WW 324 TORNADO IL IN KY 262350Z - 270600Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Tornado Watch Number 324
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
650 PM CDT Sun May 26 2024
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Tornado Watch for portions of
Southeast Illinois
Southern Indiana
Western and Central Kentucky
* Effective this Sunday night and Monday morning from 650 PM
until 100 AM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Several tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes likely
Widespread damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 85
mph likely
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
inches in diameter likely
SUMMARY...Scattered supercells are forecast to move into the lower
Ohio Valley early this evening and pose a risk for tornadoes, some
potentially strong, and large to very large hail (up 2 to 3 inches
in diameter). Severe gusts are forecast to become more prevalent
later this evening as a severe squall line with embedded supercells
or mesovortices moves across the Watch area. A tornado risk will
probably accompany any stronger line-embedded circulations.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 90 statute miles
east and west of a line from 70 miles north northeast of Evansville
IN to 30 miles south southwest of Bowling Green KY. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU4).
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.

MD 0989 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY FOR CENTRAL ILLINOIS INTO WEST-CENTRAL INDIANA.
Mesoscale Discussion 0989
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0538 PM CDT Sun May 26 2024
Areas affected...central Illinois into west-central Indiana.
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely
Valid 262238Z - 262345Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent
SUMMARY...The risk for damaging gusts and hail is increasing with
new storms north of St Louis. A new WW may be needed.
DISCUSSION...As of 2235 UTC, regional radar analysis showed a
cluster of strong to severe storms (including a few supercells) has
evolved along a cold front and remnant outflow boundary over eastern
MO and west-central IL. Temperatures have warmed into the upper 70s
F as the air mass has recovered in the wake of an expansive squall
line earlier today. Steep mid-level lapse rates and surface
dewpoints in the 60s to 70s F are supporting ~1000-1500 J/kg of
MLCAPE. Favorable buoyancy and increasing lift ahead of the cold
front/consolidating outflow should continue to support robust
updrafts. 40-50 kt of vertical shear will also allow for storm
organization into one or more clusters or bowing segments. Given the
favorable parameter space and the potential for organized storms,
the risk for damaging wind gusts and hail appears to be increasing.
A new weather watch is likely.

MD 0987 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 320... FOR WESTERN/MIDDLE TN...FAR NORTH-CENTRAL MS...FAR SOUTHWEST KY
Mesoscale Discussion 0987
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0518 PM CDT Sun May 26 2024
Areas affected...Western/Middle TN...Far North-Central MS...Far
Southwest KY
Concerning...Tornado Watch 320...
Valid 262218Z - 262345Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 320 continues.
SUMMARY...Isolated supercell development across western Tennessee is
possible, with storms capable of very large hail up to 3" in
diameter and tornadoes. Anything that develops may move into middle
Tennessee, so trends will be monitored for possible watch issuance
across this region.
DISCUSSION...Recent visible satellite imagery has shown increasing
vertical depth within the cumulus field over western TN. The airmass
in this region is moderately to strong buoyant, with recent
mesoanalysis estimating MLCAPE ranging from 3500 J/kg near the MS
River to 1500 J/kg across middle TN. This area is currently
displaced south and east of the stronger ascent, but there could
still be enough low-level convergence to support convective
initiation, particularly if convective attempts occur in close
proximity to one another.
Vertical shear across the region is also very strong and the
resulting environment is capable of supporting supercells capable of
all severe hazards, including very large hail up to 3" in diameter
and tornadoes. A portion of this region is in Tornado Watch 320, but
trends will need to be monitored closely to ensure that areas across
middle TN are covered if trends merit.

Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely
SUMMARY...Isolated supercell thunderstorms will continue to develop
through the remainder of the afternoon and into early evening. Very
large hail, up to 2.5 inches in diameter, will be possible, along
with the risk for a couple of tornadoes.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles

MD 0986 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH LIKELY FOR WESTERN VIRGINIA
Mesoscale Discussion 0986
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0436 PM CDT Sun May 26 2024
Areas affected...Western Virginia
Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely
Valid 262136Z - 262330Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
SUMMARY...Downstream severe thunderstorm watch issuance will be
needed within the next 30 minutes to address an approaching MCS.
DISCUSSION...A well-organized QLCS continues to push east across the
southern Appalachians and has a history of producing damaging (50-60
mph) winds. GOES imagery shows that this line continues to produce
robust embedded updrafts despite moving into a region with weaker
deep-layer shear. This may be due to compensating effects from
higher SBCAPE on the eastern side of the Appalachians. Given the
buoyant air mass and steep low-level lapse rates downstream, the
severe/damaging wind threat should continue. Watch issuance is
likely within the next 30 minutes.

720 PM EDT Sun May 26 2024
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
East-Central Illinois
South-Central Indiana
* Effective this Sunday night from 720 PM until Midnight EDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely
Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible
SUMMARY...A band of thunderstorms is forecast to intensify across
Illinois and move east into portions of central and southern Indiana
during the evening. Damaging gusts will be the primary severe
hazard, although large hail is possible before the evolving
thunderstorm band becomes more extensive into the mid evening.

Upstate South Carolina
* Effective this Sunday evening from 640 PM until 1100 PM EDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely
Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible
SUMMARY...Widely scattered thunderstorms are forecast to pose a
strong to severe thunderstorm risk this evening. Strong mid-level
flow will support supercell development with the stronger updrafts.
Large hail and severe gusts (55-70 mph) are the primary hazards with
the stronger storms.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 40
statute miles north and south of a line from 20 miles northwest of

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 316...317...318...
Valid 262100Z - 262230Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 316, 317,
318 continues.
SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Severe Thunderstorm
Watches 316-318. Strong wind gusts are the main threat with a
persistent QLCS. Large hail is also possible across far eastern TN
and western NC, where supercells are ongoing.
DISCUSSION...A long-lived QLCS with a history of wind damage
continues to move eastward across the central Appalachians, where
surface temperatures are above the 80 F mark. As such, enough
buoyancy exists to support strong wind gust potential with the QLCS
for at least a few more hours. Along the TN/VA border area,
supercell development has recently occurred, where MLCAPE has also
climbed to over 2000 J/kg, coincident with 50+ kts of effective bulk
shear. Here, large hail is also a concern in addition to strong wind
gusts.

MD 0982 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF WESTERN AND SOUTHERN SOUTH DAKOTA INTO WESTERN AND NORTHERN NEBRASKA
Mesoscale Discussion 0982
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0306 PM CDT Sun May 26 2024
Areas affected...portions of western and southern South Dakota into
western and northern Nebraska
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 262006Z - 262230Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...A couple instances of large hail or severe gusts are
possible through the remainder of the afternoon. Given the sparse
nature of the severe threat, a WW issuance is not expected.
DISCUSSION...Scattered multicellular/briefly transient supercellular
thunderstorms have been percolating in intensity over the past few
hours, with at least 1 report received of hail over 1 inch in
diameter. These storms are developing over marginally buoyant
airmass characterized by mainly steep low-level lapse rates. Given
limited deep-layer shear, any storm that becomes strong should only
do so for short periods of time, and a brief burst of marginally
severe hail/wind cannot be completely ruled out. Some storms may
merge cold pools later this afternoon, which may increase the severe
gust threat slightly. Nonetheless, the severe threat will be
isolated and brief at best, precluding the need of a WW issuance.

MD 0980 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY FOR FROM PARTS OF SOUTHERN AND SOUTHEAST MISSOURI INTO FAR NORTHEAST ARKANSAS...SOUTHERN ILLINOIS...AND ACROSS THE MISSOURI BOOTHEEL AND SURROUNDING AREAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0980
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0238 PM CDT Sun May 26 2024
Areas affected...from parts of southern and southeast Missouri into
far northeast Arkansas...southern Illinois...and across the Missouri
Bootheel and surrounding areas
Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely
Valid 261938Z - 262215Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent
SUMMARY...A strong tornado situation appears to be developing for
later this afternoon and into the early evening. In addition, very
large hail and eventual significant damaging winds may develop
across the region.
DISCUSSION...Satellite imagery shows heating and rapid air mass
recovery across southeast MO, where boundary layer clouds are
developing, and, satellite derived PWAT indicates ample moisture.
This is ahead of a cold front which is currently northwest of St.
Louis and extends into southeast KS near a weak low. Surface
observations show a very moist air mass with mid 70s F dewpoints
spreading north out of AR, MS, and western TN as well, just south of
the old/dissipating outflow boundary.
A special 18Z LZK sounding shows strong shear, steep midlevel lapse
rates and ample moisture. A capping inversion exits just above 850
mb, however, much less capping exists farther north into MO where
lift will be increasing ahead of the surface trough. Forecast
soundings across this region strong favor tornadic supercells as
well, along with very large hail. Depending on storm mode later this
evening, widespread damaging winds could also materialize.
As such, the 20Z outlook will be upgraded to MODERATE RISK for the
developing situation.

Eastern West Virginia
* Effective this Sunday evening from 605 PM until 1100 PM EDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
SUMMARY...An organized and long-lived squall line will likely
continue into the Watch area this evening across western Virginia
northward into far western Maryland. Strong to severe gusts ranging
from 50-70 mph will be capable of wind damage. Farther south, a
couple of strong to severe thunderstorm clusters will probably move
into north-central North Carolina during the evening and potentially
pose a risk for large hail and damaging gusts.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 45
statute miles east and west of a line from 35 miles west northwest
of Martinsburg WV to 40 miles southeast of Greensboro NC. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0458 PM CDT Sun May 26 2024
Valid 281200Z - 031200Z
Fire weather concerns are expected to remain generally low in the
extended, with large-scale ridging expected over the western US.
This will limit concerns over the Desert Southwest and High Plains
where fuels are the driest. Occasional periods of localized Elevated
and spotty Critical fire weather concerns will be possible in lee of
the higher terrain across central and southern New Mexico, where
downslope breezes will overlap single digit relative humidity and
very warm temperatures, mainly on D3/Tue and D4/Wed. Overall, this
threat looks to remain isolated and short in duration.
Late in the period on D6/Friday, a trough across the Intermountain
West will track into the Central Plains, with surface troughing
strengthening again across the High Plains. Elevated to Critical
fire weather may return across New Mexico into western Texas.
Differences in long range model solutions leads to low confidence in
the overall pattern and including areas at this time.
