   Mesoscale Discussion 0797
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1125 PM CDT Mon May 16 2022

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

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 234...

   Valid 170425Z - 170600Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 234
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Gusty winds will accompany thunderstorms as they spread
   across northwestern Texas and southwestern Oklahoma.

   DISCUSSION...Small MCS has evolved over northwestern TX late this
   evening. High-level cirrus/outflow with this activity continues to
   expand, suggesting updraft strength remains healthy. While 00z
   sounding from OUN was notably capped, forward propagation continues
   at roughly 35kt toward the east-northeast. Downstream environment is
   a bit more moist and LLJ has strengthened and shifted slightly east.
   This should support organization for at least several more hours.
   Severe wind gusts have been noted with this MCS and wind remains the
   primary threat.
