   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Southwest Oklahoma
     Texas South Plains into Northwest Texas

   * Effective this Tuesday evening from 605 PM until 1100 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
       inches in diameter possible
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development is anticipated across the Texas
   South Plains this afternoon. High storm bases and a deeply mixed
   boundary layer suggest that some of these storms could produce
   strong outflow capable of strong/severe gusts. Isolated hail is
   possible as well, particularly with the early-stage development.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 45
   statute miles north and south of a line from 15 miles west of
   Lubbock TX to 40 miles east northeast of Altus OK. 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.
