   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 45
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   340 PM CDT Mon Mar 14 2022

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Central and East Texas

   * Effective this Monday afternoon and evening from 340 PM until
     1000 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
       mph possible
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5
       inches in diameter possible
     A tornado or two possible

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to develop along and ahead of a
   cold front as it moves eastward across central Texas into east
   Texas. Enough instability and vertical shear are in place to support
   severe thunderstorms capable of large to very large (i.e. diameter
   greater than 2" in diameter) hail and strong wind gusts. An isolated
   tornado or two is also possible.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
   statute miles east and west of a line from 30 miles west southwest
   of College Station TX to 10 miles east of Paris TX. For a complete
   depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
   (WOUS64 KWNS WOU5).

   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.

   &&

   AVIATION...A few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft to
   2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A
   few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 450. Mean storm motion vector
   24035.
