EVEN IF THE MOST HIGHLY ORGANIZED PART OF THE MCS OVER THE NRN PANHANDLES MISSES NW OK..AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL BE LEFT BEHIND FOR THE DEVELOPING LLJ TO FOCUS ON ACROSS THE ERN PANHANDLES LATER TONITE. DDC/AMA/MAF SOUNDINGS ARE ALL CONSIDERABLY UNSTABLE..AND SHUD ALLOW FOR PERSISTENCE OF ACTIVITY FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS EVEN WITH LOSS OF HEATING..GIVEN STRONG COLD POOL. IN ADDITION..EVEN THE OUN SOUNDING..ALTHOUGH CAPPED TO DEVELOPMENT OVERHEAD..IS NOT PROHIBITIVELY CAPPED TO SOMETHING PROPAGATING EWD INTO CENTRAL OK WELL AFTER MIDNIGHT.
