1149 AM CDT THU APR 16 2009

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 THROUGH TONIGHT
ACROSS ALL OF WESTERN NORTH TEXAS AND MUCH OF WESTERN OKLAHOMA.

LOCATION...
THE SLIGHT RISK AREA IS WEST OF A LINE FROM ALVA... TO WATONGA... TO
LAWTON AND WAURIKA.

TIMING...
AN ISOLATED SEVERE STORM WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. HOWEVER... THE GREATEST SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL BE FROM
EARLY THIS EVENING THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS...
STORM SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL ACROSS THE
RISK AREA SHOULD PLAN FOR POSSIBLE SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS FROM
THIS AFTERNOON UNTIL EARLY FRIDAY MORNING.

DISCUSSION...
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO DEVELOP ACROSS PORTIONS OF WESTERN
OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF THE STORMS
MAY BECOME STRONG PRODUCING SMALL HAIL. HOWEVER... AN ISOLATED
SEVERE STORM ALSO CAN NOT BE RULED OUT. IF A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPS... LARGE HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS WILL BE THE MAIN
CONCERN.

A STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM OVER THE FOUR CORNERS REGION WILL
CONTINUE TO MOVE SLOWLY EAST THROUGH TONIGHT. SOUTH TO SOUTHEASTERLY
WINDS AT LOW LEVELS WILL CONTINUE TO BRING LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE FROM
THE GULF INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE DRY LINE WILL STRENGTHEN AND
MOVE EAST TO CENTRAL PARTS OF THE OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS PANHANDLES
SOUTHWARD BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON.

THE SLOW INCREASE IN LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE WILL RESULT IN ONLY WEAK TO
MODERATE INSTABILITY BY LATE TODAY NEAR THE DRY LINE. WINDS ALOFT
WILL STRENGTHEN IN RESPONSE TO THE SLOW APPROACH OF THE UPPER
SYSTEM... RESULTING IN VERTICAL SHEAR THAT WILL BE FAVORABLE FOR
ORGANIZED SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS. STORMS ARE LIKELY TO INITIATE
DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON HOURS NEAR AND EAST OF THE DRY
LINE... OVER THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN HIGH PLAINS. LATER THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT... INDIVIDUAL STORMS MAY MERGE INTO ONE OR
MORE LINES OR COMPLEXES... AND ADVANCE EAST INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA
AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL BE THE
MAIN CONCERNS. LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN ALSO WILL BE POSSIBLE.

PROBABILITY TABLE...
VALID THROUGH 700 AM CDT FRIDAY APR 17.
PROBABILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING IN THE
              NWS NORMAN COUNTY WARNING AREA...100 PERCENT.
PROBABILITY OF SEVERE STORMS IF STORMS OCCUR...50 PERCENT.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
NONE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK...
THE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE INTO FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY. THE GREATEST RISK WILL BE FRIDAY AFTERNOON OVER WESTERN
OKLAHOMA... CLOSER TO THE CENTER OF THE UPPER STORM SYSTEM. COLD AIR
ALOFT IN THESE AREAS WILL RESULT IN A HIGHER POTENTIAL FOR LARGE
HAIL. ALTHOUGH INSTABILITY WILL BE WEAKER FARTHER EAST... VERTICAL
WIND SHEAR IN THE LOWER LEVELS ALSO WILL SUPPORT STORMS WITH
LOW-LEVEL ROTATION... AND POSSIBLY A FEW TORNADOES... IN WESTERN AND
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
NONE.

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

MAXWELL
