east/southeastward-moving storm clusters may evolve by evening,

particularly across North Texas to far southwest Arkansas/northwest

Louisiana, with widespread wind damage including wind-driven large

hail.



The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles

north and south of a line from 45 miles north northwest of Brownwood

TX to 30 miles north northeast of El Dorado AR. For a complete

depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
