URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED

Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 430

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

1125 PM CDT Sat Jun 22 2019



The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a



* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of

  southwest Kansas

  Oklahoma Panhandle

  northern and eastern Texas Panhandle



* Effective this Saturday night and Sunday morning from 1125 PM

  until 500 AM CDT.



* Primary threats include...

  Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5

    inches in diameter possible

  Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible

  A tornado or two possible



SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorm development will continue

and spread eastward along a cold front advancing across the region

overnight.  Some of this activity will pose a risk for severe hail,

with perhaps some potential for storms to consolidate and pose an

increasing risk for strong surface gusts.  Additionally, an isolated

supercell east of the Amarillo area may persist at least another

couple of hours, posing a risk for severe hail, locally strong

surface gusts and perhaps an additional tornado.



The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 75

statute miles east and west of a line from 35 miles northeast of

Garden City KS to 30 miles east southeast of Dalhart TX. For a

complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline

update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU0).



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.
