MD 1330 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR EASTERN KENTUCKY INTO WESTERN PARTS OF WEST VIRGINIA AND VIRGINIA

Mesoscale Discussion 1330
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1259 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

Areas affected...eastern Kentucky into western parts of West
Virginia and Virginia

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 261759Z - 262000Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...The potential for a few damaging wind gusts is expected to
increase this evening. Limited areal coverage and magnitude of
threat are expected to preclude a watch issuance.

DISCUSSION...Ahead of a well-defined MCV, a line of showers and
thunderstorms has recently intensified in the vicinity of I-75, near
Richmond. Daytime heating within the downstream air mass is
contributing to destabilization with steep low-level lapse rates and
MLCAPE of around 1000 J/kg evident in latest objective analysis. As
such, expect the ongoing storms to further intensify while moving
through eastern KY, potentially into western parts of WV and VA this
afternoon. While relatively weak wind fields and resultant vertical
shear are expected to limit the potential for an organized cold pool
to evolve, locally damaging downburst winds appear possible given
the presence of the steep low-level lapse rates.

The anticipated areal coverage and magnitude of the damaging wind
threat are currently expected to remain too marginal for a watch
issuance.

Mesoscale Discussion 1331
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0138 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

Areas affected...southeast Kansas...northeast Oklahoma...and
southwest Missouri

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 261838Z - 262045Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Severe weather potential is expected to increase across
the area this afternoon. Large hail up to 1.5-1.75" and severe wind
gusts of 60-65 mph appear to be the primary hazards. Convective
trends are being monitored for a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.

DISCUSSION...Recent trends in visible satellite indicate deepening
cumulus along an outflow boundary from near the Arkansas City to
Independence, KS vicinities into southwest MO, north of Joplin. The
air mass to the south of the boundary has warmed into the 80s,
which, coupled with dewpoints in the low to mid 70s is resulting in
MLCAPE of 1500-2500+ J/kg, per latest objective analysis.
Large-scale forcing for ascent remains somewhat nebulous with the
movement of several MCVs to the east of the region and no apparent
upstream disturbances in water vapor imagery. Nonetheless, the
presence of modest low-level warm advection observed by the KSGF VWP
may be sufficient to support eventual storm development in the
vicinity of the outflow boundary.

Area VWPs and forecast soundings suggest deep-layer shear will be on
the margins of that supportive of supercell storm modes. That,
coupled with only modestly steep mid-level lapse rates, should limit
hail size to 1.5-1.75". Damaging wind potential may ultimately be of
greater concern owing to the very moist environment and potential
for water-loaded downdrafts. A brief tornado is possible given
sizable 0-3 km CAPE and ambient vorticity in the vicinity of the
boundary. Otherwise, generally modest low-level shear should limit
the overall tornado potential.

Convective trends are being monitored for the potential issuance of
a Severe Thunderstorm Watch.

Mesoscale Discussion 1332
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0158 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

Areas affected...portions of the coastal Carolinas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 261858Z - 262130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...A damaging gust or two is possible this afternoon across
portions of the coastal Carolinas. A watch is not anticipated.

DISCUSSION...A seasonably moist air mass is in place across portions
of the eastern Carolinas, where convective temperatures have been
reached, resulting in scattered thunderstorms ongoing this
afternoon. The KLTX VWP shows generally weak flow, which correlates
with the single- and multicell modes apparent on radar. Due to the
high precipitable water values (>2 in) in place across the region,
water loading in downdrafts may be enough for some damaging gusts
across the region. Additionally, storms may cluster with time, and
this may slightly increase the threat for damaging gusts. However,
this threat is still expected to be fairly sporadic, and therefore a
watch is not expected at this time.

Mesoscale Discussion 1333
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0237 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

Areas affected...central Virginia into the Delmarva

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 261937Z - 262130Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...The potential for locally damaging wind gusts is expected
to increase across the discussion area this afternoon into early
evening. The areal coverage and magnitude of the threat are expected
to remain too limited for a watch consideration.

DISCUSSION...Recent radar trends indicate gradually strengthening
storms along the Blue Ridge Mountains in northern VA with additional
storms noted in southeast WV. East of the high terrain, a relatively
warm and moist air mass is present with steep low-level lapse rates
and MLCAPE of around 1000 J/kg indicated in latest objective
analyses. The presence of a westerly, deep-layer wind field should
support the eastward movement of storms across the discussion area
with the absence of appreciable forcing for ascent potentially
limiting overall storm coverage.

The KRLX and KLWX VWPs indicate 30-35 kt winds above 5 km, which are
boosting vertical shear generally along and north of that latitude.
That modest shear enhancement may contribute to some briefly
organized storms capable of locally damaging wind gusts. Relatively
warm mid-level temperatures and resultant poor lapse rates should
limit large hail potential.

Given the expected isolated nature of the threat, a watch is not
anticipated.

0230 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

Valid 271200Z - 281200Z

...EXTREMELY CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN
COLORADO AND EASTERN UTAH INTO THE FOUR CORNERS REGION...
...CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER AREA FOR MUCH OF NEVADA...NORTHERN
ARIZONA...NORTHWESTERN NEW MEXICO...CENTRAL/SOUTHERN UTAH...SOUTHERN
WYOMING...AND WESTERN COLORADO...

***Dangerous fire weather conditions are expected on Day 2/Saturday
across the Four Corners into portions of the Colorado Plateau***

...Afternoon Update...
An Extremely Critical risk area was introduced where guidance
depicts an overlap of sustained 25-35 mph southwesterly winds and
less than 10% RH on Day 2/Saturday. Despite some recent rainfall
across the West Slope, appreciable precipitation was not common, and
rather quite localized. Widespread 80-95th percentile ERCs and
recently receptive fuels will be conducive to rapid spread/fire
growth on existing wildfires and any new ignitions. Furthermore,
isolated dry thunderstorms on Day 1/Friday present additional
concerns for potential lightning holdovers to emerge as several days
of hot, dry and windy conditions ensue. An extended burning period
is expected (10+ hours for some locations) with poor overnight
humidity recoveries and residual gusty winds leading into another
day of critical fire weather conditions (see the Day 3-8 Fire
Weather Outlook). 

The rest of the forecast remains on track, see the previous
discussion for more information.

..Elizalde-Garcia.. 06/26/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0302 AM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026/

...Synopsis...
A seasonably strong mid-level trough will continue to dig into the
western CONUS on D2/Saturday, with an attendant mid-level jet
overspreading much of the Upper Colorado River Basin. This will
continue to support a robust fire weather pattern across an
expansive portion of the Great Basin and Southwest through the
weekend.

...Great Basin/Southwest...
As the mid-level jet associated with the digging mid-level trough
shifts eastward into the Upper Colorado River Valley, a corridor of
stronger, sustained surface winds (25-30 mph) will expand from
southeastern Nevada into the Colorado Plateau and overlap with very
low RH values of 10-15%. Exacerbated by dry, windy conditions on
D1/Friday, fuels will be very receptive, with ERCs already noted in
the 80-90+ percentiles. These conditions will promote an extended
period of critical fire weather conditions from southeastern Nevada
into the Upper Colorado River Basin and southern Wyoming. Localized
extremely critical wind/RH conditions are possible, particularly
across southeastern Utah and perhaps into southwestern Colorado
where latest high-res guidance suggests that the best overlap of
sustained southwesterly winds approaching 30 mph and very low RH
near 10% may occur. Pockets of fuels in this region are also noted
to be at or above the 95th percentile. A broader area of elevated
wind/RH conditions are expected across adjacent areas of the Great
Basin/Southwest where sustained winds of 15-25 mph are forecast to
overlap dry fuels and RH values of 10-20%.

The primary change with this outlook was to expand the Critical
highlights into north central Colorado based on the latest high-res
guidance. Consideration was given to the addition of a targeted
Extremely Critical area; however, some uncertainty remains regarding
the duration of overlap between sustained winds exceeding 30 mph and
RH values dropping below 10%. A portion of the Elevated highlights
were also trimmed across central Wyoming and the foothills of
northern Colorado owing to recent rainfall.

Day 3 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0216 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

Valid 281200Z - 291200Z

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
NORTH DAKOTA AND THE UPPER MIDWEST...

...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms are possible from the northern Plains into
parts of the Upper Midwest on Sunday. Large hail and severe winds
are the primary hazards.

...Synopsis...

The western U.S. upper trough will deepen and persist over that
region on Sunday. Meanwhile, upper ridging will intensify over the
Midwest into the South, while a shortwave upper trough moves from
the Ohio Valley to the southern Mid-Atlantic region. At the surface,
some uncertainty persists with regards to the location of lee
surface low development in the central or northern Plains. The NAM
appears to be an outlier compared to the ECMWF/GFS and the AI
versions thereof. This will be important for where the best corridor
of severe thunderstorm potential develops on Sunday
afternoon/evening. Further east, a surface front will sag southward
across the Upper OH Valley and portions of the Mid-Atlantic. Between
these surface boundaries, a seasonally very moist airmass will exist
across at least eastern portions of the Plains to the MS Valley and
the southern Mid-Atlantic.

...Northern Plains/Upper Midwest vicinity...

The forecast for Sunday is highly uncertain. Forecast guidance
suggests a shortwave impulse and/or MCV will move across northern MN
during the afternoon/evening. This area will be beneath the upper
ridge axis and could be capped. However, a very moist airmass will
be in place beneath steep midlevel lapse rates. Furthermore, a
strong southerly low-level jet is expected to focus from the central
Plains to the Upper MS Valley during the evening/nighttime hours. If
storms can develop and become near-surface based, potential for
damaging wind gusts and large hail will be possible. This scenario
is generally supported by the RRFS and GSL MPAS, though
location/timing varies. 

Forecast guidance develops additional areas of convection across
portions of western NE/central SD into ND on the western periphery
of stronger capping and near the surface trough/dryline within the
gradient of stronger instability. This scenario is uncertain, both
regarding storm development, and if storms occur, whether or not
they will be surface-based. However, if storms do develop, an
intense low-level jet within the strongly unstable airmass during
the evening/overnight hours could support damaging wind potential.
The Marginal risk (level 1 of 5) has been adjusted to reflect this
conditional risk. 

...Southern Mid-Atlantic...

Forecast guidance suggests an MCV will move across the central
Appalachians into parts of VA/NC on Sunday. Deep-layer flow is not
expected to be particularly strong, but this feature could locally
enhanced vertical shear, with some guidance showing effective shear
magnitudes up to 25 kt are possible. A seasonally very moist airmass
will reside east of the higher terrain across southeast VA into the
eastern Carolinas, supporting moderate destabilization as strong
daytime heating occurs. Thunderstorms will pose an isolated damaging
wind risk into early evening.

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1242 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

Valid 271200Z - 281200Z

...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS
OF THE NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS...

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST
VA AND EASTERN NC...

...SUMMARY...
Severe storms are likely across portions of eastern Montana and
western/central North Dakota on Saturday. Severe storms will also be
possible from the Mid-Mississippi Valley to Virginia and the
Carolinas, as well as portions of the southern High Plains.

...Synopsis...

An upper low and attendant large-scale upper trough will persist
across the western U.S. on Saturday. Further east, upper ridging
over the Plains is forecast to shift east toward the Upper Midwest
and Mid-MS Valley by Sunday morning. Quasi-zonal/weak upper
troughing is expected to persist across the eastern U.S. Within this
large-scale regime, several shortwave impulses and embedded MCVs are
expected to drive severe thunderstorm potential across multiple
areas on Saturday. A lead upper shortwave trough is expected to
eject from the eastern Great Basin through the northern High Plains.
A series of MCVs will move from the Ozark Plateau to the OH/TN
Valleys, while another MCV and/or surface trough impacts
thunderstorm potential across the Mid-Atlantic/Piedmont. Finally,
another upper shortwave impulse could emerge across the central
Plains into the Mid-MO/Mid-MS Valleys. 

...Northern Rockies into the Northern Plains...

A midlevel jet streak will overspread parts of the Great Basin into
the northern Plains, characterized by 50-60 kt southwesterly 500 mb
flow. Cooling aloft is also forecast and will result in a plume of
steep midlevel lapse rates. Surface low pressure is forecast to
deepen across northeast WY/western SD through evening. This will
support northward transport of low to mid 60s F dewpoints into
eastern MT/ND/SD. This will result in a narrow corridor of moderate
to strong instability. Capping will increase with eastward extent as
a result of midlevel height rises/warming aloft, which should
confine the eastward extent of severe potential. 

As large-scale ascent increasing during the afternoon, convection is
expected to develop across the higher terrain of northern UT/ID into
WY. This initial activity will pose a risk for strong wind gusts and
isolated hail given strong deep-layer flow, steep midlevel lapse
rates, and a well mixed boundary layer. Additional convection is
expected to develop near the Big Horns and Beartooth/Absaroka
ranges. As this activity develops northeast into better low-level
moisture and strong instability, large to very large hail potential
will increase. With time during the evening, a southerly low-level
jet will increase across the Dakotas. Upscale growth is possible as
convection moves toward the terminus of the low-level jet and as
sufficient clustering/cold pool development occurs. If this
convective evolution unfolds, a swath of damaging wind gusts will be
possible, mainly across eastern MT into western ND.

...Mid-Atlantic...

Ongoing convection and cloudiness will likely hinder daytime
destabilization. Nevertheless, several shortwave impulses will move
across the region along with 25-30 kt westerly midlevel flow.
Isolated strong storms may produce gusty winds. The Slight risk
(level 2 of 5) has been confined to areas nearer the coast where
instability will be greatest. 

...Southern High Plains...

A surface trough/dryline will extend south/southwest from western KS
to southwest TX. A moist airmass will exist east of this boundary
with hot temperatures forecast along and just behind the boundary.
Moderate to strong destabilization will occur near the boundary in a
narrow corridor, confined by stronger capping to the east across
much of OK/KS/central TX. However, isolated to widely scattered
storms are expected to develop during peak heating to early evening.
Vertically veering wind profiles with up to 25 kt effective shear
magnitudes suggest organized updrafts and high-based transient
supercell structures are possible. Given a deeply mixed boundary
layer, strong gusts will be possible. Organized updrafts that can be
maintained also will pose a risk of large hail given very steep
midlevel lapse rates and somewhat elongated hodographs.

...Ozarks to TN Valley vicinity...

Storms are forecast to be ongoing Saturday morning across southwest
MO. This activity could pose a marginal wind/hail risk initially.
Additional development is expected from southern IL/southeast MO
into KY/TN by late morning and spread east through the afternoon as
an MCV moves across the region. While deep layer flow will not be
impressive, the MCV could locally enhanced vertical shear.
Thunderstorm clusters will mainly pose a risk for damaging winds as
they track across moisture-rich and moderately unstable airmass.

...Northeast CO/Western NE into central SD...

Convection may develop during the late afternoon along the surface
trough/dryline. Rich boundary layer moisture beneath steep lapse
rates will support strong destabilization. This corridor will remain
rather confined given rising midlevel heights and capping to the
east. Any storms that develop will have potential for strong outflow
gusts and large hail. 

...Mid-MO Valley vicinity...

It is uncertain if convection will develop across this area, or if
it does - will it be surface-based, resulting in a rather
conditional severe risk. If storms can develop, an all-hazards
severe risk would be possible given a surface warm front lifting
north across the region amid ample moisture/instability and
supercell wind profiles. Given the conditional nature of the risk,
particularly due to capping, will maintain low severe probabilities.

NEVADA...NORTHERN ARIZONA...SOUTHWESTERN WYOMING...AND FAR WESTERN
COLORADO...

***Dangerous fire weather conditions are expected today across
portions of the Great Basin and Southwest***

...Northwestern Arizona and far southeastern Nevada into central
Utah...
The forecast remains on track for hazardous weather conditions
conducive to rapid spread/fire growth on existing wildfires and new
ignitions. Surface observations already depict expansive
single-digit RH values with wind gusts exceeding 30 mph. ERCs are at
or above the 90th percentile, and fuels have proven to be receptive
as several large wildfires (reported to have extreme fire behavior)
are ongoing across the region. At peak heating, sustained
southwesterly surface winds will increase to 25-35 mph amid 5-12% RH
values. An extended burning period is expected (10+ hours for some
locations), as poor overnight humidity recoveries and residual gusty
winds will lead into a second day of dangerous fire weather
conditions (see the Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook).

See the previous discussion for more information.

..Elizalde-Garcia.. 06/26/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0300 AM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026/

...Synopsis...
Dangerous fire weather conditions are forecast across portions of
the Great Basin and Southwest today as a robust fire weather pattern
begins for an expansive portion of the Intermountain West. This
pattern will bring exceptionally dry and windy conditions following
antecedent dry thunderstorm activity over the past 1-2 days,
resulting in significant fire weather concerns for any new
ignitions, lingering holdovers, and ongoing large fires across the
western CONUS.

...Northwestern Arizona and far southeastern Nevada into central
Utah...
A seasonably strong mid-level trough will dig into the western CONUS
today, with an attendant mid-level jet overspreading portions of the
Great Basin as upper-level ridging amplifies over the Great Plains.
This will promote a deepening surface cyclone over the northern
Great Basin, which will subsequently support a strong surface
pressure gradient across much of the Intermountain West when
combined with surface high pressure over New Mexico. Latest high-res
guidance continues to depict a corridor of strong southwesterly
winds (sustained 25-35 mph) developing amid very low RH values of
5-15% from far southeastern Nevada and northwestern Arizona into
central Utah. With very dry and receptive fuels across this region
(ERCs in the 80-90+ percentiles) and ongoing large wildfire
activity, these conditions will yield an extremely critical fire
weather threat across this region. Deep boundary layer mixing
coupled with the aforementioned mid-level jet will also promote wind
gusts to 45 mph. A more expansive area of elevated to critical fire
weather concerns is expected across adjacent areas of the Great
Basin where modestly weaker sustained surface winds (generally 15-25
mph) are forecast to overlap very low RH values of 5-20%. An
extended period of critical wind/RH conditions (perhaps 10+ hours
for some locations), poor overnight humidity recoveries, and
residual gusty winds are forecast. Only minor adjustments were made
to the drawn areas with this update to reflect the latest available
guidance, and minor trimming was done on the northeastern extent of
the Elevated highlights in central Wyoming to account for heavier
rainfall on Thursday.

...Colorado Plateau...
Increasing mid-level flow and ascent ahead of the approaching
mid-level trough (coupled with dry boundary layer profiles and PWAT
values of 0.5-0.8") will support the potential for isolated dry
thunderstorms this afternoon from northwestern New Mexico into much
of western Colorado. While storm motions are anticipated to be
generally 20-30+ kts, pockets of heavier rainfall totals are
possible, especially across northwestern New Mexico and southwestern
Colorado where the latest guidance suggests PWAT contents and storm
coverage may be locally greater. Thus, a mix of wet/dry
thunderstorms is likely. Pockets of lingering receptive fuels (ERCs
in the 80-90+ percentile) will continue to be receptive to lightning
ignitions, however, and concerns regarding any lightning ignitions
increase as multiple days of critical fire weather conditions are
expected this weekend.

SPC 1630Z Day 1 Outlook

Day 1 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1147 AM CDT Fri Jun 26 2026

Valid 261630Z - 271200Z

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE HIGH
PLAINS TO OZARKS AND LOWER OHIO VALLEY...AS WELL AS PARTS OF NEW
ENGLAND...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorm development is expected today,
particularly this afternoon into tonight across parts of the Ozark
Plateau to Lower Ohio Valley and across parts of the northern and
central High Plains to the Black Hills vicinity. Other severe storms
are expected across portions of New England.

...Ozarks and Lower Ohio Valley...
Multiple eastward-moving MCVs remain evident regionally in
observational data at midday, probably strongest across southeast
Missouri, but also the Oklahoma/Arkansas border vicinity and
northern Kentucky. A related observed enhancement to the
low/mid-level flow will persists from the Ozarks/Bootheel
east-northeastward parallel to the Ohio River, but cloud
cover/scattered precipitation remains fairly prevalent regionally as
well. Peripheral cloud breaks and insolation should allow for
gradual destabilization, particularly on the south/southwest fringes
of this early day activity. This should lead to severe storm
development into mid/late afternoon through the evening, potentially
including supercells given the flow enhancement. A couple of
tornadoes could occur aside from wind damage.

...High Plains...
A seasonably anomalous upper trough will continue to amplify and
spread eastward over the Pacific Northwest toward the Great Basin
and Intermountain West, with a lead disturbance ejecting
northeastward toward the northern High Plains. Pronounced lee
troughing is forecast with a surface low expected to evolve over
central and southeast Montana through tonight. A corridor of at
least weak to moderate boundary-layer destabilization is expected
across the High Plains. Strengthening large-scale ascent and ample
vertical shear downstream of the digging large-scale troughing will
favor organized severe thunderstorm development late this afternoon
through evening. Supercells and evolving organized clusters will
pose a risk for large hail and severe gusts, and perhaps a tornado.
Across the central into southern High Plains, isolated to widely
scattered storms will likely develop/mature and propagate east
during the evening. Hail and wind are the primary hazards with this
activity and this severe risk will probably linger into the late
evening.

...New England...
Have introduced a Slight Risk for portions of the region, primarily
focused near the advancing surface low/warm front. A shortwave
trough over Ontario/Lower Great Lakes will move east across New
England by this evening. Cloud cover, albeit abating this afternoon,
will limit the overall magnitude of destabilization, but upwards of
1000-1500 J/kg SBCAPE are forecast to develop along/south of a warm
front. Elongated hodographs beneath a 100+ kt 250-mb speed max will
aid in storm organization in the form of possibly a couple of
supercells and organized multicells. Isolated coverage of large hail
and damaging gusts are the primary risks with the stronger
thunderstorms, but the moist environment and low-level shear/SRH
could yield a tornado threat.

...Mid-Atlantic States to Carolinas...
The southern periphery of stronger mid to high-level westerly flow
is forecast across the region, atop northward-shifting low-level
moisture that is richest across the Carolinas into southern
Virginia, where near/above 70 F surface dewpoints are prevalent. The
overlap of moderate westerly flow and weak destabilization is
expected to support scattered thunderstorms capable of strong to
locally severe/damaging gusts (50-60 mph). Additional sea-breeze
influenced locally severe storms may occur across the coastal plain
of the Carolinas.
