CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 121...

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 121
CONTINUES.

80 KT 500 MB WEST NORTHWESTERLY MID-LEVEL JET STREAK CONTINUES TO
DIG ACROSS THE SOUTH CENTRAL ROCKIES. THE LEADING EDGE OF STRONGER
MID-LEVEL COOLING/LIFT IN LEFT EXIT REGION OF THIS FEATURE IS NOW
SPREADING ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA...WHERE LOW-LEVEL WARM ADVECTION
IS FOCUSING STRONGER LIFT ALONG WARM FRONT NORTH/NORTHEAST OF
SURFACE LOW. DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS STRONG AND SUPPORTIVE OF
SUPERCELLS...BUT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT TO THIS POINT APPEARS TO
HAVE BEEN SLOWED BY WEAK INSTABILITY.

HOWEVER...ACTIVITY NEXT FEW HOURS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP EAST
SOUTHEASTWARD WITH STRONGER FORCING TOWARD BETTER LOW-LEVEL MOIST
RETURN FLOW...EAST OF LAWTON/ WICHITA FALLS. THUS...
INTENSIFICATION OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY STILL SEEMS PROBABLE IN
INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
THROUGH AT LEAST THE 01-02Z. A FEW SEVERE STORMS ARE
POSSIBLE...PRIMARILY WITH LARGE HAIL/GUSTY WINDS.
