THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 93
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...A SEVERE WIND SWATH IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST FOR AT LEAST
THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS. SEVERE GUSTS MAY REACH 60-80 MPH IN SPOTS.
DISCUSSION...A CLUSTER OF MERGING HP SUPERCELLS HAVE SUPPORTED THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A LIKELY ONGOING SEVERE WIND SWATH, WITH KTLX
VELOCITIES EXCEEDING 65 KTS JUST A FEW HUNDRED FEET ABOVE THE

TRANSPORT OF THE STRONGER WINDS WILL LIKELY CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT
