URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Tornado Watch Number 267
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
300 PM CDT Sun Jun 7 2020
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Tornado Watch for portions of
Northwest Minnesota
Eastern North Dakota
* Effective this Sunday afternoon and evening from 300 PM until
1000 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes possible
Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 80
mph likely
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
inches in diameter likely
SUMMARY...Thunderstorm initiation is expected soon across eastern
North Dakota and into northwest Minnesota. The storm environment
will initially favor supercells capable of producing very large
hail. The tornado threat will be greater where storms interact with
the surface warm front near and east of the Minnesota border.
Otherwise, storms are expected to grow upscale into multiple
clusters capable of producing significant damaging winds and large
hail into early tonight.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 70 statute miles
east and west of a line from 25 miles northeast of Hallock MN to 75
miles south southeast of Jamestown ND. For a complete depiction of
the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS
WOU7).
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.
&&
OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 266...

surface and aloft to 3 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
gusts to 70 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 600. Mean

For each watch, probabilities for particular events inside the watch
(listed above in each table) are determined by the issuing forecaster.
The "Low" category contains probability values ranging from less than 2%
to 20% (EF2-EF5 tornadoes), less than 5% to 20% (all other probabilities),
"Moderate" from 30% to 60%, and "High" from 70% to greater than 95%.
High values are bolded and lighter in color to provide awareness of
an increased threat for a particular event.
