...New UPDATE...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 354 PM CDT Thu Apr 18 2024

Zone update just sent to account for SVR Watch #126 that is in
effect through 04Z this evening for McCurtain County OK and the
Nrn sections of SW AR. This threat remains conditional and
primarily frontal driven within the very moist and unstable air
mass in place, and given the lack of strong overall forcing 
aloft, is expected to diminish later this evening with reduced 
heating/instability.
