SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0759 PM CDT Fri Apr 25 2025
Valid 260100Z - 261200Z
...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR
EAST-CENTRAL NM INTO THE TX SOUTH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Severe thunderstorms with potential for large to very large hail,
isolated severe gusts, and a few tornadoes remain possible this
evening from eastern New Mexico into the Texas South Plains and
Permian Basin.
...Southern High Plains vicinity...
Several supercells are ongoing this evening from eastern NM into the
TX Panhandle, South Plains, and Permian Basin. Moderate to strong
buoyancy and favorably veering wind profiles will maintain supercell
potential through much of the evening, with eventual storm
clustering and upscale growth possible later tonight, due to
continued storm interactions and a nocturnally strengthening
low-level jet.
Tornado potential will persist and may locally increase through the
evening, as 0-1 km SRH increases above 200 m2/s2 in conjunction with
the strengthening low-level jet. A conditional threat for a strong
tornado remains evident with any supercell that can persist near a
surface boundary extending from east-central NM into the TX South
Plains. Otherwise, supercells will continue pose a threat of very
large hail and isolated severe gusts through the evening.
Late tonight, one or more storm clusters may spread
east-southeastward toward southwest OK and western north TX, with a
threat of strong to severe gusts, hail, and possibly a tornado.
...Southern OH into western WV...
A small portion of the Marginal Risk has been maintained from
extreme southern OH into western WV, where a couple of small
rotating cells may persist for another hour or two before weakening
later this evening.

WW 172 TORNADO NM TX 251855Z - 260300Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Tornado Watch Number 172
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
155 PM CDT Fri Apr 25 2025
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Tornado Watch for portions of
Eastern New Mexico
Texas Panhandle and South Plains
* Effective this Friday afternoon and evening from 155 PM until
1000 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes possible
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 4
inches in diameter likely
Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are forecast to develop this
afternoon and evening. Once storms develop, the stronger storms
will likely evolve into intense supercells capable of large to giant
hail. The risk for tornadoes will probably maximize late this
afternoon into the evening as low-level winds strengthen. A strong
tornado is possible.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 85 statute miles
north and south of a line from 55 miles south southwest of Cannon
Afb NM to 25 miles northeast of Childress TX. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU2).
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
tornadoes and 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.
&&
AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
surface and aloft to 4 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean
storm motion vector 27010.

MD 0562 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 172... FOR PARTS OF THE SOUTH PLAINS
Mesoscale Discussion 0562
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0614 PM CDT Fri Apr 25 2025
Areas affected...parts of the South Plains
Concerning...Tornado Watch 172...
Valid 252314Z - 260115Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 172 continues.
SUMMARY...A cyclic supercell continues to pose a large hail and
tornado risk northwest of the Lubbock area, and may persist for a
couple more hours as it move south/southeast.
DISCUSSION...A lone intense supercell continues to evolve along the
instability gradient, very near the LBB area. Surface observations
show cooler air spreading in from the east across the PVW
observation, with much warmer air around LBB. In addition, a
substantial boundary-layer CU field is evident on visible imagery,
from the Abilene/Snyder area northwestward to the ongoing supercell.
Given the orientation of the instability gradient and time of day,
the cell may tend to turn right/south, favoring renewed development
toward the theta-e axis. Although a due-southeast motion would bring
the cell into Lubbock later this evening, it is entirely possible
the cell remains to the west due to dropping temperatures nearby.

WW 173 SEVERE TSTM NM TX 251940Z - 260300Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 173
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
240 PM CDT Fri Apr 25 2025
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Southeast New Mexico
West Texas
* Effective this Friday afternoon and evening from 240 PM until
1000 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
inches in diameter likely
Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
A tornado or two possible
SUMMARY...Isolated thunderstorms are forecast to develop and
intensify this afternoon into the evening. Initially storms will
likely focus near the higher terrain but will eventually move east
into lower elevations. The stronger storms will likely become
supercells with both left and right splitting supercells possible.
Large to very large hail will be the primary risk with these storms.
A tornado is possible during the early evening as low-level winds
strengthen.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
statute miles east and west of a line from 55 miles east northeast
of Carlsbad NM to 45 miles southwest of Fort Stockton TX. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).
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.
&&
OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 172...
AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
3 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A
few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector
27010.
