The NWS Storm Prediction Center has issued a

* Tornado Watch for portions of
  Eastern New Mexico
  The Oklahoma Panhandle

* Effective this Friday afternoon and evening from 455 PM until
  1100 PM CDT.

  A few tornadoes and a couple intense tornadoes possible
  Scattered large hail and isolated very large hail events to 4
    inches in diameter likely
  Scattered damaging winds and isolated significant gusts to 75
    mph possible

SUMMARY...Multiple intense supercells will likely pose a threat for
very large to potentially giant hail this afternoon and evening as
they move generally east-southeastward. The largest hailstones may
reach up to 3-4 inches in diameter. A few tornadoes will also be
possible with any sustained supercells, mainly this evening as the
low-level jet strengthens. Scattered severe/damaging winds with peak
gusts up to 60-75 mph may become an increasing concern later this
evening if thunderstorms can congeal into one or more bowing
clusters.

The tornado watch area is approximately along and 85 statute miles

50 miles southeast of Hobbs NM. For a complete depiction of the
watch see the associated watch outline update (WOUS64 KWNS WOU9).
