   Areas affected...Northern/Eastern Oklahoma...Western Arkansas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 358...360...

   Valid 120359Z - 120530Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 358, 360
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe threat should gradually sag southeast across
   northern and eastern Oklahoma.

   DISCUSSION...An expansive area of deep convection has evolved across
   northern and eastern Oklahoma this evening. A reservoir of very
   moist/unstable air has yet to be overturned across OK/AR this
   evening where MLCAPE of 3000-4000 J/kg remains. Thunderstorms over
   eastern OK have recently increased their forward propagation to near
   35kt with the leading edge approaching the southern-most portion of
   ww358 over Le Flore County. There is some concern this activity may
   propagate south of the Red River; if so, a new ww may be considered.

   Farther northwest, thunderstorms have struggled to build a
   sufficient cold pool that would initiate a southward surge. However,
   this may begin to change soon. Latest radar data suggests a weak MCV
   may be forming over northwest OK and if so, an increase in
   convection may begin soon that would result in a more southward push
   toward central OK. Wind/hail remain possible.
