0141 PM CDT Thu Sep 18 2025
Areas affected...Parts of eastern OK...northeast TX...western
AR...and far southwest MO
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely
Valid 181841Z - 182045Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...5 percent
SUMMARY...Isolated pulse-severe storms are possible through the
afternoon. The stronger storms will be capable of producing locally
damaging gusts and sporadic, marginally severe hail.
DISCUSSION...Isolated to widely scattered thunderstorms are evolving
within broadly confluent low-level flow extending from northwest AR
across southeast OK, with a focus over higher terrain features.
While this activity is generally displaced from the stronger
midlevel southwesterlies attendant to a shortwave trough traversing
KS, strong boundary-layer heating/mixing amid middle/upper 60s
dewpoints is yielding a favorable environment for pulse-severe
storms. Locally damaging gusts and sporadic, marginally severe hail
will be possible with the stronger storms through the afternoon.
Given the sporadic/mostly disorganized storm mode, a watch is not
expected here.
