Valid 010602Z - 010730Z The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 169 continues. SUMMARY...Severe thunderstorm potential will be focused across south-central Oklahoma the next couple of hours. Strong gusts to 60 mph are possible. DISCUSSION...Surface observations over the past 1-2 hours have showed a considerable drop in surface dewpoints across parts of central OK (from low/mid 60s F to mid 50s F). This is likely due to subsidence behind earlier southwest OK storms and low-level advection of drier boundary-layer air moving into the OKC metro vicinity. Convection across north-central OK has largely weakened as outflow has outpaced this activity. For both of these reasons, severe potential will likely remain limited across the northern two-thirds of WW 169.=20 A bowing segment across south-central OK produced a 62 mph gust at the Ringling OK Mesonet site around midnight local time, with other measured gusts around 45-50 mph more recently. As this bow continues east over the next 1-2 hours gusts to 60 mph will remain possible. Though, gradual weakening is expected with time and eastward extent. ...Leitman.. 05/01/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!6IQXg5iIPoBQY8ircmECsjaxuE2-JUm9QhgjdUNOkZHrU9WIl2bLIaeinii9tx9es9Xk9V7jE= mDiJ9YF6vtbZnXto-Y$ for graphic product...
