Tornado Watch Number 67

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

325 PM CDT Mon Apr 1 2024



The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a



* Tornado Watch for portions of 

  Extreme northeast Kansas

  Western Missouri



* Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 325 PM until

  1100 PM CDT.



* Primary threats include...

  A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible

  Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5

    inches in diameter likely

  Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts

    to 80 mph possible



SUMMARY...Scattered severe storm development is expected this

afternoon into this evening into western Missouri.  The initial

storms will likely be supercells capable of producing isolated very

large hail (up to 2.5 inch diameter).  The threat for a few

tornadoes will increase gradually through the evening with both the

supercells and any larger clusters that evolve, and a strong (EF2)

tornado or two will be possible.  The threat for damaging winds

(60-80 mph) will also increase later this evening as storms grow

upscale into clusters/line segments.



The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles

east and west of a line from 15 miles west northwest of Chillicothe

MO to 25 miles south of Monett MO. For a complete depiction of the

watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7).



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
