Wow, the storm southwest of Holdenville, OK intensified rather quickly - intense velocity signature a couple scans ago along with a TVS signature, followed quickly by a SVR warning, and then quickly by a TOR warning. Storm speed indicated at 65 mph. With the system moving towards more unstable air over the coming hours, figure a NOW thread is warranted.
 
OK-Storms

The storms west of MLC are showing signs of rotation as the temps warm SE of MLC to DFW area would expect a few more rotating storms. The storms are hauling NNE 50+.
 
tornado probs now up to 10% with tons of shear down there and instability on the rise.
 
Looking like an intense tornadic supercell now just to the north of SHV. Wouldn't surprise me to see this being a strong tornado with impressive shear parameters and even 0-3KM cape approaching 100 j/kj now around SHV
 
I've not seen any spotter reports - but the mets at that office are seeing it, no word of any damage.

{Correction, I think they messed up their statements, I think they meant they were tracking a storm with possible tornado}

That area is right on the edge of the better instability, the stuff more to the northeast in Arkansas doesn't have a lot of CAPE to play with.
