   expected across the region late this afternoon, accompanied by the
   risk for severe hail and strong surface gusts.  Into early evening,
   one or two larger clusters of storms are expected to eventually
   evolve and may gradually pose a risk for more widespread damaging
   wind gusts while spreading eastward.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 75
   statute miles east and west of a line from 70 miles east northeast
   of Borger TX to 55 miles west southwest of Abilene TX. For a

   tornadoes.
