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

.DAY ONE...TONIGHT...

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK...
THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TONIGHT
ACROSS PORTIONS OF OKLAHOMA.

LOCATION...
THE SLIGHT RISK AREA IS NORTH AND WEST OF A LINE FROM ALTUS... TO
ARDMORE ...TO DURANT.

TIMING...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD DEVELOP AT ANYTIME AND LAST THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS.

IMPACTS...
HAIL TO THE SIZE OF SOFTBALLS AND THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS IN EXCESS
OF 70 MPH WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERNS.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS...
STORM SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL ACROSS THE
RISK AREA SHOULD LISTEN FOR UPDATES... AND BE PREPARED FOR POSSIBLE
SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS THROUGH TONIGHT.

DISCUSSION...
ALTHOUGH DEEP-LAYER AND LOW-LEVEL WIND SHEAR WILL REMAIN MARGINAL
FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE STORMS TONIGHT...AN EXTREMELY UNSTABLE AIRMASS
WILL ALLOW THE DEVELOPMENT OF INTENSE THUNDERSTORMS. A NEGATIVE
FACTOR TO WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS WILL BE A WEAK TO MODERATE
CAPPING INVERSION. THIS CAP WILL BE STRONGEST OVER SOUTHWEST
OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS...AND WEAKEST OVER NORTHERN
OKLAHOMA. THUS...MOST OF THE THUNDERSTORMS THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT ARE EXPECTED OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF OKLAHOMA. WITH THIS
BEING SAID...IF A COMPLEX OF STORMS CAN DEVELOP A STRONG ENOUGH
OUTFLOW TONIGHT...STORMS COULD SURGE SOUTHWARD INTO THE RED RIVER
VALLEY AND NORTH TEXAS.

A WEAK TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE...EXTENDING FROM NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA
NEAR ALVA AND CHEROKEE...SOUTHEAST TO JUST NORTH OF OKLAHOMA CITY
AND SEMINOLE...IS THE MOST LIKELY FOCUS FOR ORGANIZED STORMS THIS
EVENING. LOCATIONS NEAR AND NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY WILL STAND THE
BEST CHANCES FOR STORMS. OVERNIGHT...THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL
WILL DEPEND ON WHETHER THUNDERSTORMS OVER NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND
SOUTHERN KANSAS CAN ORGANIZE INTO A LARGE COMPLEX...AND PRODUCE
ENOUGH OUTFLOW TO OVERCOME THE NOCTURNAL STRENGTHENING OF THE
CAPPING INVERSION. AT THIS TIME...IT APPEARS THAT ALL AREAS IN THE
SLIGHT RISK AREA STAND A CHANCE OF STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS THROUGH
THE NIGHT. UPDATES WILL BE MADE TO OUR OUTLOOK IF THIS THINKING
CHANGES.

PROBABILITY TABLE...
VALID THROUGH 700 AM CDT WEDNESDAY JUN 20.
PROBABILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING IN THE
              NWS NORMAN COUNTY WARNING AREA...100 PERCENT.
PROBABILITY OF SEVERE STORMS IF STORMS OCCUR...100 PERCENT.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
LOCALIZED HEAVY RAINFALL. ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN COULD CAUSE FLOODING
IN AREAS WHERE RECENT RAINS HAVE SATURATED THE GROUND.

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

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK...
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL CONTINUE INTO THE DAY ON WEDNESDAY... BUT
ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN VERY LOW THROUGH THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK
AND INTO THE WEEKEND.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
NONE.

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