   Mesoscale Discussion 0523
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   0512 AM CDT Fri Apr 26 2024

   Areas affected...Central into eastern OK

   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 137...

   Valid 261012Z - 261145Z

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 137
   continues.

   SUMMARY...The threat for severe gusts and a couple brief tornadoes
   will spread eastward early this morning.

   DISCUSSION...A QLCS has recently intensified from central into
   southern OK, with a possible QLCS tornado recently noted east of
   Norman. The 08Z OUN sounding depicted minimal MLCINH, and similar
   surface conditions are noted farther east into
   east-central/southeast OK, to the west of an outflow reinforced
   boundary across northeast OK. 

   Rather strong low-level shear and SRH were noted on the 08Z OUN
   sounding and pre-storm KTLX VWP, and some threat for embedded
   mesocyclones and QLCS tornadoes (along with isolated severe gusts)
   may spread eastward into the moderately unstable environment
   downstream. A small downstream watch issuance is possible within the
   hour.
