OVERNIGHT INTO TUESDAY AFTERNOON. 0-1 KM HELICITY AND LOW LEVEL
CAPE VALUES WILL ALSO SUPPORT A RISK OF A TORNADO OR
TWO...ESPECIALLY BETWEEN 9-15Z TUESDAY.

MODELS MOVE BETTER RISK OF SEVERE STORMS INTO EASTERN AND
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA BY EARLY AFTERNOON. AS THE TROUGH MOVES
ACROSS THE FA...SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE NEAR AND
BEHIND AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT.

RATHER STRONG WINDS AND LOW HUMIDITY ACROSS SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA
AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS WILL ELEVATE FIRE DANGER BY TUESDAY
AFTERNOON. WINDS SHOULD DECREASE A LOT AS SUNSET APPROACHES
