SPC MD 2128
MD 2128 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR SOUTHEASTERN WYOMING...NORTHEASTERN COLORADO...WESTERN NEBRASKA

Mesoscale Discussion 2128
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0353 PM CDT Tue Aug 25 2026

Areas affected...southeastern Wyoming...northeastern
Colorado...western Nebraska

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 252053Z - 252300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Increasing threat for severe storms by late afternoon. A
watch is possible.

DISCUSSION...Easterly upslope flow across western NE/KS into eastern
Colorado to the foothills is contributing to steadily increasing
moisture into eastern Colorado/southeastern Wyoming. Recent ACARS
soundings from DEN show MLCIN remains. MLCAPE around 1000-2000 J/kg
is noted within SPC Mesoanalysis from eastern Colorado into western
Nebraska/northern Kansas. Convection has increased along the high
terrain. 

Guidance suggests that with further heating and forcing for ascent
with an upstream disturbance shifting eastward late this
afternoon/early evening, thunderstorms will increase in coverage
spread into the lower plains in eastern Colorado and eventually into
portions of the central Plains. With modest westerly flow aloft and
deep layer shear around 30-35 kts, supercell modes will be favored
initially. Large hail and severe gusts will be the primary threat,
given steep low to mid-level lapse rates and aforementioned
thermodynamic environment. A transition to clusters and upscale
growth though the evening with severe gusts becoming the primary
threat through the evening. A watch will be possible this evening to
cover this potential.

MD 2130 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF FAR SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA INTO NORTHWESTERN TEXAS

Mesoscale Discussion 2130
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0457 PM CDT Tue Aug 25 2026

Areas affected...portions of far southwestern Oklahoma into
northwestern Texas

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

Valid 252157Z - 252300Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent

SUMMARY...A few of the stronger storms may continue to produce
severe hail and perhaps severe gusts, especially if storms can
progress further south into a deeper/dry airmass. Trends are being
monitored closely for the need of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch
issuance.

DISCUSSION...A multicellular cluster continues to propagate
southward, with a history of producing measured hail over 1 inch in
diameter, with MRMS MESH indicating up to 2 inch diameter hail
potentially falling. As these storms continue to propagate farther
south, they will encounter an even drier/deeper boundary layer,
which may foster enough evaporative cooling to generate a few severe
gusts via dry microbursts. It is unclear how far south storms will
progress given increasingly weaker downstream deep-layer shear and
overall drier air. Convective trends will continue to be monitored
for the need of a Severe Thunderstorm Watch issuance.

Mesoscale Discussion 2131
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0534 PM CDT Tue Aug 25 2026

Areas affected...Portions of the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 627...

Valid 252234Z - 252330Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 627
continues.

SUMMARY...Severe gusts will remain a concern for at least the next
few hours. A severe wind swath is possible, with a few gusts
potentially exceeding 75 mph.

DISCUSSION...An MCS has organized along the NM/TX/OK border over the
past hour, with some severe gusts noted, including a measured 73 kt
gust from the KCAO ASOS. This MCS continues to propagate
east-southeastward amid a dry and well-mixed boundary layer, with
well over 1500 J/kg MUCAPE noted. Given the degree of evaporative
cooling potential and convective organization in place, a severe
wind swath may accompany this MCS as it progresses across the TX
Panhandle. It is unclear how the severe wind threat will be impacted
by the westward drifting outflow boundary from another cluster of
storms. Nonetheless, in the near-term, severe gusts should continue
to accompany the MCS, some of which may exceed 75 mph.

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook

Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook  
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0500 PM CDT Tue Aug 25 2026

Valid 271200Z - 021200Z

...Synopsis...
An upper ridge will gradually translate eastward into the northern
Plains as a mid-level shortwave trough progresses through the
Pacific Northwest on Day 3/Thursday. Meanwhile, large-scale ascent
will overspread the Northern Rockies into central Montana, promoting
thunderstorm potential where dry fuels exist. A cold front will
sweep across the Columbia Basin, bringing strong winds and modestly
low RH values to a drought-stressed environment with numerous
ongoing wildfires on Day 3/Thursday. Strong southwest-westerly flow
will continue across the northwestern CONUS into the weekend, with
embedded disturbances within persistent upper troughing and along
the northern periphery of the flattening ridge. Long term guidance
suggests a secondary shortwave trough could enter the Northwest and
contribute to the breakdown of the upper ridge atop the Four Corners
this weekend. As a result of the upper pattern, fire weather
concerns will likely continue through the forecast period across the
parts of the Northwest, Great Basin and Northern Rockies. However,
low predictability and poor agreement among ensemble clusters
precludes additional probabilities beyond Day 5/Saturday.

...Dry Thunderstorms...
The arrival of the next upper-level wave will bring additional
opportunities for afternoon thunderstorms across portions of the
Northern Rockies and Montana plains on Day 3/Thursday. A dry
boundary layer and fast storm motions will favor evaporation and
less precipitation efficiency, raising concerns for
lightning-induced ignitions within an increasingly receptive
fuelscape. 10% Dry Thunderstorm probabilities were introduced on Day
3/Thursday, though may need to be confined in future outlooks where
multiple days of an overlapping thunderstorm threat could increase
recoveries.

...Northwest, Northern Great Basin and Northern Rockies...
A drier southwest flow pattern will bring a multi-day fire weather
threat to portions of the northwestern U.S., with fire weather
concerns extending eastward into the Montana plains later this week.
40% Critical probabilities have been maintained with minor
adjustments for Days 3-5/Thursday-Saturday, and introduced across
north/central Montana on Day 4/Friday. West to southwest winds of
15-20 mph and afternoon relative humidity between 15-20 percent will
bring daily elevated fire weather concerns, potentially impacting
nascent wildfires born from thunderstorm activity early in the
forecast period. Critical fire weather conditions with winds of 20+
mph are likely but only in localized areas, particularly from
northeastern CA into far northwestern NV and southeastern OR on Day
3/Thursday. 

...Southern California...
Above average daytime temperatures and poor humidity recoveries are
forecast across portions of southern California through the
week/early weekend. Offshore flow will present overnight/early
morning periods of gusty winds and critically low RH values in Santa
Barbara/Ventura/LA counties amid very dry fuels, raising concerns
for locally elevated fire weather conditions. As such, 40% Critical
probabilities were introduced on Days 3-4/Thursday-Friday.

Goa govt opposed his plea for exemption from surrendering and said his appeal was not admissible since he had not filed a separate application seeking exemption from surrender or shown a certificate that he has already surrendered as per Order XXII Rule 5 of the Supreme Court Rules, 2013. The Goa Police subsequently registered an FIR against Tarun Tejpal.

With over 91,000 MBBS seats available in 2020-21, even with an estimated 75-90% pass percentage, at least 68,000 MBBS graduates should have registered to practice in 2025. Yet the Indian Medical Register shows just over 44,400 entries. That means at least 24,000 of those who graduated just last year are missing from the registry.
