    Areas affected...Eastern Oklahoma...Far Southeast Kansas...Far
    Northwest Arkansas...Western Missouri

    Concerning...Tornado Watch 68...

    Valid 300431Z - 300630Z

    The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 68 continues.

    SUMMARY...A severe threat is likely to continue for a few more hours
    across eastern Oklahoma, and may spread northeastward into parts of southeastern Kansas, western Missouri and far northwestern Arkansas.
    Weather watch issuance remains possible downstream from WW 68.

    DISCUSSION...The latest mosaic radar imagery shows a developing MCS
    over much of central and northern Oklahoma. The large cluster of
    strong to severe storms is located near an axis of moderate
    instability, where the RAP is analyzing MLCAPE in the 1000 to 2000
    J/kg range. This cluster is being supported by large-scale ascent
    associated with a shortwave trough in the southern Plains, evident
    on water vapor imagery. A potential for severe wind gusts, isolated
    large hail and a tornado, will likely continue with the stronger
    storms within this large cluster as it moves northeastward across
    eastern Oklahoma late this evening. The storms are forecast to move
    into far southeast Kansas and southwest Missouri after midnight,
    where a severe threat will be possible. The severe threat should
    become more isolated later tonight, as the storms interact with
    weaker instability.
