Seems to be a risk of some severe conditions with the upper low in the plains next week though there are some obvious disagreements still to be ironed out. Looks like a cold core set-up with some pretty potent cold air aloft which means temps won't need to be that impressive to spark things off.

DAY 3 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0235 AM CST MON MAR 08 2010

VALID 101200Z - 111200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST OK/ARKLATEX TO
LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY...

...EAST TX/SOUTHEAST OK TO LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY...
IN ASSOCIATION WITH A POTENT UPPER TROUGH THAT IS FORECAST TO
ADVANCE NORTHEASTWARD FROM THE SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS TO THE OZARKS
VICINITY...IT APPEARS AN APPRECIABLE SEVERE POTENTIAL WILL EXIST
ACROSS PORTIONS OF EAST TX/SOUTHEAST OK TO THE ARKLATEX/LOWER MS
RIVER VALLEY ON WEDNESDAY. WITH A RELATIVELY MOIST AIRMASS REMAINING
IN PLACE ACROSS THE ARKLATEX/LOWER MS VALLEY IN THE WAKE OF
TODAYS/TUESDAYS UPPER TROUGH OVER THE MIDWEST...INCREASING LARGE
SCALE FORCING FOR ASCENT/STRENGTHENING WIND FIELDS ALOFT SHOULD
SUPPORT INCREASING SEVERE TSTM DEVELOPMENT DURING THE MID/LATE
AFTERNOON HOURS OF WEDNESDAY INITIALLY ACROSS THE ARKLATEX VICINITY.
SUFFICIENT LOW LEVEL MOISTURE/INSTABILITY AND STRONG/VEERING FLOW
THROUGH THE LOW/MID TROPOSPHERE WILL SUPPORT AN INITIAL MODE OF
SUPERCELLS WITH SEVERE HAIL/TORNADO POTENTIAL. BUT GIVEN THE DEGREE
OF LARGE SCALE FORCING/HEIGHT FALLS...IT SEEMS LIKELY THAT STORMS
SHOULD EVOLVE INTO A QUASI-LINEAR CONVECTIVE SYSTEM BY EARLY
EVENING...WITH A CONTINUED DAMAGING WIND/TORNADO RISK QUICKLY
SPREADING EAST-NORTHEASTWARD TOWARD THE LOWER MS RIVER VALLEY.
ADDITIONAL BOUTS OF SEVERE TSTMS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE FARTHER
SOUTHEAST ALONG THE CENTRAL GULF COAST VICINITY...PERHAPS MAINLY
WEDNESDAY NIGHT.

...EASTERN OK/FAR SOUTHEAST KS TO OZARKS/LOWER MO RIVER VALLEY...
OTHER LOWER TOPPED SEVERE STORMS WILL POSSIBLE MAINLY ACROSS
PORTIONS OF EASTERN OK/NORTHERN AR/SOUTHERN MO IN CLOSER PROXIMITY
TO THE NORTHEAST ADVANCING UPPER SYSTEM. BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE
/50S F/ WILL BE MORE LIMITED ACROSS THIS REGION...BUT IT APPEARS
LIKELY THAT SURFACE BASED TSTM DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR AHEAD OF THE
COMPACT UPPER TROUGH AND ALONG/SOUTH OF A STALLED
SOUTHWEST-NORTHEAST ORIENTED FRONT. WHILE LAPSE RATES WILL BE STEEP
AND VERTICAL SHEAR WILL BE STRONG...UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE DEGREE
OF MOISTURE/INSTABILITY PRECLUDES SLIGHT RISK CALIBER SEVERE
PROBABILITIES AT THIS TIME.

Looks like that is the first semi decent severe weather for quite some time, though the risk doesn't look too high...

Still, bring on the severe season!

What I heard described as a "large wedge" tornado (on one TV report) caused damage tonight in west/central Oklahoma. By the time I saw the TV coverage, the tornado had lifted into a funnel cloud.

Here's an update from NewsOk.com:

Tornado destroys 5 homes, damages others in Hammon

Five homes were destroyed and several others damaged when a tornado passed through Hammon in Custer County this evening, the state emergency management office reported. The storm also damaged a county barn and caused other debris.

Thus far its been another pretty slow month for tornadoes, though there is hints from the models that there will be an increase in severe weather towards the back end of March and into early April, but we shall see!
