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.
