Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 472...

Valid 300433Z - 300600Z

The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 472
continues.

SUMMARY...An MCS will gradually shift south across the Arklatex
area, with a continued threat of gusty winds and heavy rain.

DISCUSSION...An MCS with impressive IR presentation (cloud top
temperatures to -80 C) is approaching the Red River, overturning a
very moist and unstable air mass. Southwest winds at 850 mb will
favor continued inflow into this system as it propagates slowly
southward. Periodic strong to severe downdrafts remain possible. A
slight westward growth/expansion cannot be ruled out as pockets of
warmer air remain surrounding the Metroplex. However, additional
watches may not be necessary.
