Spotty Wind Threat In Southern and High Plains Using OUN WRF

Though convection is expected to be widespread this afternoon and evening across much of the high and southern Plains regions today, only a marginal severe wind threat is expected to develop using various OUN-WRF products.  The wind gust product only sporadically exceeds 40-45 kts as updrafts pulse up and down.  No particular region stands out over the course of the afternoon as particularly favorable based on the wind product.

In addition, the 5 KM reflectivity product was examined, and generally, reflectivity cores aloft do not just disappear within the data.  The most rapid decreases of cores aloft occur in the Goodland CWA.
