URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED

Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 126

NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

325 PM CDT Fri May 3 2019



The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a



* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of

  Far Southeast New Mexico

  West Texas



* Effective this Friday afternoon and evening from 325 PM until

  1100 PM CDT.



* Primary threats include...

  Scattered large hail likely with 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...Widely scattered multicell/supercell storms will continue

to intensify through the afternoon with aid of additional heating

and moist southeasterly low-level upslope flow. While deep-layer

shear is not overly strong, adequate shear exists for these

organized storm modes given very steep mid-level lapse rates and

moderate buoyancy. Large hail should be the most common impact.



The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 55

statute miles east and west of a line from 30 miles northwest of

Plainview TX to 20 miles southwest of Dryden TX. For a complete

depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update

(WOUS64 KWNS WOU6).



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.
