URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED

Tornado Watch Number 200

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1230 PM MDT Mon May 24 2021



The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a



* Tornado Watch for portions of

  Eastern Colorado

  Western Kansas

  800 PM MDT.



* Primary threats include...

  Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5

    inches in diameter possible

  Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible



SUMMARY...An outflow boundary will continue to modify and move

slowly northward across the region, serving as a focus for severe

thunderstorm development aside from a front that extends

southwest-northeast across the region. At least isolated locally

intense supercells are possible. This includes potential for large

hail along with the possibility of a few tornadoes, particularly

given the moist environment and influences of the low-level

boundaries across the region.



The tornado watch area is approximately along and 75 statute miles

east and west of a line from 10 miles west northwest of Mccook NE to

25 miles west southwest of Garden City KS. For a complete depiction

of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS

WOU0).



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.

surface and aloft to 2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind

gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean
