    Areas affected...portions of southeastern Oklahoma into northeastern
    Texas and far western Arkansas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 70...

    Valid 020345Z - 020515Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 70
    continues.

    SUMMARY...The severe threat continues across Severe Thunderstorm
    Watch 70. The main severe threat exists across northern portions of
    the watch as a line of storms approaches from the west. Damaging
    gusts are the main threat, though a tornado cannot be ruled out.

    DISCUSSION...The earlier QLCS with embedded supercells across
    northern TX has diminished in intensity given increasing inhibition.
    However, a pronounced QLCS is in progress across central OK, and
    this convection may move into Severe Thunderstorm Watch 70 over the
    next few hours with a damaging gust threat. Portions of the watch
    across eastern OK into western AR will most likely experience this
    QLCS later this evening. It is unclear how far south the QLCS will
    build into TX, so the severe threat is more conditional across the
    TX portion of the watch. Regional VADs, 03Z mesoanalysis, and RAP
    forecast soundings all show elongated hodographs with decent
    low-level curvature. However, CINH is increasing above the boundary
    layer given nocturnal cooling, tempering the tornado threat.
    Nonetheless, a tornado cannot be completely ruled out if a QLCS
    circulation can ingest any surface-based parcels.
