MD 1167 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 390... FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHEASTERN KS
Mesoscale Discussion 1167 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0614 PM CDT Tue Jun 04 2024 Areas affected...portions of central and southeastern KS Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 390... Valid 042314Z - 050045Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 390 continues. SUMMARY...Upscale growth of ongoing thunderstorms appears likely this evening. Damaging winds and isolated hail are possible. A new downstream watch or an extension of WW390 will likely be needed in a couple of hours. DISCUSSION...As of 23UTC, a cluster of severe thunderstorms was ongoing over central KS with additional development occurring along the cold front to the west. The environment ahead of these storms remains favorable for damaging winds and hail with a broad warm sector, large buoyancy and sufficient deep-layer shear for storm organization. Thus far, storms have remained ahead of the front, but with the front starting to surge southeast, additional development and upscale growth appears likely over the next couple of hours. Large precipitable water values above 1.5 inches will support strong water and hail loaded downdrafts as storms merge. Several measured severe gusts have already occurred suggesting the environment is likely to remain favorable for damaging gusts this evening, especially as stronger cold pools develop. Hi-res guidance shows upscale growth into one or more clusters and eventually a line is likely as storms move east/southeast toward the OK border. As the severe threat is likely to persist into this evening, a new downstream watch or extension of WW390 may need to be considered in the next couple of hours. ..Lyons/Hart.. 06/04/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1168 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR EASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE
Mesoscale Discussion 1168 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0616 PM CDT Tue Jun 04 2024 Areas affected...Eastern Texas Panhandle Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 042316Z - 050115Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...An isolated severe threat, with a potential for hail and strong wind gusts, may continue for a few more hours across the eastern Texas Panhandle. At this time, convective coverage is expected to decrease in the mid to late evening. If it appears that the convection will last longer than expected, then watch issuance would need to be considered. DISCUSSION...The latest hi-resolution radar imagery from Amarillo shows a widely-spaced line of strong thunderstorms over the central and eastern Texas Panhandle. The convection is being supported by lift just ahead of a vorticity max moving southeastward across the Oklahoma Panhandle. The latest surface analysis has a 996 mb low over northwest Texas with northerly flow located across much of the Texas Panhandle. A corridor of locally higher surface dewpoints extends westward into the northern Texas Panhandle, where the RAP is estimating MLCAPE in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg range. In addition to the instability, forecast soundings across the northeastern Texas Panhandle have 700-500 mb lapse rates near 7.5 C/km, which could be enough for a hail threat with the stronger cells. A few strong wind gusts will also be possible. Cells are expected to persist for a few more hours, but that the cap is expected to re-build into the eastern Texas Panhandle by mid evening, causing convective coverage to decrease. ..Broyles/Hart.. 06/04/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 1166 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL IA FAR NORTHERN MO AND SOUTHERN MN
Mesoscale Discussion 1166 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0526 PM CDT Tue Jun 04 2024 Areas affected...Portions of central IA far northern MO and southern MN Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 042226Z - 050000Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Several clusters of thunderstorms appear likely to increase in coverage and intensity this evening. While there remains some uncertainty on the degree of storm organization, at least some potential for damaging gusts and hail may warrant a WW. DISCUSSION...As of 2220 UTC, regional radar analysis showed several clusters of thunderstorms ongoing ahead of a slow moving cold front associated with a broad mid-level trough stretching from southern MN to northern MO. Mid to upper 60s F surface dewpoints are in place over much of the Midwest, and diurnal heating has allowed temperatures to warm into the low 80s F. Despite modest low and mid-level lapse rates, moderate buoyancy (1000-1500 J/kg of MLCAPE) is sufficient to support strong updrafts. Mid-level shear magnitudes are not overly large with the stronger flow aloft displaced to the north and east. Still area VADs show modestly curving hodographs and effective shear of 25-30 kt over much of IA. Given the degree of instability and forcing from the front/ developing cold pools, storm organization into multicell clusters or short bowing segments is possible. A few transient supercells structures are also possible with the more discrete convection. With several measured gusts already and the potential for more storms to mature this evening, damaging gust and hail potential appears to increasing. Conditions are being monitored for a possible weather watch. ..Lyons/Hart.. 06/04/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...DVN...ARX...MPX...DMX...EAX...OAX...

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 392 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 455 PM CDT Tue Jun 4 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Western and Central Oklahoma * Effective this Tuesday afternoon from 455 PM until Midnight CDT. * Primary threats include...
