URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 222
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
555 PM CDT Sun May 24 2020
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
The Edwards Plateau into parts of South Texas and the lower Rio
Grande Valley
* Effective this Sunday afternoon from 555 PM until Midnight CDT.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered large hail likely with isolated very large hail events
to 2 inches in diameter possible
Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph likely
A tornado or two possible
SUMMARY...Multiple clusters of storms are expected to develop and
intensify through late evening. Merging outflow and storm
interactions will promote upscale growth, with the potential for
damaging winds and large hail. An isolated tornado cannot be ruled
out with complex storm interactions. The storm clusters are
expected to spread eastward and southeastward into south central and
parts of deep South Texas early tonight.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 65
statute miles east and west of a line from 75 miles northwest of
Hondo TX to 70 miles south southeast of Laredo TX. For a complete
depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
(WOUS64 KWNS WOU2).
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.
