   Concerning...Tornado Watch 192...193...194...

   Valid 070639Z - 070845Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 192, 193, 194 continues.

   SUMMARY...A tornado, wind-damage and isolated large-hail threat will
   continue from eastern Oklahoma into northwest Arkansas and southwest
   Missouri over the next several hours.

   DISCUSSION...The latest hi-resolution radar imagery from Tulsa shows
   the southern half of a linear MCS, located from southwest Missouri
   southwestward into east-central Oklahoma. The MCS is located near an
   axis of instability, where the RAP is analyzing MLCAPE in the 1500
   to 2500 J/kg range. In addition, RAP forecast soundings along this
   corridor are impressive, with 0-6 km shear near 60 knots, and 0-3 km
   storm-relative helicity in the 500 to 600 ms/s2 range. This will
   continue to support a tornado threat with rotating cells embedded in
   the line. Wind damage will also be likely along the leading edge of
   the MCS, especially with the parts of the line that obtain bowing
   structure. Forecast soundings near the storms also have 700-500 mb
   lapse rates around 8 C/km, which will support an isolated large-hail
   threat. The line is expected to continue to be severe over the next
   couple of hours, as it moves through the Ozarks.
