MD 1337 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF THE TEXAS SOUTH PLAINS AND PANHANDLE INTO FAR SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA
Mesoscale Discussion 1337
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0544 PM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025
Areas affected...Parts of the Texas South Plains and Panhandle into
far southwest Oklahoma
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 172244Z - 180045Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Severe wind gusts will likely accompany any high-based
thunderstorms that can initiate. Storm development/coverage is
uncertain, though trends are being monitored for a possible watch.
DISCUSSION...Visible satellite imagery shows increasingly agitated
high-based cumulus developing along a dryline extending across the
TX South Plains. Radar data from LBB also shows continued attempts
at convective initiation within the zone of low-level ascent. If a
couple storms can develop within this corridor, a deeply mixed
boundary layer (characterized by an inverted-V sounding) and
sufficient instability would promote severe downbursts (and possibly
some severe hail) with any sustained high-based storms. Storm
development/sustenance and overall coverage is somewhat uncertain,
though trends are being monitored for a possible watch.

MD 1338 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 429... FOR PARTS OF THE EASTERN OK/TX PANHANDLES INTO FAR NORTHWEST OK
Mesoscale Discussion 1338
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0605 PM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025
Areas affected...Parts of the eastern OK/TX Panhandles into far
northwest OK
Concerning...Tornado Watch 429...
Valid 172305Z - 180000Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 429 continues.
SUMMARY...Intensification of an ongoing discrete supercell is
possible as it continues southeastward over the next couple hours --
with an associated risk of supercell tornadoes.
DISCUSSION...A discrete supercell has developed over the OK
Panhandle, within a localized zone of surface convergence. Strongly
unstable inflow for this storm and large streamwise vorticity
(250-300 m2/s2 effective SRH) will support the intensification of
this storm as it tracks southeastward over the next couple hours. If
this occurs, supercell tornadoes and large hail will both be
concerns.

MD 1336 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 428... FOR CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS
Mesoscale Discussion 1336
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0516 PM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025
Areas affected...Central High Plains
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 428...
Valid 172216Z - 172345Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 428
continues.
SUMMARY...Damaging winds may accompany convection as it spreads
southeast this evening. It's not entirely clear whether a new WW
will be warranted downstream across eastern Colorado into western
Kansas.
DISCUSSION...Water-vapor imagery depicts a well-defined short-wave
trough ejecting east-southeast across eastern WY/northeast CO.
Scattered strong/severe convection has developed ahead of this
feature, especially across the central High Plains where an MCS is
maturing. Latest radar imagery suggests a gradually expanding precip
shield over northeast CO into southwest NE. The leading edge of this
activity is likely generating near-severe wind gusts, but the
downstream air mass has not fully recovered from earlier convective
overturning. Large-scale support favors this MCS propagating across
the remainder of northeast CO toward northwest KS and there is some
concern the organized nature of this cluster will continue to
produce locally severe winds. It's not clear whether a new severe
thunderstorm watch will be issued, but it under consideration.

340 PM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Tornado Watch for portions of
Southern Kansas
Northern Oklahoma
Northeast Texas Panhandle
* Effective this Tuesday afternoon and evening from 340 PM until
1000 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
A couple tornadoes possible
Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
mph likely
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
inches in diameter likely
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to rapidly develop this
afternoon along an axis from the northeast Texas Panhandle into
southeast Kansas. Supercell thunderstorms are expected with a risk
of very large hail, damaging winds, and a few tornadoes.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 70 statute miles
north and south of a line from 110 miles west southwest of Alva OK
to 10 miles southeast of Chanute KS. For a complete depiction of the
watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU9).
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.

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 430
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
605 PM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Southwest Oklahoma
Texas South Plains into Northwest Texas
* Effective this Tuesday evening from 605 PM until 1100 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
SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development is anticipated across the Texas
South Plains this afternoon. High storm bases and a deeply mixed
boundary layer suggest that some of these storms could produce
strong outflow capable of strong/severe gusts. Isolated hail is
possible as well, particularly with the early-stage development.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 45
statute miles north and south of a line from 15 miles west of
Lubbock TX to 40 miles east northeast of Altus OK. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU0).
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.
&&
OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 429...
AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A

MD 1335 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 429... FOR PARTS OF SOUTH-CENTRAL KANSAS INTO FAR NORTH-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
Mesoscale Discussion 1335
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0443 PM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025
Areas affected...Parts of south-central Kansas into far
north-central Oklahoma
Concerning...Tornado Watch 429...
Valid 172143Z - 172315Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 429 continues.
SUMMARY...Parts of south-central Kansas is the most favorable
corridor for a couple supercell tornadoes during the next couple
hours -- within Tornado Watch 429.
DISCUSSION...A semi-discrete supercell is evolving just north of a
remnant outflow boundary intersection over far south-central KS this
afternoon. Along and north of the boundary, an earlier sheltered
boundary layer (with backed easterly surface winds) has destabilized
substantially, with temperatures in the lower/middle 80s amid upper
60s/lower 70s dewpoints. This strongly unstable surface-based air,
combined with around 50 kt of effective shear, will favor
intensification of the ongoing supercell and additional cells that
develop on its flanks. Additionally, a large clockwise-curved
hodograph (200-250 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH) per earlier VWP data and
mesoanalysis will support a couple supercell tornadoes with any
sustained supercells in this corridor over the next couple hours.

SPC Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 3-8 Fire Weather Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0451 PM CDT Tue Jun 17 2025
Valid 191200Z - 251200Z
...Day 3-4/Thursday-Friday...
An upper-level trough will begin to enter the Pacific Northwest Day
3/Thursday while upper-level ridging shifts eastward into the
Plains. Increased mid-level flow atop a dry/well-mixed boundary
layer will bring an expansive fire weather threat much of the Great
Basin and Colorado Plateau in the form of breezy southwest winds and
low relative humidity. A mid-level wind maxima rounding the southern
periphery of an upper-level low then pushing into the Pacific
Northwest will support even stronger southwest winds of 20-30 mph
(locally higher in favored downslope regions) across much of
central/southern Utah, northern Arizona and far western Colorado as
well as northwestern Nevada where fuels have become increasingly
supportive of wildfire spread. 70 percent probability of Critical
fire weather conditions have been maintained and expanded within
these areas.
...Day 5-8/Saturday-Tuesday...
The warm, dry and breezy conditions supportive of wildfire growth in
dry fuels will shift southeastward towards the upper Colorado River
Basin and northern Arizona by the weekend. Magnitude of winds will
wane by early next week as mid-level flow relaxes and shifts
northeastward. However, the combination of increasingly dry fuels,
drought and lack of rainfall will support an ongoing fire weather
threat through Day 8/Tuesday across much of southeastern Utah,
northern Arizona and far western Colorado.
...California Central Valley...
Dry, post-frontal northerly flow along with low relative humidity
and cured grasses will support at least an Elevated fire weather
threat on Day 5/Saturday across the Central Valley.
