LocoAko Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 I don't know exactly how rare they are, so forgive me if they are hardly a big deal, but I thought this was really cool. http://www.ksn.com/mostpopular/story/Wichita-experiences-rare-heat-burst-overnight/Cimrp9wOO0CEQShRu52Peg.cspx KICT 090453Z 19027G33KT 10SM FEW065 SCT150 BKN180 29/19 A2979 KICT 090553Z 15013G33KT 110V170 10SM SQ SCT075 BKN180 38/M03 A2970 KICT 090653Z 18020G29KT 10SM SCT080 BKN180 27/17 A2977 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brettjrob Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Breckenridge, OK (~7 ENE Enid) just jumped to 95/40 after having been 83/63 a half hour prior. Max gust associated with the dry gust front passage was "only" 50 mph, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max gust associated with the dry gust front passage was "only" 50 mph, though. I mentioned in the other thread that conditions are favorable for the development of additional heat bursts north of OKC, particularly in the Stillwater and Guthrie areas. Radar shows collapsing high-based thunderstorms capable of producing strong drying downdrafts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishforsnow Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 I experience one of these once. When I woke up at 6 am it was in the lower 60's. Then the time I left work an hour later it rose into the middle 90's. I couldn't believe how hot it all of the sudden it got. The average temperature here in the summer is usually around 70 so to have this at 7 am in the morning was amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocoAko Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Norman's AFD from this morning: WITH THAT BEING SAID...AND PERSISTENT SIGNAL FROM WRF...MULTIPLE CLUSTERS OF STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHWEST PORTIONS OF OKLAHOMA INTO WESTERN NORTH TEXAS...PUTTING POPULATION CENTERS OF SPS/LAW/OKC IN AN AREA THAT COULD EXPERIENCE THE HEAT BURSTS THIS EVENING/TOWARD MIDNIGHT. SOMETHING TO CONSIDER. 00Z RUN OF GFS TRENDING THIS WAY TOO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
