.DISCUSSION...
Showers and thunderstorms from eastern into southern Kansas will
spread south into northeast Oklahoma by around midnight. The
threat of severe weather, mainly in the form of damaging winds,
will exist overnight at least across northeast Oklahoma. Given
storm behavior the past couple nights, would not be surprised to
see strong to severe storms continue farther south than currently
depicted by all model solutions.

The main change to the forecast is to raise pops and QPF
overnight. Update is on the way.
