AREAS AFFECTED...PARTS OF NORTHWESTERN TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST INTO  
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA  
 
CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 710...  
 
VALID 181009Z - 181215Z  
 
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 710 CONTINUES.  
 
SUMMARY...A NARROW SQUALL LINE MAY CONTINUE TO POSE A RISK FOR  
LOCALIZED DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND ISOLATED BRIEF TORNADOES WHILE  
APPROACHING THE I-35 CORRIDOR, INCLUDING THE OKLAHOMA CITY METRO,  
THROUGH 6-8 AM CST.  
 
DISCUSSION...A NARROW, STRONGLY FORCED SQUALL LINE, WITH EMBEDDED  
MESO-GAMMA SCALE CYCLONIC CIRCULATIONS CONTINUES PROPAGATING  
NORTH-NORTHEASTWARD INTO/ACROSS THE RED RIVER VALLEY VICINITY.  
DOWNSTREAM OF MID-LEVEL TROUGHING TAKING ON A MORE NEGATIVE TILT  
INTO AND THROUGH THE TEXAS SOUTH PLAINS, MODELS INDICATE THAT THIS  
MAY BE MAINTAINED AT LEAST INTO THE 12-14Z TIME FRAME. ALTHOUGH  
BOUNDARY-LAYER INSTABILITY REMAINS LIMITED ACROSS SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA  
INTO THE I-35 CORRIDOR OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA, STRONGER SURFACE  
PRESSURE FALLS IN ADVANCE OF THE DEEPENING SURFACE CYCLONE MAY ALLOW  
FOR SUFFICIENT BOUNDARY-LAYER WARMING AND MOISTENING TO MAINTAIN A  
RISK FOR DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND ADDITIONAL BRIEF TORNADOES.
