   Concerning...Tornado Watch 176...

   Valid 042311Z - 050045Z

   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 176 continues.

   SUMMARY...An increase in storm coverage is expected this evening
   given current visible satellite trends and an expected increase in
   mid-level forcing. Large/very-large hail and tornadoes, possibly
   strong, are the expected hazards.

   DISCUSSION...Convective showers have increased in central Oklahoma
   over the past two hours. More recently a supercell has
   matured/intensified in Pottawatomie County. These trends on visible
   satellite suggest that additional storms are possible over the next
   1-2 hours. KTLX VWP data shows over 300 m2/s2 SRH. Later this
   evening, the low-level jet is also expected to focus and increase
   into this region. Tornado potential with mature storms will increase
   this evening. Depending on how many storms can initiate, some storm
   interactions are possible. However, any of the more dominant
   supercells will be capable of large/very-large hail and tornadoes --
   some potentially strong.
