    Day 1 Fire Weather Outlook  
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    1022 AM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024
    
    Valid 191700Z - 201200Z
    
    ...NO CRITICAL AREAS...
    
    The previous forecast (see below) remains on track, with no changes
    or additions made.
    
    ..Squitieri.. 04/19/2024
    
    .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0123 AM CDT Fri Apr 19 2024/
    
    ...Synopsis...
    A weak/low-amplitude southern-stream trough will track eastward
    across the Southwest, encouraging breezy/gusty southwesterly winds
    amid a dry/deeply mixed boundary layer across the region. While
    elevated meteorological conditions are likely across portions of
    eastern AZ and western NM during the afternoon, marginal fuels
    should keep the fire-weather threat fairly localized -- precluding
    highlights at this time. Elsewhere across the CONUS, a limited
    overlap of warm/dry/breezy conditions will limit fire-weather
    concerns.

  2. Day 4-8 Outlook

    Day 4-8 Convective Outlook  
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0306 AM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024
    
    Valid 211200Z - 261200Z
    
    ...DISCUSSION...
    For much of the extended period, a deep upper low and expansive
    trough will exist over eastern Canada, with moderate northwest flow
    across the central and eastern CONUS with various embedded waves. A
    cold front will be located roughly along the Gulf Coast on
    Sunday/D4, with areas of rain and thunderstorms from eastern TX
    toward the northern Gulf Coast and across northern FL. High pressure
    will keep the quality low-level moisture primarily offshore, but
    return flow into the southern Plains is forecast from around
    Wednesday/D7 and beyond as a potential upper trough develops over
    the western CONUS. As such, low severe potential is forecast for
    most of the D4-8 period, with perhaps increasing potential by D8 or
    beyond as the large northeastern trough dwindles.

  3. MD 0462 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR CENTRAL AND EASTERN ARKANSAS

    Mesoscale Discussion 0462
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0316 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024
    
    Areas affected...central and eastern Arkansas
    
    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 
    
    Valid 162016Z - 162145Z
    
    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
    
    SUMMARY...Isolated large hail is possible this afternoon/evening.
    
    DISCUSSION...A plume of rich low-level moisture has advected across
    eastern Texas, Louisiana and into southern Arkansas. Weak isentropic
    ascent has been sufficient for storm development on the leading edge
    of this moist plume. Effective shear of 50 to 55 knots and will be
    proficient for organized storms, including supercells. However, warm
    mid-level temperatures and weak ascent will be the primary limiting
    factor to a greater threat. Therefore, a few stronger storms may
    develop with a threat for large hail, but this threat is expected to
    remain too isolated to warrant a watch.

  4. MD 0464 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN/CENTRAL IL
    MD 0464 Image
    
    Mesoscale Discussion 0464
    NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
    0340 PM CDT Tue Apr 16 2024
    
    Areas affected...portions of northern/central IL
    
    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 
    
    Valid 162040Z - 162215Z
    
    Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
    
    SUMMARY...Severe potential may slowly increase over the next few
    hours into parts of northern and central Illinois. A watch may be
    needed at some point late this afternoon, but timing remains
    uncertain.
    
    DISCUSSION...A band of storms continues to lift northeast across
    eastern IA into western IL this afternoon. Much of the convection is
    somewhat disorganized in a messy storm mode. Downstream into
    northern/central IL, some modest increase in boundary-layer moisture
    still may occur as a warm front lifts north. While strong heating
    has occurred, some weak inhibition remains over parts of the area.
    Nevertheless, modest boundary-layer moisture beneath midlevel lapse
    rates around 7 C/km are supporting weak instability (MLCAPE 1000
    J/kg or less). The initial band of convection moving toward the MCD
    area may largely remain unproductive. However, as large-scale ascent
    increasing toward evening, a secondary band of convection may move
    into the area and post more of a severe risk. Given the somewhat
    limited thermodynamic environment (despite favorable vertical
    shear), severe potential may only gradually increase toward evening.
    The area will be monitored for potential watch issuance, but timing
    is uncertain.
