SUMMARY...Thunderstorm development is possible along a stalled
boundary through the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, and storms will
spread eastward through late evening. The storm environment is very
favorable for splitting supercells capable of producing giant hail
(up to 4 inches in diameter) and damaging winds. The extreme
instability along the boundary could also support an isolated
tornado or two.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 40
statute miles north and south of a line from 45 miles southwest of
Fort Worth TX to 55 miles northeast of Longview 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.
