URGENT - IMMEDIATE BROADCAST REQUESTED
Severe Thunderstorm Watch Number 637
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
215 PM CST Sun Nov 23 2025
The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a
* Severe Thunderstorm Watch for portions of
West Texas
* Effective this Sunday afternoon and evening from 215 PM until
1000 PM CST.
* Primary threats include...
Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 2
inches in diameter possible
Isolated damaging wind gusts to 70 mph possible
A tornado or two possible
SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are expected to develop over the next few
hours from the Permian Basin into the Pecos Valley. Strong vertical
shear overlapping modest buoyancy is expected to support initial
supercells, with large hail as the primary risk. A few strong gusts
and a brief tornado are possible as well. A trend towards a more
linear mode is anticipated with time, but the threat for isolated
hail and damaging gusts will likely persist through the evening.
The severe thunderstorm watch area is approximately along and 85
statute miles east and west of a line from 70 miles north northeast
of Big Spring TX to 75 miles east southeast of Fort Stockton TX. For
a complete depiction of the watch see the associated watch outline
update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU7).
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.
