The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

  West-central Texas

* Primary threats include...

    inches in diameter possible
  Isolated damaging wind gusts to 60 mph possible

SUMMARY...Thunderstorms have developed along a dryline over the
eastern Permian Basin area, with additional towers evident to the
south in satellite imagery.  The environment supports significant
(2+ inch) damaging hail with any storms that can persist, as
convection shifts eastward toward the Concho Valley region.  Though
capping strengthens eastward from the dryline, isolated severe gusts
also may occur.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
statute miles east and west of a line from 40 miles southwest of San
Angelo TX to 55 miles north northeast of San Angelo TX. For a
complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU3).
