    Areas affected...portions of western Oklahoma into northwestern
    Texas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 204...206...

    Valid 160133Z - 160300Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 204, 206
    continues.

    SUMMARY...A few more severe gusts may occur with ongoing storms
    before nocturnal cooling weakens thunderstorms.

    DISCUSSION...A broken line of storms persists across western and
    central OK into northwestern TX. Despite the onset of nocturnal
    cooling, a few severe gusts have been reported in the past hour over northwestern TX. Given a residual mixed boundary layer and over 1000
    J/kg DCAPE, along with 9+ C/km mid-level lapse rates (per 00Z OUN
    observed sounding) evaporative cooling potential with the stronger
    storm cores may foster severe gust potential for at least a couple
    more hours. Some of the latest runs of the WoFS depict severe gusts
    continuing into central OK over the next few hours.
