    Areas affected...parts of central and northeast Texas...southeastern
    Oklahoma and adjacent southwestern Arkansas

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 191528Z - 191730Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...An increase in strong thunderstorm development appears
    possible through Noon to 2 PM CDT. This may include evolving
    supercells, accompanied by a risk for tornadoes, in addition to
    large hail. Trends are being monitored for the possibility of a
    severe weather watch.

    DISCUSSION...A few cells have begun intensifying within a broader
    area of convective development now spreading northeast of the I-35
    corridor of central Texas. This appears to have been initially
    supported by large-scale forcing for ascent associated with warm
    advection based near the 700 mb level, downstream of a mid/upper
    perturbation within the belt of westerlies emanating from the
    lower-latitude eastern Pacific. However, the stronger convective
    cores have probably begun to acquire updraft inflow emanating from
    the seasonably moist boundary-layer.

    The downstream downstream environment remains capped by an elevated
    mixed layer based near/above 850 mb, but is warming with insolation.
    Coupled with the forcing for ascent, erosion of the inhibition may
    allow for a substantive further increase in stronger thunderstorm
    development during the next several hours. This may include a few
    intensifying supercells. In the presence of at least modestly
    enlarging, clockwise curved low-level hodographs, this activity may
    become accompanied by a risk for tornadoes, in addition to large
    hail.
