URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 693
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
535 PM CDT Sat Sep 23 2023
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Southeast Kansas
Southwest Missouri
* Effective this Saturday afternoon from 535 PM until Midnight
CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5
inches in diameter likely
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely
A tornado or two possible
SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development is expected this evening across
southeast Kansas and ongoing storms will move east-southeastward
toward southwest Missouri. The storm environment initially favors
supercells capable of producing isolated very large hail near 2.5
inches in diameter, and possibly a tornado or two. Some
clustering/upscale growth will lead to an increase in the potential
for damaging gusts to 70 mph by late evening/early tonight.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 70
statute miles east and west of a line from 70 miles north northeast
of Joplin MO to 50 miles south of Chanute KS. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).
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 690...WW 691...WW 692...
AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A
few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 600. Mean storm motion vector
31020.
