Squall Line Severe Wind Obs

A fast moving squall line raced across the state last night, unleashing
powerful winds and brief heavy rain. Because the line was quite narrow
and moving so quickly, rainfall totals were not spectacular, but several
severe winds were observed by the Oklahoma Mesonet:

Hobart 59 mph 5:20 pm
Hobart 61 mph 5:25 pm
Alva 59 mph 6:45 pm
Breckinridge 61 mph 7:55 pm
Medford 65 mph 8:10 pm
Copan 60 mph 10:35 pm
Erick 59 mph 10:50 pm
Goodwell 60 mph 11:45 pm
