Severe thunderstorm watch may be warranted if convection continues to increase. DISCUSSION...Upper anticyclone is slowly retrograding across the southern Rockies this evening. This is resulting in a gradual increase in northwesterly flow across the southern Plains with 500mb flow now on the order of 25-30kt along the Red River. Weak surface low is sagging south and a notable wind shift is now arcing from southwest OK-GYI-northeast of Dallas. Very hot surface temperatures are noted south of the boundary with surface readings still in excess of 105F. As a result, the boundary layer is very deep across this region, and PW values are seasonally high with values approaching 1.5 inches. 50+ temp/dew point spreads and high cloud bases appear favorable for gusty winds with convection that is gradually maturing along the front near the Red River. If this activity continues to organize there is some concern for a more organized wind threat, especially if convection propagates southeast along the frontal zone. ...Darrow/Thompson.. 09/08/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!8XC05_tMCoJK2GAPTMakfx26Y0gr15rXZqqvTOz64z1tnio_LPSDF90PbEkHVAi3L1fA0aNt8= GfkK7ooa_FzQ4eftvE$ for graphic product...
