    Areas affected...North central and northwest Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 460...

    Valid 042234Z - 050000Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 460
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Developing storm clusters will pose an increasing threat
    for severe outflow gusts of 80+ mph into this evening while
    spreading southeastward.

    DISCUSSION...Two storm clusters have developed - one near the
    outflow/front intersection in southern KS and another along the
    front in northwest OK. New storm development may also occur along
    the front between the two, with a larger cluster possibly evolving
    through late evening. Deep-layer shear is sufficient for
    supercells, especially along the residual outflow boundary in
    northern OK. The environment downstream from these clusters appears
    favorable for hybrid microbursts with deep inverted-V profiles and
    large buoyancy with hot surface temperatures and sufficient moisture
    to keep storms going into early tonight. Deep-layer vertical shear
    will be sufficient for some cluster organization. As a result, the
    potential for severe outflow gusts is expected to increase through
    00z in northwest and north central OK, where a few gusts could
    exceed 80 mph. Additionally, the strongest/embedded supercells will
    be capable of producing large hail in the 1.5-2.5 inch diameter
    range.
