   EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT...
   
   THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE
   DEVELOPMENT OF DAMAGING WINDS AND A FEW TORNADOES...SOME
   STRONG...OVER PARTS OF THE OZARK REGION AND THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI
   VALLEY THIS EVENING THROUGH TONIGHT.
   
   THE AREAS MOST LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE THIS ACTIVITY INCLUDE

   A STRONG STORM SYSTEM TRACKING THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS TO THE
   MIDDLE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY REGION WILL RESULT IN STRENGTHENING WINDS
   THROUGH THE LOWER AND MIDDLE TROPOSPHERE. A MOIST AIR MASS WILL
   CONTINUE TO SPREAD NORTHWARD TODAY THROUGH TONIGHT AHEAD OF A COLD
   FRONT AND DRY LINE ADVANCING EASTWARD.  ALTHOUGH THE ENVIRONMENT
   SHOULD ONLY BE MARGINALLY UNSTABLE...THE STRENGTH OF THE DEEP LAYER

   THIS MORNING INTO THE AFTERNOON ACROSS OKLAHOMA...PARTS OF NORTH
   TEXAS AND EASTERN KANSAS. DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES WILL BE
