MD 2176 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 697... FOR SOUTHWEST MO
Mesoscale Discussion 2176 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1107 PM CDT Wed Oct 30 2024 Areas affected...southwest MO Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 697... Valid 310407Z - 310500Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 697 continues. SUMMARY...A threat for a couple tornadoes and damaging wind swaths may persist across southwest Missouri into the early morning. DISCUSSION...A tornadic supercell in far northeast OK has recently merged into the broader convective line that extends across much of MO from the northeast to the southwest. The Springfield VWP ahead of this line supports a rather enlarged low-level hodograph with 0-1 km SRH around 500 m2/s2. Tornado potential will persist where surface dew points can remain at or above 64 F, which currently extend as far northeast as the SGF area. An embedded bowing structure that has formed north of the merged supercell should yield an uptick in damaging wind potential as well across southwest MO. With time, convection will spread farther to the northeast and away from the increasingly confined instability plume. This suggests the primary severe threat will be over the next couple hours. ..Grams.. 10/31/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...SGF...

MD 2175 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR EASTERN TO SOUTHERN OK...NORTHWEST AR...AND NORTH TX
Mesoscale Discussion 2175 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1043 PM CDT Wed Oct 30 2024 Areas affected...eastern to southern OK...northwest AR...and north TX Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 310343Z - 310445Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...While the overall severe threat has diminished, potential for sporadic severe wind gusts, marginally severe hail, and a brief tornado or two may persist into the early morning. Replacement of WW 696 with a broader severe thunderstorm watch is possible. DISCUSSION...A linear convective band running the length of OK from the northeast to southwest, and an emerging line over the TX Big Country should persist eastward overnight. The OK convection has been undercut by convective outflows with a distinct waning of overall convective intensity during the past hour. Still, with a plume of moderate buoyancy characterized by 1000-1500 J/kg MLCAPE from north TX into east-central OK, it is plausible that an uptick in storm intensification might occur as the front impinges on the plume. The front should accelerate overnight, while low-level winds ahead of it become more veered. This will shrink hodograph curvature and suggests sporadic strong to localized severe gusts and marginal severe hail should be the main hazards. ..Grams/Hart.. 10/31/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 696 TORNADO OK 302255Z - 310500Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 696 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 555 PM CDT Wed Oct 30 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Northeast Oklahoma * Effective this Wednesday afternoon from 555 PM until Midnight CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 80 mph possible Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...A line of storms over north-central Oklahoma will continue to intensify and spread eastward through the evening, posing a risk for damaging winds gusts and a few tornadoes. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles east and west of a line from 15 miles northeast of Bartlesville OK to 60 miles south of Chandler OK. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6). 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. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 693...WW 694...WW 695...

MD 2174 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 694...696... FOR CENTRAL AND EASTERN OK
Mesoscale Discussion 2174 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0915 PM CDT Wed Oct 30 2024 Areas affected...central and eastern OK Concerning...Tornado Watch 694...696... Valid 310215Z - 310345Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 694, 696 continues. SUMMARY...An all-hazards severe threat will persist through midnight, with the risk for a couple tornadoes greater over northeast to east-central Oklahoma. DISCUSSION...An extensive linear convective band along the cold front has a history of sporadic wind damage from severe gusts, measured recently to 71 mph at the Fort Cobb OK-Mesonet. A separate, nearly linear convective line has separately evolved out of earlier semi-discrete convection along the far southeast KS/northeast OK border area. The frontal convection continues to be largely undercut by outflows along it, limiting potential for sustained low-level mesocyclones. The threat for a couple tornadoes may be greatest along the southern portion of the lead convective band and with any discrete supercells that might be sustained from southeast into east-central OK. Otherwise, the expectation is for a continued sporadic severe wind threat and isolated hail. ..Grams.. 10/31/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...SGF...TSA...OUN...

MD 2173 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR WESTERN AND CENTRAL MISSOURI
Mesoscale Discussion 2173 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0900 PM CDT Wed Oct 30 2024 Areas affected...western and central Missouri Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 310200Z - 310330Z Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent SUMMARY...A maturing QLCS and more isolated convection ahead of it are evolving across eastern KS and southwest MO. The risk for damaging winds and isolated tornadoes should increase this evening. A new WW may be needed, but the eastern extent remains unclear. DISCUSSION...As of 0150 UTC, regional radar and satellite imagery showed the QLCS over eastern KS and far western MO has increased in organization and intensity this evening. With multiple embedded bowing segments, several damaging wind reports and measured severe gusts have been reported so far. Storms should approach the eastern edge of WW 659 over the next 1-2 hours. The environment downstream across central MO is unstable, but buoyancy decreases with eastern extent. Strong deep-layer shear of 50-60 kt remains in place supporting storm organization. This could support a risk for damaging winds across central MO this evening, particularly with the southern half of the QLCS. Low-level shear is also strong beneath the core of a 50 kt low-level jet. Isolated mesovortex tornadoes will be possible with the stronger bowing segments. The primary uncertainty remains the limited buoyancy with northeastward extent. Recent HRRR guidance suggests the QLCS will remain fairly well organized to continue posing a severe risk into south-central MO. Given the potential for a continued severe threat a new WW is being considered. ..Lyons/Hart.. 10/31/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
