THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OKLAHOMA CITY OK
630 AM CDT SAT JUN 3 1995

THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT
ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN SECTIONS OF NORTH TEXAS. THE
MODERATE RISK AREA IS WEST OF A LINE FROM ALVA...TO OKLAHOMA CITY...
TO DUNCAN...TO HENRIETTA TEXAS. THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REMAINDER OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA
THROUGH TONIGHT. DAMAGING HAIL AND STRONG WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY
SEVERE WEATHER THREATS. ISOLATED TORNADOES ALSO WILL BE POSSIBLE...
PRIMARILY ACROSS THE MODERATE RISK AREA.

VERY MOIST UNSTABLE AIR ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS COMBINED WITH AN
UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM MOVING INTO THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES WILL PROVIDE
AN ENVIRONMENT FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT.
A FEW THUNDERSTORMS MAY REACH SEVERE LEVELS THIS MORNING...ESPECIALLY
ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN SECTIONS OF NORTH TEXAS. SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY WILL BECOME MORE NUMEROUS LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING AS THE THE ATMOSPHERE DESTABILIZES FURTHER DUE TO DAYTIME
HEATING.

WINDS THROUGHOUT THE ATMOSPHERE WILL GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN DURING THE DAY
IN ADVANCE OF THE UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM. THIS STRENGTHENING OF THE
WIND PROFILE MAY SUPPORT THE FORMATION OF A FEW SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS
...MAINLY ACROSS THE MODERATE RISK AREA. IF SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORMS
FORM...THEY LIKELY WILL CONTAIN VERY LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND
POSSIBLY TORNADOES.

THE LOCATION AND INTENSITY OF THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT WILL BE GOVERNED IN PART BY THE EVOLUTION OF THUNDERSTORMS
ALREADY IN PROGRESS THIS MORNING. EMERGENCY MANrAGERS AND STORM SPOTTERS
...ESPECIALLY THOSE IN WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND THE WESTERN PART OF NORTH
TEXAS...SHOULD REMAIN ALERT FOR UPDATED STATEMENTS AND POSSIBLE WATCHES
OR WARNINGS THROUGH TONIGHT.
