   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 356
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   345 PM CDT Mon Jun 2 2025

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Eastern Colorado
     Western Kansas
     Far Southwest Nebraska

   * Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 345 PM until
     1000 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Widespread damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 85
       mph likely
     Isolated very large hail events to 2 inches in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...A few thunderstorm clusters are forecast to move into the
   Watch area this afternoon and persist into the evening.  Strong
   buoyancy and large surface temperature and dewpoint spreads will
   favor efficient thunderstorm downdrafts capable of severe gusts. 
   Large hail may accompany the stronger thunderstorm cores this
   afternoon into the early evening before thunderstorm outflow becomes
   more prevalent.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 90
   statute miles east and west of a line from 55 miles west northwest
   of Mccook NE to 45 miles west of Liberal KS. For a complete
   depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
   (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   favorable for 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

to 20% (EF2-EF5 tornadoes), less than 5% to 20% (all other probabilities),
“Moderate” from 30% to 60%, and “High” from 70% to greater than 95%.
High values are bolded and lighter in color to provide awareness of
an increased threat for a particular event.
