As they approach the edge of Severe Thunderstorm Watch 299, a new watch or extension in space/time of Tornado Watch 297 will likely be needed. DISCUSSION...Thunderstorms continue across southeast Oklahoma and northern Texas where the airmass has either recovered a bit from earlier convection (southeast OK) or was largely not impacted (northern Texas). The environment ahead of these storms remains strongly sheared and buoyant with effective-layer shear greater than 50 knots and most-unstable CAPE ranging from 2000 J/kg across portions of Texas to around 500 J/kg along the I40 corridor in west-central Arkansas. Given the ongoing organization of the thunderstorms and a favorable downstream environment, the potential for severe hail and wind gusts should exist east of existing Severe Thunderstorm Watch 299. Either a new watch or extension in space/time of Tornado Watch 297 will likely be needed in the next hour. ...Marsh/Smith.. 05/20/2025 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!63wzGh5IXf6dEAX85Udd33pd68TIWToauRnePKeJherWg8yr3fe992jir4t95UqYScZDi0Zhf= mLcplw3H34NR8hgx7A$ for graphic product...
