Areas affected...western into southern Oklahoma

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 194...

Valid 100221Z - 100415Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 194
continues.

SUMMARY...Severe gusts to around 60 mph and isolated hail remains
possible from northwest into south-central Oklahoma. Depending on
convective trends, a new watch may be considered.

DISCUSSION...The initial supercells which produced large hail have
decreased in intensity as they continue eastward across southwest
and toward south-central OK, though still capable of hail and severe
gusts. Loss of heating / increasing inhibition are negatively
impacting these storms. However, the air mass is more moist with
southward extend toward the Red River, with PWAT of 1.00-1.25".
Given south/southeast low-level flow, this may at least partially
counteract the negative influence of a cooling boundary layer. Even
if new development is unlikely, this environment may sustain the
ongoing cells, with potential for downstream severe gusts or hail
over 1.00".

To the north, a line of storms continues to push southeastward out
of northwest OK, where a wind gust of 66 mph was measured at KAVK.
This system will likely persist to some degree as it translates
south/southeast along the theta-e gradient which currently extends
through central OK. Given the instability axis remains from western
through southern OK, development along southwest flanks are
preferred.
