   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 539
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Thunderstorms within a slowly southward advancing cluster
   have been diminishing in intensity.  As this continues, the
   potential for strong to severe surface gusts is also likely to
   diminish through 2-3 AM CDT.

   DISCUSSION...Based on recent radar and satellite imagery,
   thunderstorm intensities have been diminishing.  Although attempts
   at renewed convective development are still ongoing above the
   leading edge of southward advancing outflow approaching the Amarillo
   vicinity, slowly strengthening inhibition/weaker CAPE for
   boundary-layer parcels is likely to result in further dissipation of
   convection and diminishing potential for strong to severe gusts over
   the next couple of hours.
