Mesoscale Discussion 1453
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0612 AM CDT Fri Jul 07 2023
Areas affected...portions of western and central OK
Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 458...
Valid 071112Z - 071245Z
The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 458
continues.
SUMMARY...Severe gusts to 65 mph remain possible over the next
couple of hours across WW 458.
DISCUSSION...A small, but well organized bow is developing southeast
across western into central OK early this morning. A swath of 65+
mph winds have been measured near the apex of the bow by several OK
Mesonet and regional ASOS sites over the past 1-2 hours. A well
defined rear inflow jet is depicted in regional radar data, and
severe gust potential may persist for at least a couple more hours.
As the bow continues eastward, the influence of the low-level jet
will diminish and a gradual weakening trend is expected as
convection moves into the I-35 corridor across central OK. Per
coordination with WFO OUN, an aerial watch extension is planned for
parts of central OK as damaging wind potential may extend outside
the current bound of WW 458 for a short time this morning.
