   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 372
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   240 PM EDT Sun Jul 11 2021

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Western Maryland
     Western and Central Pennsylvania
     Northern West Virginia

   * Effective this Sunday afternoon and evening from 240 PM until
     900 PM EDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 65 mph possible
     A tornado or two possible

   SUMMARY...Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop
   across the region through the afternoon. A moist air mass, moderate
   instability, and seasonally strong deep-layer winds will support
   organized storms including some supercells. Damaging winds should be
   the most common risk, but a tornado could also occur, particularly
   across Pennsylvania where low-level shear is maximized near the warm
   front.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 80
   statute miles north and south of a line from 40 miles southwest of
   Wheeling WV to 45 miles east of State College PA. 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.

   OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 371...
