WW 168 SEVERE TSTM NM TX 242100Z - 250300Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 168
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
400 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Far Southeast New Mexico
West Texas
* Effective this Thursday afternoon and evening from 400 PM until
1000 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
inches in diameter possible
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
SUMMARY...Isolated thunderstorms are forecast to develop through the
late afternoon and early evening. The stronger storms will likely
become supercellular and pose mainly a threat for large to very
large hail.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 70
statute miles east and west of a line from 65 miles north northwest
of Big Spring TX to 25 miles west southwest of Dryden TX. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8).
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 166...WW 167...
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
31015.

MD 0548 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 167... FOR TX/OK PANHANDLES INTO THE TX SOUTH PLAINS
Mesoscale Discussion 0548
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0634 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025
Areas affected...TX/OK Panhandles into the TX South Plains
Concerning...Tornado Watch 167...
Valid 242334Z - 250100Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 167 continues.
SUMMARY...Supercells with very large hail and tornado potential may
increase into this evening.
DISCUSSION...A supercell northeast of Lubbock in Floyd County has
recently intensified and turned right, with a confirmed tornado at
around 2315 UTC. Other cells are gradually intensifying across the
TX Panhandle and South Plains, within a weakly capped and strongly
unstable (MLCAPE in excess of 2500 J/kg) environment. The 20Z AMA
sounding was rather dry (with PW of 0.58 inches), but otherwise was
quite favorable for organized storms with steep midlevel lapse rates
and favorable deep-layer shear. Some increase in low-level moisture
quality is expected due to backing surface winds, and multiple
intense supercells may eventually evolve into early evening.
Any mature supercell within this environment will pose a threat of
very large hail (possibly baseball-size or larger), given the
favorable thermodynamic profile. A strengthening low-level jet will
also enlarge low-level hodographs, resulting in an increasing
conditional tornado threat with time, if any supercells can
propagate east-southeastward into an increasingly moist environment.

0746 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025
Valid 250100Z - 251200Z
...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF
THE TEXAS PANHANDLE TO SOUTH PLAINS...
...SUMMARY...
Scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible this evening from
from eastern Colorado and southwest Kansas into western Oklahoma,
the Panhandles and West Texas. Very large hail is possible, along
with a few tornadoes.
...Central and southern Plains...
Scattered severe storms persist this evening over West TX including
the Panhandle, with very large/damaging hail in progress. Other
severe cells, some with tornadic circulation, persist over northwest
OK within a cluster, also with damaging hail and wind potential.
Given the uncapped air mass across most of these areas, storms
should persist for a few hours, and the increasing 850 mb winds out
of the south may favor right moving supercells. The 00Z AMA sounding
confirms the lack of inhibition, showing steep lapse rates through a
deep layer.
Isolated marginally severe storms also persist over eastern CO, and
north of the tornadic northwest OK cluster into southwest KS.
For more information, see mesoscale discussions 548, 549, 550, 551.
