SPC MD 2113
MD 2113 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHEAST ALABAMA AND THE CENTRAL FLORIDA PANHANDLE INTO THE LOWER SAVANNAH RIVER VALLEY

Mesoscale Discussion 2113
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1153 AM CDT Mon Aug 24 2026

Areas affected...southeast Alabama and the central Florida Panhandle
into the lower Savannah River Valley

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 241653Z - 241930Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated occurrences of damaging wind gusts are possible
with thunderstorms developing across the region this afternoon. A
watch is unlikely due to the expected limited coverage of the
threat.

DISCUSSION...Visible satellite and lightning data indicate a
gradually deepening cumulus field and incipient thunderstorm
development ahead of a quasi-stationary boundary draped across the
region and along evolving sea breeze boundaries. The 12Z observed
soundings across the region sampled a very moist boundary layer,
contributing to a strongly unstable air mass for elevated parcels.
Since those observations, surface temperatures have warmed into the
lower 90s with steepening low-level lapse rates and MLCAPE of
2000-3000 J/kg.

Generally weak vertical shear and the absence of appreciable
large-scale forcing for ascent are expected to limit the potential
for an organized thunderstorm complex to evolve. However, the degree
of instability will support vigorous pulse storms capable of locally
damaging wind gusts through the remainder of the afternoon.

MD 2114 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR NORTHERN MAINE

Mesoscale Discussion 2114
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1252 PM CDT Mon Aug 24 2026

Areas affected...northern Maine

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

Valid 241752Z - 242015Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated severe storms capable of damaging wind gusts and
marginally severe hail appear possible this afternoon into evening.
A watch is currently not expected.

DISCUSSION...Ahead of a vigorous vorticity maximum centered over the
Champlain Valley, visible satellite imagery indicates deepening
cumulus across the discussion area amidst a warming and
destabilizing air mass with around 500 J/kg of MLCAPE. Eventual
thunderstorm development is expected later this afternoon as height
falls/cooling aloft overspread the warming boundary layer,
contributing to further air mass destabilization. The kinematic
environment features strong mid/upper-level winds, resulting in
long, straight hodographs supportive of splitting supercells with an
associated hail risk. Isolated damaging wind gusts also appear
possible owing to the steepening low-level lapse rates across the
region, which will enhance evaporative cooling in the sub-cloud
layer.

Day 2 Convective Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1209 PM CDT Mon Aug 24 2026

Valid 251200Z - 261200Z

...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PORTIONS OF
THE CENTRAL PLAINS...

...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe storms are likely over the central Plains tomorrow
(Tuesday), with more isolated severe storms possible over the Upper
Mississippi Valley and Gulf coastline. Over all areas, severe gusts
are the main threat, though a couple instances of hail or a tornado
are also possible over the Upper Mississippi Valley.

...Synopsis...
Upper ridging will dominate most of the CONUS as an upper trough
over the Northeast ejects into the Atlantic tomorrow (Tuesday).
Multiple embedded impulses are expected to pivot around the upper
ridge over the central U.S., encouraging surface troughing over the
Plains states. Low-level moisture advection beneath seasonably cool
temperatures aloft, along with modest forcing for ascent with the
surface trough, will encourage strong to severe thunderstorm
development across portions of the High Plains to the Upper MS
Valley.

...Portions of the central Plains...
Upslope flow of low-level moisture toward the higher
terrain/immediate lee of the Rockies will encourage thunderstorm
development tomorrow afternoon across the central High Plains. A
deep and relatively dry boundary layer will develop through the day,
with high-based pulse cellular and multicellular storms expected
(given relatively poor tropospheric vertical shear). Lapse rates
from the surface to 500 mb will reach the 8-9 C/km range, with
robust updrafts likely. These storms will quickly become outflow
dominant, leading to the cold-pool merger and the subsequent
organization of one or more loosely organized MCSs. Given steep
boundary layer lapse rates, efficient evaporative cooling will
promote the potential of severe gusts with the more organized storm
clusters, from far southern NE to the TX Panhandle. 

...Parts of the Upper MS Valley...
By late afternoon, thunderstorms are poised to develop immediately
ahead of a surface trough as a 500 mb impulse and associated wind
maximum overspreads the Upper MS Valley. Surface dewpoints should
reach the low to mid 60s F, but will be overspread by modest
mid-level lapse rates (i.e. 6-7 C/km), yielding 2000-3000 J/kg
MLCAPE. Forecast hodographs are elongated, with some low-level
curvature noted. Supercells are expected to be the main storm mode,
accompanied by a sparse risk of all severe convective hazards. 

...Eastern parts of the Gulf Coast...
Pulse cellular storms will develop along the Gulf Coast again
tomorrow, where mid 70s F surface dewpoints will yield enough
buoyancy to support strong thunderstorms. MLCAPE will likely exceed
2000 J/kg over several locales, with PWATS well over 2 inches
expected. As such, water-loaded downdrafts will promote wet
microbursts capable of producing wind damage.

Valid 241700Z - 251200Z

A passing mid-level wave will induce periods of locally elevated
fire weather conditions across portions of the Klamath River Basin
today. RH values may decline to less than 15% with wind gusts over
20 mph in terrain favored areas; however, spatial extent and
duration of these conditions will be limited, precluding the
introduction of highlights. 

Based on the latest guidance and observations, only minor
adjustments were made to the Isolated Dry Thunderstorm risk area in
the northern Great Basin and Elevated highlights in the southern
Plains. Please see the previous discussion for more details.

..Elizalde-Garcia.. 08/24/2026

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0157 AM CDT Mon Aug 24 2026/

...Synopsis...
A subtle/low-amplitude midlevel wave will move northeastward across
parts of the northern Great Basin today. Farther south, a separate
shortwave trough will track southeastward across the
central/southern Plains -- along the northeastern periphery of an
expansive upper ridge centered on the southern Rockies. In response
to this feature, a surface low will evolve slowly eastward across
parts of OK.

...Dry Thunderstorms - Northern Great Basin...
Diurnal heating/boundary-layer mixing beneath a well-established
midlevel moisture plume will contribute to weak surface-based
destabilization across parts of the northern Great Basin today. As
large-scale forcing for ascent accompanying the midlevel wave
overspreads this instability, isolated high-based thunderstorms will
track northeastward across the area. The deeply mixed boundary layer
(inverted-V profiles) and 25-30 mph storm motions will favor dry
thunderstorms capable of lightning-induced ignitions -- given
receptive fuels. 

...Southern Plains...
Along/behind the evolving surface low, a dry air mass (15-20 percent
RH) will develop amid 15-20 mph sustained west-southwesterly surface
winds. These dry/breezy conditions atop increasingly dry fuels
(95th+ percentile ERCs) will yield elevated fire-weather conditions
during the late morning and afternoon.
