CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 132...
VALID 180409Z - 180615Z
THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 132
CONTINUES.
SUMMARY...THUNDERSTORM INTENSITIES ARE WANING WITH DIMINISHING RISK
FOR SEVERE WEATHER. A NEW SEVERE WEATHER WATCH IS NOT ANTICIPATED.
DISCUSSION...THE SOUTHWARD COLD FRONTAL SURGE CONTINUES,
PARTICULARLY ACROSS AND SOUTH OF THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR OF
OKLAHOMA, ACCOMPANIED BY 3-5+ MB 2-HOURLY SURFACE PRESSURE RISES AND
GUSTY NORTHWESTERLY WINDS. LIFT OF MOIST, POTENTIALLY UNSTABLE AIR
ABOVE THE LEADING EDGE OF THIS AIR MASS IS MAINTAINING FAIRLY
VIGOROUS THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT, WHICH MAY BE LOCALLY AUGMENTING
THESE GUSTS.
MOST UNSTABLE INFLOW NEAR THE COLD FRONT/DRYLINE INTERSECTION
SOUTHWEST OF ALTUS OK MIGHT STILL BE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT AT LEAST
SOME CONTINUING RISK FOR SEVERE HAIL ACROSS THE NEARBY RED RIVER
VICINITY ANOTHER COUPLE OF HOURS. OTHERWISE, PEAK CONVECTIVE
INTENSITIES HAVE BEEN GRADUALLY WANING OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS WITH
DIMINISHING SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL.
