URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Tornado Watch Number 331
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
235 PM CDT Mon May 26 2025
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Tornado Watch for portions of
South-Central and West-Central Texas
* Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 235 PM until
1000 PM CDT.
* Primary threats include...
A couple tornadoes possible
Widespread large hail likely with isolated very large hail
events to 4 inches in diameter possible
Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
mph possible
SUMMARY...Intense thunderstorm development including supercells will
increasingly occur through mid/late afternoon across the Edwards
Plateau/Concho Valley southeastward along a boundary toward the Hill
Country and I-35 corridor of south-central Texas. Very large hail is
expected with the most intense storms given the magnitude of the
instability, while some tornado threat will exist as well. Clusters
of east/southeastward-moving storms may evolve by early evening with
a heightened severe-wind potential toward the Hill Country/I-35
vicinity.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 90 statute miles
east and west of a line from 40 miles north northwest of San Angelo
TX to 50 miles south southeast of Hondo TX. For a complete depiction
of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS
WOU1).
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
tornadoes and 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.
&&
OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 330...
AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
surface and aloft to 4 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
gusts to 65 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 600. Mean
