   The severe weather threat for Severe Thunderstorm Watch 388
   continues.

   SUMMARY...Strong to locally severe wind gusts remain possible with a
   short linear cluster moving southeast in southeast Oklahoma.
   Spatiotemporal uncertainty exists regarding this threat downstream
   for an additional severe thunderstorm watch.

   DISCUSSION...A short linear cluster has surged southeastward into
   southeast OK as advertised by the consensus of 00Z CAM guidance.
   Despite riding along the MLCAPE gradient with a feed of ample
   buoyancy amid a 50-kt southwesterly low-level jet per FWS/SRX VWP
   data, measured surface wind gusts have held in the 35-55 mph range
   across several OK-Mesonet and ASOS/AWOS sites. Indeed, the surface
   cold pool has been relatively weak at 4-6 F of cooling in the wake
   of the cluster. Still, an embedded swath or two of lower-end severe
   gusts may occur, especially near the apex of the cluster across the
   rest of southeast OK.

   Confidence is lower on the degree of wind damage threat into
   northeast TX given overall cloud top warming and lack of stronger
   winds measured in OK thus far. At least a localized damaging wind
   threat should exist outside of WW 388 through sunrise.
