    Areas affected...Parts of western and central OK and extreme
    northwest TX

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 207...

    Valid 240050Z - 240145Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 207
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Storm development remains possible yet this evening across
    western and central Oklahoma and adjacent extreme northwest Texas,
    though current thinking suggests severe potential may be isolated.
    An additional severe-weather threat is being monitored for later
    tonight (after 2 AM CDT) for much of western, northern, and central
    Oklahoma, as the potential exists for a fast-moving line of storms
    (producing damaging winds) to track southeast from western Kansas.

    DISCUSSION...Trends in early evening local radar imagery and
    lightning data indicated a couple of storms forming across southwest
    OK (Greer and Jackson Counties) where the environment remained very
    unstable (MLCAPE exceeding 3000 J/kg) and effective bulk shear was
    increasing with time to at least 40 kt. This CAPE/shear parameter
    space in addition to steep lapse rates and vertically veering winds
    per 00Z OUN sounding and an expected increase in southerly low-level
    winds across western OK suggest all severe hazards will be possible
    during the early evening. A lack of discernible low-level
    convergence in the eastern part of WW 207 to focus storm development
    suggests this part of the watch could be canceled early.

    The latest runs of the operational HRRR indicated a
    forward-propagating MCS advancing to the southeast from eastern
    CO/western KS and reaching northwestern OK around 07Z (2 AM CDT),
    and into central OK by 10-11Z (5-6 AM CDT). Given the reservoir of
    instability across the southern Plains and expected strengthening
    southerly low-level jet tonight, the short-term forecast confidence
    continues to increase with this scenario.
