1230 PM CDT TUE JUN 4 1996

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT ACROSS WESTERN...CENTRAL...SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA...AND WESTERN NORTH
TEXAS. THE HIGHEST THREAT OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE THIS AFTERNOON IN
NORTHERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...AND ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHEASTERN
OKLAHOMA TONIGHT.

A WARM FRONT EXTENDING FROM SOUTHWESTERN KANSAS TO ENID TO MCALESTER
WILL LIKELY BE THE FOCAL POINT FOR THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
TONIGHT. THUNDERSTORMS ARE CURRENTLY INCREASING IN CENTRAL KANSAS AND
THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO MOVE SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHERN OKLAHOMA THIS
AFTERNOON. THE ACTIVITY WILL LIKELY BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD AND INTENSE
LATE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH STORMS CONTINUING INTO CENTRAL AND
SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA TONIGHT. THE AIRMASS OVER THE AREA IS SUFFICIENTLY
MOIST AND UNSTABLE TO SUPPORT SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...AND ISOLATED
TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE ALSO INCREASING IN THE EASTERN TEXAS PANHANDLE AND
WESTERN OKLAHOMA...SO THE AREA OF THUNDERSTORMS MAY BUILD WESTWARD AND
MOVE INTO SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH 6TEXAS MAINLY TONIGHT.

LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION AND BE PREPARED FOR ACTIVATION THIS AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT.
