WW 302 SEVERE TSTM IA IL MO 241940Z - 250200Z
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. && AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2 inches.

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. ..Broyles.. 05/24/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

The low level of the Rio Grande River at Zapata exposes green, grassy river banks, rocks, tires and other debris that would normally be underwater. Having enough water is a concern for Zapata as the town only has a day and a half worth of emergency water supplies. Drought, heat and the lack of water payments from Mexico have dropped the water level very low. Border Report (McAllen, Texas), May 24, 2024

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. ..Moore.. 05/24/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
