Severe Storms

SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0100 AM CDT Wed May 22 2024 Valid 221200Z - 231200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND ARK-LA-TEX... ...SUMMARY... Severe storms with large hail, wind damage and a few tornadoes will be likely today across parts of the southern Plains and Ark-La-Tex. Isolated severe storms will be possible today from parts of the mid Mississippi Valley northeastward into the Ohio Valley and Lower Great Lakes. ...Southern Plains/Ark-La-Tex... West-southwest mid-level flow will be in place over a moist and unstable airmass today across much of the southern Plains and Ark-La-Tex. At the surface, a cold front will advance southeastward into southeast Oklahoma and northwest Texas by afternoon. As surface temperatures and low-level convergence increase along and near the front, convective initiation will become likely around midday. Numerous thunderstorms are expected to develop and move east-southeastward across the southern Plains and Ark-La-Tex during the afternoon. The development of a large severe MCS appears likely. Ahead of the front, moderate to strong instability is forecast by afternoon, with MLCAPE peaking in the 3000 to 4000 J/kg range. In addition, moderate deep-layer shear is forecast across much of the moist airmass. At 21Z along and near the axis of greatest convective potential, forecast soundings from the northern Texas Hill Country northeastward into the Ark-La-Tex, have 0-6 km shear in the 50 to 60 knot range. This suggests that supercells will be possible, mainly early in the event when cells are more likely to be discrete and cell interactions are less likely. In addition, forecast soundings near the axis of strongest instability, have 700-500 mb lapse rates in the 7.5 to 8 C/km range. This environment will be favorable for large hail with supercells, with hailstones of greater than 2 inches in diameter possible with the strongest of storms. In areas where cells congeal into a line, wind damage will become likely. The greatest potential will be with the faster-moving bowing segments. A few tornadoes are also expected, mainly with supercells and or bow echoes. The severe threat is expected to persist into the early to mid evening, as the linear MCS moves across parts of central and east Texas into northern Louisiana. ...Ohio Valley/Lower Great Lakes... A shortwave trough will move northeastward into the western Great Lakes today, as a northeast-to-southwest oriented pre-frontal trough advances eastward through the Ohio Valley. A narrow corridor of instability will develop near the pre-frontal trough from the mid Mississippi Valley northeastward to the lower Great Lakes. As surface temperatures warm along the front during the day, isolated to scattered thunderstorms are expected to initiate. Multiple thunderstorm clusters are expected to develop and move eastward through the Ohio Valley during the afternoon. Forecast soundings at 21Z along the axis of instability from western Kentucky northeastward into central Ohio generally have 0-6 km shear in the 35 to 45 knot range. This, combined with MLCAPE near 2000 J/kg, will support a potential for organized severe storms. Although supercells will be possible, there may be a tendency for storms to organize into short line segments due to flow that will be oriented parallel to the convective axis. Wind damage will be the primary threat, although hail and a marginal tornado threat will be possible in the lower Great Lakes, where deep-layer shear is forecast to be the strongest. The severe threat could persist into the early evening, as cells move into the central Appalachians. ..Broyles/Barnes.. 05/22/2024 Read more

WW 283 TORNADO AR 220120Z - 220800Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 283 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 820 PM CDT Tue May 21 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of North cental and central Arkansas * Effective this Tuesday night and Wednesday morning from 820 PM until 300 AM CDT. * Primary threats include... A couple tornadoes possible Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible SUMMARY...A few supercells will be possible through the early morning hours, in an environment favorable for large hail of 1-2 inches in diameter, damaging gusts of 60-70 mph, and a couple of tornadoes. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 70 statute miles east and west of a line from 35 miles northeast of Flippin AR to 40 miles south southeast of Russellville AR. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3). 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 277...WW 278...WW 279...WW 280...WW 281...WW 282...

MD 0884 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 283... FOR EAST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA INTO CENTRAL ARKANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0884 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1039 PM CDT Tue May 21 2024 Areas affected...east central Oklahoma into central Arkansas Concerning...Tornado Watch 283... Valid 220339Z - 220545Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 283 continues. SUMMARY...Isolated supercell thunderstorm development persists and may continue to spread eastward across and east the Mississippi River through 06-07Z. These may pose a risk for severe hail and locally strong gusts. The potential for tornadoes may now be low enough that a new severe weather watch does not appear needed, but trends will continue to be monitored. DISCUSSION...Ahead of a cold front advancing southeastward across the Ozark Plateau, isolated supercell development is being maintained near the southern periphery of broad mid-level troughing still slowly progressing to the east of the southern Rockies. Forcing for ascent is being aided by weak low-level warm advection near the nose of an increasingly suppressed plume of elevated mixed-layer air, where steep lapse rates are contributing to CAPE up to around 3000 J/kg. Deep-layer mean flow on the order of 40-50 kt remains strongly sheared as it has taken on an increasingly westerly component in the wake of the primary short wave trough shifting through the Upper Midwest. It is possible pre-frontal low-level moistening and destabilization could support the continued eastward spread of ongoing storms into/through portions of the Mid South by 06-07Z. ..Kerr.. 05/22/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
