    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely=20

    Valid 050923Z - 051130Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

    SUMMARY...Small to marginally severe hail and potentially damaging
    surface gusts may continue at least another hour or two into the 6-7
    AM CDT time frame, before probably diminishing.

    DISCUSSION...Warmer elevated mixed-layer air, atop the potentially
    buoyant elevated moist layer, appears to responsible for suppressing
    ongoing convective development near and south of the Red River. The
    more intense convection has remained focused in a short arcing band
    to the north, roughly within the thermal gradient around 700 mb, on
    the northern edge of the elevated mixed-layer. This has been
    accompanied by sustained small to marginally severe hail, and it
    appears that this could persist at least another couple hours.=20

    Additionally, it does appear that this activity has generated an
    appreciable surface pressure perturbation, based on recent ASOS
    observations from Pauls Valley, where a 6-7 mb 2 hourly surface
    pressure fall was noted. This has accelerated already strong
    northerly near surface wind fields, with several gusts in excess of
    severe limits being observed across south central Oklahoma during
    the past couple of hours.

    As convection fills in across eastern Oklahoma into western
    Oklahoma, in response to large-scale ascent, it remains unclear how
    much longer this will continue, but it is possible that it could
    persist into the 11-12Z time frame.
