SPC HVY RN MD 1472S/W trough coming in from the panhandles is helping to fire off numerous thunderstorms across the TX/OK panhandles and across a majority of Oklahoma into the Ozarks. The moist air at the surface (mid 60 dews) combined with the steep lapse rates is helping to quickly destablize that atmosphere across the region promoting some severe winds and hail in many of the cells. However, due to only modest shear, storms have only been low end severe threats.
Please see SPC MD 1468 and SPC MD 1471 for further details.
