WW 305 SEVERE TSTM AR MS 242320Z - 250400Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 305
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
620 PM CDT Fri May 24 2024
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Southeast Arkansas
Northwest Mississippi
* Effective this Friday evening from 620 PM until 1100 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
inches in diameter possible
Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
SUMMARY...Scattered storms, some with supercell structure, may
persist for a few more hours while moving southeastward across
southeast Arkansas and northwest Mississippi. Occasional large hail
of 1-2 inches in diameter and damaging gusts of 60-70 mph will be
the main threats through late evening.

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 302
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
240 PM CDT Fri May 24 2024
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Southeast Iowa
Western and Southern Illinois
Northern and Eastern Missouri
* Effective this Friday afternoon and evening from 240 PM until
900 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
inches in diameter possible
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
A tornado or two possible
SUMMARY...Scattered strong to severe thunderstorms will continue to
develop across the region in vicinity of multiple boundaries, with
bouts of large hail and damaging winds as the primary hazards.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 80
statute miles north and south of a line from 20 miles southwest of
Kirksville MO to 40 miles south southeast of Decatur IL. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU2).
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.

Mesoscale Discussion 0940
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0539 PM CDT Fri May 24 2024
Areas affected...Eastern Oklahoma...Western Arkansas...Central and
Northeast Texas
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 303...
Valid 242239Z - 250045Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 303
continues.
SUMMARY...A threat for large hail and wind damage is expected to
increase in coverage over the next couple of hours from northeast
Texas into southeast Oklahoma and western Arkansas.
DISCUSSION...The latest hi-resolution radar imagery from Fort Worth
shows scattered strong to severe thunderstorms located in and around
the Dallas/Fort Worth Metro extending northward into southern
Oklahoma. Short-term model forecasts suggest that convective
coverage will increase, as the complex moves northeastward across
western parts of the Ark-La-Tex early this evening. Relatively
straight hodographs will be favorable for storm splits. The airmass
is extremely unstable with surface dewpoints in the mid to upper 70s
F, and MLCAPE estimated by the RAP in the 4500 to 6000 J/kg range.
In addition, the latest WSR-88D VWP at Fort Worth has 0-6 km shear
near 50 knots. This, combined with 700-500 mb lapse rates near 7.5
C/km, estimated by the RAP, will be favorable for supercells with
large hail. Hailstones greater than 2 inches in diameter will be
possible with the strongest of storms. Wind damage will also be
likely with supercells, and organized intense multicells.

MD 0941 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 302... FOR EASTERN MISSOURI INTO WESTERN ILLINOIS
Mesoscale Discussion 0941
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0619 PM CDT Fri May 24 2024
Areas affected...Eastern Missouri into western Illinois
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 302...
Valid 242319Z - 250115Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 302
continues.
SUMMARY...The severe threat will continue to shift into southern
portions of WW 302 - primarily across eastern Missouri and western
Illinois - over the next few hours.
DISCUSSION...A consolidated outflow boundary has become evident
within a cluster of semi-discrete supercells north of the St. Louis
area. MRMS data (supported by recent hail reports) indicate that the
more intense updrafts are associated with this boundary. Easterly
cell motions combined with steady 15-20 mph southerly inflow winds
are resulting in a slow southward development of this boundary,
which should act as a focus for additional thunderstorm development
over the next couple of hours. Areas west/northwest of the St. Louis
metro area may see an increase in thunderstorm coverage and
intensity over the next couple of hours as forcing for ascent along
the outflow, as well as along an approaching cold front, impinge on
the northern fringe of a strong buoyancy axis (MLCAPE upwards of
2500-3000 J/kg). Supportive kinematics should remain in place
through late evening, which will continue to support the potential
for embedded supercells along/behind the boundary with an attendant
large hail risk (most likely between 1.0 to 1.75 inches in diameter)
for the next 1-2 hours. Eventually, increasing forcing along the
cold pool/front should favor upscale growth into a
south/southeastward moving cluster down the buoyancy axis with an
increasing wind threat.
