WW 364 SEVERE TSTM NE 010840Z - 011300Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 364 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 240 AM MDT Sat Jun 1 2024 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of Western Nebraska * Effective this Saturday morning from 240 AM until 700 AM MDT. * Primary threats include... Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible SUMMARY...A few elevated supercells may persist through about sunrise with the potential to produce occasional large hail of 1-1.5 inches in diameter. The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 40 statute miles north and south of a line from 20 miles west southwest of Alliance NE to 20 miles northeast of North Platte NE. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU4). 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 50 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 450. Mean storm motion vector 31020. ...Thompson Read more

MD 1104 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 364... FOR WESTERN TO CENTRAL NE
Mesoscale Discussion 1104 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0608 AM CDT Sat Jun 01 2024 Areas affected...Western to central NE Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 364... Valid 011108Z - 011245Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 364 continues. SUMMARY...A marginal and isolated severe hail threat should persist across the southeast portion of WW 364 as it shift towards the US-83 corridor, north of I-80. An additional severe thunderstorm watch farther east is unlikely. DISCUSSION...While the number of supercells has subsided, one probable severe hailer is ongoing over eastern Garden County along with a couple strong cells farther east. Overall environment should support potential for an isolated, lower-end severe hail threat (i.e., 1-1.5 inches in diameter) into mid-morning. With low-level flow becoming more veered in upstream VWPs (GLD and FTG), subsiding moist advection is anticipated. This in combination with eastward expansion of the central High Plains elevated mixed layer should yield eventually diminishing elevated supercell potential later in the morning. ..Grams.. 06/01/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

500 AM PDT Sat Jun 1 2024

For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:

South of the Coast of Southern Mexico:
An elongated area of low pressure located a few hundred miles
south-southwest of the coast of the Gulf of Tehuantepec continues
to produce disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Development
of this system appears unlikely while the disturbance moves slowly
westward well to the south of the coast of Mexico through early
next week.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent.
* Formation chance through 7 days...low...10 percent.

MD 1103 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR NE PANHANDLE
Mesoscale Discussion 1103 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0311 AM CDT Sat Jun 01 2024 Areas affected...NE Panhandle Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible Valid 010811Z - 011015Z Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent SUMMARY...Potential for isolated large hail should persist through sunrise with a few elevated supercells across the western Nebraska Panhandle vicinity. DISCUSSION...A trio of elevated supercells have formed as a result of a well-advertised overnight increase in low-level moisture northward over the central High Plains. The northwestern most of this trio, near Alliance, appears to be the deepest updraft. With MUCAPE having increased to about 1000 J/kg coupled with moderate northwesterly deep-layer shear, the threat for large hail will probably persist for a few hours through at least sunrise. Low-level flow appears to be relatively modest, yielding some uncertainty on how long the severe hail threat will last. 00Z HREF signal suggests relatively shorter-lived supercells should be expected, although the 00Z NSSL-MPAS runs indicated potential for a longer-lived, more intense storm occurring. ..Grams/Thompson.. 06/01/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Day 4-8 Outlook
Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0328 AM CDT Sat Jun 01 2024 Valid 041200Z - 091200Z ...DISCUSSION... Medium-range guidance has come into better agreement with the evolution of the northern-stream shortwave trough expected to move through the northern Plains and Upper Midwest on D4/Tuesday. Much of guidance suite now suggests this wave will mature into a cyclone over Manitoba on D5/Wednesday before then tracking southeastward over Ontario and the Upper Great Lakes on D6/Thursday and D7/Friday. Surface low will be stacked beneath the mid/upper level cyclone by D5/Wednesday, while an associated cold front moves eastward/southeastward through the Upper Midwest and Mid MS Valley on D4/Tuesday. This initial front will likely weaken on D5/Wednesday, before another more substantial frontal push occurs on D6/Thursday, taking the front through much of the central Plains and OH Valley. Thunderstorms are possible along and ahead of this cold front, beginning across the Upper Midwest on D4/Tuesday and continuing across the central Plains on D5/Wednesday. Thunderstorms will remain possible across the central Plains on D6/Thursday, with storms possible across the middle/upper OH Valley as well. Uncertainty regarding severe coverage precludes the need for an area across the Upper Midwest on D4/Tuesday, while uncertainties regarding frontal timing limit predictability on D5/Wednesday and D6/Thursday. The front is not expected to effect much of the southern Plains with low-level moisture remaining over the region on D7/Friday and D8/Saturday. This suggests some thunderstorms are possible but the lack of any large, more synoptic scale features limits predictability. Read more
