   Day 1 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0651 PM CST Wed Feb 16 2022

   Valid 170100Z - 171200Z

   ...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS MUCH OF
   NORTHERN TEXAS INTO OKLAHOMA...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Mainly damaging winds and hail are expected overnight and into the
   early morning across north Texas and across Oklahoma, reaching into
   western Arkansas late. A brief tornado or two may also occur.

   ...Northern Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas...
   Little change was made to the previous outlook, as the bulk of the
   storm activity is expected to form later tonight. Latest models
   indicate that storms will form around 06Z over northwest Texas near
   and north of the surface low, extending into southwest/west-central
   Oklahoma along the cold front.

   Forecast soundings indicate that the warm sector will remain capped
   until lift along the front and low arrive. When this occurs, an
   expanding area of rain and storms will result, with storm
   interactions likely. A supercell or two will be possible ahead of
   the cold front and in association with the surface low, and this is
   the most favorable corridor for severe storms.
