   Areas affected...central/southern Oklahoma

   Concerning...Tornado Watch 144...

   Valid 260127Z - 260330Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 144 continues.

   SUMMARY...Severe threat continues within WW144.

   DISCUSSION...A cluster of supercells continues across
   central/southern Oklahoma. A couple of brief tornadoes have been
   reported over the last 1-2 hours. Several storm scale interactions
   have been ongoing, with several mergers. The environment remains
   favorable for tornadoes, given rich low-level SRH and STP around
   2-4. However, these storm scale interactions and the generally messy
   storm mode has likely kept this environment from being fully
   realized. Nonetheless, tornado potential will continue over the next
   several hours as the storms continue along and near the warm front.
   Potential for large hail will also continue, especially with
   embedded and or semi-discrete supercells
