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 305...ww 306...

Discussion...potential for severe thunderstorms will increase across
the watch area through the afternoon as a cold front supported by
strong upper trough spreads southward. Very unstable airmass now
situated ahead of the front and upper system will fuel intense
thunderstorm updrafts that will develop amidst strong unidirectional
shear. Resulting storms should attain supercell/splitting cell
character with large hail and high winds likely. With time...cell
mergers or some clustering may support the development of line
segments/lewps with increasing chance for more widespread wind
damage.

Aviation...a few severe thunderstorms with hail surface and aloft
to 2 inches. Extreme turbulence and surface wind gusts to 65
knots. A few cumulonimbi with maximum tops to 500. Mean storm
motion vector 32035.
