Areas affected...Eastern OK

Concerning...Tornado Watch 700...

Valid 030930Z - 031100Z

The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 700 continues.

SUMMARY...Threat for strong gusts and tornadoes will continue across
eastern Oklahoma for at least the next few hours.

DISCUSSION...An organized convective line evolved across central OK,
and this line is currently moving into eastern OK at about 45 kt.
Several surges have occurred within this line thus far, with the
most notable surge occurring over McClain and Pottawatomie Counties.
A 75 mph gust was observed within this surge at Byars. Airmass ahead
of the line is warm and moist, although poor lapse rates at limiting
overall instability. Even so, the organized character of the
convective line co*bined with this modest buoyancy should allow for
a persistence of the line for at least the next several hours.
Primary threat within the line will be strong wind gusts, although
the notable low-level shear will likely result in some embedded QLCS
circulations as well.

There have been some attempts at more cellular development ahead of
the convective line, but none have matured. This trend is expected
to continue, with maturation unlikely given the more limited
buoyancy than areas farther east and the faster motion of the
convective line. If maturation does occur, the strong low-level
shear could result in relatively quick tornadogenesis.
