Tornado Watch Number 381
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1005 PM CDT Fri Jun 6 2025
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Tornado Watch for portions of
Western and Central Oklahoma and the Oklahoma Panhandle
The Texas Panhandle
* Effective this Friday night and Saturday morning from 1005 PM
until 600 AM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
A couple tornadoes possible
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
inches in diameter likely
Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
to 75 mph possible
SUMMARY...Multiple intense supercells will likely continue to pose a
threat for large to very large hail this evening into the early
overnight hours as they move generally southeastward. The largest
hailstones may reach up to 2-3 inches in diameter. A couple of
tornadoes will also be possible with these supercells, especially
along/near a surface boundary draped northwest to southeast across
the OK/TX Panhandles into western/central OK. Otherwise, scattered
severe/damaging winds up to 65-75 mph will likely become an
increasing concern as thunderstorms grow upscale into a cluster
overnight.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles
north and south of a line from 35 miles south southwest of Guymon OK
to 15 miles south southeast of Chandler OK. 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.
