Day 1 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0759 PM CDT Mon May 19 2025 Valid 200100Z - 201200Z ...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS...SOUTHWEST MISSOURI...AND FAR EASTERN OKLAHOMA... ...SUMMARY... A significant severe weather episode should continue tonight across parts of the South-Central States. Strong tornadoes, scattered to widespread damaging wind swaths, and very large hail remain possible. ...TX/OK to the Mid-MS/Lower OH Valley... While extensive overturning has already occurred, there are several primary areas of concern for severe storms tonight. In the near-term, the greatest tornado/wind potential should exist with a pair of supercells embedded within a broad southwest/northeast-oriented QLCS from the Ozark Plateau to the Red River. With the most pronounced low-level shear ahead of this portion of the QLCS, strong tornado and significant severe wind potential should persist into late evening. Despite stronger large-scale ascent focused west, the organized nature of the QLCS suggests that embedded wind gusts of 60-75 mph could produce a potentially widespread damaging wind swath that may persist east-northeast overnight. Have expanded outlook categories farther east across the Mid-MS/Lower OH Valley. The trailing portion of the QLCS has been stubborn to accelerate east, but should begin to do so in the next couple hours. Short-term guidance has been insistent on additional convection developing back west with strengthening ascent ahead of the primary shortwave trough from central to eastern OK tonight. This could pose another round of severe hail/wind threat persisting into the early morning. ...KS and the Lower/Mid-MO Valley... Scattered severe storms should generally wane during the late evening. But similar to the OK redevelopment, post-dryline/frontal high-based convection should expand east-northeast and likely impinge on lingering strong to severe storms across eastern KS. This could maintain at least isolated severe storms lingering overnight. ..Grams.. 05/20/2025 Read more

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...

WW 293 TORNADO IA NE 191810Z - 200200Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 293 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 110 PM CDT Mon May 19 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Southwest Iowa Eastern Nebraska * Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 110 PM until 900 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes possible Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely SUMMARY...Thunderstorms will increase in coverage through the afternoon across parts of eastern Nebraska, in a moist and moderately unstable air mass. Large hail and damaging winds are possible in the strongest cells, along with a few tornadoes. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 45 statute miles north and south of a line from 45 miles west of Columbus NE to 10 miles southeast of Shenandoah IA. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3). 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 292... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector 22030. ...Hart Read more

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...
