DISCUSSION...
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WAS LOCATED OVER NORTHERN NEW MEXICO EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON. A SURFACE DRY LINE EXTENDED ACROSS WESTERN
OKLAHOMA. ELEVATED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS HAD DEVELOPED EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA IN AN AREA OF UPPER
DIFFLUENCE...RESULTING FROM A SUBTROPICAL JET TO THE EAST AND
THE APPROACHING UPPER LOW TO THE WEST. OTHER ELEVATED STORMS WERE
DEVELOPING ACROSS NORTHEAST TEXAS AND WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON. A STRONG CAP IN PLACE THUS FAR HAS
PRECLUDED STORMS FROM BECOMING SURFACE BASED. AS THE AFTERNOON
PROGRESSES...THIS CAP IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN AS A RESULT OF ONGOING
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY AND THE APPROACHING UPPER LOW. MUCH
UNCERTAINTY EXISTS AS TO HOW FAR THE DRY LINE WILL PROGRESS
EAST...AS THIS FEATURE IS EXPECTED TO BE A PRIMARY FOCUS FOR ANY
SURFACE BASED STORMS FOR THE AFTERNOON AND OVERNIGHT. ONGOING
STORMS ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA THAT MOVE INTO
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...AS WELL AS ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACROSS
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SURFACE BASED
DESPITE BEING WELL REMOVED FROM THE BOUNDARY. GIVEN THE
INSTABILITY AND SHEAR IN PLACE...ESPECIALLY SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA
WHERE SHEAR AN INSTABILITY ARE MAXIMIZED...ANY STORM THAT BECOMES
SURFACE BASED WILL LIKELY BECOME SUPERCELLULAR WHICH WILL RESULT
IN STRONG ROTATING UPDRAFTS SUPPORTIVE OF LARGE HAIL...AS WELL AS
TORNADIC DEVELOPMENT.

ADDITIONAL SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS MAY DEVELOP IN TEXAS
OVERNIGHT...WITH THE ACTIVITY POSSIBLY AFFECTING PORTIONS OF
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AFTER MIDNIGHT.
