URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 346
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
610 PM CDT Sat Jun 17 2017
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Southern and eastern Kansas
Western and northern Missouri
* Effective this Saturday night and Sunday morning from 610 PM
until 200 AM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events
to 3 inches in diameter possible
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
A tornado or two possible
SUMMARY...Storms will continue to develop initially along a boundary
that extends from southwest Kansas northeastward into northeast
Kansas and northern Missouri. Very steep lapse rates, strong
buoyancy, and ample deep-layer shear will support the possibility of
supercells capable of very large hail and possibly a tornado. The
potential for damaging winds may increase as storms tend to cluster
this evening and move east-southeastward across the region.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 65
statute miles north and south of a line from 50 miles south of
Kirksville MO to 30 miles southwest of Garden City KS. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6).
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.
