000 WTPZ42 KNHC 260836 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Bud Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022024 200 AM PDT Fri Jul 26 2024 Bud is currently only generating isolated patches of deep convection to the south and southwest of the center. The various subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates have continued to decrease and are now in the 30-40 kt range. Using these data, the initial intensity is lowered to a somewhat uncertain 35 kt. The initial motion is now 285/9 kt. Bud is on the south side of a low- to mid-level subtropical ridge, and this feature should steer the cyclone generally westward today. After that, Bud or its remnants should turn west-southwestward in the low-level trade wind flow. The guidance again has nudged to the north of the previous guidance, and the new forecast track is thus also nudged northward. While it is possible there could be one more convective flare-up this morning, all of the guidance indicates that Bud should continue to weaken due to moving over cooler sea surface temperatures and into a more stable air mass. Based on this, the new intensity forecast calls for Bud to weaken to a depression later today and degenerate to a remnant low pressure area by 24 h. The remnant low is forecast to dissipated between 60-72 h based on the global model guidance.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0158 AM CDT Fri Jul 26 2024 Valid 271200Z - 281200Z ...Synopsis... As a mid-level trough progresses eastward from California into the northern Great Basin on Saturday, isolated dry thunderstorms are expected across portions of eastern Idaho, southwestern Montana, western Wyoming, and portions of far northern Utah. This trough is also expected to bring dry and windy conditions to much of southern Nevada into southwestern Utah. ...Dry Thunder... An approaching trough from California is expected to bring chances for isolated dry thunderstorms to portions of Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Utah. Recent wetting rainfall could potentially limit some lightning ignitions, but pockets of receptive fuels still remain across much of the highlight area. Dry boundary-layer profiles will support gusty thunderstorm outflow that could contribute to wildfire spread with any lightning based ignitions. ...Southern Great Basin... Relative humidity of 5-10% and wind speeds of 25-30 MPH are expected across southern Nevada into southwestern Utah, exceeding the meteorological criteria for critical conditions. However, there is uncertainty in the receptiveness of fuels to wildfire spread due to recent significant wetting rainfall, precluding the inclusion of critical highlights at this time. ..Halbert/Weinman.. 07/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

000 WTPZ42 KNHC 251432 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Bud Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022024 800 AM PDT Thu Jul 25 2024 Since the time of the special advisory issued earlier this morning, the organization of Bud on satellite imagery has not changed much. The moderate easterly shear that had been affecting the cyclone appears to have diminished slightly. This has allowed the low-level center to be located underneath the central convective area. The latest subjective intensity estimate from TAFB is 45 kt, while some of the University of Wisconsin-CIMSS objective estimates have also been around 45 kt. Given the 49-kt surface observation from Isla Clarion at 0930 UTC this morning, the initial intensity is held at 50 kt for this advisory. There have not been any significant changes to the general synoptic steering pattern. A low- to mid-level ridge located to the north of Bud will steer the cyclone generally westward at a similar forward speed for the next 24 h. As the cyclone weakens and becomes shallower, it should turn towards the west-southwest and decelerate. The guidance has shifted notably north and faster with this cycle. The new NHC track forecast is adjusted about midway between the previous NHC forecast and the latest consensus track aids. As for the intensity forecast, Bud should be traversing sea-surface temperatures of around 26.5-27C over the next day or two, which is slightly cooler than the 28C waters that Bud is over currently. The vertical wind shear should be relatively low over the next couple of days. Bud will be gradually moving into a slightly drier airmass. The latest dynamical and hurricane intensity models weaken Bud more quickly than the statistical intensity guidance, and the NHC forecast splits the difference and is close to the intensity consensus. This new NHC intensity forecast is higher than the previous one and keeps Bud a tropical storm a bit longer. Given that the global models show Bud becoming a remnant low rather quickly despite relatively favorable environmental conditions, the intensity forecast confidence is a bit lower than average during the first 48 h of the forecast. After that time, confidence is higher that the cyclone will be significantly weakening.

Valid 242231Z - 250000Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 559 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across WW 559, primarily for severe wind gusts from thunderstorm outflow. DISCUSSION...The severe thunderstorm threat continues for WW 559 across southern Arizona, where daytime heating has resulted in surface temperatures rising into the 110s F. With surface dewpoints in the lower-to-mid 60s F, MLCAPE values of 1000-1500 J/kg across southwest portions of the watch area will continue to support thunderstorm development in the short term. Proximity sounding profiles show deeply mixed boundary layers with large saturation deficits, and very-weak to weak deep layer shear, supporting the threat for severe wind gusts from thunderstorm outflow. The greatest short-term threat for severe wind gusts is currently confined to southern portions of the watch, where buoyancy is maximized and thunderstorms are ongoing. This threat will continue as storms move southwest towards the Mexican border, but should diminish after dark. ..Halbert/Lyons.. 07/24/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0341 PM CDT Wed Jul 24 2024 Valid 261200Z - 011200Z Fire weather concerns will focus in parts of the Great Basin and northern Rockies late this week into the weekend. Thereafter, fire weather concerns will become more localized given an amplifying upper ridge in part of the western/central U.S. and a benign surface pattern where fuels remain driest. ...Wind/RH Concerns... While the main shortwave trough will exit Montana into the Canadian Prairie, some moderately strong mid-level winds will linger across Montana and Idaho. Farther south, the compact tropical disturbance will move into the Great Basin. A few locations may see elevated fire weather on Friday. The highest confidence is in Northeast California into adjacent Nevada/Oregon as well as the Snake River Plain and parts of northwest Montana. On Saturday, the shortwave trough in the Great Basin will be losing amplitude, but a enhanced mid-level winds will remain in the southern Basin. Strong surface winds are possible during the afternoon. Some area fuels will have been impacted by several days of convection. However, latest ERC data suggest there are still dry enough fuels to support fire spread. When coupled with the recent lightning activity, some potential for holdover fires to increase in activity is possible with the stronger winds/low RH expected. For Sunday and beyond, the upper-level pattern will feature a building ridge centered along the Divide. Dry conditions are probable in many places within the West, but winds will generally be lighter outside of terrain/mesoscale-enhanced areas. Predictability of critical fire weather is too low for any highlights. ...Dry Thunderstorms... With the approach of the weak disturbance, a few drier thunderstorms are possible in parts of central/northern Nevada on Friday. These storms will generally occur over areas that have had fuel receptiveness decrease recently. Thunderstorm activity will shift into eastern Idaho into western Wyoming on Saturday and possibly Sunday. Fuels are drier in these areas, but moisture may be too limited and storm coverage is somewhat in question this far in advance. With some very broad troughing over the Northwest, some isolated thunderstorms could occur over some of the terrain features. Coverage is likely too low for highlights and fuels may moderate somewhat due to the cooler conditions under the influence of the upper trough. ..Wendt.. 07/24/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

000 WTPZ42 KNHC 242033 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Bud Discussion Number 1 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP022024 200 PM MST Wed Jul 24 2024 Satellite imagery indicates that the disturbance located several hundred miles south-southwest of the southern tip of the Baja California peninsula has become much better organized over the past 12 hours or so. The latest subjective Dvorak intensity estimate from TAFB is T-2.0/30 kt, and a pair of recent ASCAT passes shows a well-defined cyclone with 35-kt winds. Based on the ASCAT data and the improvement in convective organization observed on GOES-18 satellite images, advisories are being initiated on Tropical Storm Bud. Bud is currently moving to the west-northwest at 14 kt. A mid-level ridge to the north of Bud will cause a gradual turn to the west over the next day. On Friday, with Bud likely weakening, the cyclone should turn to the southwest and decelerate, following the low-level flow. Bud is currently in an environment that appears favorable in terms of warm SSTs and a moderately moist environment, but there appears to be some easterly shear affecting the cyclone. Therefore, no change in strength is expected during the next day or so, although some slight intensification cannot be ruled out. Beyond 36 h, the cyclone should begin traversing decreasing sea surface temperatures, and move into an environment of drier air and increasing vertical wind shear. Therefore, gradual weakening is forecast during that time. The intensity forecast is near the middle of the guidance envelope and calls for the cyclone to become a remnant low on Friday, and dissipate on Saturday.

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0257 PM CDT Wed Jul 24 2024 Valid 242000Z - 251200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR WESTERN/CENTRAL NY INTO NORTHWESTERN PA...AND SOUTHERN ARIZONA... ...SUMMARY... Strong to severe thunderstorms may produce damaging wind gusts across western/central New York and vicinity, the northern Rockies, and across southern Arizona this afternoon/evening. ...20z Update... The current D1 Outlook remains on track with no changes needed with this update. Several clusters of thunderstorms are ongoing along a cold front extending from the Great Lakes region northeastward into portions of New York. In this region, daytime heating has yielded around 1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE with 30-40 kts of deep layer shear. In this regime, some more organized cells have produced wind damage across portions of New York and Pennsylvania. The threat for strong to severe gusts will continue through the afternoon and evening, shifting eastward with the front. Farther west, two areas of potential continue with a Marginal Risk across the Northern Rockies and a Slight Risk across southern Arizona. Within these regions, damaging wind will be possible with thunderstorm activity this afternoon. See MCD #1701 for more information on the threat across southern Arizona. ..Thornton/Thompson.. 07/24/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1128 AM CDT Wed Jul 24 2024/ ...Western/central NY and northwest PA this afternoon/evening... A midlevel trough will progress eastward from the upper Great Lakes toward NY as an associated surface cold front likewise moves eastward into western NY and southeastward into OH/northwest PA through this evening. Surface heating is underway in a corridor ahead of the cold front from northern OH into western NY where boundary-layer dewpoints are in the mid-upper 60s with surface temperatures warming into the lower 80s, and a band of convection has already developed from Lake Erie to western Lake Ontario. These storms may persist into the afternoon while spreading eastward, with additional development possible along convective outflow, a pre-frontal confluence zone and/or local lake breeze boundaries. Midlevel lapse rates will remain modest (roughly 6.5 C/km), but the low-level moisture/warming temperatures will drive MLCAPE in the 1000-1500 J/kg range. Deep-layer vertical shear/hodograph length will be on the lower margins for organized clusters/cells per local VWPs now sampling 30-40 kt midlevel flow, while steepening low-level lapse rates will support the potential for occasional wind damage with strong thunderstorm outflow in the 50-60 mph range. ...Southern AZ this afternoon/evening... Strong surface heating is underway near and south of the Rim, and late afternoon temperatures will peak near or above 110 F across the lower deserts into southern AZ. Moisture will be sufficient for thunderstorm development this afternoon along the Rim and the mountains in southeast AZ, while northeasterly midlevel flow of 15-20 kt will steer outflows southwestward toward the lower deserts. MLCAPE will increase to the 1000-1500 J/kg with deep inverted-V profiles favoring strong downdrafts and outflow winds of 60-75 mph capable of producing wind damage and substantial blowing dust. The relatively greater severe threat will be with the stronger/deeper convection driven by outflow mergers. ...Northern Rockies area this afternoon/evening... A plume of mainly midlevel moisture with PW values of 0.75-1 inch (per BOI and LKN 12z soundings) will persist around the northern periphery of a midlevel high over the Great Basin, and southeast of a midlevel trough approaching WA. High-based thunderstorms are expected in a few loosely organized clusters within this plume, where deep inverted-V profiles will support the potential for a few strong-severe outflow gusts 50-65 mph. ...Mid-Atlantic into NC this afternoon... Modest surface heating within small cloud breaks and boundary-layer dewpoints of 72-74 F will contribute MLCAPE approaching 1500 J/kg to the east of the Blue Ridge, though midlevel lapse rates will remain poor. Still, the southern extent of 30-40 kt midlevel flow will support a low-end wind damage threat with the stronger storm clusters this afternoon.
