0513 PM CDT THU APR 30 2009

AREAS AFFECTED...NCNTRL OK

CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH POSSIBLE

VALID 302213Z - 302345Z

A SEVERE THREAT MAY DEVELOP THIS EVENING IF THUNDERSTORMS CAN
INITIATE IN NRN AND CNTRL OK. THE STORMS SHOULD BE CAPABLE OF
PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND AN ISOLATED TORNADO/WIND DAMAGE THREAT. THE
AREA WILL BE CLOSELY MONITORED FOR SIGNS OF STORM INITIATION WITH WW
ISSUANCE POSSIBLE.

LATEST SFC ANALYSIS SHOWS A WELL-DEFINED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM
WOODWARD EXTENDING ESEWD TO NEAR GUTHRIE AND MUSKOGEE. NORTH OF THE
BOUNDARY...THE AIRMASS IS STRONGLY CAPPED AND THE RUC SUGGESTS
LOW-LEVEL CONVERGENCE IS INCREASING ALONG THE BOUNDARY ITSELF. IN
SPITE OF WEAK LARGE-SCALE FORCING...STORM INITIATION REMAINS
POSSIBLE SOMETIME FROM EARLY TO MID EVENING ESPECIALLY IF LOW-LEVEL
CONVERGENCE CAN CONTINUE TO INCREASE. IF STORMS CAN
INITIATE...REGIONAL PROFILERS ACROSS THE MCD AREA SUGGEST ABOUT 40
KT OF 0-6 KM SHEAR EXISTS. IN ADDITION...RUC ANALYSIS SHOWS MODERATE
TO STRONG INSTABILITY ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. THIS
ENVIRONMENT SHOULD EASILY SUPPORT A THREAT FOR SUPERCELLS WITH A
TORNADO...LARGE HAIL AND ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE POSSIBLE.
