Some Neat Effects from Today's Convective Action

Rain-cooled in south-central Oklahoma has provided the area
with a welcome break from the August heat. One look at the
heat index map illustrates this nicely:

Convection in western Oklahoma is co-located with a developing
meso-low that is seen in the 4:30 pm weather map:

Notice the very strong southerly wind gusts west of Interstate 35
in southern Oklahoma. What are they? The cool temperatures suggest
that they are outflow from storms in north-central Texas. However,
the southerly component has been enhanced by the mesolow in
west-central Oklahoma.
