   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Tornado Watch Number 104
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   200 AM CDT Sun Apr 12 2020

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     Central Texas

   * Effective this Sunday morning from 200 AM until 800 AM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     A few tornadoes likely with a couple intense tornadoes possible
     Widespread large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5
       inches in diameter likely
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely

   SUMMARY...Clusters of supercells will likely persist through the
   overnight hours, with the potential for storm mergers and upscale
   growth into a larger convective system.  The storm environment will
   favor a threat for tornadoes and very large hail with the
   supercells, and some increase in the damaging wind threat once
   upscale growth occurs later this morning.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 65 statute miles
   north and south of a line from 45 miles north northwest of Del Rio
   TX to 30 miles east southeast of Temple TX. For a complete depiction
   of the watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS
   WOU4).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...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.
