   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Tornado Watch Number 324
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   650 PM CDT Sun May 26 2024

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     Southeast Illinois
     Southern Indiana
     Western and Central Kentucky

   * Effective this Sunday night and Monday morning from 650 PM
     until 100 AM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Several tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes likely
     Widespread damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 85
       mph likely
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
       inches in diameter likely

   SUMMARY...Scattered supercells are forecast to move into the lower
   Ohio Valley early this evening and pose a risk for tornadoes, some
   potentially strong, and large to very large hail (up 2 to 3 inches
   in diameter).  Severe gusts are forecast to become more prevalent
   later this evening as a severe squall line with embedded supercells
   or mesovortices moves across the Watch area.  A tornado risk will
   probably accompany any stronger line-embedded circulations.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 90 statute miles
   east and west of a line from 70 miles north northeast of Evansville
   IN to 30 miles south southwest of Bowling Green KY. For a complete
   depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
   (WOUS64 KWNS WOU4).

   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.
