.AVIATION...
Very little changes were made to the 00Z TAFs. Still expect
thunderstorms to move into northern OK within the next hour or 2,
and impact PNC around 08Z. One change that was made to the PNC TAF
was the inclusion of stronger winds in the tempo and lower visby
(+TSRA) as confidence is fairly high that at least strong storms
will be present, if not severe. The rest of the terminals should
avoid any TSRA but OKC/OUN may briefly experience MVFR CIGS near
sunrise.

western...central...and southern Oklahoma...and western north
Texas.

.DAY ONE...Through Tonight...

.Thunderstorms...
There is an Enhanced Risk of severe storms overnight across far
northern Oklahoma.

Location...
The Enhanced Risk covers an area along and north of a line from
Perry to Okeene to Fort Supply to Laverne. A Slight Risk extends

into a cluster or complex of storms, along with additional
development, across far northwestern Oklahoma overnight. This
complex of storms will build eastward across northern Oklahoma
through the early morning hours. Damaging winds up to 70 mph and
hail to the size of golf balls is possible. As the storms form
