UPDATE ON SEVERE WEATHER THREAT ACROSS NORTH TEXAS AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA! (credit: NWS Storm Prediction Center)

DISCUSSION: As a very slow-moving low-pressure system continues to slowly move eastward with time over the past 48 to 72 hours, yet another round of strong to severe storms has erupted across parts of the South-Central United States.  With the current atmospheric instability in place as well as the presence of decent vertical wind shear is near severe thresholds in parts of Northern Texas and Southern Oklahoma, the next few hours are the most prevalent with respect to the threat for severe storms as some have already fired and are moving through the outlined region below at this time!
