   0757 PM CDT Mon May 04 2020

   Areas affected...south-central Oklahoma into North Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 165...

   Valid 050057Z - 050300Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 165
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe potential continues across south-central
   Oklahoma/WW 165, and should gradually expand south of the Red River.
   New WW may be required into North Texas.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a cluster of severe storms --
   producing large hail and possibly locally damaging winds -- moving
   southward across south-central Oklahoma.  The storms are ongoing
   near the advancing surface cold front, with convection backbuilding
   southwestward along the front at the intersection of the front, and
   a southwestward-moving outflow.

   While the evening FWD (Fort Worth) RAOB reveals substantial capping
   which -- combined with eventual boundary-layer stabilization should
   limit temporal and spatial threat into North Texas, a small/new
   Severe Thunderstorm Watch may be needed in the short term.
