   VALID 260741Z - 260945Z
   
   THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 61
   CONTINUES.
   
   AREA WIND PROFILERS INDICATE VEERING WINDS JUST ABOVE THE SURFACE
   SPREADING EWD ACROSS MUCH OF TX...WHICH IS ALSO INCREASING
   CONVECTIVE INHIBITION DUE TO DRYING. IN ADDITION...LOW LEVEL FLOW
   HAS BECOME DECIDEDLY DIFFLUENT. FOR THESE REASONS...THE SEVERE
   THREAT APPEARS TO HAVE ENDED OVER SRN PORTIONS OF WW 61.
   
   PROFILERS AND MODEL GUIDANCE INDICATE THERE ARE TWO SEPARATE
   BRANCHES OF THE LOW LEVEL JET...ONE ENHANCING LIFT FROM ERN AR INTO
   NRN MS AND WRN TN...AND ANOTHER INTO NERN OK AND SERN KS. THE ERN
   AREA SHOULD CONTINUE TO SEE SCATTERED STORMS WITH A FEW CAPABLE OF
   MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL...BUT PRIMARILY SUB SEVERE...WHILE THE OK/KS
   AREA WILL SEE DEVELOPMENT IN THE 09Z-12Z TIME FRAME...ALSO WITH
   MAINLY SMALL HAIL POTENTIAL.
