   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   0419 AM CDT TUE MAY 24 2011
   
   ...TORNADO OUTBREAK EXPECTED OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL
   PLAINS AND OZARKS THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY WEDNESDAY...
   
   THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
   DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW STRONG TORNADOES...VERY LARGE HAIL...AND
   DAMAGING WINDS OVER PARTS OF THE SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL PLAINS AND
   OZARKS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
   
   THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE
   
          WESTERN AND NORTHERN ARKANSAS
          CENTRAL AND EASTERN KANSAS
          WESTERN AND SOUTHERN MISSOURI
          CENTRAL AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA
          NORTH TEXAS
   
   ELSEWHERE...SURROUNDING THE AREA OF GREATEST RISK...SEVERE STORMS
   ARE ALSO POSSIBLE FROM THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS THROUGH THE MID
   MISSISSIPPI AND OHIO VALLEYS INTO THE MID ATLANTIC AND NEW ENGLAND
   STATES.
   
   A STRONG JET STREAM DISTURBANCE NOW OVER THE SOUTHWESTERN DESERTS
   WILL SWEEP EAST ACROSS THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES TODAY...AND ACROSS THE
   SOUTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT...BEFORE REACHING THE OZARKS EARLY
   WEDNESDAY.
   
   AS THIS OCCURS...AN ASSOCIATED SURFACE LOW WILL DEEPEN AND MOVE
   NORTHEAST FROM THE TEXAS PANHANDLE INTO CENTRAL KANSAS.
   
   STRENGTHENING LOW-LEVEL SOUTHERLY WINDS EAST OF THE LOW WILL
   TRANSPORT INCREASINGLY WARM AND HUMID AIR NORTHWARD ACROSS THE
   PLAINS AND OZARKS...BENEATH UNUSUALLY STRONG WEST-SOUTHWESTERLY
   WINDS IN THE JET STREAM.
   
   SCATTERED INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS WILL FORM THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING
   IN AN ARC FROM CENTRAL KANSAS SOUTHWARD THROUGH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
   INTO NORTH TEXAS AS DAYTIME HEATING FURTHER DESTABILIZES THE REGION
   AHEAD OF THE DEEPENING LOW.
   
   CONDITIONS WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR THE STORMS TO ASSUME
   STRONG...SUSTAINED ROTATION...AND TO PRODUCE POSSIBLY VIOLENT
   TORNADOES AND VERY LARGE HAIL AS THEY MOVE / DEVELOP GENERALLY
   NORTHEASTWARD INTO EASTERN PORTIONS OF KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA.
   
   THE STORMS LIKELY WILL ORGANIZE INTO AN EXTENSIVE BAND THIS
   EVENING...EXTENDING THE RISK FOR DAMAGING WIND...LARGE HAIL...AND A
   FEW TORNADOES EAST AND NORTHEAST INTO PARTS OF ARKANSAS AND MISSOURI
   BY EARLY WEDNESDAY.
   
   STATE AND LOCAL EMERGENCY MANAGERS ARE MONITORING THIS POTENTIALLY
   VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. THOSE IN THE THREATENED AREA ARE URGED TO
   REVIEW SEVERE WEATHER SAFETY RULES AND TO LISTEN TO
   RADIO...TELEVISION...AND NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR POSSIBLE
   WATCHES...WARNINGS...AND STATEMENTS LATER TODAY.
