   Areas affected...northeastern Oklahoma...northwestern Arkansas...and
   southern Missouri

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 625...

   Valid 160444Z - 160515Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 625
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe risk continues to gradually diminish across the
   Ozarks region and into northeastern Oklahoma.

   DISCUSSION...Latest radar loop shows a continued/gradual decreasing
   trend in terms of the intensity of the ongoing/isolated convection
   across the remaining portions of the watch.  Two clusters of storms
   - one moving east-southeastward across northeastern Oklahoma and a
   second over south-central Missouri just north of the Arkansas border
   -- remain fairly vigorous, and capable of a locally damaging wind
   gust or two in the short term.  With time, a continued/gradual
   decrease in convective intensity/severe potential is expected, as
   the boundary layer continues to gradually stabilize.  However, ample
   instability suggests that storms -- and perhaps a sporadic/strong
   gust -- may continue into the overnight hours locally.  Still, with
   the overall wane in risk, the scheduled 16/05Z expiration of the WW
   appears appropriate, with new WW issuance not required.
