URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Tornado Watch Number 91
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
500 PM CDT Tue Apr 1 2025
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Tornado Watch for portions of
South-Central Kansas
Western, Central, and Northeast Oklahoma
Northwest Texas
* Effective this Tuesday afternoon from 500 PM until Midnight
CDT.
* Primary threats include...
A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes possible
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5
inches in diameter likely
Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
to 80 mph possible
SUMMARY...Discrete supercell development appears possible as the
dryline impinges on a moderately moist airmass in place from
northwest TX into western and central OK. Overall environmental
conditions will support the potential for large to very large hail
(i.e. greater than 2" in diameter) and tornadoes with any storms
that do form. Strong wind gusts are possible as well.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles
east and west of a line from 50 miles north northwest of
Bartlesville OK to 20 miles southeast of Wichita Falls TX. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU1).
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.
&&
AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
surface and aloft to 2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
gusts to 70 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean
