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.

&&

AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A
few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector

    Tornado Watch #0294

    Locations Affected

  • Western and Central North Dakota
  • Central South Dakota

    • Tornado Watch Summary

    Thunderstorms are forecast to develop and intensify this afternoon and become severe. The stronger storms initially will likely become supercellular posing a risk for tornadoes, large to very large hail, and severe gusts. As more storms develop this evening and an elongated linear cluster evolves, the severe-wind threat will likely become more prevalent. Severe gusts ranging from 60-85 mph are likely with the stronger outflow surges and more intense cores. A lingering risk for tornadoes may continue well into the late evening hours.

    Severe Weather Threats

  • A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes possible
  • Widespread damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 85 mph likely
  • Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3 inches in diameter likely

    Tornado Watch #0296

    Locations Affected

  • Western and Central Nebraska

    • Tornado Watch Summary

    Scattered severe thunderstorms are forecast to move into the Watch area from the west and south during the early evening. Additional storm development is possible as a low-level jet intensifies this evening. Supercells capable of all hazards are possible. A moisture-rich airmass with increasing low-level wind shear may result in an intense supercell later this evening across central Nebraska. A strong tornado is possible. Large to giant hail (1 to 3.5 inches in diameter) is possible with the stronger storms, as well as severe gusts with the more intense storms and outflow.

    Severe Weather Threats

  • A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes possible
  • Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 80 mph possible
