DISCUSSION...
SHEAR VALUES IN SOUTHERN SECTIONS ARE IMPRESSIVE FOR THIS AFTERNOON AND

OKLAHOMA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON DO NOT TRANSLATE INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND
MOST VALUES REMAIN BELOW 1000 J/KG. ANY ORGANIZED STORM WILL LIKELY SHOW
ROTATION AND EXPECT STORMS TO BECOME EFFICIENT HAIL PRODUCERS.
TORNADOES CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. HOWEVER...WITH LIMITED MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY...IT IS UNLIKELY FOR ANY LONG TRACK STORMS.
AS THE DRY LINE PUSHES EASTWARD DURING THE EARLY NIGHT TIME HOURS
INSTABILITY VALUES DECREASE. SOME STORMS MAY BECOME HEAVY RAIN PRODUCERS
BUT STORM MOTION WILL BE RATHER FAST...30 TO 40 MPH...AND HEAVY RAIN SHOULD
PRODUCE ONLY BRIEF PROBLEMS.
SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED EARLY TONIGHT.
