    Areas affected...Western into central OK

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 242...

    Valid 190531Z - 190630Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 242
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A line of severe thunderstorms producing gusts of 55-65
    mph will continue tracking east/southeast the next several hours
    across parts of western into central OK.

    DISCUSSION...A mature line of storms across far northwest OK and the
    northeast TX Panhandle is tracking east/southeast at around 30-40
    kt. A 59 mph gust was measured by the Oklahoma Mesonet site at
    Slapout in the past hour while the site at Arnett measured a 61 mph
    gust at 1220 am LT. Other gusts around 50-65 mph have been noted in
    Oklahoma Mesonet and West Texas Mesonet observations. Latest radar
    data continues to indicate areas of strong velocity aloft. A gust
    front appears to be surging ahead of northern portions of the line
    across northwest OK. Strong gusts may occur along the gust front,
    though with time this may tend to decrease the intensity of the main
    body of convection, as appears to be occurring across parts of
    southern KS.=20

    Surface dewpoints in the mid/upper 60s are noted across parts of
    west-central into central OK with a reservoir of strong instability
    in place. While boundary-layer inhibition may limit more widespread
    severe gust potential, it appears likely that at least sporadic
    gusts in the 55-65 mph range will continue the next few hours. Given
    the current track of convection, addition counties in west-central
    and central OK may need to be added to the WW 242 if current trends
    are maintained.

    Areas affected...portions of central/eastern OK into the ArkLaTex

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 227...

    Valid 192030Z - 192200Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 227
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The risk mainly for large hail, isolated damaging gusts,
    and perhaps a tornado will continue this afternoon/evening across
    portions of eastern OK and the ArkLaTex. Additional storm
    development over central OK may spread eastward with a severe threat
    later this afternoon/evening.

    DISCUSSION...As of 2025 UTC, regional radar analysis showed several
    strong to severe storms ongoing along the Red River across portions
    of southern OK and northeastern TX within WW227. Over the last
    several hours, these storms have produced occasional reports of
    severe hail with the strongest cores. These storms are ongoing
    within an environment characterized by moderate buoyancy with
    2000-2500 J/kg of MLCAPE and vertical shear of 35-40 kt, along and
    south of a remnant outflow boundary. Observational and hi-res model
    guidance trends suggest these storms (including a few supercell
    structures) will likely continue to pose a severe risk as they track
    eastward towards portions of the AR this afternoon/evening. Hail is
    expected to be the primary threat given the favorable buoyancy and
    moderate deep-layer shear. Isolated strong wind gusts and perhaps a
    tornado are possible, though much less certain given modest
    low-level flow.

    Farther north and west into portions of central OK, more storm
    development was noted along the slow-moving cold front near a
    remnant MCV. Slow to develop thus far, a slightly muted
    thermodynamic environment may allow for additional storm development
    through the afternoon and into this evening. Should these storms
    mature, the primary risk would again likely be hail with elongated,
    but effectively straight-line hodographs. However, confidence in the
    evolution of these storms is much lower owing to the slower recovery
    of the previously overturned air mass.
