strong-severe thunderstorms initially over west-central Texas, and

north of a warm front, will pose a threat for hail and occasional

damaging gusts as it moves over the watch area.  A tornado cannot be

Stephenville TX to 45 miles northeast of Corsicana TX. For a

complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
