AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...AS WELL AS NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL
ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON. A LIMITED THREAT OF MARGINALLY SEVERE
WIND AND HAIL WILL CONTINUE MAINLY ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA ALONG

MEANWHILE...LOW LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE RETURNING NORTH AHEAD OF
LOW PRESSURE AND A COLD FRONT ACROSS THE REGION. THE COMBINATION
OF INCREASING LOW LEVEL MOISTURE...STRENGTHENING VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR...STRONG FORCING AND COOLING TEMPERATURES ALOFT WILL CREATE
CONDITIONS CONDUCIVE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS...DESPITE THE
UNFAVORABLE TIME OF DAY. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT AT LEAST A
BROKEN LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS IS LIKELY TO DEVELOP ALONG
THE COLD FRONT AS IT SWEEPS EAST ACROSS THE REGION. THE STRONG
