   spread east-southeastward toward east/southeast Texas and the
   coastal plain through evening.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 110
   statute miles east and west of a line from 35 miles north of Lufkin

   watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   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.
