    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 31...

    Valid 080303Z - 080400Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 31
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Scattered convection will linger across mainly the
    northern/central portions of ww31 this evening.

    DISCUSSION...Surface front is gradually advancing south across the
    southern High Plains this evening but convection has not developed
    along this boundary to any degree across northwest OK. Most robust
    convection has gradually weakened, partially due to weaker buoyancy
    due to onset of nocturnal cooling. Additionally, 1km AGL flow has
    gradually veered and this is not particularly advantageous given the
    decreasing instability. 00z sounding from OKC exhibited steep lapse
    rates, but PW values are seasonally low around 3/4". With
    boundary-layer decoupling it may become increasingly difficult to
    maintain organized severe updrafts. While an isolated hail report
    can not be ruled out, overall trends suggest severe threat will
    remain marginal from this point forward.
