Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 689
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK

The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

    inches in diameter possible

SUMMARY...Scattered thunderstorms are forecast to continue to
develop and intensify through the afternoon and into the evening
across the Watch area.  A few of the stronger thunderstorms will
likely acquire supercell characteristics and pose an initial risk
for large hail (1 to 2 inches in diameter) and localized severe
gusts.  Upscale growth into a mix of cells and linear segments this
evening will facilitate the severe risk potentially beco*ing
primarily a damaging wind threat (60 to 70 mph gusts) before this
activity weakens late this evening.

The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 60
statute miles east and west of a line from 30 miles north of Buffalo
NY to 35 miles south of Wheeling WV. For a co*plete depiction of the
watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU9).
