Watch issuance is possible. DISCUSSION...At 06 UTC, a long-lived storm cluster is moving into northern OK from southern KS, while new development of vigorous convection has occurred over southeast OK. Steep midlevel lapse rates (as noted on the 00Z OUN sounding and short-term forecast soundings) and rich moisture in the 850-700 mb layer are supporting MUCAPE in the 2000-3000 J/kg range from central OK toward the ArkLaTex. Meanwhile, moderate midlevel westerlies are supporting effective shear in excess of 40 kt, with long, straight hodographs and strong anvil-level flow. These factors are conditionally supportive of elevated supercells with large to very large hail.=20 Ongoing convection will likely be sustained for several hours within a low-level warm advection regime. However, evolution of convection early this morning remains somewhat uncertain. The best chance for elevated supercells appears to be from southeast OK into southwest AR, where a notable hail threat could evolve. The cluster across northern OK may also intensify as it moves into a region of greater elevated buoyancy, posing at least an isolated hail and severe gust threat. Depending on short-term trends, watch issuance is possible for parts of the region. ...Dean/Grams.. 08/08/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-RYHQCedpGrn2UYR1NZGCuwFaNmKqkAnWPcjInfaRBjvJota63X2PmjJSw8x2Jxot3H6e-emF= 6JPhpwoo6rPuGB0tOY$ for graphic product...
