WW 182 SEVERE TSTM KS NE OK 040245Z - 040900Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 182 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 945 PM CDT Fri May 3 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Central and Northeast Kansas Southeast Nebraska Northern Oklahoma * Effective this Friday night and Saturday morning from 945 PM until 400 AM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...Multiple well-organized squall lines will continue to progress eastward into the overnight within an increasingly moist air mass across southern Nebraska/far northern Kansas as well as central Kansas. Other areas of strong to severe storms will likely persist across northern Oklahoma. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles east and west of a line from 35 miles north northeast of Beatrice NE to 85 miles southwest of Enid OK. 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. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 178...WW 179...WW 180...WW 181... AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean storm motion vector 26035. ...Guyer Read more

MD 0624 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 179... FOR PORTIONS OF THE EDWARDS PLATEAU OF TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0624 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0938 PM CDT Fri May 03 2024 Areas affected...portions of the Edwards Plateau of Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 179... Valid 040238Z - 040445Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 179 continues. SUMMARY...Local severe risk may continue for another 1 to 2 hours. While a local extension of the WW in time may be needed locally, new WW issuance is not expected. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows storms gradually diminishing in general across the region, in and near WW 179. The strongest storms are ongoing now over the Kimble county vicinity, where large hail is indicated per recent WSR-88D data. While an overall decrease in storms should continue, and is supported by various CAMs, the Kimble county convection may continue for the next hour or two, shifting slowly southward/south-southeastward with time. Severe risk in this area appears sufficient to warrant a local extension of WW 179 beyond its scheduled 04/03Z expiration. ..Goss.. 05/04/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0623 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH LIKELY FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA...CENTRAL KANSAS...SOUTHEAST NEBRASKA
Mesoscale Discussion 0623 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0926 PM CDT Fri May 03 2024 Areas affected...Portions of northwest Oklahoma...central Kansas...southeast Nebraska Concerning...Severe potential...Severe Thunderstorm Watch likely Valid 040226Z - 040430Z Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent SUMMARY...The environment should remain supportive of large hail and severe wind gusts over the next few hours. A low-end tornado threat will also exist, particularly for remaining discrete storms. A new severe thunderstorm watch is likely. DISCUSSION...Convection within the central/southern Plains continues to move eastward this evening. Regional VAD wind show and increase in the low-level jet (40-50 kts). Along with the low-level jet, 60+ F dewpoints and observed steep mid-level lapse rates will continue to support some threat for large hail and severe wind gusts. Low-level hodograph curvature is evident on VAD wind profiles as well. Some tornado threat will exist, though the primarily linear storm mode should limit a greater threat. A new severe thunderstorm watch will likely be needed for at least parts of areas from northwest Oklahoma into southeast Nebraska. ..Wendt/Guyer.. 05/04/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 180 SEVERE TSTM CO KS NM OK TX 032100Z - 040400Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 180 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 400 PM CDT Fri May 3 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Southeast Colorado Western Kansas Northeast New Mexico Oklahoma Panhandle Northern Texas Panhandle * Effective this Friday afternoon and evening from 400 PM until 1100 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...A few bands of intensifying thunderstorms will gradually move east across the Watch area this afternoon into the evening. Large hail and severe gusts will be possible with the stronger thunderstorms. Upscale growth into a squall line is forecast later this evening over southwest Kansas with severe gusts becoming the primary severe hazard. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 95 statute miles east and west of a line from 85 miles north northwest of Garden City KS to 50 miles southwest of Guymon OK. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MD 0622 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 180... FOR SOUTHWEST KANSAS INTO NORTHWEST KANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0622 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0828 PM CDT Fri May 03 2024 Areas affected...Southwest Kansas into northwest Kansas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 180... Valid 040128Z - 040330Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 180 continues. SUMMARY...Large hail and severe wind gusts remain possible even as storms may tend to become elevated later into the evening. DISCUSSION...KVNX/KDDC VAD profiles show an increase in the low-level jet. The 00Z observed DDC sounding showed very steep mid-level lapse rates though some capping was also present. Current convection in WW 180 is expected to continue eastward with aid from the low-level jet. The primary severe risk will exist with a storm near the Wichita/Kearney County line. This storm will be capable of hail up to 1.5-2 in. A line of storms is also moving east from near Garden City to just west of Beaver, OK. This line has shown some deepening cores on MRMS CAPPI and could produce severe wind gusts. The overall eastern extent of the severe risk is not clear. However, even as storms may become elevated with time, large hail and isolated damaging winds could still occur. The tornado risk is conditional on a discrete storm mode and should continue to diminish as low-level stability increases. Some areal extension of WW 180 could be needed depending on convective trends over the next 2 hours. ..Wendt.. 05/04/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0620 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR WESTERN NORTH TEXAS INTO ADJACENT SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA
Mesoscale Discussion 0620 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0727 PM CDT Fri May 03 2024 Areas affected...western North Texas into adjacent southwestern Oklahoma Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 040027Z - 040230Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Ongoing convection across North Texas -- from west of Childress to the Wichita Falls/Jacksboro/Mineral Wells vicinity -- may expand in coverage/intensity over the next couple of hours. New WW issuance could become necessary, if convection can organize further. DISCUSSION...A cluster of northeastward-moving storms west of Childress will soon exit Tornado Watch 178. Some model signal is evident that the storms could persist -- and even grow upscale a bit -- over the next couple of hours. The currently observed environment -- mixed-layer CAPE near or exceeding 3000 J/kg -- would certainly support this potential. While shear remains somewhat modest, veering winds with height are providing ample shear for mid-level updraft rotation. Additionally, other storms from near Wichita Falls south to near Mineral Wells -- within generally the same background environment -- have also maintained intensity. We will continue to monitor convective evolution in the short term. Signs of increased coverage or upscale growth of this convection could warrant WW consideration. ..Goss/Guyer.. 05/04/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
