    Areas affected...Southern/Central Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 31...

    Valid 232307Z - 240100Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 31
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Severe threat within WW31 continues with large hail,
    strong winds, and perhaps a brief/weak tornado possible. Farther
    south in north Texas, a storm or two may develop and become severe
    in the next hour or two.

    DISCUSSION...A severe storm with a history of large hail is moving
    east of Oklahoma City. This storm should maintain its intensity for
    the next hour or two before weakening and/or becoming elevated as it
    reaches a more stable environment. A couple of other updrafts are
    maturing in southern Oklahoma just north of the Red River within in
    environment characterized by 500-1000 J/kg of MLCAPE and 40-50 knots
    of effective bulk shear. However, surface convergence is weaker than
    in central Oklahoma and warming 850 hPa temperatures/cooling surface temperatures may limit intensification and duration of a storm in
    this area. More storms may develop along the dryline and outflow
    from the severe storm near OKC in the next couple of hours across
    central Oklahoma, but there remains uncertainty to convective
    initiation and intensity with this possible scenario.

    Storms are trying to initiate west of Ft. Worth along the dryline.
    Surface convergence is more diffuse than in central Oklahoma, but a
    few surface wind observations have backed slightly to the southeast
    in the last two hours, which corresponded to maturing updrafts in
    the Cu field. A storm or two may develop and move east/northeast
    across north Texas in the next hour or two, and any storm that
    develops could become strong/severe with hail/wind as the primary
    threats.
