SPC 1200Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1152 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 Valid 251200Z - 261200Z ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE TEXAS SOUTH PLAINS AND VICINITY... ...SUMMARY... A concentrated area of severe thunderstorms is forecast over the Texas South Plains and vicinity during the late afternoon and evening. Large hail and localized wind damage appears likely. ...Synopsis... An upper low will drop south off the West Coast, with moderate southwest winds aloft from CA into the Great Basin and Rockies. To the east, height rises will occur over the Plains, with 500 mb temperatures about 2 C warmer than on Thursday. East of there, a weak midlevel trough will proceed across the MS/OH/TN Valleys, supporting scattered daytime thunderstorms from Lake Erie to MS. At the surface, high pressure will build south into the northern and central Plains, with a quasi-stationary front near the latitude of the Red River at 00Z. South of this boundary, a moist and unstable air mass will remain, and backed low-level winds will maintain westward moisture transport into the heated high Plains. The result will likely be cluster of slow-moving severe storms over a relatively concentrated area over West Texas. ...Extreme eastern NM...West TX...southwest OK... Linger storms may be ongoing over parts of KS and OK early in the day, but a weakening trend is anticipated as the driving warm advection out of the southwest dwindles. Then, strong heating will occur over much of West TX and NM, with the large-scale boundary roughly along I-40. Easterly surface winds will maintain 60s F dewpoints, and by late afternoon, MUCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg is forecast. Storms are likely to develop both along this boundary, and farther west near the NM/TX border. Although midlevel winds will be a bit weaker than on Thursday, slow-moving storms, including isolated supercells, are expected. Localized significant hail, damaging outflows, and a brief tornado will all be possible through early evening. Cluster of storms with heavy rain and strong gusts may persist overnight into portions of northwest TX as well. ..Jewell/Halbert.. 04/25/2025 Read more

MD 0554 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 170... FOR NORTHWEST INTO CENTRAL OK
Mesoscale Discussion 0554 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1035 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 Areas affected...Northwest into central OK Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 170... Valid 250335Z - 250500Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 170 continues. SUMMARY...Some severe threat will spread east/southeast late tonight, though the longevity of the threat is uncertain. DISCUSSION...After being confined to northwest OK for much of the evening, an long-lived storm cluster has shown some east-southeastward acceleration over the last hour. In the short term, this cluster may continue to pose a threat of hail, localized severe gusts, and possibly a tornado, as it moves through a moderately unstable and favorably sheared environment. However, increasing MLCINH with time and southeastward extent renders uncertainty regarding the longevity of the severe threat into the overnight hours. There may be some tendency for the ongoing cluster to propagate eastward along a weakly confluent surface boundary, with some potential for redevelopment of convection along/behind the trailing outflow. There is also some potential for ongoing convection in the TX Panhandle to eventually spread eastward into west-central/northwest OK, with at least an isolated severe threat. ..Dean.. 04/25/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0553 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 167... FOR OK/TX PANHANDLES INTO THE TX SOUTH PLAINS
Mesoscale Discussion 0553 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0851 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 Areas affected...OK/TX Panhandles into the TX South Plains Concerning...Tornado Watch 167... Valid 250151Z - 250315Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 167 continues. SUMMARY...Supercells with very large hail and a tornado threat may continue into late evening. DISCUSSION...A cluster of supercells with a history of producing very large hail is ongoing at 0145 UTC across the northeast TX Panhandle. While MLCINH is gradually increasing, some rightward motion has recently been noted with these cells, indicative of some increase in cell organization. Some tornado threat may yet evolve with these cells, given the presence of strong instability and modestly enlarged low-level hodographs per the KAMA VWP. Otherwise, large to very large hail and localized severe gusts will remain possible with the strongest of these cells as they propagate southeastward. Farther south, a cell with notable deviant rightward motion is moving southward into Garza County. This cell has a history of producing tornadoes and is likely producing very large to giant hail. An imminent collision with a northeastward-moving left-mover may disrupt this cell, though the cell/outflow interaction may briefly lead to an uptick in tornado potential. The long-lived cell over southern Motley County may also continue to pose a threat of all severe hazards over the next 1-2 hours. Eventually, increasing MLCINH should lead to weakening of ongoing discrete storms, though some threat may still persist to near or after the 11 PM CDT expiration time of WW 167. ..Dean.. 04/25/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0552 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 169... FOR SOUTHEASTERN COLORADO INTO WESTERN KANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0552 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0813 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 Areas affected...Southeastern Colorado into Western Kansas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 169... Valid 250113Z - 250245Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 169 continues. SUMMARY...The severe weather threat across WW 169 continues into the evening, with large hail and damaging winds the primary hazards. Some downstream watch extensions may be necessary as a linear convective segment matures moving into western Kansas. DISCUSSION...The severe weather threat for WW 169 continues this evening, particularly across northern portions of the watch area in southeastern Colorado, as thunderstorm clusters have begun to loosely organize into a linear convective segment. While the overall coverage of severe storms has been low thus far, SPC surface mesoanalysis data show MUCAPE increasing with eastward extent, coupled with deep-layer bulk shear of 40-45 kts. This should support continued organization of the linear convective complex as it moves into western Kansas, shifting gradually from a hail/wind threat to a primarily damaging wind threat later into the evening. ..Halbert.. 04/25/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 170 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 455 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Southwest and South-Central Kansas Far Northern Oklahoma * Effective this Thursday afternoon from 455 PM until Midnight 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...Storms will persist with additional development along the Kansas-Oklahoma border vicinity, as well as other parts of west-central Kansas through early evening. Additional storms may eventually move into the region from eastern Colorado, while MCS development could occur along the Kansas/Oklahoma border vicinity. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 50 statute miles north and south of a line from 70 miles west of Garden City KS to 35 miles northeast of Medicine Lodge KS. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0). 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 166...WW 167...WW 168...WW 169...
