URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED

Tornado Watch Number 226

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

435 PM CDT Sun May 30 2021



The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a



* Tornado Watch for portions of

  Oklahoma Panhandle

  Texas Panhandle



* Effective this Sunday afternoon from 435 PM until Midnight CDT.



* Primary threats include...

  A couple tornadoes possible

  Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5

    inches in diameter possible

  Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible



SUMMARY...Initially, a supercell across far southeast Colorado may

continue to move southeastward into the western Oklahoma Panhandle

while additional storms develop generally eastward out of northeast

New Mexico. Some supercells capable of large hail can be expected,

and a tornado threat will also exist, particularly with storms

interacting with a west/northwest-east/southeast-oriented outflow

boundary. With time, eventual storm mergers should lead to upscale

quasi-linear growth/organization this evening along with an

increasing damaging wind risk and some continued tornado potential

with embedded circulations.



The tornado watch area is approximately along and 75 statute miles

north and south of a line from 25 miles west southwest of Dalhart TX

to 40 miles east northeast of Borger TX. For a complete depiction of

the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS

WOU6).



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for

tornadoes and 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.
