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.

OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 428...WW 429...

AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A
few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector
26030.
