   Areas affected...south-central Oklahoma into northeastern Texas

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 298...

   Valid 240544Z - 240715Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 298
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Local risk for very large hail and/or strong/damaging
   winds continues.

   DISCUSSION...A couple of clusters of storms -- one over
   south-central Oklahoma and a separate one over southeastern Oklahoma
   and into northeastern Texas -- continue at this hour.  Storms have
   maintained intensity, with a supercell now near the Fannin/Hunt
   County Line in Texas having turned strongly to the right over the
   past hour or so.  This storm is likely producing very large hail --
   potentially in excess of 2" in diameter -- at this time, and will
   near the southern bounds of the WW in the next hour or so.  Local
   extension of the watch in area, south/southeast of this storm, may
   be needed.

   Elsewhere, the storm cluster over southeastern Oklahoma has also
   maintained intensity, with a 73 MPH gust recently measured in
   Stephens County OK.  With an amply moist/unstable airmass downstream
   from this convection, expect the storms -- and attendant severe
   potential -- to continue over the next couple of hours.
