U.S. Threats Assessment
Valid Friday, June 23, 2000 - Tuesday, July 4, 2000.
Summary of Forecasts & Threats
SYNOPSIS: The cirulcation starts with a trough in the middle of the country
and ridges near the coasts, becomes more zonal for the next few days, but by
early next week the uncertainty level of todays forecasts becomes high as
the MRF, ECMWF and PRC models all have different solutions for the 6-10 day
period. Today's MRF forecast places a mean trough just off the West Coast
and a broad ridge from the Rockies to the Great Lakes Region, while the
ECMWF solution is almost opposite with a broad trough over the northeastern
U.S. These differing solutions for the 6-10 day period make the outlook for
days 11-14 even more uncertain. All that can be said is that the MRF keeps a
weak mean trough off the West Coast, builds a strong mean ridge in the Great
Plains and develops a strong mean trough near the East Coast. Heaviest
showers and thundershowers will be concentrated in the North-Central States
for the first few days, but become more generally widespread over much of
the northeastern third of the country during the latter part of period
covered by the Threats Assessment.
THREATS
Long-term drought continues over portions of the Midwest, South, and Hawaii.
Showers and thundershowers along a dissipating cold front may bring further
drought relief to the Southeast this weekend and early next week.
General risk of wildfires remains high over western New Mexico, most of
Arizona, portions of the Rockies and intermountain region, and northern and
central Florida.
There is a risk of lightning from pre-monsoon thunderstorms sparking new
fires in the Southwest until more general rains from the Monsoon become
established.
Widespread thunderstorm activity near a slowly southward-moving cold front
may cause local flash flooding in the upper Mississippi Valley and Great
Lakes Region this weekend and from the middle Mississippi Valley eastward
through the Ohio Valley to Middle Atlantic States early next week.
DETAILED SUMMARY
For Friday June 23 through Sunday June 25: A trough is expected to bring
strong thunderstorms and heavy rains from the Dakotas eastward through
Minnesota and Iowa to the Great Lakes Region. The remnants of a previous
cold front should focus showers and thunderstorms in areas where they will
bring further drought relief to parts of the Southeast.
For Monday June 26 through Friday June 30: The MRF model is more
representative of its ensemble members today, suggesting that a weak mean
trough will remain off the West Coast while a strong progressive short wave
trough will lift out as it crosses the Rockies and not extablish a new mean
trough position in the West. There is some risk of localized flash flooding
in areas where heavy showers fall on saturated topsoils from parts of the
Ohio Valley eastward through the central Appalachians and Middle Atlantic
States.
For Saturday July 1 through Tuesday July 4: The MRF maintains an amplified
ridge from Rockies and northern Great Plains into Canada and develops a
strong trough over New England and the Middle Atlantic Coast. The predicted
development of this ridge over the Rockies should enable the Southwest
Monsoon to become extablished on schedule, which will eventually reduce the
wildfire risk in the Southwest.
Please consult local NWS Forecast Offices for short range forecasts and
region-specific information.
At least two people died and two others were injured in Oaxaca, Mexico, when
three vehicles fell into a stream after a highway collapsed
