   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 202
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   650 AM CDT Wed May 8 2024

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Extreme eastern Kansas
     Western and central Missouri

   * Effective this Wednesday morning and afternoon from 650 AM
     until 200 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
       inches in diameter likely
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible

   SUMMARY...Initially elevated thunderstorms erupting near the KS/MO
   line will pose a threat for large to very large hail through midday
   as individual cells move northeastward to eastward.  A portion of
   this activity may organize into an eastward- to
   southeastward-moving, upscale-growing cluster with increasing
   damaging-wind potential.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 75
   statute miles north and south of a line from 15 miles west southwest
   of Olathe KS to Vichy MO. For a complete depiction of the watch see
   the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU2).

   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
   3 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A
   few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean storm motion vector
