SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0746 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 Valid 250100Z - 251200Z ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER PARTS OF THE TEXAS PANHANDLE TO SOUTH PLAINS... ...SUMMARY... 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.

MD 0547 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 166... FOR CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST TEXAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0547 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0528 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 Areas affected...Central and Southeast Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 166... Valid 242228Z - 250030Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 166 continues. SUMMARY...The threat for damaging straight line winds continues across WW 166 in portions of central and southeastern Texas. Trends will continue to be monitored for whether or not local watch extensions or re-issuance may be needed later this evening. DISCUSSION...A linear bowing convective complex is ongoing across east-central Texas, currently moving east-southeast towards the Louisiana border and the Gulf Coast. While surface observations from behind the convective outflow have generally remained below severe criteria, MLCAPE of 15000-2000 and 40 kts of deep-layer shear will continue to support storm organization and longevity into this evening. As the convective complex reaches the edge of WW 166, local watch extensions southeastward may be necessary. New WW issuance could be needed if the bowing segment continues to maintain its intensity into the evening, but this scenario remains uncertain at this time. ..Halbert.. 04/24/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 166 SEVERE TSTM TX 241955Z - 250100Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 166 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 255 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Central into East Texas * Effective this Thursday afternoon and evening from 255 PM until 800 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...A linear cluster of strong to severe thunderstorms will likely continue east across much of the Watch area this afternoon into the early evening. Severe gusts 60-70 mph appear to be the primary hazard, but large hail may accompany the stronger cells on the southwestern flank of the thunderstorm band. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 50 statute miles north and south of a line from 35 miles west of Temple TX to 25 miles east of Lufkin TX. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6). 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. && 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 28030. ...Smith Read more

MD 0549 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 168... FOR TX PERMIAN BASIN/TRANS-PECOS REGION
Mesoscale Discussion 0549 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0656 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 Areas affected...TX Permian Basin/Trans-Pecos region Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 168... Valid 242356Z - 250130Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 168 continues. SUMMARY...Supercells with large to very large hail remain possible this evening. DISCUSSION...Scattered strong to severe storms are ongoing at 2345 UTC across the TX Permian Basin vicinity. Despite generally modest large-scale forcing, strong buoyancy (with MLCAPE of 2000-3000 J/kg) and moderate deep-layer shear will continue to support splitting supercells within the weakly capped environment through early evening. Large to very large hail will likely be the primary hazard, especially with any persistent left-movers, while strong to locally severe outflow winds will also be possible in the vicinity of the strongest cells. Increasing MLCINH should result in a gradual decrease in the severe threat later this evening. ..Dean.. 04/24/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...SJT...MAF...

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...

MD 0546 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 170... FOR SOUTHWEST KS INTO NORTHWEST OK
Mesoscale Discussion 0546 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0511 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 Areas affected...Southwest KS into northwest OK Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 170... Valid 242211Z - 242345Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 170 continues. SUMMARY...Strong to severe storms will continue into early evening, with a primary large hail, isolated strong to severe gusts, and possibly a tornado. DISCUSSION...Storms have developed late this afternoon from far northwest OK into southwest KS, in the vicinity of a northwest to southeast oriented surface confluence zone. Deep-layer flow is rather modest, with effective shear of less than 30 kt per objective mesoanalyses, but the presence of ongoing supercells suggests that shear is locally greater near the surface boundary. The thermodynamic environment is favorable for hail production, with relatively steep midlevel lapse rates and MLCAPE near/above 1500 J/kg. Locally strong to severe gusts will also be possible, given the presence of a relatively well-mixed boundary layer. A tornado cannot be ruled out, especially with any sustained supercell that persists into the evening, when a modest increase in low-level shear/SRH is expected across the region. ..Dean.. 04/24/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0545 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR SOUTHEAST NE INTO SOUTHWEST IA AND EXTREME NORTHWEST MO
Mesoscale Discussion 0545 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0435 PM CDT Thu Apr 24 2025 Areas affected...Southeast NE into southwest IA and extreme northwest MO Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 242135Z - 242330Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Strong to locally severe storms remain possible into the early evening. DISCUSSION...Storms have recently intensified near Omaha (with reports of hail up to golf ball size noted), with other storms ongoing into southeast NE. This convection has developed near a surface front and is likely being aided by a convectively enhanced midlevel shortwave trough currently moving across eastern NE. Heating into the 70s F near the front has allowed for MLCAPE to increase to near 1000 J/kg, while veering flow with height (as noted on the KOAX VWP) will continue to support some storm organization, including continued potential for a supercell or two. Large hail and locally gusty winds are expected to be the most common hazards with the strongest storms into early evening. However, given the presence of a surface boundary and modestly enhanced low-level shear/SRH (with 0-1 km SRH near 100 m2/s2), a tornado also cannot be ruled out. With the threat potentially being rather limited in coverage and duration, the need for watch issuance is uncertain, but trends will be monitored for an uptick in coverage of organized storms. ..Dean/Guyer.. 04/24/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
