   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Oklahoma Panhandle
     Northwest and Texas Panhandle

   * Effective this Thursday afternoon and evening from 240 PM until

   SUMMARY...Several high-based storms should develop across the
   Panhandles and eventually consolidate into a southward-moving
   cluster. Isolated severe hail will mainly be possible through early
   evening, but severe wind gusts should be the main hazard.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 95
   statute miles north and south of a line from 75 miles east of Borger
   TX to 45 miles west of Plainview TX. For a complete depiction of the
   watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU1).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
