    Areas affected...Northwest Texas into southern Oklahoma

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 110...

    Valid 142229Z - 150000Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 110 continues.

    SUMMARY...A corridor of more focused hail/wind threat is expected
    from northwest Texas into southwest Oklahoma along the outflow from
    the initial storm clusters.

    DISCUSSION...Initial warm sector storm development from northwest TX
    into southwest OK has produced a cold pool/outflow based on earlier
    radar velocity signatures from KFDR, as well as current surface
    observations. The existing cold pool plus expanding anvil shading
    with increasing storms across northwest TX suggest that storms will
    likely track along the outflow and focus a corridor of large hail
    and severe gust potential this evening with repeat storm clusters.

    Farther northwest, storms are forming along the surface dryline into
    western OK. A pocket of mid-upper 60s dewpoints and surface
    temperatures in the low-mid 80s will support large buoyancy in
    advance of this convection for the next 2-3 hours. The orientation
    of the dryline largely parallel to the mid-upper flow suggests storm interactions and some upscale growth is probable. Also, if storms
    continue to expand to the south-southeast of this area, rain-cooled
    air will spread northwest and limit the eastward extent of the
    severe threat with these dryline storms.
