   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 347
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   105 AM CDT Thu Jul 9 2020

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Extreme northwestern Arkansas
     Eastern Kansas
     Western Missouri
     Northeastern Oklahoma

   * Effective this Thursday morning from 105 AM until 1000 AM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Widespread damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
       to 80 mph possible
     Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...A well-organized, bowing thunderstorm complex initially
   over southern Nebraska and northern Kansas has a well-developed
   pressure/thermal perturbation, rear-inflow jet and cold pool, and a
   history of measured severe gusts.  This complex will sweep
   southeastward into and across much of the watch area through the
   rest of the morning, with some southward bend possible in the track
   over eastern Kansas.  Severe gusts are likely, and isolated hail
   also may occur.  A QLCS tornado cannot be ruled out.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 100
   statute miles either side of a line from 55 miles west of Grove OK
   to 15 miles northwest of Chillicothe MO. For a complete depiction of
   the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS
   WOU7).

   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.
