692 WWUS83 KGID 181931 SPSGID Special Weather Statement National Weather Service Hastings NE 231 PM CDT Tue Jun 18 2024 KSZ017-182000- Rooks KS- 231 PM CDT Tue Jun 18 2024 ...STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WILL IMPACT ROOKS COUNTY THROUGH 300 PM CDT... At 231 PM CDT, Doppler radar was tracking a cluster of strong thunderstorms capable of producing a landspout along a line extending from near Stockton to 7 miles north of Ogallah. Movement was northeast at 15 mph. HAZARD...Landspouts, wind gusts up to 40 mph, and half inch hail. SOURCE...Radar indicated. IMPACT...Minor damage to outdoor objects is possible. Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured objects. Strong thunderstorms will be near... Stockton, Palco, and Webster State Park around 235 PM CDT. Zurich around 240 PM CDT. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building. Although typically weaker and shorter lived than tornadoes associated with organized supercell thunderstorms, landspout tornadoes can still cause injury or minor damage. Landspouts develop as a surface front or wind shift line interact with a towering cumulus cloud or developing thunderstorms. Landspouts are not usually associated with a wall cloud and are often difficult to detect with weather radar. If a landspout is sighted, first take any necessary tornado safety precautions, and then report the landspout activity to the National Weather Service in Hastings and local law enforcement. A Severe Thunderstorm Watch remains in effect until 800 PM CDT for north central Kansas. && LAT...LON 3934 9960 3957 9940 3957 9905 3955 9904 3913 9931 3913 9961 TIME...MOT...LOC 1931Z 247DEG 15KT 3947 9932 3909 9972 LANDSPOUT...POSSIBLE MAX HAIL SIZE...0.50 IN MAX WIND GUST...40 MPH $$ Thies
