Valid 080125Z - 080330Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 197 continues. SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered severe gusts will become the primary severe hazard into the mid evening hours as thunderstorm updrafts become less robust. Peak gusts with the more intense downdrafts may range 60-80 mph. DISCUSSION...A cluster of thunderstorms over northwest into north TX will continue to slowly weaken in overall updraft intensity but the wind hazard may increase into the mid evening before diminishing by the late evening. 700-500 mb lapse rates sampled on southern Great Plains 7pm CDT raobs showed 8.0 to 8.5 deg C/km in association with an EML. Dry mid-level air and the lapse rates will support strong evaporative potential and the possibility for severe gusts with the stronger downdraft pulses. A 50-kt gust was recently observed at Wichita Falls/Shepard AFB at 748pm somewhat removed from a stronger thunderstorm core. A few of the more intense gusts may exhibit characteristics of convection from both heat bursts and active thunderstorms. Expecting at least an isolated risk for severe gusts to continue into the mid evening beyond the expiration of severe thunderstorm watch 197 (9pm). ...Smith.. 05/08/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!-gFArSlfpgX-PM2T3Z0IDFP35eKzcqMXtqZ2eEOceejyL07UPw5KHW_DRjxYWY3op_Wb5mmDY= 0gCX3empTKf7Xe5OOs$ for graphic product...
