   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 463
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   410 AM CDT Wed Jun 26 2024

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Northwestern Arkansas
     Southeastern Kansas
     Southwestern Missouri
     Northeastern Oklahoma

   * Effective this Wednesday morning from 410 AM until 1100 AM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely
     Isolated large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...Merging areas of strong-severe thunderstorms -- already
   with a history of severe wind in parts of NE, northeastern KS and
   northwestern MO -- should evolve into a new complex and move
   southeastward over the 4-state area of the western Ozarks.  Activity
   may reach the Arkansas River Valley between Tulsa and the Ft. Smith
   area while still potentially severe later this morning.  Damaging
   wind will remain the primary threat, with isolated large hail
   possible predominantly ahead of the main complex.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 85
   statute miles either side of a line from 20 miles northwest of
   Chanute KS to 15 miles south southwest of Russellville AR. For a
   complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
   update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).

   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 461...WW 462...

   AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
   1.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A
   few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean storm motion vector
   32040.
