   The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

   * Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
     Western and central Oklahoma
     Texas and Oklahoma Panhandles

   * Effective this Friday morning from 415 AM until NOON CDT.

   * Primary threats include...
     Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
       inches in diameter possible
     Scattered damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible

   SUMMARY...Hail potential will increase over the watch area the next
   few hours as scattered thunderstorms continue to develop and
   increase in coverage from the Panhandles into western Oklahoma.
   Activity should coalesce into a semi-elevated, forward-propagating
   storm complex through mid-morning, sweeping east or east-southeast
   across western/central Oklahoma, with an increasing threat for
   severe gusts as the complex gets better-organized and approaches a
   surface front.
