    Areas affected...portions of southern/eastern Oklahoma...western Arkansas...northeast Texas

    Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 372...

    Valid 220821Z - 221015Z

    The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 372
    continues.

    SUMMARY...Damaging thunderstorm winds will remain possible as a
    well-developed bowing complex of severe storms continues to move east/southeast. The severe risk will likely extend beyond WW 372
    after 09-10z, and a downstream watch will be needed.

    DISCUSSION...A long-lived and mature bow echo continues to move
    east/southeast at around 45 mph across southern/eastern OK as of
    0820z. Numerous reports of severe wind gusts have been received
    during the early morning across OK, with the most recent reports
    generally in the 60 to 70 mph range. Aided by a well-developed cold
    pool, evidenced by a 7 mb pressure rise at the Norman mesonet as the
    system moved through central Oklahoma, severe wind gusts in the 60
    to 70 mph range, with isolated higher gusts, will remain likely as
    the leading edge approaches the southern/eastern edges of WW 372 in
    the 09-10z time frame. Given the well-organized structure of the MCS
    and a favorable downstream thermodynamic environment (MUCAPE
    averaging 3000 J/kg), the severe wind risk is expected to move into
    western AR/northeast TX, and a downstream Severe Thunderstorm Watch
    will be coordinated.
