VERY BUSY NIGHT.  CDFNT MOVING THROUGH NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA HAS
DEVELOPED A SHORT LINE OF TSTMS WITH IT...BEHIND THE ORIGINAL
SEVERE CELLS.  EXPECT THIS LINE/CDFNT TO BE THE END OF THE
PCPN...AND ADJUSTED THE ZONES TO INDICATE THAT.  THERE WILL
CONTINUE TO BE A CHANCE OF RW/TRW SOUTH OF THE FRONT AS IT MOVES
THROUGH THE REST OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS...AND
HAVE LEFT SOME POPS IN FOR THAT REASON.  ALL ELSE UNCHANGED.
