WW 125 SEVERE TSTM IL KS MO 181755Z - 190100Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 125 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1255 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Central and Southern Illinois Extreme Southeast Kansas Central and Southern Missouri * Effective this Thursday afternoon and evening from 1255 PM until 800 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage and intensity is expected to increase over the next few hours along and ahead of a cold front moving southeastward through the region. Environmental conditions support strong to severe storms. Storms along the front will likely grow into a convective line, with damaging gusts from 45 to 65 mph as the primary hazard. More cellular development is possible ahead of the line, with large hail up to 2" in diameter as the primary hazard. A tornado or two is also possible, particularly within intense portions of the convective line. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 70 statute miles north and south of a line from 20 miles north northwest of Joplin MO to 20 miles east southeast of Salem IL. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5). 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. && AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 25035. ...Mosier Read more

MD 0487 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 127... FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI
Mesoscale Discussion 0487 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0555 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024 Areas affected...Portions of central Mississippi Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 127... Valid 182255Z - 190030Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 127 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Severe Thunderstorm Watch 127, especially with an established supercell over western portions of the watch. DISCUSSION...KDGX radar data as of 2250Z depicts a well-established right-moving supercell over west-central MS -- embedded at the leading edge of what appears to be a remnant MCV. Over the next couple of hours, this supercell could maintain intensity as it continues tracking east-southeastward along the southern periphery of an outflow boundary. East-southeasterly storm-relative inflow will support continued surface-based streamwise vorticity, given clockwise low-level hodograph curvature (around 150 m2/s2 0-1km SRH per DGX VWP). Low-level shear may be modestly enhanced ahead of and to the right of the aforementioned MCV. Locally damaging winds and isolated hail (up to 1.5 inches) are the most likely concerns with this storm, though a brief tornado cannot be ruled out if it remains surface-based. ..Weinman.. 04/18/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0489 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 128... FOR PORTIONS OF CENTRAL TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0489 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0637 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024 Areas affected...Portions of central Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 128... Valid 182337Z - 190100Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 128 continues. SUMMARY...The risk of isolated large hail and severe gusts continues across portions of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 128. DISCUSSION...After several cell mergers and earlier hail reports (up to 2.25 inches in diameter) over parts of central TX, a locally upscale-grown cluster with two embedded supercells has developed. This evolution has been aided by a mostly straight hodograph/crosswise vorticity and very steep deep-layer lapse rates/strong outflow generation. Strong/deep buoyancy (2500-3000 J/kg MLCAPE) ahead of the embedded supercells and aforementioned hodograph shape will continue to support large hail to near 2 inches in diameter. Additionally, the upscale growth could also favor an increasing severe-wind risk (around 60-70 mph) as the cluster tracks slowly south-southeastward this evening. ..Weinman.. 04/18/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0488 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 125... FOR SOUTHEAST MO INTO SOUTHERN IL...EXTREME SOUTHWEST IN...AND WESTERN KY
Mesoscale Discussion 0488 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0612 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024 Areas affected...Southeast MO into southern IL...extreme southwest IN...and western KY Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 125... Valid 182312Z - 190045Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 125 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for severe hail and wind, along with an embedded tornado or two, will spread quickly eastward this evening. Eventual downstream watch issuance is likely. DISCUSSION...A broken line of thunderstorms moving across east-central/southeast MO into southwest IL has shown signs of accelerating eastward early this evening, as new cells have merged into the line near/north of the St. Louis area. Increasing outbound velocities have been noted from the KLSX radar, and damaging wind gusts of 60-75 mph may become an increasing threat through the evening as the line of storms moves quickly eastward into a region where modestly strong heating occurred this afternoon. Meanwhile, moderate instability will continue to support a hail threat with any embedded supercells. A modest increase in low-level flow/shear is expected ahead of the line this evening into south-central/southeast IL and southwest IN, which will support a threat of an tornado or two, both with any embedded supercells, and also with stronger QLCS mesovortices. The line of storms will likely approach the edge of WW 125 between 00-01Z, with downstream watch issuance likely into parts of southeast IL and southwest IN. ..Dean/Guyer.. 04/18/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
