A tornado watch was issued at 4:30pm. The NWS has updated its tornado forecast by adding an area in Kansas and Nebraska.  The area in brown has a significant risk of tornadoes. Where you see hatching means any tornado could be strong (≥EF-2 intensity). I'll keep an eye on this for you and will post any tornado watch(es) here on the blow with storm updates on Twitter/X   @usweatherexpert. 

 As hail is forecast to fall in the southern High Plains today, I thought this would be handy. 

There was hail up to 2" in diameter in north central Kansas. Elsewhere, the hail was smaller and scattered and should not have done a great deal of damage. 

I'm passing this severe thunderstorm watch along because of the forecast of 75 mph gusts and hail to tennis ball size. However, I do not see much of a tornado threat. Nevertheless, I could be wrong so keep an eye out if a strong thunderstorm moves into your area. 

I've been watching coverage of The Master's since about 10am Central time and have not seen a single cloud. I have no idea where this "forecast" came from (Augusta National, ESPN, the broadcast producer's weather app?) but it is awful. It would be nice if as much attention was paid to the weather forecast as to expensive technology that tells us how many times per minute a golfball in the air rotates.
