Severe Storms

SPC 0730Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0242 AM CDT Sun Apr 28 2024 Valid 301200Z - 011200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FOR EASTERN NE...WESTERN IA...NORTHWEST MO...NORTHEAST KS... ...SUMMARY... Severe thunderstorms will be possible on Tuesday from parts of the mid/upper Mississippi Valley into the central/southern Plains. ...Synopsis... An amplified mid/upper-level shortwave trough is forecast to move eastward from the northern Rockies into parts of the northern/central Plains on Tuesday, accompanied by a strong mid/upper-level jet. A surface wave is forecast to move from the central Plains toward the upper MS Valley, with a separate low expected to largely remain in place across the southern High Plains. ...Upper MS Valley into the southern Plains... Low-level moisture will stream northward through the day from the southern Plains into the central Plains and upper MS Valley, in response to the approaching shortwave trough. While the richest moisture will likely remain displaced southward of the shortwave track, 50s to near 60F dewpoints could spread as far north as eastern NE/western IA and southern MN by Tuesday afternoon. This moistening beneath relatively steep midlevel lapse rates will support diurnal destabilization, with peak MLCAPE ranging from around 500 J/kg across southern MN to greater than 1500 J/kg across the southern Plains. Thunderstorm development is expected along a weak cold front Tuesday afternoon, as diurnal heating weakens MLCINH. The greatest coverage of storms and strongest deep-layer shear are expected from southern MN into parts of eastern NE and western IA, in closer proximity to stronger ascent attendant to the shortwave. A few stronger cells/clusters will be possible, capable of producing large hail, damaging winds, and possibly a tornado or two. Storm coverage and deep-layer shear will likely decrease with southward extent, though stronger instability into parts of KS/OK could support at least an isolated severe thunderstorm threat during the afternoon and evening. A Slight Risk has been added where confidence is greatest in overlap of greater storm coverage and shear with more favorable instability. ..Dean.. 04/28/2024 Read more

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 155 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1140 PM CDT Sat Apr 27 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Southeast Kansas Southwest Missouri * Effective this Saturday night and Sunday morning from 1140 PM until 700 AM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes possible Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75 mph likely Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...An intense bowing line will continue northeast and move across a large portion of the Watch area overnight. Strong low-level shear and a moist and unstable airmass will support the potential for embedded supercells and mesovortices capable of tornadoes and severe gusts. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 55 statute miles north and south of a line from 45 miles west southwest of Chanute KS to 70 miles east of Springfield MO. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5). 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 149...WW 150...WW 151...WW 152...WW 153...WW 154... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500.
