283 ACUS11 KWNS 240545 SWOMCD SPC MCD 240544 TXZ000-OKZ000-240715- Mesoscale Discussion 0922 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 1244 AM CDT Fri May 24 2024 Areas affected...south-central Oklahoma into northeastern Texas Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 298... Valid 240544Z - 240715Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 298 continues. SUMMARY...Local risk for very large hail and/or strong/damaging winds continues. DISCUSSION...A couple of clusters of storms -- one over south-central Oklahoma and a separate one over southeastern Oklahoma and into northeastern Texas -- continue at this hour. Storms have maintained intensity, with a supercell now near the Fannin/Hunt County Line in Texas having turned strongly to the right over the past hour or so. This storm is likely producing very large hail -- potentially in excess of 2" in diameter -- at this time, and will near the southern bounds of the WW in the next hour or so. Local extension of the watch in area, south/southeast of this storm, may be needed. Elsewhere, the storm cluster over southeastern Oklahoma has also maintained intensity, with a 73 MPH gust recently measured in Stephens County OK. With an amply moist/unstable airmass downstream from this convection, expect the storms -- and attendant severe potential -- to continue over the next couple of hours. ..Goss.. 05/24/2024 ...Please see www.spc.noaa.gov for graphic product...
