   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 496
   CONTINUES.

   SUMMARY...THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER HAS DECREASED...AND
   ADDITIONAL WATCHES ARE NOT EXPECTED.

   DISCUSSION...AN EXPANSIVE AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS PERSISTS FROM THE TX
   PANHANDLE INTO SWRN MO...JUST BEHIND THE SURFACE FRONT AND AIDED BY
   A SWLY LOW-LEVEL JET. WIND AND HAIL THREAT PREVIOUSLY OVER THE TX
   PANHANDLE REGION HAS ENDED AS THE AIR MASS HAS BEEN OVERTURNED AND
   THE FRONTAL INVERSION DEEPENS WITH TIME. A FEW STRONGER STORMS
   REMAIN POSSIBLE MAINLY OVER NWRN TX INTO THE RED RIVER REGION...BUT
   ONLY MARGINAL HAIL OR WIND IS EXPECTED AND ANOTHER WATCH WILL BE NOT
   NEEDED.
