MD 0577 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR PARTS OF NW TX INTO THE TX PNHDL
Mesoscale Discussion 0577
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0349 PM CDT Sun Apr 27 2025
Areas affected...parts of nw TX into the TX Pnhdl
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 272049Z - 272245Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Probabilities for thunderstorm development appear low, but
may not be negligible late this afternoon into early evening, with
the environment conditionally supportive of supercells posing a risk
for large hail and tornadoes. If and when it becomes more certain
that storms will form, a severe weather watch will probably be
needed.
DISCUSSION...Boundary-layer ... Continue Reading »
MD 0576 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY FOR WESTERN KANSAS
Mesoscale Discussion 0576
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0347 PM CDT Sun Apr 27 2025
Areas affected...Western Kansas
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 272047Z - 272245Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent
SUMMARY...Watch issuance in western Kansas is currently unlikely.
Significant severe would be possible if storms develop.
Observational trends will be monitored.
DISCUSSION...Periodic enhancement to the cumulus field in western
Kansas has been noted in day cloud phase satellite imagery,
primarily in the vicinity of Goodland. Low 60s F dewpoints ahead of
the surface trough/modest dryline has allowed around 2500 J/kg
MLCAPE to develop. With the generally ... Continue Reading »
MD 0575 CONCERNING SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE FOR 2NEBRASKA PANHANDLE INTO THE SANDHILLS AND SOUTHWEST NEBRASKA

Southwest Nebraska
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 272029Z - 272230Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered supercell potential should
increase over the next 2-3 hours. Large/very-large hail and severe
gusts will be possible. The tornado threat will initially be low,
but will increase for storms persisting near/after sunset. Trends
will be monitored for watch issuance.
DISCUSSION...As the lee trough continues to deepen this afternoon,
clusters of ... Continue Reading »

Areas affected...,parts of swrn TX
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 271955Z - 272100Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...The initiation of a couple of storms appears increasingly
likely near and northwest through north of Fort Stockton through 4-5
PM CDT. More rapid thunderstorm intensification accompanied by
increasing potential for large hail and locally damaging wind gusts
may be initially slow, before probably increasing toward early
evening around the Midland through Big Spring vicinities.
DISCUSSION...The boundary-layer is becoming strongly ... Continue Reading »
