   Concerning...Severe Thunderstorm Watch 93...

   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 93
   continues.

   SUMMARY...A severe wind swath is expected to persist for at least
   the next 1-2 hours. Severe gusts may reach 60-80 mph in spots.

   DISCUSSION...A cluster of merging HP supercells have supported the
   development of a likely ongoing severe wind swath, with KTLX
   velocities exceeding 65 kts just a few hundred feet above the
   ground. Given an unstable boundary layer, some downward momentum
   transport of the stronger winds will likely continue over the next
   1-2 hours, with 60-80 mph gusts likely given limited cooling of the
   boundary layer. A mesovortex over northern Pottawatomie County will
   likely focus more intense gusts and/or a brief tornado.
