DISCUSSION...Outflow mergers yielded a rather deep convective cluster with very cold IR cloud top temperatures. While the strength of the wind profile is modest with 20-25 kt mid-level north-northwesterlies per DDC/VNX VWP data, a ribbon of weak easterly low-level flow is situated north of the west/east-oriented portion of the surface front about 3 counties deep into OK. This is aiding in effective bulk shear enhancement, and may support loose organization in this cluster and downstream cells forming within a zone of isentropic ascent. Buffalo, OK, mesonet measured a 56-mph gust at 0530Z. Along the western periphery of the moderate buoyancy plume across northern OK to the MO/AR border area, additional strong to marginally severe gusts will be possible over the next few hours before convection likely wanes towards dawn. ...Grams/Edwards.. 08/02/2024 ....Please see https://urldefense.com/v3/__http://www.spc.noaa.gov__;!!DZ3fj= g!9s_VcigjSZlRBhhFBUHpb12x_ZFNkOuP7Rh6WfLDQnEeY8HW4s3j-k2TtBrGOjOBIop_CwMMj= DW2AOOb1iJ6rTLRAWU$ for graphic product...
