northeastward to about 50 statute miles west of Augusta. The line is located ahead of a fast-moving cold front. Surface dewpoints ahead of the line are mostly in the 60s F, with the RAP showing weak instability in place. In spite of this, the line has remained organized likely due to strong large-scale ascent associated with an approaching trough, and frontal forcing. Short-term model forecasts suggest the line will remain intact for several more hours this morning, as it approaches the Atlantic coast. The strong low to mid-level flow, evident on regional WSR-88D VWPs, will likely enable the line to produce severe gusts, especially with bowing segments that form within the line itself. Very strong low-level shear will also likely support an isolated tornado threat in the short-term. ..Broyles/Gleason.. 02/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
