    Areas affected...Northwest Texas...Southwest Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 260957Z - 261230Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...An isolated threat for large hail and severe wind gusts
    will be possible over the next couple of hours. A brief tornado may
    also occur. Although weather watch issuance appears unlikely, the
    situation will continue to be monitored.

    DISCUSSION...A small severe convective cluster is currently ongoing
    across the far southeastern Texas Panhandle and far southwest
    Oklahoma. This convection is expected to continue moving eastward
    along an east-to-west gradient of instability, where the RAP has
    MUCAPE in the 1000 to 1500 J/kg range. Forecast soundings eastward
    along the projected path of the storms have effective shear near 35
    knots with 700-500 mb lapse rates near 7 C/km. This environment
    should be enough to support a continued severe threat over the next
    couple of hours. An isolated large hail threat and potential for
    severe gusts will be possible, mainly with supercells. In addition,
    forecast soundings suggest that enough low-level shear is present
    for an isolated tornado threat. The storms will continue to move
    eastward across southwest Oklahoma, and trends will be monitored for
    additional upscale growth and organization.
