MD 0824 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 264... FOR FAR SOUTHEAST VIRGINIA AND EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA
Mesoscale Discussion 0824 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0553 PM CDT Fri May 16 2025 Areas affected...Far southeast Virginia and eastern North Carolina Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 264... Valid 162253Z - 170030Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 264 continues. SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms capable of damaging winds and hail will continue into the evening, before gradually dissipating and moving offshore into the Atlantic. DISCUSSION...Scattered severe thunderstorms are ongoing across portions of far southeastern Virginia into eastern North Carolina, capable of damaging straight-line winds and large hail. Recent radar scans from Wakefield, VA show 60-65 kts at 600-700 ft ARL, primarily along the leading edge of the convection. Warn on Forecast guidance also indicates this convection will persist into the evening, with some locally higher probabilities of 50+ kt winds before dissipating and moving offshore. ..Halbert.. 05/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

MD 0823 CONCERNING TORNADO WATCH 265... FOR SOUTHEAST INDIANA...SOUTHWEST OHIO...CENTRAL AND EASTERN KENTUCKY
Mesoscale Discussion 0823 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0551 PM CDT Fri May 16 2025 Areas affected...Southeast Indiana...Southwest Ohio...Central and Eastern Kentucky Concerning...Tornado Watch 265... Valid 162251Z - 170045Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 265 continues. SUMMARY...The severe threat will increase over southeast Indiana, southwest Ohio, southward into central and eastern Kentucky over the next few hours. Tornadoes, large hail and severe wind gusts will be likely with the more intense storms. Weather watch issuance will be needed. DISCUSSION...According to mosaic radar imagery, a cluster of supercells is currently ongoing across much of the lower Ohio Valley. This cluster is being supported by a shortwave trough, and an associated 70 to 80 knot mid-level jet, that will move eastward toward the central Appalachians this evening. In response to the wave, an 850 mb jet will strengthen and move eastward across the Ohio Valley. This will provide support for continued thunderstorm development, and convective coverage is expected to increase over the next few hours. These storms will move through the eastern part of WW 265, necessitating new watch issuance to the east of the ongoing watch. Strong low-level and deep-layer shear, associated with the Ohio Valley system, will be favorable for supercells with tornadoes, large hail and wind damage. RAP forecast soundings at 03Z for Jackson, Kentucky have 0-6 km shear near 50 knots, with 0-3 km storm-relative helicity in the 350 to 400 m2/s2 range. This will be favorable for a few strong tornadoes. As convective coverage increases, a transition to more linear structure is expected to take place during the mid to late evening. As a result, the wind-damage threat will likely increase. The faster moving bowing line segments could produce wind gusts exceeding 75 mph. ..Broyles/Gleason.. 05/16/2025 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...

WW 262 TORNADO AR IL MO OK 161655Z - 170000Z
URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED Tornado Watch Number 262 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1155 AM CDT Fri May 16 2025 The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a * Tornado Watch for portions of Northern Arkansas Southwestern Illinois Central and Eastern Missouri Far Eastern Oklahoma * Effective this Friday morning and evening from 1155 AM until 700 PM CDT. * Primary threats include... A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible Widespread large hail and scattered very large hail events to 4 inches in diameter likely Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely SUMMARY...The airmass across the region continues to destabilize amid strong low-level moisture advection and daytime heating. Robust thunderstorm development is anticipated over the next few hours as an approaching cold front interacts with this strong buoyant airmass. Strong vertical shear is also in place, supporting supercells as the primary storm mode. All severe hazards are possible with these supercells, including very large hail up to 4" in diameter and strong tornadoes. The tornado watch area is approximately along and 80 statute miles east and west of a line from 70 miles south of Harrison AR to 35 miles north northwest of Saint Louis MO. For a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU2). 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 260...WW 261... AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to 4 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500.
