   URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 368
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   355 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2024

   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of 
     Southeast New Mexico
     Southwest Texas

   * Effective this Saturday afternoon and evening from 355 PM until
     1100 PM CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 3.5
       inches in diameter likely
     Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
       mph possible
     A tornado or two possible

   SUMMARY...Widely scattered to scattered thunderstorms are forecast
   to develop this afternoon into the early evening.  Supercells
   capable of large to giant hail will be possible.  As storms mature
   into the early evening, a tornado risk may also develop for an hour
   or two as storms move into richer moisture over parts of the Pecos
   Valley.  A cluster of severe storms may evolve towards the mid to
   late evening with an increasing risk for severe gusts accompanying
   these storms.

   The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 75
   statute miles east and west of a line from 60 miles north northwest
   of Roswell NM to 60 miles southwest of Dryden TX. For a complete
   depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline update
   (WOUS64 KWNS WOU8).

   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 365...WW 366...WW 367...

   3.5 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65 knots. A
   few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm motion vector
