00:00We have a shelf cloud to the east of Chillicothe, Texas here, and we're watching the tail end for development
00:06of a supercell storm.
00:07We're trying to wait for this thing to pull in some inflow on the southern tip relative to the outflow
00:12surge, just a little bit to the north of it.
00:14Eventually, though, the low-level wind shear is forecast to ramp up as this storm moves off to the northeast,
00:19getting a little bit closer to the Red River.
00:21By that time, the environment gets a lot more favorable for tornado potential.
00:25There is a renegade, though, up near the I-40 corridor just ahead of this squall line.
00:29That likely has the greatest short-term tornado potential, but as this storm on the tail end of the line
00:35segment gradually matures and approaches the Red River,
00:38this one will also have tornado potential, some of which could be strong in southwestern Oklahoma as well.
00:45And that could include the I-40 corridor, maybe even pushing east of the Oklahoma City metro late night tonight.
00:51But we are tracking these storms very close to the Red River, monitoring the tail end, Charlie, for further intensification
00:57right now.
00:58And if this one takes off, it lifts northeast toward the Red River, all hazards will be possible, including a
01:03strong tornado or two with this southern end storm.
