NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OKLAHOMA CITY OK
800 PM CDT SAT MAY 26 1990

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS EXPANDED THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
TONIGHT TO INCLUDE ALL OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA. THE WATCH AREA
NOW IS EAST OF A LINE FROM CHEROKEE TO WALTERS.

INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED IN CENTRAL OKLAHOMA JUST NORTHWEST
OF THE OKLAHOMA CITY AREA THIS EVENING. CONDITIONS REMAIN FAVORABLE FOR
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND INTENSIFICATION OF THUNDERSTORMS OVERNIGHT
AS A STORM SYSTEM MOVES EASTWARD FROM NEW MEXICO.

A SURFACE BOUNDARY GENERATED BY THUNDERSTORMS LAST NIGHT AND THIS
MORNING HAS PUSHED WESTWARD THROUGH MOST OF CENTRAL AND EASTERN
OKLAHOMA. THE NORTHWARD FLOW OF MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR HAS INCREASED
TO THE SOUTH OF THIS BOUNDARY. WITH AN INCREASING FLOW OF UNSTABLE AND
VERY HUMID AIR INTO THE STATE AND A STORM SYSTEM APPROACHING FROM THE
WEST... THERE IS AN INCREASING POTENTIAL FOR WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND EAST OF THE SURFACE BOUNDARY. ALTHOUGH HEAVY
RAIN IS NOT EXPECTED TO FALL OVER THE ENTIRE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AREA...
CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR EXCESSIVE RAINFALL AND FLOODING IN
SOME PARTS OF THE WATCH AREA LATER TONIGHT. RESIDENTS IN THE WATCH
AREA... WHICH NOW INCLUDES THE ENID... OKLAHOMA CITY... LAWTON...
ARDMORE... AND TULSA AREAS... ARE ADVISED TO REMAIN ALERT FOR FURTHER
UPDATES AS THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION DEVELOPS.

REMEMBER A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS FLASH FLOODING IS POSSIBLE WITHIN
THE WATCH AREA. PERSONS IN THE WATCH AREA ARE ADVISED TO CHECK
PREPAREDNESS REQUIREMENTS... KEEP INFORMED... AND BE READY FOR QUICK
ACTION IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED OR A WARNING IS ISSUED.
