Areas affected...central and eastern OK
Concerning...Tornado Watch 694...696...
Valid 310215Z - 310345Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 694, 696 continues.
SUMMARY...An all-hazards severe threat will persist through
midnight, with the risk for a couple tornadoes greater over
northeast to east-central Oklahoma.
DISCUSSION...An extensive linear convective band along the cold
front has a history of sporadic wind damage from severe gusts,
measured recently to 71 mph at the Fort Cobb OK-Mesonet. A separate,
nearly linear convective line has separately evolved out of earlier
semi-discrete convection along the far southeast KS/northeast OK
border area. The frontal convection continues to be largely undercut
by outflows along it, limiting potential for sustained low-level
mesocyclones. The threat for a couple tornadoes may be greatest
along the southern portion of the lead convective band and with any
discrete supercells that might be sustained from southeast into
east-central OK. Otherwise, the expectation is for a continued
sporadic severe wind threat and isolated hail.
