Valid 161351Z - 161515Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 685 continues. SUMMARY...A couple of strong to severe gusts may persist another 1-2 hours before thunderstorms weaken. A downstream watch is not currently expected. DISCUSSION...An overall weakening trend has been observed over the past 30-60 minutes with a bowing cluster of storms moving across the Concho Valley/central TX. Much of the trailing convection to the south/southwest of the apex has decreased in intensity substantially. However, a 44 kt gust was reported at SJT about an hour ago, and a gust to 64 kt was reported at the West Texas Mesonet site at Doole about 30 minutes ago.=20 The overall expectation is that convection will continue to weaken in a modestly unstable airmass characterized by weak vertical shear, poor lapse rates, and decreasing warm advection as storms continue to shift east/southeast. A couple of strong/severe gusts near the apex may persist in the short term, but a downstream watch is not currently expected. ...Leitman.. 09/16/2023 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6Bv5Eam4E4BgCfbwyZQ7t_8gb-hgkQxb92L74bFx3lBrHfMl9NhETS3a-tyD8RAT8DZztTcKf= 0EGslb2AO9FQS8EVIg$ for graphic product...
