Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 265
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
440 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
Western Kansas
Southwest Nebraska
* Effective this Monday afternoon from 440 PM until Midnight CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events
to 2.5 inches in diameter possible
Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
mph possible
A tornado or two possible
SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms will continue to develop across
western Kansas and eventually southwest Nebraska through early
evening, potentially including multiple rounds via an organized
storm complex later this evening. Large hail and severe winds are
expected to be the primary hazards.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
statute miles east and west of a line from 20 miles west northwest
of Mccook NE to 25 miles east of Liberal KS. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU5).

URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 263
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
215 PM CDT Mon Jun 1 2026
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

MD 0951 CONCERNING SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 261...263... FOR CENTRAL ARKANSAS TO FAR NORTHWEST MISSISSIPPI
Mesoscale Discussion 0951
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0909 PM CDT Mon Jun 01 2026
Areas affected...Central Arkansas to far northwest Mississippi
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 261...263...
Valid 020209Z - 020415Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 261, 263
continues.
SUMMARY...A severe wind/hail threat will likely persist for the next
hour or so across central to eastern Arkansas and far northwest
Mississippi. WW 263 has been expanded in space and extended time to
account for this potential.
DISCUSSION...A 48 knot wind gusts was recently reported at KLIT
(Little Rock, AR) associated with thunderstorms that developed along
the outflow boundary of prior convection. While this activity itself
has become outflow dominant, GOES IR imagery continues to show
strong updraft pulses and percolated convection is noted further
south within the very buoyant warm sector. Consequently, it seems
plausible that some wind (and perhaps localized hail) threat should
persist across central AR over the next hour or so before this
cluster substantially weakens.
Further east, new convection continues to develop along and ahead of
a migratory outflow boundary across the Memphis, TN region. Despite
the onset of nocturnal cooling, very moist boundary-layer conditions
will modulate the degree of low-level stabilization for the next few
hours, allowing for additional thunderstorm development across the
region. Based on MRMS trends, this convection may periodically
intensify to severe limits and could pose a localized hail/wind
threat.
Across both regions, the outflow-dominant nature of the convection
and limited deep-layer wind shear should limit the duration of the
severe threat heading into the late overnight hours, but spatial
expansions and a temporal extension of WW 263 were made to address
the short-term threat.

SPC 0100Z Day 1 Outlook
Day 1 Convective Outlook RESENT 1
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0858 PM CDT Mon Jun 01 2026
Valid 020100Z - 021200Z
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS PARTS OF
THE OZARKS/MID-SOUTH...AND PORTIONS OF THE CENTRAL PLAINS....
...SUMMARY...
Thunderstorms with large hail and severe wind gusts are still
expected this afternoon and evening across parts of the central
Plains. Scattered strong to severe wind gusts are also possible
within the Ozarks and portions of the Mid-South.
...01Z Update...
Notable upper-level low is promote severe convection within the
Central High Plains this evening. This activity with continue for a
few more hours. The most organized convection has become more linear
in southwestern Kansas. This will be the focal point for severe wind
gusts this evening/overnight. Some of this risk may eventually
spread in to northern Oklahoma. Scattered strong to severe storms
are also ongoing in Arkansas/northern Mississippi. These storms will
be capable of large hail and damaging winds over the next few hours.
The primary question remains how long the threat will continue. Some
models still hint at linear organization occurring later tonight,
but confidence is low as to where this will occur. Strongly forced
convection may produce severe gusts in parts of eastern
Montana/western North Dakota. A remaining pocket of enhanced shear
and buoyancy is evident near the SC/GA border. A subtle shortwave
may allow a cluster of storms to move south and east. Isolated
damaging winds would be possible with this activity.
