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.
