While watch issuance appears unlikely in the short term (next hour or so), trends will be closely monitored. DISCUSSION...A strongly unstable airmass, with MLCAPE already reaching 2500-3000+ J/kg and DCAPE 1000-1200 J/kg, is present late this morning along and east/southeast of a loosely organized cluster of thunderstorms ongoing across north-central/northeast TX into far southeastern OK. Recent radar trends have shown some strengthening of updrafts on the leading edge, and the potential for isolated strong to damaging winds reaching near-severe levels appears to be slowly increasing. The primary uncertainty regarding the overall magnitude of the severe threat remains weak winds/shear at low/mid levels. While some convective organization should persist with the internal dynamics of the MCV, it remains unclear if a more substantial severe/damaging wind threat will develop over the next couple of hours as this cluster moves east-southeastward across the ArkLaTex and into a more unstable airmass. Watch issuance appears unlikely in the short term (next hour or so), but convective trends will be closely monitored. ...Gleason/Bunting.. 07/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-ZuH1hiJcQBzvS8aVmsn28BGxueV5r7t-oUemmiSVwnpKFX-a2FrlGfAilVB-pi_XQ9-EOrgD= LmqVxROIfgs_fy1qJE$ for graphic product...
