WW 168 SEVERE TSTM NM TX 242100Z - 250300Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 168 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 400 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Far Southeast New Mexico West Texas * Effective this Thursday afternoon and evening from 400 PM until 1000 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3 inches in diameter possible Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible SUMMARY...Isolated thunderstorms are forecast to develop through the late afternoon and early evening. The stronger storms will likely become supercellular and pose mainly a threat for large to very large hail. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 70 statute miles east and west of a line from 65 miles north northwest of Big Spring TX to 25 miles west southwest of Dryden TX. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8). 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... AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 3 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 31015. ...Smith Read more

MD 0548 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 167... FOR TX/OK PANHANDLES INTO THE TX SOUTH PLAINS
Mesoscale Discussion 0548 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0634 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 Areas affected...TX/OK Panhandles into the TX South Plains Concerning...Tornado Watch 167... Valid 242334Z - 250100Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 167 continues. SUMMARY...Supercells with very large hail and tornado potential may increase into this evening. DISCUSSION...A supercell northeast of Lubbock in Floyd County has recently intensified and turned right, with a confirmed tornado at around 2315 UTC. Other cells are gradually intensifying across the TX Panhandle and South Plains, within a weakly capped and strongly unstable (MLCAPE in excess of 2500 J/kg) environment. The 20Z AMA sounding was rather dry (with PW of 0.58 inches), but otherwise was quite favorable for organized storms with steep midlevel lapse rates and favorable deep-layer shear. Some increase in low-level moisture quality is expected due to backing surface winds, and multiple intense supercells may eventually evolve into early evening. Any mature supercell within this environment will pose a threat of very large hail (possibly baseball-size or larger), given the favorable thermodynamic profile. A strengthening low-level jet will also enlarge low-level hodographs, resulting in an increasing conditional tornado threat with time, if any supercells can propagate east-southeastward into an increasingly moist environment. ..Dean.. 04/24/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible this evening from from eastern Colorado and southwest Kansas into western Oklahoma, the Panhandles and West Texas. Very large hail is possible, along with a few tornadoes. ...Central and southern Plains... Scattered severe storms persist this evening over West TX including the Panhandle, with very large/damaging hail in progress. Other severe cells, some with tornadic circulation, persist over northwest OK within a cluster, also with damaging hail and wind potential. Given the uncapped air mass across most of these areas, storms should persist for a few hours, and the increasing 850 mb winds out of the south may favor right moving supercells. The 00Z AMA sounding confirms the lack of inhibition, showing steep lapse rates through a deep layer. Isolated marginally severe storms also persist over eastern CO, and north of the tornadic northwest OK cluster into southwest KS.
