   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 308
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   750 PM CDT Fri Jun 26 2020

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Southern Iowa
     Northern and western Kansas
     North-central and northwestern Missouri
     Southern Nebraska

   * Effective this Friday night and Saturday morning from 750 PM
     until 400 AM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
     Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...Multiple areas of thunderstorms should develop and pose a
   severe threat across the watch area into the overnight hours. 
   Convective coverage is expected to increase considerably after dark
   as the supportive low-level jet strengthens.  Damaging gusts and
   sporadic hail are the main concerns.  One or two convective
   complexes may evolve and shift southeastward into southern parts of
   the watch area tonight with a locally maximized wind-damage threat
   as well.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 65
   statute miles north and south of a line from 25 miles southwest of
   Goodland KS to 20 miles north northeast of Kirksville MO. For a
   complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
   update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8).

   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.
