    Areas affected...North Texas...Southern Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 165...

    Valid 240710Z - 240915Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 165
    continues.

    SUMMARY...An isolated potential for severe wind gusts is expected to
    continue over parts of southern Oklahoma and north Texas late
    tonight into the early morning. The threat should become marginal,
    and weather watch issuance appears unlikely to the east of WW 165.

    DISCUSSION...The latest hi-resolution radar imagery from Frederick,
    Oklahoma shows a line of strong thunderstorms from southwest
    Oklahoma into northwest Texas. This line is located near the
    northwestern edge of a moist airmass, along a north-to-south axis of
    moderate instability. Ahead of the path of the convective line, the
    RAP is estimating MLCAPE from 500 to 1500 J/kg. In addition, water
    vapor imagery and RAP analysis suggest that a low-amplitude
    shortwave trough is moving through the southern and central Plains.
    Large-scale ascent, along with the instability and low-level warm
    advection, is supporting the convective line. The DYX WSR-88D VWP
    has some directional shear in the lowest 3 kilometers and has 0-6 km
    shear in the 30 to 35 knot range. This should be enough to continue
    an isolated wind-damage threat along and ahead of the stronger parts
    of the line over the next couple of hours. However, the line will
    move eastward into weak instability, which will likely marginalize
    the severe threat.
