    Areas affected...Parts of northern Oklahoma and adjacent southern
    Kansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch likely=20

    Valid 110116Z - 110345Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...80 percent

    SUMMARY...Thunderstorms are likely to initiate within the next few
    hours, before increasing in coverage through 11 pm-Midnight, with
    stronger activity posing a risk for severe hail and locally strong
    surface gusts.

    DISCUSSION...Trailing one substantive short wave trough progressing
    northeast of the middle Missouri Valley vicinity, another lower
    amplitude perturbation is currently crossing the Colorado/New Mexico
    Rockies and likely to continue into south central portions of the
    Great Plains this evening. Downstream of the trailing feature,
    forcing for ascent aided by mid-level warm advection has contributed
    to high-based convective development spreading east-northeast of the Texas/Oklahoma Panhandle vicinity, where lower/mid tropopsheric
    lapse rates have become rather steep due to insolation and very deep boundary-layer mixing.

    Due to the dry boundary-layer across the higher plains, convection
    has been initially based near the 500 mb level, based to the 00Z
    Amarillo sounding. However, latest Rapid Refresh forecast soundings
    continue to indicate that moistening in the 850-700 mb layer is
    underway across central into western/northern Oklahoma, above a weak slowing/stalling surface front, roughly east of Bartlesville into
    areas northwest of Oklahoma City. Coupled with the moisture
    advection, it appears that the large-scale ascent may lead to
    saturation and the initiation of thunderstorm development across
    north central Oklahoma as early as 02-03Z, before increasing in
    coverage and continuing to spread east-northeastward.

    Beneath 40-50+ kt west-southwesterly mid/upper flow, shear within
    the cloud-bearing layer is strong, with the thermodynamic profiles
    (including cold mid-levels) supportive of supercells posing a risk
    for severe hail. Given the dry post-frontal (but not particularly
    cool) sub-cloud air, locally strong wind gusts may also gradually
    develop through late evening.

    Areas affected...Eastern Texas and Western Louisiana

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 111...

    Valid 030052Z - 030145Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 111 continues.

    SUMMARY...Threat for large hail and tornadoes continues over the
    next few hours.

    DISCUSSION...A line of storms with embedded supercell structures
    located just west of Shreveport and has generally tracked with the
    surface warm front located across central Louisiana. The southern
    most portion of this line has a history of producing 2 inch hail.
    VAD profiles from KSHV have shown an increase in deep layer shear as
    mid-level winds increased over the last couple of hours with the
    low-level jet. 0-3 km shear around 50 kts is being observed by the
    radar. Cells along the warm front will continue to pose a risk of
    severe hail over the next few hours. Any discrete cells that can
    track into this environment will also pose a risk of severe hail and
    tornadoes, as 0-1 km SRH is observed around 400 m2/s2. Low-level
    shear is expected to further increase over the next few hours
    increasing the risk for tornadoes.

    Areas affected...far southern IN...central/eastern KY into western Virginia/West Virginia

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 151855Z - 152100Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorms potential may increase over the next
    couple of hours from far southern Indiana into parts of
    central/eastern Kentucky and western Virginia/West Virginia. Large
    hail and strong gusts would accompany any stronger storms that
    develop.

    DISCUSSION...An increase in cumulus has been noted in visible
    satellite imagery over the past hour, especially from eastern KY
    into West Virginia. Strong heating and surface dewpoints in the mid
    50s to mid 60s F beneath very steep midlevel lapse rates are
    resulting in MLCAPE up to 1500 J/kg. While large-scale ascent is
    weak over the region, continued heating and erosion of weak
    inhibition amid 30-40 kt of midlevel northwesterly flow, should
    foster at least isolated thunderstorm development over the next few
    hours. Any storms that develop would have potential to become
    severe, with steep midlevel lapse rates and straight/elongated
    hodographs supporting severe hail. Additionally, steep low-level
    lapse rates also will foster some potential for strong/locally
    damaging gusts.=20

    Some uncertainty exists in timing and westward extent of severe
    potential. The MCD area will continued to be monitored for possible
    watch issuance over the next few hours.
