   Areas affected...North-central Texas...Far Southern Oklahoma

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch unlikely 

   Valid 190801Z - 191030Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...20 percent

   SUMMARY...An isolated threat for large hail and severe wind gusts
   will likely continue across north-central Texas over the next few
   hours, and could impact far southern Oklahoma as well. The threat is
   expected to remain too marginal for watch issuance.

   DISCUSSION...Latest surface analysis shows a quasi-stationary front
   located from west-central Texas northeastward into southeast
   Oklahoma. Nearly surface-based thunderstorms are developing close to
   the boundary to the south-southwest of Wichita Falls. The storms are
   located just to the north of a pocket of strong instability, where
   surface dewpoints are in the upper 70s F and the RAP has MLCAPE in
   the 4000 to 5000 J/kg range. In addition, RAP forecast soundings
   over north-central Texas have 700-500 mb lapse rates near 8 C/km.
   This thermodynamic environment will be favorable for an isolated
   large hail and a wind-damage threat. Although deep-layer shear is
   weak over much of north-central Texas, RAP forecast soundings a bit
   further east have 0-6 km shear in the 20 to 25 knot range. As the
   storms move eastward into a slightly more favorable environment, the
   severe threat is expected to be maintained or could increase some.
   However, large-scale ascent is limited over central and north Texas,
   which may keep any severe threat localized.
