   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   940 AM CDT Tue Apr 9 2024

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Tornado Watch for portions of 
     Central Texas

   * Effective this Tuesday morning and afternoon from 940 AM until
     500 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     A few tornadoes possible
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2.5
       inches in diameter likely
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible

   SUMMARY...Several thunderstorm clusters, including a mix of
   supercells and bowing line segments, are expected along a stalled
   front across central Texas through the afternoon.  More isolated
   supercell development will be possible later this morning into early
   this afternoon into the I-35 corridor closer to Austin.  The storm
   environment will support the potential for large hail up to 2.5
   inches in diameter, damaging gusts of 60-70 mph, and potentially a
   few tornadoes.

   The tornado watch area is approximately along and 40 statute miles
   north and south of a line from 50 miles west of Austin TX to 140
   miles east northeast of Temple TX. For a complete depiction of the
   watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU4).

   PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

   REMEMBER...A Tornado Watch means conditions are favorable for
   tornadoes and 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.

   &&

   AVIATION...Tornadoes and a few severe thunderstorms with hail
   surface and aloft to 2.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind
   gusts to 60 knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 550. Mean
   storm motion vector 25025.
