   Areas affected...Northwest Oklahoma

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 13...

   Valid 060542Z - 060715Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 13 continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe threat will gradually decrease across northwest
   Oklahoma. Tornado watch will expire as scheduled.

   DISCUSSION...Small cluster of severe thunderstorms persists over
   northwest OK, primarily across Roger Mills into Dewey county. This
   activity is the remnants of a few eastern TX Panhandle supercells
   that appear to be primarily producing large hail as they spread
   downstream beneath a strong LLJ. It's not entirely clear how long
   this activity will continue to produce severe hail, but strong shear
   and adequate buoyancy favor at least robust updrafts, even as they
   gradually become elevated in nature. Given the expected decrease in
   intensity, new watch is not anticipated at this time.
