WW 36 TORNADO AR IL IN KY MO MS TN 150030Z - 150800Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 36 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 730 PM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Northeast Arkansas Southern Illinois Far Southwest Indiana Western Kentucky Southeast Missouri Northern Mississippi Western Tennessee * Effective this Friday night and Saturday morning from 730 PM until 300 AM CDT. ...THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION... * Primary threats include... Several tornadoes and a few intense tornadoes likely Widespread damaging winds and scattered significant gusts to 80 mph likely Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter likely SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop across the watch area over the next several hours. Environmental conditions are very favorable for supercells capable of all severe hazards, including very large hail (i.e. greater than 2" in diameter) and strong (EF2+) tornadoes. If storms can remain discrete, potential exists for a few long-track tornadoes. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 75 statute miles east and west of a line from 40 miles west northwest of Evansville IN to 25 miles southwest of Oxford MS. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6). PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for tornadoes and 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. && OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 31...WW 32...WW 33...WW 34...WW 35... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 70 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 24035. ...Mosier Read more

MD 0187 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 36...38... FOR SOUTHERN ARKANSAS...FAR NORTHERN LOUISIANA...AND INTO NORTHERN AND WESTERN MISSISSIPPI
Mesoscale Discussion 0187 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1139 PM CDT Fri Mar 14 2025 Areas affected...southern Arkansas...far northern Louisiana...and into northern and western Mississippi Concerning...Tornado Watch 36...38... Valid 150439Z - 150615Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 36, 38 continues. SUMMARY...Tornado risk is evolving across portions of southern Arkansas, far northern Louisiana, and western Mississippi. DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a band of supercells moving eastward across Arkansas at this time, several with ongoing/strong circulations evident. The southern portion of this band -- over southern Arkansas -- will continue moving eastward across northwestern portions of Tornado Watch 38. Meanwhile farther east, a supercell is crossing southern Leflore County in west-central Mississippi, which is also exhibiting low-level rotation. Meanwhile, other/weaker convection is evolving south of this storm, where CAMs suggest potential for an increase in severe-storm potential over the next couple of hours. Given the favorable environment (both kinematically and thermodynamically), expect risk to continue across portions of WW 38 for several hours across this region. ..Goss.. 03/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

SPC Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook
Day 2 Fire Weather Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0112 AM CDT Sat Mar 15 2025 Valid 161200Z - 171200Z ...Synopsis... Elevated fire weather conditions are expected Sunday afternoon across parts of the southern High Plains and the northern Plains. The upper trough currently amplifying across the southern CONUS is expected to quickly translate eastward towards the southern Appalachians by mid-day Sunday with building surface high pressure across the southern Plains in its wake. Increasing westerly winds across the central and northern Rockies associated with an approaching upper ridge will promote a downslope flow regime across the central/northern Plains. ...Southern High Plains... Dry, but relatively quiescent conditions are expected across much of the southern Plains where widespread fire activity has been observed over the past 24 hours. However, areas of breezy conditions are possible across the Trans Pecos region of southwest TX Sunday afternoon where gradient winds may increase to around 15-20 mph. Very dry fuels combined with RH values in the teens to low 20s should support areas of elevated fire weather conditions from far southeast NM into the Trans Pecos and Big Bend regions of southwest TX. ...Central/northern Plains... A westerly downslope flow regime is expected to develop across eastern WY/MT into adjacent portions of NE and the Dakotas by Sunday afternoon as an upper ridge builds into the northern Rockies. Dry/breezy conditions are expected with 15-20 mph winds and RH minimums in the teens to low 20s. Although some areas have recently seen rainfall per MRMS estimates, dry/windy conditions on Saturday should support sufficient drying of fine fuels to support at least a low-end fire weather concern Sunday afternoon. ..Moore.. 03/15/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov/fire for graphic product...
