   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Tornado Watch Number 367
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   120 PM CDT Thu Jun 5 2025

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     East central and southeast New Mexico
     West central Texas

   * Effective this Thursday afternoon and evening from 120 PM until
     1000 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 4
       inches in diameter likely
     Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
       to 80 mph possible

   SUMMARY...Scattered supercell development is expected by mid
   afternoon, and storms will spread eastward through late evening. 
   The initial supercells could produce very large hail of 3-4 inches
   in diameter, with an increasing threat for tornadoes (a couple of
   which could be strong) as the storms interact with a residual
   outflow boundary.  There will also be some potential for upscale
   growth by this evening, with the potential for severe outflow winds
   up to 75 mph.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 95 statute miles
   north and south of a line from 70 miles east southeast of Lubbock TX
   to 70 miles north of Carlsbad NM. For a complete depiction of the
   watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7).

   REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for

   area. Persons in these areas should be on the lookout for
   threatening weather conditions and listen for later statements
   and possible warnings.
