   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 390
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   705 PM CDT Wed Jun 24 2026

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Northwest and North-Central Kansas
     Southwest and South-Central Nebraska

   * Effective this Wednesday night and Thursday morning from 705 PM
     until 200 AM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
       mph possible
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
       inches in diameter possible
     A tornado or two possible

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorm coverage is expected to increase this evening
   across southwest/south-central Nebraska and northwest/north-central
   Kansas. Strong buoyancy and vertical shear will support the
   potential for large to very large hail over the next few hours when
   a more cellular mode is favored. A low-probability tornado risk
   exists during this time period as well. Thereafter, a trend towards
   a more linear storm mode is possible, with the primary severe threat
   transitioning to strong gusts. Isolated gusts may approach 75 mph.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 75
   statute miles north and south of a line from 25 miles west northwest
   of Imperial NE to 55 miles south southeast of Kearney NE. For a
   complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
   update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0).

   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.

   OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 387...WW 388...WW 389...

   AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
   3 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A
   few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector
   29020.

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.
