   Areas affected...central and eastern Oklahoma

   Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible 

   Valid 081349Z - 081515Z

   Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

   SUMMARY...Isolated large hail and damaging wind and a brief tornado
   are all possible this morning.

   DISCUSSION...A line of storms has become better defined this morning
   along the I-35 corridor. Within this line, occasional areas of
   circulation have been noted and some gusty winds (60 mph at the
   Yukon, OK mesonet site). Each of these circulations has been very
   short lived, likely due to the limited instability. One TDS has been
   observed near Purcell this morning. One or two additional brief
   tornadoes may be possible within this line as it moves northeast
   with favorable low-level shear present on the INX VWP. 

   A brief window for severe weather potential will exist for the next
   1 to 2 hours along the I-44 corridor from I-35 to northeast
   Oklahoma. 

   This line is moving quickly east and will eventually outrun the best
   low-level moisture which should bring an end to the greater short
   term threat.
