FLASH FLOOD STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
949 PM CDT TUE JUN 10 2003

...FLASH FLOOD WARNING FOR COMANCHE COUNTY WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE 
AT 10 PM...

THE STRONG AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS HAVE MOVED OUT OF THE COUNTY AND 
MOST OF THE FLOODING PROBLEMS HAVE SUBSIDED. HOWEVER...A FEW AREAS 
OF HIGH WATER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH 11 PM IN LOW LYING AND POORLY 
DRAINED AREAS.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. 
AS LITTLE AS 6 INCHES OF WATER MAY CAUSE YOU TO LOSE CONTROL OF YOUR 
VEHICLE. TWO FEET OF RUSHING WATER CAN CARRY AWAY MOST VEHICLES 
INCLUDING SUVS AND PICKUP TRUCKS. VEHICLES CAUGHT IN RISING WATER 
SHOULD BE ABANDONED QUICKLY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE 
DANGERS OF HIGH WATER.

141 PM CDT TUE JUN 10 2003

UPPER LEVEL CIRCULATION CENTER CURRENTLY LOCATED OVER THE TX
PANHANDLE CONTS TO MOVE EAST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.  WV IMAGERY
INDICATES DRY SLOT AND RATHER STRONG DEEP LAYER SUBSIDENCE HAS
WORKED INTO MUCH OF WRN OK/NTEX DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS.  18Z OUN
SOUNDING REFLECTS THIS WITH BL MOISTURE DEPTH DECREASING
SIGNIFICANTLY SINCE 12Z.  HOWEVER..STEEP LAPSE RATES REMAIN IN
PLACE..AND IN COMBINATION WITH COOLING MID LEVEL TEMPS..WEAKENING
SUBSIDENCE AND A SHARPENING DRYLINE SOMEWHERE INVOF THE TX/OK STATE
LINE..THIS IS EXPECTED TO BE SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW AT LEAST A COUPLE
OF STORMS TO DEVELOP LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING. SVR
POTENTIAL MAY BE SOMEWHAT LIMITED BY MARGINAL FLOW/SHEAR..BUT STRONG
INSTABILITY SHUD ACT TO OFFSET THIS SOMEWHAT.

ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN MODERATELY/STRONGLY UNSTABLE EACH AFTERNOON
AND EVENING INTO THE WEEKEND ALONG WITH BOUNDARIES IN/NEAR THE CWA.
SO EXPECT PERIODIC BOUTS OF SHOWERS AND STORMS TO CONTINUE FOR THE
REST OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE WEEKEND.  GOING FORECAST HAS A PRETTY
GOOD HANDLE ON THIS AND PLAN ON MAKING VERY FEW CHANGES TO THE
EXTENDED FORECAST PERIODS. KEPT SLIGHT CHANCE POPS GOING INTO
TUESDAY TO ACCOUNT FOR GFS TREND OF BAGGY MID LEVEL HGHT FIELD AND
DISSIPATING BOUNDARY OVR THE SRN PLAINS DAY 7.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
1200 PM CDT TUE JUN 10 2003

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK COVERS NORTHERN...WESTERN...
CENTRAL...AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA...AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK...
THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE ENTIRE
FORECAST AREA.

IMPACTS...
LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS...AND HEAVY TO LOCALLY EXCESSIVE
RAINFALL WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERNS.

TIMING...
THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FROM LATE THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS...
STORM SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL ACROSS THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA SHOULD LISTEN FOR UPDATED FORECAST INFORMATION
THROUGHOUT THE DAY...AND PLAN FOR POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS
LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT.

DISCUSSION...
AT MIDDAY A SLOW-MOVING COLD FRONT WAS LOCATED FROM NORTHEAST KANSAS
INTO THE NORTHERN TEXAS PANHANDLE...WHILE A DRY LINE WAS DEVELOPING
FROM THE TEXAS PANHANDLE SOUTHWARD INTO SOUTHWEST TEXAS. SHOWERS
ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE DRIFTING NORTHEASTWARD
ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA WERE WEAKENING. HIGH CLOUDS FROM THE EARLIER
STORMS WERE THINNING FROM THE SOUTHWEST ACROSS OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN
NORTH TEXAS AND THIS WILL ALLOW SUFFICIENT DAYTIME HEATING TO
PRODUCE VERY UNSTABLE CONDITIONS BY LATE AFTERNOON.

AT UPPER LEVELS...A WELL-DEFINED DISTURBANCE OVER WEST TEXAS THIS
MORNING IS FORECAST TO MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING. THE DRY LINE OVER WEST TEXAS...SHOULD BECOME BETTER
DEFINED AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON AND LIE ACROSS THE EASTERN TEXAS
PANHANDLE. THE COLD FRONT OVER KANSAS WILL LIKELY DRIFT SOUTHEAST
INTO NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA BY THIS EVENING...AND WILL INTERSECT THE DRY
LINE JUST WEST OF THE WESTERN BORDER OF OKLAHOMA.

LIFTING AND COOLING ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THE APPROACHING UPPER
SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO WEAKEN THE CAP THIS AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS
ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON IN THE VICINITY OF THE DRY
LINE AND ALSO NEAR THE COLD FRONT. ALTHOUGH MID LEVEL WINDS WILL BE
RELATIVELY WEAK...INSTABILITY IS EXPECTED TO BE SUFFICIENT FOR
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL
BE THE MAIN THREATS. HEAVY RAIN WILL ALSO BE LIKELY WITH THESE
STORMS.

PROBABILITY TABLE...
VALID THROUGH 700 AM CDT WEDNESDAY JUN 11.
PROBABILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING IN THE
              NWS NORMAN COUNTY WARNING AREA...90 PERCENT.
PROBABILITY OF SEVERE STORMS IF STORMS OCCUR...60 PERCENT.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
THUNDERSTORMS LATE THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT WILL LIKELY
PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN WHICH COULD PRODUCE LOCAL FLOODING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK...
THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY THROUGH
THURSDAY NIGHT OVER THE ENTIRE FORECAST AREA. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
WILL CONTINUE AREAWIDE THROUGH NEXT WEEKEND.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
NONE IS EXPECTED.

THE NEXT SCHEDULED HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK WILL BE ISSUED AT 7 AM
WEDNESDAY.
