   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Tornado Watch Number 190
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   345 PM CDT Mon May 6 2024

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     Western Iowa
     Northeast and Eastern Kansas
     Far Northwest Missouri
     Eastern Nebraska

   * Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 345 PM until
     1100 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes possible
     Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
       mph likely
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
       inches in diameter likely

   SUMMARY...Bands of intensifying strong to severe thunderstorms are
   forecast to move into the Watch area from the west and southwest
   during the late afternoon and evening.  The airmass continues to
   gradually destabilize ahead of the developing storms and will become
   favorable for organized severe thunderstorms, including supercells
   and line segments.  The stronger storms will pose a risk for
   tornadoes, a couple of which may be strong, and severe gusts and
   large hail.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles
   east and west of a line from 45 miles northwest of Sioux City IA to
   15 miles south southeast of Emporia 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.
