    Areas affected...Southeast Oklahoma...Northeast Texas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 45...46...

    Valid 150027Z - 150230Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 45, 46
    continues.

    SUMMARY...All severe hazards, including large hail, wind damage and
    a potential for a few tornadoes are expected over the next couple
    hours from southeast Oklahoma into northeast Texas
    east-northeastward into central Arkansas.

    DISCUSSION...Several discrete supercells are currently ongoing from
    the vicinity of the Red River north of Dallas, east-northeastward
    into southwest Arkansas. The storms are located just to the north
    and west of a pocket of moderate instability, where MLCAPE is near
    or above 2500 J/kg. The cluster of strong to severe storms will
    continue to move eastward into the stronger instability over the
    next couple of hours. This, combined with moderate deep-layer shear,
    will help sustain the stronger updrafts making large hail likely
    with supercells. Hailstones greater than 2 inches in diameter will
    be possible with the strongest of updrafts. In addition, low-level
    shear is forecast to gradually increase, as a 40 knot jet develops
    across the Ark-La-Tex early this evening. In response, the tornado
    threat may continue. The WOFS currently is forecasting a locally
    greater tornado risk from Little Rock extending west-southwestward
    to near the Oklahoma-Arkansas state line over the next couple of
    hours.
