Severe Storms

SPC 1300Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0753 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024 Valid 261300Z - 271200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING ACROSS NORTHEAST KS/SOUTHEAST NE/NORTHWEST MO/SOUTHWEST IA... ...SUMMARY... A few tornadoes, including a couple of strong tornadoes, isolated very large hail (greater than 2 inch diameter) and isolated wind damage will be possible, mainly this afternoon/evening from northeast Kansas/southeast Nebraska into northwest Missouri and southwest Iowa. Occasional severe storms are expected farther south into Arkansas, eastern Oklahoma and northeast Texas. ...Mid MO Valley to TX through tonight... A complex surface pattern is evident this morning with a cyclone in northern KS, a trailing dryline/Pacific front into western OK, and the east edge of the warm sector demarcated by a warm front from eastern OK into eastern KS. An ongoing QLCS with occasional wind damage and tornado reports is moving across eastern OK near the warm front, with an area of rain-cooled/overturned in OK in the wake of these storms. Farther north, an undisturbed portion of the warm sector extends across central KS. The eastern OK convection will likely persist through the day toward western AR, with additional expansion of rain/thunderstorms farther northeast into southwest/central MO. The OK/AR portion of this convection will be the most likely to maintain access to the surface warm sector through the day, where a mix of bowing segments or embedded supercells will be possible with all hazards. The clouds/rain will slow the northeastward progress of the warm sector, and northward advection of the overturned airmass in OK will potentially impact the breadth and quality of the unstable warm sector this afternoon. Assuming sufficient recovery during the day, there will be a window of opportunity for tornadic supercells along the dryline this afternoon/evening starting in northeast KS/southeast NE and spreading into northwest MO/southwest IA. MLCAPE at or above 2000 J/kg, boundary-layer dewpoints in the mid 60s, and sufficiently long hodographs with low-level hodograph curvature (effective bulk shear in excess of 50 kt, and effective SRH of 200-300 m2/s2) suggest the potential for a couple of strong tornadoes with any persistent, semi-discrete supercells. Isolated very large hail (in excess of 2 inches in diameter) will also be possible, while the potential for a few damaging gusts will accompany any upscale growth into line segments this evening. Additional thunderstorm development will be possible today farther southwest into TX, in association with weak height falls on the southern fringe of the ejecting midlevel trough. The 12z FWD sounding showed only a weak cap, so the SLGT has been expanded some to the southwest to account for large hail/wind damage potential today. Storms will likely weaken by this evening as weak height rises commence and the remnant dryline begins to retreat to the west. ..Thompson/Guyer.. 04/26/2024 Read more

WW 137 SEVERE TSTM OK TX 260825Z - 261300Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 137 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 325 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Southern Oklahoma Extreme north Texas * Effective this Friday morning from 325 AM until 800 AM 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 line of storms appears to be organizing near and north of the Red River, and these storms will spread east-northeastward through the early morning hours. Damaging winds of 60-70 mph will be the main threat, along with occasional large hail of 1-1.5 inches in diameter. A tornado or two will also be possible with circulations embedded in the line. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles north and south of a line from 20 miles south southwest of Fort Sill OK to 55 miles north northeast of Durant OK. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7). 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 135... 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 500. Mean storm motion vector 25040. ...Thompson Read more

MD 0523 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 137... FOR CENTRAL INTO EASTERN OK
Mesoscale Discussion 0523 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0512 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024 Areas affected...Central into eastern OK Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 137... Valid 261012Z - 261145Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 137 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for severe gusts and a couple brief tornadoes will spread eastward early this morning. DISCUSSION...A QLCS has recently intensified from central into southern OK, with a possible QLCS tornado recently noted east of Norman. The 08Z OUN sounding depicted minimal MLCINH, and similar surface conditions are noted farther east into east-central/southeast OK, to the west of an outflow reinforced boundary across northeast OK. Rather strong low-level shear and SRH were noted on the 08Z OUN sounding and pre-storm KTLX VWP, and some threat for embedded mesocyclones and QLCS tornadoes (along with isolated severe gusts) may spread eastward into the moderately unstable environment downstream. A small downstream watch issuance is possible within the hour. ..Dean/Thompson.. 04/26/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...TSA...FWD...OUN...
