   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 135
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   935 PM CDT Thu Apr 25 2024

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Southwestern Oklahoma
     West and northwest Texas

   * Effective this Thursday night and Friday morning from 935 PM
     until 400 AM 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...Thunderstorms initially developing near the TX/NM line
   over the Permian Basin/South Plains region should move northeastward
   and evolve into an organized cluster or complex.  Large to very
   large hail and sporadic severe gusts are possible the first few
   hours, transitioning to more of an organized wind threat with
   isolated large hail.  A tornado or two also may occur.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
   statute miles north and south of a line from 35 miles northwest of
   Midland TX to 35 miles south of Altus OK. 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.
