WW 181 TORNADO IA MN WI 282025Z - 290400Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 181 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 325 PM CDT Mon Apr 28 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Northern Iowa Central and Southeast Minnesota Western Wisconsin * Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 325 PM until 1100 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes likely Widespread large hail and scattered very large hail events to 3 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible SUMMARY...A line of intense thunderstorms over western Minnesota will track northeastward across the watch area through the evening. Very large hail and a few tornadoes are the primary concerns. Strong tornadoes are also possible. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles east and west of a line from 95 miles north northeast of Minneapolis MN to 20 miles southeast of Fort Dodge IA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU1). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.

MD 0592 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 182... FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0592 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0713 PM CDT Mon Apr 28 2025 Areas affected...Portions of northwest Texas Concerning...Tornado Watch 182... Valid 290013Z - 290145Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 182 continues. SUMMARY...Supercells will continue to pose a risk of very large hail, with an increasing tornado risk into this evening (00-02Z). DISCUSSION...Semi-discrete supercell clusters are tracking northeastward across northwest Texas this evening. These storms are evolving east of a dryline bulge, where temperatures have warmed into the 80s amid upper 60s to around 70 dewpoints -- beneath steep midlevel lapse rates. Around 40 kt of deep-layer shear (per VWP data), characterized by a long/generally straight hodograph, should continue to favor a risk of very large hail. However, as the low-level jet increases over the next couple hours, clockwise-curved low-level hodographs should expand, favoring an increasing tornado risk -- especially as storms track northeastward toward the Red River through 02Z. Around of 300-400 m2/s2 effective SRH will conditionally support a strong tornado with any established right-moving supercells that evolve. ..Weinman.. 04/29/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
