  Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible

SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development is expected from 4-5 pm CDT in
areas southeast of San Angelo, and other storms may approach the Rio
Grande near Del Rio later this evening.  The storm environment will
favor splitting supercells capable of producing isolated very large
hail (near or larger than tennis balls), as well as isolated
damaging outflow gusts through late evening.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 55
statute miles east and west of a line from 70 miles north northeast
of Junction TX to 35 miles west southwest of Del Rio TX. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).

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.

&&

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
28015.
