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. ..Dean.. 04/26/2025 Read more

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. ...Smith Read more

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. ..Jewell.. 04/25/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

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...
