WW 135 SEVERE TSTM OK TX 260235Z - 260900Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 135 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 935 PM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Southwestern Oklahoma West and northwest Texas * Effective this Thursday night and Friday morning from 935 PM until 400 AM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts to 75 mph possible A tornado or two possible SUMMARY...Thunderstorms initially developing near the TX/NM line over the Permian Basin/South Plains region should move northeastward and evolve into an organized cluster or complex. Large to very large hail and sporadic severe gusts are possible the first few hours, transitioning to more of an organized wind threat with isolated large hail. A tornado or two also may occur. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles north and south of a line from 35 miles northwest of Midland TX to 35 miles south of Altus OK. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5). 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 133... AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 3 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean storm motion vector 23045. ...Edwards Read more

Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0226 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024 Valid 281200Z - 291200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST TX INTO PARTS OF THE MID/UPPER MS VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... Strong to potentially severe thunderstorms will be possible Sunday across a broad area from northeast Texas into parts of the upper Mississippi Valley. Large hail, damaging winds, and a couple tornadoes will all be possible. ...Northeast TX into parts of the upper MS Valley... A broad region of at least some severe potential is expected on Sunday from northeast TX into parts of the upper MS Valley. Uncertainty remains high due to the influence of extensive antecedent convection leading into the D3/Sunday period. A negatively tilted shortwave trough and attendant surface low are forecast to move from the central Plains toward the upper MS Valley on Sunday. Extensive convection will likely be ongoing at the start of the period from Texas toward the lower MO Valley, and potentially farther north into parts of the upper Midwest. Some lingering severe threat could accompany this morning convection, especially toward the ArkLaTex region where somewhat more favorable moisture/instability will be in place. Widespread cloudiness/convection across much of the warm sector will tend to limit diurnal destabilization, though deep-layer shear will remain favorable for organized storms, and some heating/destabilization will be possible in the wake of morning convection. One area of potential redevelopment will be immediately ahead of the ejecting shortwave trough from eastern KS into western MO and southern IA, where a few stronger cells/clusters could pose a threat of hail, isolated damaging gusts, and perhaps a tornado. Vigorous redevelopment will also be possible along the western/southern periphery of persistent convection near the ArkLaTex region, where rich moisture and favorable wind profiles could support at least an isolated threat for all severe hazards. Some threat could linger into Sunday night across this area, potentially aided by an upstream low-amplitude shortwave trough that will be approaching the southern Plains. ..Dean.. 04/26/2024 Read more

One area of potential redevelopment will be immediately ahead of the ejecting shortwave trough from eastern KS into western MO and southern IA, where a few stronger cells/clusters could pose a threat of hail, isolated damaging gusts, and perhaps a tornado. Vigorous redevelopment will also be possible along the western/southern periphery of persistent convection near the ArkLaTex region, where rich moisture and favorable wind profiles could support at least an isolated threat for all severe hazards. Some threat could linger into Sunday night across this area, potentially aided by an upstream low-amplitude shortwave trough that will be approaching the southern Plains. ..Dean.. 04/26/2024 Read more

SPC 0730Z Day 3 Outlook
Day 3 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0226 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024 Valid 281200Z - 291200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM NORTHEAST TX INTO PARTS OF THE MID/UPPER MS VALLEY... ...SUMMARY... Strong to potentially severe thunderstorms will be possible Sunday across a broad area from northeast Texas into parts of the upper Mississippi Valley. Large hail, damaging winds, and a couple tornadoes will all be possible. ...Northeast TX into parts of the upper MS Valley... A broad region of at least some severe potential is expected on Sunday from northeast TX into parts of the upper MS Valley. Uncertainty remains high due to the influence of extensive antecedent convection leading into the D3/Sunday period. A negatively tilted shortwave trough and attendant surface low are forecast to move from the central Plains toward the upper MS Valley on Sunday. Extensive convection will likely be ongoing at the start of the period from Texas toward the lower MO Valley, and potentially farther north into parts of the upper Midwest. Some lingering severe threat could accompany this morning convection, especially toward the ArkLaTex region where somewhat more favorable moisture/instability will be in place. Widespread cloudiness/convection across much of the warm sector will tend to limit diurnal destabilization, though deep-layer shear will remain favorable for organized storms, and some heating/destabilization will be possible in the wake of morning convection. One area of potential redevelopment will be immediately ahead of the ejecting shortwave trough from eastern KS into western MO and southern IA, where a few stronger cells/clusters could pose a threat of hail, isolated damaging gusts, and perhaps a tornado.
