   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS
   CENTRAL/EASTERN OK AND NORTH TX...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Scattered severe thunderstorms remain possible this evening into
   tonight across Oklahoma and from southwest into northeast Texas.
   Damaging winds and large hail are the primary severe hazards. A
   tornado or two is also possible.

   ...01Z Update...

   ...Southern Plains...
   Recent surface analysis places a stalled cold front from southeast
   KS southwestward through southwest OK and adjacent northwest TX.
   Strong to severe thunderstorms have been ongoing for several hours
   ahead of this front across OK and into the TX Big Country. Low-level
   southerly flow will strengthen over the next several hours, and the
   expectation is for redevelopment to continue across this area as
   warm-air advection occurs across storm outflows. Wind profiles
   support organized storm structures and strong instability is
   expected to remain in place. As such, the potential for supercells
   will persist. Hail and strong wind gusts are the primary threat. A
   tornado or two is also possible, but the clustered storm mode and
   tendency for redevelopment over the same areas suggests storm
   interference is likely, limiting the potential for tornadogenesis.
   There is also some potential for eventual upscale growth into one or
   more organized convective lines but current radar trends suggest it
   could be several hours before this occurs. 

   ...Elsewhere...
   A damaging wind gust or two remains possible across portions of the
   central Carolinas. Ongoing thunderstorms scattered across the
   Southeast are expected to gradually diminish over the next few hours
   as nocturnal stabilization continues.
