URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 240
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
550 PM CDT Tue Jun 2 2020
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Parts of central and southern Wisconsin
Lake Michigan
* Effective this Tuesday afternoon from 550 PM until Midnight
CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
mph likely
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
inches in diameter possible
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms developing along a cold front moving into
west central Wisconsin will continue to expand eastward and move
east-southeastward through early tonight. The storm environment
will favor a mix of clusters/bowing segments, and perhaps an
embedded supercell early in the storm evolution. Damaging winds and
large hail will be the main threats.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 65
statute miles north and south of a line from 25 miles south of Camp
Douglas WI to 35 miles south of Manitowoc WI. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU0).
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are
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
warnings. Severe thunderstorms can and occasionally do produce
tornadoes.
&&
OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 239...
AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A
few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean storm motion vector
29035.
