Overview

• Severe Thunderstorm Watch 613 is in effect from 2:55 PM to 10:00 PM MDT for southeast Colorado, southwest Kansas, northeast New Mexico, and the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles.
• Primary hazards under Watch 613 include large hail up to 2 inches, isolated damaging wind gusts to 65 mph, and a brief tornado risk with initially discrete supercells.
• SPC notes that early supercells near the Front Range and Raton Mesa may organize before evolving into one or two clusters that could carry a wind threat into the evening.
• WPC warns of localized flash flooding from northern Kansas into central and eastern Nebraska and into western and central Iowa, with training storms producing 1–2 inches per hour and localized 2–4 inch totals.
• A separate coastal low near southeastern Virginia earlier produced heavy bands with 0.5–2 inch per hour rates over areas that already saw 2–4 inches, prompting flash-flood impacts near Norfolk and Virginia Beach.
