Intense swaths of damaging gusts will be possible in addition to tornadoes. DISCUSSION...A line of intense severe thunderstorm and tornado warned cells continues to solidify and approach the OK/TX border this evening. Additional cells ahead of the line have already moved into far northwest OK. This convection will shift east around 50-55 kt, moving outside of Tornado Watch 43 by 03z.=20 VWP data from KTLX and KFDR show a southerly low-level jet has increased to 60-70 kt while southeasterly low-level winds continue to transport better quality moisture northward. Dewpoints in the low 60s F are in place north of the Red River across southern OK to near I-40, with mid-50s F into far northern OK. This will support MUCAPE values around 500-1000 J/kg ahead of the line of convection. While a stout elevated mixed layer is in place across the warm sector, strong forcing along the front should diminish inhibition and downward transport of intense midlevel winds is expected. In addition to swaths of damaging gusts, enlarged low-level hodographs evident in the 00z OUN RAOB and in regional VWPs indicated potential for mesovortex/line-embedded circulations and tornadoes. ...Leitman/Thompson.. 02/27/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!90tkkwTivHBQRhd9KBhSP6nBjsy28sCSbNhTdUzZL8DkmPPJAYCQBZOToxjW_WSDbI3NWPAJe= loVF0J-1b2xv7N_1aI$ for graphic product...
