000 WTPZ42 KNHC 251438 TCDEP2 Hurricane Kristy Discussion Number 16 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122024 800 AM PDT Fri Oct 25 2024 Southerly to southwesterly wind shear is starting to take its toll on Kristy as the system is losing organization. The eye has become cloud filled during the last several hours, with the convective pattern becoming more asymmetric. Deep convection continues to wrap within the eyewall, although a recent AMSR2 microwave pass depicts the inner core is starting to erode. Objective and subjective intensity estimates have been decreasing steadily this morning and range from 105-115 kt. Using a blend of these estimates, the initial intensity for this advisory is set to 110 kt. Kristy is moving toward the west-northwest with an estimated motion of 300/12 kt. The system will move more northwestward to north-northwestward for the next few days, steered along the southwestern periphery of a ridge located over the eastern Pacific. Towards the end of the period, as the system weakens and becomes a remnant low, Kristy's forward speed will also decrease with a turn toward the west-southwest within the low-level flow. The NHC forecast is very near the previous one with a slight nudge northward, towards the corrected and simple consensus track aids. The environment along the forecast path of Kristy is only becoming increasingly hostile. Vertical wind shear is forecast to continue to rise, with cooling sea-surface temperatures and drier mid-levels of the atmosphere. Thus, steady to rapid weakening is anticipated through the forecast period. Model simulated satellite data depicts that Kristy will struggle to produce convection late this weekend, becoming a post-tropical cyclone in 60 h, and dissipating into a trough by 96 h. The latest NHC intensity forecast follows these model trends.

Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0201 AM CDT Fri Oct 25 2024 Valid 261200Z - 271200Z ...NO CRITICAL AREAS... ...Synopsis... Strong ridging will dominate the CONUS D2/Saturday as the upper-level flow pattern amplifies. The prior cold front will continue eastward with trailing high pressure remaining over the central CONUS. Increasing flow aloft over the West will support the development of modest lee troughing and downslope flow over the Front Range, while offshore flow is expected over the Northeast. Local fire-weather concerns could develop, but are not expected to be widespread. ...Lee of the Rockies and High Plains... As the upper ridge shifts east, westerly flow will overspread the Rockies and High Plains beginning early Saturday. As a result, weak lee troughing should develop and encourage breezy winds across parts of the Front Range and the High Plains. While not overly strong, periodic 15-20 mph surface winds and downslope drying will support RH values as low as 20-25%. The occasional stronger winds may overlap with areas of receptive fuels supporting a few hours of locally elevated fire-weather conditions. However, with only sporadic winds and marginal RH, more widespread fire-weather concerns appear unlikely. ...Northeast... In the wake of the cold front moving offshore, a cooler, but still dry and breezy air mass may develop over parts of the Northeast Saturday. As the ridge shifts eastward, flow aloft will gradually become more northwesterly and intensify. This should support dry offshore flow over much of the East Coast. While RH values may not be overly low, a few hours of RH below 30% appear likely given the dry origins of the continental air mass. With little recent rainfall, area fuels are quite dry. A few hours of locally elevated fire-weather conditions are possible, despite marginal winds and RH. ..Lyons.. 10/25/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

000 WTPZ42 KNHC 241432 TCDEP2 Hurricane Kristy Discussion Number 12 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122024 800 AM PDT Thu Oct 24 2024 Kristy's satellite presentation has improved this morning as the eye has reappeared on infrared and visible imagery, with deep convection wrapping around the center. A recent AMSR2 microwave pass depicted that the system has completed an eyewall replacement cycle, with an inner core becoming re-established and contracting towards the center. Subjective Dvorak satellite intensity estimate data-T values have increased since the previous advisory with T6.5 from both TAFB and SAB. Given these intensity estimates and recent satellite images, the intensity is set to 130 kt for this advisory. The hurricane is moving westward at an estimated motion of 270/15 kt, being steered by a ridge located over the northeastern Pacific. Kristy will gradually round the southwestern portion of the ridge over the next day or so, with a turn to the northwest then north-northwest continuing through the weekend between the flow of the aforementioned ridge and a trough to the west. By the end of the weekend, Kristy is forecast to rapidly weaken with the remnants turning west-southwestward within the low-level steering flow. The NHC forecast was nudged slightly to the right of the previous forecast, closer to the simple consensus aids. Kristy is forecast to remain within a favorable environment for the next 24 hours or so, with warm sea surface temperatures and light vertical wind shear. The intensity forecast calls for some slight re-intensification during this time, although recent microwave imagery depicts that another eyewall replacement cycle could occur, which would cause some intensity fluctuations in the short term. Thereafter, the environment quickly becomes hostile with strong wind shear, drier air and cooler sea surface temperatures along the forecast track of Kristy. Guidance is in fairly good agreement that rapid weakening should occur through the end of the forecast period. Model simulated satellite imagery depicts that Kristy will begin to lose convection and become a post-tropical remnant low around 72 h, and depicts the system opening into a trough by 120 h. The NHC intensity forecast follows these trends, showing rapid weakening, and now has the remnant low status at 72h, and dissipation at 120 h.

No changes were necessary and please see the previous discussion for more details. ..Nauslar.. 10/23/2024 .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1148 PM CDT Tue Oct 22 2024/ ...Synopsis... Large-scale critical fire weather conditions are not anticipated on Wednesday. A surface high pressure will move across the central United States today in the wake of a departing mid-level shortwave. This will reinforce the dry airmass entrenched across the central U.S. However, slightly cooler temperatures, especially as you go farther north, will act to limit relative humidity from falling low enough to support critical fire weather conditions. Across the Northeast, gusty winds will develop ahead of an approaching cold front. Despite these strong, gusty winds (perhaps gusting up to 30 mph), relative humidity should remain sufficiently high (around 40%) to prevent the need for highlights. ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

000 WTPZ42 KNHC 231442 TCDEP2 Hurricane Kristy Discussion Number 8 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122024 800 AM MST Wed Oct 23 2024 The impressive rapid intensification of Kristy has continued this morning. The gradually warming eye of the hurricane is surrounded by a ring of very deep convection, with infrared cloud tops as cold as -75 to -80 deg C. GOES-West derived motion winds indicate good upper-level outflow, particularly over the southern and western portions of the circulation. Subjective Dvorak classifications were a consensus T5.5/102-kt from TAFB and SAB at 12 UTC. Satellite trends suggest Kristy has kept strengthening since that time, and the initial intensity is set at 110 kt, following the rising objective estimates from UW-CIMSS. The hurricane is moving quickly westward (265/17 kt) while being steered by a strong subtropical ridge to its north. This quick westward motion should continue for the next 24-36 h. Then, an upper-level trough between the Hawaiian Islands and the west coast of the United States is forecast to erode the western extent of the ridge. As a result, Kristy is expected to move toward the west-northwest and northwest late this week and into the weekend. A westward motion is shown by day 5, as it is anticipated that Kristy will become highly sheared and decoupled, with the vertically shallow vortex steered by the low-level ridge. No significant changes were made to the latest NHC track forecast. Kristy is a relatively small hurricane that remains susceptible to rapid intensity fluctuations in a weak shear environment over warm SSTs. The latest GFS and ECMWF SHIPS output shows a 50 to 60 percent chance of a 20-kt increase during the next 12 h, and the satellite trends suggest continued near-term strengthening is likely. The updated NHC forecast reflects these signals and lies above the intensity guidance in the near term, showing Kristy peaking as a category 4 hurricane on Thursday. By Friday, the aforementioned trough is expected to impart increased shear on the hurricane, which should induce weakening through the rest of the 5-day forecast period. With SHIPS-diagnosed shear values of 40-50 kt by the weekend, Kristy is forecast to quickly weaken over the weekend and degenerate to a post-tropical remnant low by 120 h.

000 WTPZ42 KNHC 222053 TCDEP2 Hurricane Kristy Discussion Number 5 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122024 200 PM MST Tue Oct 22 2024 Recent satellite and ASCAT data show Kristy has strengthened significantly over the last six hours. Satellite imagery shows persistent convection starting to wrap around a potential inner core, with high-level cirrus clouds beginning to clear out, revealing a developing eye. The ASCAT pass from 1618z showed a robust wind field, with a max wind retrieval of 53 kt. The subjective Dvorak intensity estimates also concur with these observations, with T3.5/55 kt from TAFB and T4.0/65 kt from SAB at 18 UTC. Given the improvement on satellite since that time, the initial intensity is now set at the upper-end of these estimates at 65 kt, making Kristy a hurricane. Kristy continues to move just north of due west this afternoon as it skirts along the periphery of a deep-layered subtropical ridge. Current motion is set at 275/16 kt and this westward motion should continue for the next couple of days. The cyclone will begin to track poleward starting this weekend around 60-72 hours as a mid-level trough impinges on the ridge. Uncertainty increases by that time given differences in the global models as to the evolution of the synoptic pattern. As such, the latest NHC track forecast remains close to the previous one over the next couple of days and is just a little to the south of the previous forecast track thereafter. The intensity forecast remains quite bullish, with rapid intensification expected within the next 12-24 hours as Kristy encounters a very favorable environment as indicated by the GFS- and ECMWF-SHIPS guidance. The latter aid also indicates a 40 percent chance of a 40 kt increase in intensity in 24 hours, nearly ten times the climatological average. The latest NHC forecast will explicitly show Kristy intensifying up to 100 kt major hurricane intensity in 24 h, with a peak intensity of 115 kt at 60 h. After 60-72 h, Kristy will encounter a more hostile environment, with increasing shear and cooler sea surface temperatures which will likely weaken the cyclone by the end of the forecast. Kristy is likely to become post-tropical in 120 h as it loses convective organization.

Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0346 PM CDT Tue Oct 22 2024 Valid 241200Z - 301200Z Fire weather concerns will remain low in the extended. High pressure will build in across the CONUS through the mid to late week, with occasional shortwave progression across the northern periphery bringing a more zonal westerly flow pattern across the Rockies. This may bring potential for breezy conditions across portions of the northern and central Plains, primarily on D3 - Thursday. A period of Elevated to Critical winds and relative humidity will be possible in the Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles. Recent rainfall has left fuels in this region less receptive to fire spread. Elsewhere, confidence in any areas of widespread relative humidity reductions overlapping winds remains limited at this time. A deeper trough may impact the CONUS late in the period D6 - Sunday into D7 - Monday bringing a potential increase in winds but also potential for cooler/wetter conditions. Areas across southern Arizona will remain dry and may see a period of Elevated to Critical fire weather conditions on D7 - Monday. This area may need highlights as confidence increases in the coming days. ..Thornton.. 10/22/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

A few storms may produce hail on Thursday from far northeast Kansas across northern Missouri and into southern Iowa. ...Synopsis and Discussion... On Thursday, a progressive upper trough will move from the central and northern Rockies into the Plains, as upper ridging briefly develops from the OH Valley into the Northeast. High pressure will be in place over much of the East in the wake of the previous days cold front, providing generally stable conditions there. In association with the Rockies/Plains trough, a cold front will push quickly southeastward across the northern and central Plains, extending roughly from MN into the TX Panhandle by 00Z. Modest boundary-layer moistening will occur with dewpoints in the low to mid 50s F as far north as southwest IA. As the cold front interacts with the narrow plume of instability, at least isolated surface-based storms are anticipated during the late afternoon, trending toward elevated through the evening, from northeast KS into northern MO and IA. Forecast soundings show steepening lapse rates aloft along with veering winds with height, suggesting a supercell, even if elevated, may occur, with hail risk. The favored zone for initiation will be the KS portion of the cold front where low-level lapse rates will be steepest. Overall, the main limiting factor for this event will be moisture quality as lift and shear will be favorable. ..Jewell.. 10/22/2024

000 WTPZ42 KNHC 220835 TCDEP2 Tropical Storm Kristy Discussion Number 3 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP122024 300 AM CST Tue Oct 22 2024 Satellite images indicate that Kristy has continued to gradually become better organized during the overnight hours. A convective burst has been occurring over the low-level center, an indication that a central core could be forming. The cyclone also has some impressive curved banding to the north and west, although these bands are a bit far from the center. A pair of ASCAT passes from 22/0346 UTC and 22/0441 UTC showed tropical storm force winds in the northern semi-circle, with vectors in the 35 to 38 kt range. Since the time of the ASCAT passes, Kristy's convection has become better organized, with latest subjective Dvorak intensity estimates from TAFB and SAB at a consensus T-3.0/45 kt. The initial intensity is nudged upward to 45 kt for this advisory. Kristy is estimated to be moving west-northwestward, or 285/13 kt. A strong subtropical ridge to the north of the cyclone will steer it westward for the next 3 days or so. Friday into the weekend, a turn to the west-northwest or northwest is expected as Kristy rounds the western periphery of the mid to upper-level ridge, and a mid-latitude upper-level trough approaches from the west. The track forecast is largely unchanged from the previous official forecast and lies in the middle of the guidance envelope. It should be noted that there is quite a bit of spread in the track guidance at days 4 and 5, so confidence in this part of the forecast is a bit below average. Environmental conditions are favorable for steady strengthening, and rapid intensification cannot be ruled out. For the next 72 h, Kristy will remain within an environment of warm ocean temperatures, relatively weak vertical wind shear, and a moist troposphere. Beyond 72 h, southerly or southwesterly vertical wind shear will begin to increase over the cyclone, becoming strong in 4 to 5 days. Kristy should also cross the 26C isotherm in about 4 days and move into a much more stable environment. Therefore, weakening should begin in 3 to 4 days, with the potential for rapid weakening in 4 to 5 days. The intensity forecast is largely unchanged from the previous prediction, which calls for Kristy to peak at 100 kt in a few days, and lies near the middle of the guidance envelope.

Day 2 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1219 PM CDT Mon Oct 21 2024 Valid 221200Z - 231200Z ...NO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM AREAS FORECAST... ...SUMMARY... No severe thunderstorms are forecast on Tuesday. ...Synopsis... A shortwave trough is forecast to be over western IA early Tuesday morning before continuing northeastward throughout the day across the Mid/Upper MS Valley and Upper Great Lakes and becoming absorbed in the stronger westerlies. Isolated to widely scattered elevated thunderstorms are possible Tuesday morning ahead of this wave across the Mid MS Valley. Buoyancy will be modest, which should temper updraft strength in most of these storms. However, relatively cool mid-level temperatures and enhanced mid-level flow could result in enough buoyancy and shear for a few instances of small hail. Another shortwave trough is expected to progress through the Canadian Prairies on Tuesday. This shortwave is expected to amplify considerably as it moves into far northwestern Ontario. By 12Z Wednesday, this shortwave is expected to extend from the Hudson Bay through western Ontario and the Upper Midwest. A surface low will precede this system, with an attendant cold front pushing southeastward across the Upper Midwest and Upper Great Lakes. Low-level moisture in the vicinity of this front will be minimal, but increasing mid-level moisture coupled with cold mid-level temperatures could still promote enough buoyancy for a few deeper updrafts capable of producing lightning from northern MN into far northern WI and western upper MI. Lastly, a thunderstorm or two appears possible across southern portions of far west TX/TX Big Bend vicinity Tuesday afternoon. Here, some airmass destabilization appears possible amid strong heating, and there could be just enough low-level convergence for convective initiation. Overall coverage in this area is currently expected to be less than 10%. ..Mosier.. 10/21/2024

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1105 AM CDT Mon Oct 21 2024 Valid 211630Z - 221200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING FROM CENTRAL KS INTO SOUTH CENTRAL NE... ...SUMMARY... A few severe thunderstorms with large hail are possible across central Kansas into south central Nebraska, mainly from mid afternoon to early evening. ...Central Plains... A compact upper low over eastern CO will track eastward today into the central Plains. As this occurs, an associated surface Pacific cold front / dryline will sweep eastward across KS/northwest OK. The air mass ahead of the front will be moderately moist with dewpoints in the 50s to near 60 F, along with at least pockets of considerable daytime heating. This will lead to a corridor of potential convective initiation during the peak-heating hours. Most CAM solutions suggest 2-3 mesoscale zones along the boundary where robust storms may form. One is near the weak surface low in southern NE where a few low-topped supercells capable of large hail and perhaps a tornado are possible. Another is in the area of strongest diurnal CAPE in southern KS where hail should be the main concern. The final one is much lower confidence over southwest OK, where only a small minority of CAMs initiate convection. Also expanded marginal wind probabilities northeastward into eastern NE and northeast KS. CAPE will be very limited in this region, but strong insolation will produce steep low-level lapse rates as convection arrives from the west around peak-heating. This might be sufficient for gusty winds in the stronger cells. ..Hart/Gleason.. 10/21/2024

Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0800 AM CDT Mon Oct 21 2024 Valid 241200Z - 291200Z ...DISCUSSION... A mid-level trough will cross the central and eastern CONUS on D4/Thursday and D5/Friday with a surface front advancing east through the period. Moisture will remain limited ahead of this front and thus, severe weather is not expected. In the wake of this front, high pressure will build into the Midwest on D6/Saturday and move into the Mid-Atlantic by D7/Sunday. This will result in tranquil weather through the weekend. Extended range guidance does suggest the potential for some return moisture flow by early next week, but there is considerable uncertainty in the upper-level pattern and any potential severe weather threat would likely be after Monday/D8.

Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0756 PM CDT Sat Oct 19 2024 Valid 200100Z - 201200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN NEW MEXICO AND PARTS OF WEST TEXAS... ...SUMMARY... Large hail, severe gusts and some tornado threat remain possible across eastern New Mexico and portions of far West Texas this evening. ...01z Update... Strongest 500mb flow appears to be translating through the base of the trough into western NM early this evening. This speed max will advance into northern NM by the end of the period which will allow the upper low to begin ejecting northeast toward the Four Corners. Even so, negligible height changes will be noted across eastern NM/West TX during the overnight hours. Scattered-numerous thunderstorms have developed ahead of this upper feature with a broken band of strong/severe convection currently extending from near El Paso, northeast into Harding County NM, southwest of Clayton. Several supercells have developed along this corridor which are likely producing hail at/near severe levels, especially Chaves County. 00z soundings from both AMA and MAF exhibited substantial capping in the 700-750mb layer, though mid-level lapse rates are steep. A bit west, uncapped profiles are noted at EPZ and ABQ with strong deep-layer shear evident. Thunderstorms should continue to develop along the leading edge of upper trough/influence where inhibition is weak. Organized structures remain possible and large hail is the primary risk, though gusts and perhaps a tornado or two can not be ruled out this evening. ..Darrow.. 10/20/2024
