Relief is on the way for the northwestern U.S. with a diving trough, bringing cool and wet conditions. The Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has an enhanced risk issued for Thursday across the High Plains of Montana, into the Dakotas. All threats will be possible including destructive winds and a few isolated tornadoes!<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/09/1-1726162135402.png">As moisture moves into the region, rainfall could prompt flash flood warnings.

Karissa is the Director of On-Air Operations at WeatherNation. Karissa grew up loving math and science, but really fell in love with Meteorology while attending the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. After two summers of storm chasing in the central plains, she knew that it was the career path for her. Standing in front of a thunderstorm and feeling the cool outflow knock her over was an experience she will never forget. After two years at COD, she transferred to Metropolitan State University of Denver. Karissa graduated Magna Cum Laude with a Bachelors of Science in Meteorology. Her high school and college speech and meteorology professors were extremely supportive and pushed her to succeed. Before joining the WeatherNation team, she previously worked as the Morning Meteorologist at KCAU-TV in Sioux City, Iowa and at WMBD-TV in Peoria, IL. She recently was part of a National Edward R. Murrow award winning team for breaking news for their coverage of the EF-4 tornado in Washington, Illinois. In her free time, Karissa enjoys cooking and trying new foods. She is a self proclaimed 'TV Junkie' who can get into just about any show. She is a die hard Chicago sports fan who loves attending professional sporting events.

Southerly winds pulling on shore from the Gulf of Mexico will enhance the severe weather threat for the Florida panhandle, Alabama and western Georgia. The primary threat will be spin-up tornadoes. Tropical tornadoes can happen quickly, with little warning. If a Tornado Watch is issued for your area, be sure to have a safety plan ready to go when a warning is issued.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot 2024-09-12 064834-1726145326950.png">As Francine's forward progress and intensity relax, a few lingering tornadoes will be possible Friday in the same region.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot 2024-09-12 091139-1726153918982.png"> As the center of Francine's core lifts north, heavy rain and strong thunderstorms will stretch from the Mississippi Valley to the east coast.<video src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/09/Baron 2-1726159394392.mp4" controls="true" width="100%"></video>Widespread areas of 3-6 inches are expected with localized totals up to 10 inches.

Global temperatures continue to soar, with August 2024 marking the hottest in 175 years of recorded history, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.&nbsp;August 2024 has also been the 15th month of record warm months.&nbsp;This milestone follows the Northern Hemisphere’s warmest meteorological summer on record.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/09/globalaug24map-1726159056965.png">(Image credit: NOAA/NCEI)Data released by NOAA highlights that August saw global temperatures exceed previous records by a significant margin. The average global land and ocean surface temperature in August was 2.29 degrees F above the 20th-century average of 60.1 degrees F.&nbsp;&nbsp;The month was not only the hottest August on record, but also stands out for the persistent heat across all continents and oceans.&nbsp;<h4>Unprecedented Heat in the Northern Hemisphere&nbsp;</h4>The Northern Hemisphere has significantly&nbsp;felt the worst part of these extreme impacts. Summer 2024, which includes June, July, and August, has surpassed the previous temperature record. This makes it the warmest season experienced since record keeping. The months combined were 2.74 degrees F above average. This record-breaking heatwave brought significant impacts, from wildfires burning over 6 million acres in North America. Europe has experienced prolonged droughts in regions across Asia and Africa. Asia had its second warmest August, while Africa and North America had their third warmest August.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/09/AugustClimRepGlobal1-1726158026239.png">(Image credit: NOAA/NCEI)<h4>The Impacts&nbsp;</h4>Beyond the immediate discomfort of the heat, the steadily rising trend of rising global temperatures does have a lasting impact. Ecosystems are stressed, sea ice&nbsp;continues to melt at faster rates, which leads to&nbsp;sea level rising, which ultimately threatens coastal communities. According to NOAA, Sea ice across the globe was the second smallest in the 46- year record, at 8.32 million square miles (about the area of North America), and Artic Sea ice was below average, with the fourth lowest on record.&nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/09/sea ice aug 24 new-1726159081665.png">(Image credit: NOAA/NCEI)When it comes to the increased temperatures and the tropics, August was average with 15 named storms, with Debby and Ernesto forming in the month of August.<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot 2024-09-12 103010-1726158622913.png">Specifically, in the U.S., Phoenix, Arizona, shattered its own record with over 30 consecutive days of temperatures exceeding 110°F. The soaring heat, combined with a lack of rainfall, has also triggered widespread wildfires, which are ongoing in the west. &nbsp;<img src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2024/09/Screenshot 2024-09-12 102147-1726158126523.png">The summer of 2024 has left its mark in the records.&nbsp;

Statistically, we are now past the climatological peak of the Atlantic hurricane season, which happened on September 10th. However, based on accumulated cyclone energy (ACE), we still have about half of the tropical activity we see in a season left. And right on cue, the tropics are acting up.

All the ingredients will be coming together over areas of California, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas and Kansas Sunday afternoon for a fire weather risk.  Very low humidity and strong wind gusts are likely in these areas today and therefore the risk of fire danger will be on the high side. Here is the very latest.
<h1>Fire Weather Alerts</h1>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-114193 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2019/10/7day1-5.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Many areas in the western U.S. are under the risk of fire weather today.  This means you will need to avoid any controlled burns or activities that can create sparks or flames. If a fire starts, it will spread very rapidly and make it very difficult for firefighters to contain.
<h1>Wind Forecast</h1>
<img class="alignnone wp-image-114194 size-full" src="https://media.weathernationtv.com/app/uploads/2019/10/7day2-4.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Check out all the windy conditions in the forecast for the 4 Corners and California. Wind speeds are likely going to be 15 - 25 mph with wind gusts possibly exceeding 40 mph.  Keep it tuned to WeatherNation for the very latest fire weather updates.
