Areas affected...south-central Oklahoma into North Texas

Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 165...

Valid 050057Z - 050300Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 165
continues.

SUMMARY...Severe potential continues across south-central
Oklahoma/WW 165, and should gradually expand south of the Red River.
New WW may be required into North Texas.

DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a cluster of severe storms --
producing large hail and possibly locally damaging winds -- moving
southward across south-central Oklahoma.  The storms are ongoing
near the advancing surface cold front, with convection backbuilding
southwestward along the front at the intersection of the front, and
a southwestward-moving outflow.

While the evening FWD (Fort Worth) RAOB reveals substantial capping
which -- combined with eventual boundary-layer stabilization should
limit temporal and spatial threat into North Texas, a small/new
Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed in the short term.
