Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0759 PM CDT Fri Apr 04 2025 Valid 050100Z - 051200Z ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE ARKLATEX INTO SOUTHEAST MISSOURI... ...SUMMARY... Clusters of severe storms are expected across portions of Texas across the ArkLaTex and into the lower Ohio Valley tonight. The greatest threat for tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds continues from the ArkLaTex into southeast Missouri, including potential for strong to potentially intense tornadoes. ...01z Update... Primary upper low has settled along the international border west of TUS this evening. A secondary short-wave trough is expected to advance into west TX later tonight when another bout of elevated convection will evolve atop cooler air mass wedged deep into this portion of the southern Plains. Hail will once again be expected with this late-night activity. Downstream, a slow-moving corridor of strong-severe thunderstorms continues from the Arklatex-northern AR-southeast MO-southern IL. Supercells are embedded along the frontal zone and this activity will continue through the overnight hours as a weak short-wave ejects toward the OH Valley. LLJ is forecast to strengthen into southern IL over the next several hours and this could aid upscale growth as warm advection intensifies into this region. With surface dew points rising through the upper 60s to near 70 near the confluence of the MS/OH Rivers, ample buoyancy exists for robust updrafts. 00z soundings from SHV and LZK support this with SBCAPE in excess of 3000 J/kg. Given the very strong deep-layer shear strong tornadoes remain a possibility. ..Darrow.. 04/05/2025 Read more

WW 115 TORNADO AR IL KY MO MS TN 041955Z - 050300Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 115 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 255 PM CDT Fri Apr 4 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Northeast Arkansas Extreme southern Illinois Western Kentucky Southeast Missouri Norhern Mississippi Western and Middle Tennessee * Effective this Friday afternoon and evening from 255 PM until 1000 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...Widely scattered supercell development is expected this afternoon from northern Mississippi across western/Middle Tennessee into western Kentucky. The storm environment supports the potential for several tornadoes (including an isolated strong tornado), large hail up to 2 inches in diameter, and isolated damaging gusts. The potential for damaging winds up to 75 mph will increase later this evening into early tonight as storm clusters spread into southeast Missouri from Arkansas. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 80 statute miles east and west of a line from 30 miles east northeast of Paducah KY to 25 miles south southwest of Memphis TN. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5). 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. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 113...WW 114... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550.

MD 0400 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 117... FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN KENTUCKY
Mesoscale Discussion 0400 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0616 PM CDT Fri Apr 04 2025 Areas affected...Portions of eastern Kentucky Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 117... Valid 042316Z - 050015Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 117 continues. SUMMARY...Threat for severe hail and damaging gusts continues across severe thunderstorm Watch 117, though the threat is expected to diurnally wane. DISCUSSION...Scattered storms are ongoing north of the synoptic stationary boundary. Boundary-layer flow has remained relatively weak with neutral height tendencies leading to weak forcing. Despite this, relatively steep lapse rates and deep convective profiles continue to be supportive of a hail threat. Additionally, some drier surface air, particularly with eastern extent, may provide some negative buoyancy for some weak downbursts that may produce damaging gusts. However, recent convective trends have been to weaken the storms with the loss of diurnal heating, and storms should continue to wane in both coverage and intensity. ..Supinie.. 04/04/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
