    Areas affected...central and eastern Oklahoma

    Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible=20

    Valid 081349Z - 081515Z

    Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

    SUMMARY...Isolated large hail and damaging wind and a brief tornado
    are all possible this morning.

    DISCUSSION...A line of storms has become better defined this morning
    along the I-35 corridor. Within this line, occasional areas of
    circulation have been noted and some gusty winds (60 mph at the
    Yukon, OK mesonet site). Each of these circulations has been very
    short lived, likely due to the limited instability. One TDS has been
    observed near Purcell this morning. One or two additional brief
    tornadoes may be possible within this line as it moves northeast
    with favorable low-level shear present on the INX VWP.=20

    A brief window for severe weather potential will exist for the next
    1 to 2 hours along the I-44 corridor from I-35 to northeast
    Oklahoma.=20

    This line is moving quickly east and will eventually outrun the best
    low-level moisture which should bring an end to the greater short
    term threat.
