Mesoscale Discussion 0664
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0351 AM CDT Fri May 22 2020
Areas affected...central and north-central OK
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 200...
Valid 220851Z - 221015Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 200
continues.
SUMMARY...Isolated severe gusts will remain possible with the
southeastward-moving squall line over the next few hours.
DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows a mature squall line extending from
the northeast TX Panhandle eastward into north-central OK and arcing
northeast to the Wichita vicinity. Surface observations via the OK
Mesonet have recorded strong gusts primarily in the 40-50 mph range
with a recently measured 73 mph gust at Lahoma, OK at 330am CDT.
Additionally, surface observations indicate a meso-high is located
over southwestern KS.
KVNX VAD is now sampling a stout rear inflow jet with 50-55 kt flow
around 0.5-1 km ARL. The well-organized character of the
front-to-rear convective system will likely continue southeast
across the I-35 and I-44 corridors in central OK during the next few
hours. Given the observational trends in peak gusts, current
thinking is an additional watch is not needed given the isolated
coverage of severe gusts and gradual weakening trend of the squall
line.
