   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 412
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   200 PM MDT Fri Jun 13 2025

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Northeast Colorado
     Western Nebraska
     Extreme southwest South Dakota
     Eastern Wyoming

   * Effective this Friday afternoon and evening from 200 PM until
     1000 PM MDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
       to 75 mph possible
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
       inches in diameter possible

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to form and spread east of the
   higher terrain, with the potential for clustering/upscale growth by
   this evening.  Large hail will be possible with the initial, more
   cellular storms (especially across northeast Wyoming where a
   supercell or two will be possible).  However, severe outflow gusts
   of 60-75 mph will become the main threat later this evening as storm
   clusters spread east-southeastward over the High Plains.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
   statute miles east and west of a line from 50 miles north northwest
   of Gillette WY to 15 miles southeast of Akron CO. For a complete
   depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
   (WOUS64 KWNS WOU2).

   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.
