MD 0889 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 292... FOR PARTS OF EAST-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA INTO FAR WEST-CENTRAL ARKANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0889 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0630 PM CDT Mon May 19 2025 Areas affected...Parts of east-central Oklahoma into far west-central Arkansas Concerning...Tornado Watch 292... Valid 192330Z - 200100Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 292 continues. SUMMARY...Favorable corridor for continuation of strong/intense tornadoes continues across east-central Oklahoma into west-central Arkansas. DISCUSSION...A couple intense supercell clusters are tracking east-northeastward across east-central Oklahoma -- one of which has a history of producing tornadoes (likely strong/intense). These storms are moving into the core of the low-level jet -- where the SRX VWP is sampling around 260 m2/s2 0-500m SRH. Given this very favorable streamwise vorticity, established supercell clusters, and strong surface-based instability, the risk of strong to intense tornadoes should continue for the next few hours. ..Weinman.. 05/19/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0888 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...TORNADO WATCH LIKELY FOR PARTS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA INTO WESTERN ARKANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0888 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0611 PM CDT Mon May 19 2025 Areas affected...Parts of eastern Oklahoma into western Arkansas Concerning...Severe potential...Tornado Watch likely Valid 192311Z - 200045Z Probability of Watch Issuance...95 percent SUMMARY...A new Tornado Watch will be needed for parts of eastern Oklahoma into western Arkansas. This watch will replace parts of Tornado Watch 295. DISCUSSION...Intensifying severe storms will continue spreading/developing east-northeastward across the eastern half of OK into western Arkansas into tonight. Across the area, strong surface-based instability is already in place, and a 40-50 kt low-level jet is yielding clockwise-curved hodographs -- characterized by upwards of 300 m2/s2 0-1km SRH (per regional VWP). While there may be a tendency for storms to gradually grow upscale into intense/organized clusters/bowing segments, the aforementioned wind profile will still support embedded/long-lived supercells -- capable of producing tornadoes, damaging winds, and large hail. A Tornado Watch will likely be issued for this area. Farther west into central OK, some guidance indicates additional storm development in the vicinity of the dryline as midlevel ascent overspreads the area into tonight. If this were to occur, ample instability and 50+ kt of effective shear would support organized storms, to include supercells. Severe wind gusts and large hail would likely be the primary threats with this activity, given more unidirectional shear with westward extent (away from the focused low-level jet). Convective and environmental trends are being monitored for the need for an additional watch here. ..Weinman/Gleason.. 05/19/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0887 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 293... FOR EASTERN NEBRASKA...SOUTHWEST IOWA
Mesoscale Discussion 0887 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0608 PM CDT Mon May 19 2025 Areas affected...Eastern Nebraska...Southwest Iowa Concerning...Tornado Watch 293... Valid 192308Z - 200115Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 293 continues. SUMMARY...A severe threat will continue over the next few hours across parts of eastern Nebraska and southwest Iowa. Tornadoes, large hail and wind damage will be possible. DISCUSSION...The latest hi-resolution radar imagery shows line of severe storms located to the west of Omaha, with an intense supercell at the northern end. Another intense supercell is located in far southeast Nebraska. The storms are located along and just to the east of an axis moderate instability, where MLCAPE is in the 2000 to 3000 J/kg range. At the surface, dewpoints are in the lower to mid 60s F, and surface winds are backed to the east-southeast along a pronouced warm front. This is evident on the Omaha WSR-88D VWP, which has 0-3 km storm-relative helicity around 260 m2/s2. This will be favorable for a tornado threat over the next couple of hours. In addition, the RAP has 700-500 mb lapse rates of between 7.5 and 8 C/km, which will also be favorable for large hail. The more intense cores could produce hail greater than 2 inches in diameter. Wind damage will also be possible with supercells and short bowing line segments. As the storms move east-northeastward toward the southwest Iowa later this evening, the cells should become elevated. This could mean the large hail will eventually become the primary threat. ..Broyles/Gleason.. 05/19/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...DMX...EAX...OAX...TOP...

Mesoscale Discussion 0886 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0521 PM CDT Mon May 19 2025 Areas affected...Western Missouri...Far Northwest Arkansas Concerning...Tornado Watch 292...294... Valid 192221Z - 200015Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 292, 294 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat is expected to increase across the western Ozarks early this evening. Tornadoes, large hail and wind damage will be possible. DISCUSSION...The latest hi-resolution radar from Tulsa shows scattered severe storms, with multiple supercells and short intense line segments, located from northeastern Oklahoma extending northward into far western Missouri. The RAP is analyzing moderate instability to the east of the storms over much of the Ozarks, where MLCAPE is estimated to be around 2000 J/kg. In addition, the axis of a 40 to 50 knot low-level jet is analyzed from eastern Oklahoma into western Missouri. The low-level jet will gradually increase and move eastward, which will increase low-level shear across the western Ozarks. RAP forecast soundings for Springfield, Missouri increase 0-3 km storm-relative helicity into the 300 to 350 m2/s2 range by early evening. In response, a tornado threat is expected to develop across the western Ozarks over the next few hours. Wind damage will also be possible with bowing line segments. Supercells may also produce large hail. ..Broyles.. 05/19/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...LZK...SGF...EAX...TSA...

Mesoscale Discussion 0885 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0517 PM CDT Mon May 19 2025 Areas affected...Parts of far east-central Colorado into western Kansas Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely Valid 192217Z - 200015Z Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent SUMMARY...Isolated instances of large hail and locally severe gusts will remain possible for the next few hours. Given the localized/isolated nature of the severe risk, a watch is not currently expected. DISCUSSION...Beneath the large-scale trough now centered over the central Rockies/High Plains, cold midlevel temperatures atop a deeply mixed boundary layer are contributing to steep deep-layer lapse rates across east-central CO into western KS -- with around 800 J/kg MLCAPE. With around 30 kt of effective shear, marginal supercell structures will be capable of producing isolated large hail and locally severe gusts (one earlier report of 2.5 inch hail). However, given the somewhat marginal deep-layer shear and buoyancy, the overall severe risk is expected to remain too sporadic/isolated for a watch at this time. ..Weinman/Gleason.. 05/19/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

Mesoscale Discussion 0884 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0457 PM CDT Mon May 19 2025 Areas affected...Parts of southeast into east-central Oklahoma Concerning...Tornado Watch 292...295... Valid 192157Z - 192330Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 292, 295 continues. SUMMARY...Storms over south-central/southeast Oklahoma should spread northeastward into an increasingly favorable corridor for supercell intensification over the next few hours -- with a corresponding increase in tornado potential. DISCUSSION...A somewhat messy convective evolution with embedded supercell clusters is evolving from north-central TX into south-central/southeast OK as of 2150Z. Ahead of this activity, a relatively pristine warm/moist sector is in place -- characterized by lower 70s dewpoints beneath a steep midlevel lapse rate plume (sampled by earlier special soundings across the region). This is contributing to upwards of 3000 J/kg MLCAPE. A 40-45 kt low-level jet over the warm sector is yielding clockwise-curved hodographs, with around 270 m2/s2 effective SRH. This should support a gradual intensification of the ongoing convection into semi-discrete supercells over the next few hours, and ample residence time in the high-helicity air will favor an increasing risk of tornadoes (some of which could become strong to intense if a semi-discrete supercell-mode can evolve). Very large hail and damaging winds will also remain a concern with these storms. ..Weinman.. 05/19/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product... ATTN...WFO...SHV...TSA...FWD...OUN...

Valid 192038Z - 192245Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 292 continues. SUMMARY...Long-lived discrete supercell development accompanied by potential for a couple of strong tornadoes remains possible, while spreading across the I-40 into I-44 corridors of northeastern Oklahoma through 5-7 PM CDT. DISCUSSION...A clustering of strong to severe storms, including a couple of sustained tornado producing supercells continues to develop north/northeastward, within a seasonably moist and moderately unstable warm sector, well east of the dryline. This has been supported by a weak lead mid-level perturbation progressing toward the Ozark Plateau. The supercells are generally focused along/west of a strengthening (40+ kt) 850 mb jet axis, and now within an area of stronger surface pressure falls (including 2-3+ mb/2 hourly, evident in 20Z surface observations). As long as the supercells remain more or less discrete, the environment remains conducive to additional tornado development, with perhaps some increase in potential for a strong tornado or two into early evening. ..Kerr.. 05/19/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
