   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 262
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   235 PM CDT Sat Jun 10 2023

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Central and east Texas

   * Effective this Saturday afternoon and evening from 235 PM until
     1000 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3
       inches in diameter likely
     Scattered damaging winds likely with isolated significant gusts
       to 75 mph possible
     A tornado or two possible

   SUMMARY...Scattered supercells are expected to form this afternoon
   along and south-through-west of an outflow boundary across the
   southern Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.  The initial discrete storms
   will have the potential to produce isolated very large hail up to 3
   inches in diameter.  Storms will move southeastward this evening
   with the potential for upscale growth and an increasing threat for
   damaging winds of 60-75 mph.  An isolated tornado or two could occur
   with supercells along the slow-moving parts of the outflow boundary
   late this afternoon.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 70
   statute miles north and south of a line from 40 miles south
   southwest of Stephenville TX to 50 miles northeast of Lufkin TX. 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.
