   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 359
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   400 PM CDT Sat Jul 11 2020

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Eastern Iowa
     Northern Illinois
     Far Northeast Missouri

   * Effective this Saturday afternoon from 400 PM until Midnight
     CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
       to 75 mph possible
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
       inches in diameter possible
     A tornado or two possible

   SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms may persist/redevelop along
   a northwest/southeast-oriented boundary across the region, while
   other storms are expected to further organize across east-central
   Iowa and move southeastward into the region. Large hail is possible
   but there will be an increasing concern for damaging winds across
   the region by evening. A tornado cannot be ruled out, particularly
   along the aforementioned boundary.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 65
   statute miles north and south of a line from 25 miles west southwest
   of Cedar Rapids IA to 15 miles north northeast of Danville IL. For a
   complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
   update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU9).

   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.
