MD 0322 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY FOR PARTS OF SOUTHWEST TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0322 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0525 PM CDT Wed Apr 01 2026 Areas affected...Parts of southwest Texas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely Valid 012225Z - 020030Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...The risk of severe storms capable of producing large hail and severe wind gusts will increase over the next few hours. A watch will be needed within the next hour or so. DISCUSSION...The latest visible satellite and radar data show a gradual increase in high-based convection developing on the immediate hot/dry side of the dryline extending across southwest TX. While it is unclear if these early storms will pose a substantial severe risk in the near term, a deeply mixed boundary layer and around 40 kt of midlevel west-southwesterly flow orthogonal to the dryline could promote a couple severe downburts and sporadic large hail with any storms that mature. With time, additional storm development is expected as modest large-scale ascent influences the area and enhances surface convergence along the dryline. Elongating/mostly straight hodographs (effective shear increasing to around 50 kt) and steep deep-layer lapse rates/moderate surface-based buoyancy should support a mix of semi-discrete supercells and clusters with a risk of large to very large hail and severe wind gusts. With time, these storms should grow upscale and pose a continued/increasing risk of scattered severe winds. While less likely, a tornado or two will also be possible as storms intercept a strengthening nocturnal low-level jet this evening/overnight. A watch will likely be needed within the next hour or so. ..Weinman/Leitman.. 04/01/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...EWX...SJT...LUB...MAF...

MD 0323 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 86... FOR SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA
Mesoscale Discussion 0323 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0555 PM CDT Wed Apr 01 2026 Areas affected...Southwestern Oklahoma Concerning...Tornado Watch 86... Valid 012255Z - 020100Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 86 continues. SUMMARY...The tornado risk will increase over the next couple hours in southwestern Oklahoma -- within Tornado Watch #86. DISCUSSION...A cluster of thunderstorms is evolving/strengthening near the triple point around Childress TX -- where several severe gusts have recently been measured. Over the next couple hours, these storms, and additional developing storms along its northern/eastern flank, should continue to intensify as they move into a warm/moist boundary layer and steep deep-layer lapse rates (around 2000 J/kg MLCAPE). Clockwise-curved hodographs will increase in size (250+ m2/s2 effective SRH) as the nocturnal low-level jet strengthens over the next couple hours, favoring intensifying low-level mesocyclones/right-movers. As a result, the tornado risk (some strong) will increase into southwestern OK over the next couple hours, along with the potential for very large hail and severe wind gusts. ..Weinman.. 04/01/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0324 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 85... FOR MIDDLE/UPPER OHIO VALLEY
Mesoscale Discussion 0324 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0557 PM CDT Wed Apr 01 2026 Areas affected...middle/upper Ohio Valley Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 85... Valid 012257Z - 020030Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 85 continues. SUMMARY...A gradual weakening trend is anticipated this evening across WW0085, but at least some risk for strong to occasionally damaging wind gusts and isolated severe hail is expected for another hour or so. DISCUSSION...Ongoing convective activity within WW85 is noted along/near the Ohio River. Expectation is for this activity to gradually weaken with time this evening as nocturnal boundary layer stabilization increases low-level inhibition. However, 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE and around 30 kts of effective bulk shear (per latest mesoanalysis) should continue to support at least some threat for strong to occasionally damaging winds and isolated large hail over the next hour or so. The greatest short term risk appears to be associated with a stronger storm cluster currently located across northwestern West Virginia. A new watch is not anticipated at this time; however, a local extension may be needed should a stronger storm or two persist past the scheduled expiration of WW85 at 00Z. ..Chalmers.. 04/01/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0318 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR NORTHERN VIRGINIA...CENTRAL/EASTERN MARYLAND...FAR SOUTHERN PENNSYLVANIA
Mesoscale Discussion 0318 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0250 PM CDT Wed Apr 01 2026 Areas affected...Northern Virginia...central/eastern Maryland...far southern Pennsylvania Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 011950Z - 012145Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered storms may develop and move east off of the Blue Ridge. Isolated wind damage may occur with the strongest storms. Limited coverage of stronger activity limits confidence in the need for a watch this afternoon. Trends will be monitored. DISCUSSION...The morning sounding from Dulles showed a rather modest moist layer. Accordingly, dewpoints have had a tendency to mix into the low/mid 50s F this afternoon. With ample surface heating, however, 750-1000 J/kg MLCAPE has developed. Convection has increased within the Blue Ridge and has shown some deepening recently. Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms may eventually evolve out of this activity. Deep-layer shear is only around 30 kts. Convection that is able to mature will likely only be marginally organized. The primary hazard with storms this afternoon will be damaging winds gusts on account of the modestly dry/well-mixed boundary layer. ..Wendt/Hart.. 04/01/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0319 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY FOR PARTS OF NORTHWEST TX...WESTERN/CENTRAL OK...SOUTHERN KS
Mesoscale Discussion 0319 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0339 PM CDT Wed Apr 01 2026 Areas affected...Parts of northwest TX...western/central OK...southern KS Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely Valid 012039Z - 012215Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...Severe storm development is expected from late afternoon into the evening. Tornado Watch issuance is likely in the next 1-2 hours. DISCUSSION...Heating/destabilization is underway this afternoon across much of TX/OK, along/south of a northward-moving warm front. Steep lapse rates were noted within the 800-500 mb layer from the 18Z LMN sounding, though with weaker lapse rates noted above 500 mb within an extensive cirrus plume. Temperatures in the low 80s F and dewpoints in the low/mid 60s are supporting MLCAPE generally in the 1000-2000 J/kg range along/south of the warm front, and along/east of a diffuse dryline extending from the southeast TX Panhandle into southwest TX. While deep-layer flow (as depicted by regional VWPs and objective mesoanalyses) is currently rather modest, an increase in both low-level and deep-layer shear is expected with time into the evening, in response to an approaching mid/upper-level shortwave trough. Increasing ascent and weakening MLCINH should eventually result in storm development near the warm front and southward along the dryline by late afternoon into the early evening, with additional warm sector development possible as the low-level jet continues to intensify. Initial storm development is expected to evolve into a broken band of supercells, with an attendant threat of large to very large hail, localized severe gusts, and eventually a tornado threat as low-level shear/SRH continues to increase. Guidance varies regarding the duration of discrete supercell potential before upscale growth occurs, but a conditional strong tornado threat could accompany any persistent supercell into the evening. Tornado Watch issuance is expected later this afternoon or early evening in response to these threats. ..Dean/Hart.. 04/01/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Valid 012040Z - 012245Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 85 continues. SUMMARY...Convection should continue along the stationary boundary and near outflow from earlier storms. Isolated large hail and wind damage are the main hazards with this activity. DISCUSSION...A majority of the activity within WW 85 remains near and south of a stationary front north of the Ohio River. An additional cluster persists in southern West Virginia. Thus far, storms have maintained a primarily cellular mode and produce isolated large hail. The expectation for the remainder of the afternoon is for additional storms to move into the watch from the west as well as other storms potentially developing along outflow from storms in West Virginia. The cluster in southern West Virginia is likely to weaken as it moves into the terrain as temperatures there are slightly cooler and convection has influenced the airmass farther east. Regional VAD data shows 40-50 kts of 0-6 km shear which should continue to support organized storms capable of primarily isolated large hail and wind damage. ..Wendt.. 04/01/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0321 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF NORTHEAST OK...SOUTHEAST KS...SOUTHWEST MO
Mesoscale Discussion 0321 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0352 PM CDT Wed Apr 01 2026 Areas affected...Parts of northeast OK...southeast KS...southwest MO Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 012052Z - 012245Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Isolated severe storm development is possible through late afternoon, with increasing coverage of storms expected into the evening. DISCUSSION...In the wake of convection moving across parts of southern MO, heating/destabilization is underway from parts of northeast OK/southeast KS into southwest MO, near and south of a diffuse northward-moving warm front. Objective mesoanalyses and the 18Z LMN sounding (modified for observations near/south of the front) suggest that MLCAPE has risen into the 1000-1500 J/kg range, with steep lapse rates in the 800-500 mb layer. With some residual capping and generally modest large-scale ascent, potential for storm redevelopment near the warm front this afternoon is uncertain. However, short-term guidance continues to suggest potential for isolated development by late afternoon, within a modest low-level warm-advection regime. Deep-layer shear is relatively modest as of mid afternoon, but should gradually increase from west to east as mid/upper-level flow increases ahead of an approaching shortwave trough. A supercell or two could develop by late afternoon in the vicinity of the warm front, where effective shear/SRH will be locally enhanced. Any such development would be accompanied by a threat for hail, locally damaging wind, and possibly a tornado. Watch issuance is possible later this afternoon, if confidence increases in the development of organized storms. Another potential round of severe storms is still expected later this evening, as the primary mid/upper-level shortwave trough begins to impinge upon the region. ..Dean/Hart.. 04/01/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0417 PM CDT Wed Apr 01 2026 Valid 031200Z - 091200Z ...Synopsis... A progressive large scale mid/upper trough will traverse the Great Plains on D3/Friday and shift northeast, bringing cooler temperatures, higher elevation snow, and much needed rain to parts of northern Rockies and northern High Plains. This should reduce broader fire weather concerns across portions of the High Plains into the Midwest. However, fire weather concerns will remain for areas that do not see appreciable rainfall on Day 2/Thursday and Day 3/Friday in the central and southern High Plains. An upper ridge builds back across the western U.S. thereafter, bringing warm and dry weather through the remainder of the forecast period. ...Day 3/Friday - Southern High Plains and West Texas... A cold front associated with an emerging surface low will progress southward across the central and southern High Plains on Day 3/Friday. Tightening surface pressure gradients in the lee of the Sangre de Critso and Sandia Manzano Mountains of NM will promote strong downslope westerly winds of 15-20 mph with coincident RH of 10-15 percent ahead of the dry cold front. The aforementioned front will pass through the TX Panhandle and eastern NM in the late afternoon, bringing sustained northerly winds of 20+ mph, while only increasing RH to 20-30 percent. These weather conditions should be monitored closely with any new ignitions or ongoing wildfires, as it could be problematic for fire spread. However, increasing high cloud cover throughout the day may alleviate some fire concerns. Additionally, dry and breezy conditions return to far southern NV and the Low/High Desert of CA on Day 3/Friday. Sustained northerly winds of 20-30 mph and 10-15 percent RH could promote localized wildfire spread potential. Upper ridging builds back in this weekend across the western U.S., persisting through early next week. Given the overall pattern, locally elevated fire weather conditions may arise as dry conditions prevail across parts of the central and southern High Plains. ..Elizalde-Garcia/Williams.. 04/01/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

An upper ridge builds back across the western U.S. thereafter, bringing warm and dry weather through the remainder of the forecast period. ...Day 3/Friday - Southern High Plains and West Texas... A cold front associated with an emerging surface low will progress southward across the central and southern High Plains on Day 3/Friday. Tightening surface pressure gradients in the lee of the Sangre de Critso and Sandia Manzano Mountains of NM will promote strong downslope westerly winds of 15-20 mph with coincident RH of 10-15 percent ahead of the dry cold front. The aforementioned front will pass through the TX Panhandle and eastern NM in the late afternoon, bringing sustained northerly winds of 20+ mph, while only increasing RH to 20-30 percent. These weather conditions should be monitored closely with any new ignitions or ongoing wildfires, as it could be problematic for fire spread. However, increasing high cloud cover throughout the day may alleviate some fire concerns. Additionally, dry and breezy conditions return to far southern NV and the Low/High Desert of CA on Day 3/Friday. Sustained northerly winds of 20-30 mph and 10-15 percent RH could promote localized wildfire spread potential. Upper ridging builds back in this weekend across the western U.S., persisting through early next week. Given the overall pattern, locally elevated fire weather conditions may arise as dry conditions prevail across parts of the central and southern High Plains. ..Elizalde-Garcia/Williams.. 04/01/2026 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0417 PM CDT Wed Apr 01 2026 Valid 031200Z - 091200Z ...Synopsis... A progressive large scale mid/upper trough will traverse the Great Plains on D3/Friday and shift northeast, bringing cooler temperatures, higher elevation snow, and much needed rain to parts of northern Rockies and northern High Plains. This should reduce broader fire weather concerns across portions of the High Plains into the Midwest. However, fire weather concerns will remain for areas that do not see appreciable rainfall on Day 2/Thursday and Day 3/Friday in the central and southern High Plains. An upper ridge builds back across the western U.S. thereafter, bringing warm and dry weather through the remainder of the forecast period. ...Day 3/Friday - Southern High Plains and West Texas...
