URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED

Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 196

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

705 AM CDT Mon May 20 2019



The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

  Extreme south-central Kansas

    inches in diameter possible

SUMMARY...A complex of elevated severe thunderstorms will move

eastward to east-northeastward out of the Texas Panhandle.  This and

perhaps trailing convection will offering large hail and potentially

damaging gusts penetrating a shallow stable layer near the surface,

as it encounters a moistening and destabilizing air mass.  Tornado

watch(es) may be needed for especially southern parts of the same

area later today, as that threat increases with approach of the warm

front.



The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 50

statute miles north and south of a line from 85 miles west southwest

of Alva OK to 35 miles northeast of Enid OK. For a complete

depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update

(WOUS64 KWNS WOU6).

REMEMBER...A Severe Thunderstorm Watch means conditions are

favorable for severe thunderstorms in and close to the watch area.
