   The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 694, 696 continues.

   SUMMARY...An all-hazards severe threat will persist through
   midnight, with the risk for a couple tornadoes greater over
   northeast to east-central Oklahoma.

   DISCUSSION...An extensive linear convective band along the cold
   front has a history of sporadic wind damage from severe gusts,
   measured recently to 71 mph at the Fort Cobb OK-Mesonet. A separate,
   nearly linear convective line has separately evolved out of earlier
   semi-discrete convection along the far southeast KS/northeast OK
   border area. The frontal convection continues to be largely undercut
   by outflows along it, limiting potential for sustained low-level
   mesocyclones. The threat for a couple tornadoes may be greatest
   along the southern portion of the lead convective band and with any
   discrete supercells that might be sustained from southeast into
   east-central OK. Otherwise, the expectation is for a continued
   sporadic severe wind threat and isolated hail.
