   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 306
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   110 PM MDT Fri Jun 26 2020

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Eastern Colorado

   * Effective this Friday afternoon and evening from 110 PM until
     900 PM MDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
       inches in diameter likely
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
     A tornado or two possible

   SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are expected to form along the
   Front Range this afternoon, and spread east-southeastward over the
   eastern plains through this evening.  More discrete supercells are
   expected initially, with the threat for large hail.  Upscale growth
   into clusters later this afternoon/evening will support an increase
   in the threat for damaging winds.  An isolated tornado cannot be
   ruled out with the initial storms, especially near the Palmer
   Divide.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 75
   statute miles east and west of a line from 60 miles north northwest
   of Akron CO to 50 miles west southwest of Springfield CO. For a
   complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
   update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6).

   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.

   OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 305...

   AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
   2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 60 knots. A
   few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector
   29020.
