THREATS
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
SITUATION
Supercell thunderstorms will quickly develop this
afternoon and evening while posing a threat for very large to
possibly giant hail initially (up to 3-4 inches in diameter). The
threat for a few tornadoes will increase this evening with any
persistent supercells, and a strong tornado appears possible. An
increasing threat for severe/damaging winds up to 70-80 mph should
also occur as thunderstorms eventually grow upscale into one or more
bowing clusters.
The tornado watch area is approximately along and 60 statute miles
east and west of a line from 35 miles north of Abilene TX to 15
miles east southeast of Del Rio TX. For a complete depiction of the
watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU1).
PRECAUTIONS
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.
