EASTERN OKLAHOMA THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
642 PM CDT MON APR 25 1994

SHORT TERM UPDATE...

AT 630 PM THE DRY LINE EXTENDED ACROSS OKLAHOMA FROM THE KANSAS BORDER
NORTHWEST OF ENID...TO JUST WEST OF OKLAHOMA CITY...TO WICHITA FALLS.
THE DRY LINE WAS SHIFTING SLOWLY EASTWARD.

THE ATMOSPHERE AHEAD THE DRY LINE REMAINS VERY UNSTABLE AS SURFACE DEW
POINTS HAD INCREASED TO NEAR 70 ALONG AND WEST OF I-35 AND THE WIND
PROFILE IS VERY FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.

AT 600 PM SATELLLITE PICTURES SHOWED AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE OVER
WEST TEXAS MOVING NORTHEAST TOWARD OKLAHOMA.  AS THIS DISTURBANCE
APPROACHES THE DRY LINE SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD REDEVELOP ALONG IT
A LITTLE AFTER SUNSET.  IF THESE STORMS DO FORM THEN THEY WOULD LIKELY
BECOME SEVERE GIVEN THE INSTABILITY AND WIND PROFILE.

A TORNADO WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA UNTIL
MIDNIGHTv.
