WW 186 SEVERE TSTM AR KS MO OK TX 290735Z - 291500Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 186 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 235 AM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Far Northwest Arkansas South-Central/Southeast Kansas Far Southwest Missouri Northern Oklahoma Far Northeast Texas Panhandle * Effective this Tuesday morning from 235 AM until 1000 AM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to develop across northwest OK and the far northeast TX Panhandle in the vicinity of a cold front progressing southward. This initial activity could pose a threat for large hail. This development will likely grow upscale with an attendant threat for damaging gusts as it moves eastward across northern OK and south-central/southeast KS into far southwest MO and far northwest AR. Some hail is possible within the stronger cells across these areas as well. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles north and south of a line from 95 miles west southwest of Alva OK to 20 miles east northeast of Joplin MO. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements and possible warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce tornadoes. && AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 24035. ...Mosier Read more

Public Severe Weather Outlook
PUBLIC SEVERE WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0852 PM CDT MON APR 28 2025 ...Severe thunderstorms expected over parts of the Upper Midwest this evening and overnight... * LOCATIONS... Wisconsin Northern Iowa Far Southeast Minnesota * HAZARDS... Several tornadoes, a few intense Scattered large hail, some baseball size Scattered damaging winds * SUMMARY... Multiple corridors of severe thunderstorms will continue this evening from the Upper Midwest into the central and southern Plains. Tornadoes, large hail, and severe gusts all remain possible, including some potential for strong tornadoes. Preparedness actions... Tornadoes at night can be particularly dangerous because they are usually fast-moving and difficult to see. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio, weather.gov, or other media for watches and warnings. A tornado watch means that conditions are favorable for tornadoes to form during the next several hours. If a tornado warning is issued for your area, move to a place of safety, ideally in a basement or interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building. && ..Gleason.. 04/29/2025 Read more

MD 0598 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA INTO NORTHWEST TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0598 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0306 AM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025 Areas affected...southwest Oklahoma into northwest Texas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 290806Z - 291000Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...A few strong to severe gust may occur from northwest Texas into southwest Oklahoma this morning. The situation may not require a watch. DISCUSSION...An MCS is rapidly moving eastward into northwest TX, with several gusts over 50 kt recently. Radar indicates the leading edge of this convective line remains strong and well balanced. Given a moist and unstable air mass downstream, it is expected this system will persist for a few more hours. However, longevity may also depend on capping. At the very least, isolated severe gusts may occur. Trends will continue to be monitored. ..Jewell/Mosier.. 04/29/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0354 AM CDT Tue Apr 29 2025 Valid 021200Z - 071200Z ...DISCUSSION... The severe potential remains limited through the day 4-8 period. On D4/Friday, an upper level trough will be located across the eastern US with strengthening upper level ridging across the western US into the Rockies. Along the dryline in far western Texas, a few thunderstorms capable of large hail will be possible. This threat may be limited in duration and coverage by the southward moving cold front expected to extend from the southern Plains into the northeastern US. As this front shifts southward and a surface high builds in across the central US D5/Saturday into D6/Sunday, moisture will be scoured out of much of the CONUS limiting the severe threat. As the surface high shifts eastward across the Midwest, slow moisture return will begin across the southern Plains late D6/Sunday into D7/Monday. During this period, the next upper-level wave will be deepening across the western US. As this system evolves, severe potential may return late in the period across portions of the southern and central Plains. Read more
