URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 415
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
635 PM CDT Sat Jun 14 2025

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
  Western into Central and Southern Oklahoma
  North Texas

* Effective this Saturday evening from 635 PM until 1100 PM CDT.

* Primary threats include...
  Isolated significant damaging wind gusts to 75 mph possible
  Isolated very large hail events to 2.5 inches in diameter
    possible
  A tornado or two possible

SUMMARY...A few supercells are forecast mainly this evening within a
very unstable airmass across portions of Oklahoma into the Red River
Valley.  Large to very large hail appears to be the primary hazard,
but a tornado cannot be ruled out with a storm preferentially
interacting with an outflow boundary draped across the region.
Isolated severe gusts may become more prevalent later this evening
as storms become more efficient at producing outflow.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
statute miles east and west of a line from 30 miles west northwest
of Enid OK to 25 miles southwest of Sherman 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.
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.
