URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED

Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 45

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

605 PM CDT Mon Mar 22 2021



The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a



* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of

  Central and North Texas



* Effective this Monday night from 605 PM until Midnight CDT.



* Primary threats include...

  Scattered large hail events to 1.5 inches in diameter possible

  Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible

  A tornado or two possible



SUMMARY...A modest instability and strong shear environment will

support isolated strong to severe thunderstorms across central into

north-central Texas this evening. Some supercells will be possible

particularly across central Texas, while a line of organizing storms

may otherwise develop toward the I-35 corridor/north-central Texas

including the Metroplex vicinity. Severe hail/wind will be the

primary hazards, but a tornado risk cannot be entirely ruled as a

low-level jet increases after sunset.



The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 70

statute miles east and west of a line from 40 miles north of Fort

Worth TX to 60 miles southwest of Temple TX. For a complete

depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update

(WOUS64 KWNS WOU5).



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.
