AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
1236 PM CDT TUE APR 19 2011

.AVIATION...
NW TO NE WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE PERIOD AS COOL HIGH
PRESSURE BUILDS INTO OK AND N TX. A FEW WISPS OF MVFR-LEVEL CLOUDS
WILL PASS ACROSS N OK THIS AFTERNOON... POSSIBLY CAUSING
INTERMITTENT LOW CIGS AT KGAG...KWWR...AND KPNC. THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT IS FORECAST TO TIGHTEN SOMEWHAT OVERNIGHT...SO THE
NORMAL DIURNAL DROP IN WIND SPEEDS IS NOT EXPECTED TO OCCUR
TONIGHT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1112 AM CDT TUE APR 19 2011/

DISCUSSION...FRONT CONTINUES TO MOVE STEADILY SOUTHEASTWARD
THROUGH TEH FA THIS MORNING. WITH MORE RAPID SOUTHWARD MOVEMENT OF
THE FRONT RED FALG CONDITIONS WILL NOT BE MET IN SOUTHWEST PARTS
OF THE FA AND WILL CANCEL THE RED FLAG WARNING. STILL LOOKS LIKE
MAIN THUNDERSTORM THREAT WILL REMAIN OVER FAR SOUTHEAST PARTS OF
THE FA THIS AFTERNOON AS FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES INTO THAT AREA.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 643 AM CDT TUE APR 19 2011/

AVIATION...
COLD FRONT HAS MOVED ACROSS GAG/WWR EARLIER THIS MORNING
WITH GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS.  POST FRONTAL IFR CEILINGS
SHOULD GRADUALLY IMPROVE BY LATE MORNING. LOW CLOUDS...
MAINLY MVFR CEILING MAY ALSO MOVE INTO CSM...PNC
BEHIND COLD FRONT. VEERED FLOW AHEAD OF FRONT SHOULD
KEEP LOWER CLOUDS AWAY FROM OKC/LAW/SPS THIS MORNING.
FRONT SHOULD BE THROUGH ALL TAF SITES BY 17Z.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 414 AM CDT TUE APR 19 2011/

DISCUSSION...
FORECAST CHALLENGE FOR TODAY WILL BE TIMING OF COLD FRONT
THAT HAS ALREADY MOVED INTO FAR NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA THIS
MORNING.  ADJUSTED FRONTAL TIMING CLOSE TO NAM12 AND THIS
MAY BE TOO SLOW AS RECENT RUC13 AND HRRR ARE QUICKER.
QUICKER FRONTAL TIMING SHOULD HELP LIMIT DURATION OF RED FLAG
CONDITIONS ACROSS SOUTHWEST PARTS OF FA TODAY.  WILL CANCEL
FIRE WEATHER WATCH AND MAY BE ABLE TO CANCEL NORTHERN PARTS
OF THE RED FLAG EARLIER THAN 00Z.

THUNDERSTORM AND SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL SHOULD BE CONFINED TO
FAR SOUTHEAST COUNTIES THIS AFTERNOON. NAM DEVELOPS OVER 4000J
OF CAPE BY 21Z ROUGHLY ALONG AND SOUTHEAST OF MCALESTER...COALGATE
AND MADILL. IF A FEW STORMS FORM...VERY LARGE HAIL WILL BE
LIKELY WITH TORNADOES POSSIBLE WITH RIGHT MOVING STORMS.

COLD FRONT SHOULD PUSH WELL INTO CENTRAL TEXAS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY AS UPPER WAVE(S) MOVE EAST OF SOUTHERN PLAINS.

MORE ACTIVE WEATHER PATTERN AND CHANCES FOR MUCH NEEDED RAIN
MAY BEGIN AS EARLY AS WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.  MOISTURE
WILL BEGIN TO LIFT BACK TO THE NORTH AS ANOTHER SYSTEM MOVES
ACROSS THE INTER-MOUNTAIN REGION. ELEVATED STORMS MAY FORM WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY WITH ADDITIONAL STORMS POSSIBLE ALONG SURFACE
WARM FRONT.

AS THE UPPER WAVE MOVE EAST ON FRIDAY ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
INTO NORTHERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA FRIDAY. FRONT WILL REMAIN ACROSS
THE FA GOING INTO THE WEEKEND AS ANOTHER MORE AMPLIFIED TROUGH
APPROACHES FROM THE SOUTHWEST. FOR NOW WILL ONLY GO WITH 30 TO 40
POPS...BUT PATTERN DOES HOLD PROMISE FOR RAIN AND STORMS.

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 PARTS OF SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA.

LOCATION...
THE SLIGHT RISK AREA IS SOUTHEAST OF A LINE FROM MADILL TO
CENTRAHOMA.

TIMING...
THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE FROM 3 PM
THROUGH 8 PM.

IMPACTS...
VERY LARGE HAIL... POSSIBLY LARGER THAN BASEBALLS... AND DAMAGING
WINDS TO 70 MPH... AND ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS...
STORM SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN
SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA SHOULD PLAN FOR SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS FROM
MID AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING.

DISCUSSION...
A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST PUSHING INTO SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON. DAYTIME HEATING WILL RESULT IN VERY
UNSTABLE CONDITIONS OVER SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA AHEAD OF THE FRONT.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY FORM BY 3 TO 5 PM NEAR OR JUST AHEAD OF
THE COLD FRONT... POSSIBLY IN THE FORM OF SUPERCELLS DUE TO THE
PRESENCE OF STRONG VERTICAL WIND SHEAR. VERY LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE
MAIN CONCERN. DAMAGING STRAIGHT LINE WINDS AND ISOLATED TORNADOES
ALSO WILL BE POSSIBLE. ANY STORMS THAT FORM SHOULD MOVE EAST OUT OF
ATOKA AND BRYAN COUNTIES BY AROUND SUNSET.

PROBABILITY TABLE...
VALID THROUGH 700 AM CDT WEDNESDAY APR 20.
PROBABILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING IN THE
              NWS NORMAN COUNTY WARNING AREA...50 PERCENT.
PROBABILITY OF SEVERE STORMS IF STORMS OCCUR...70 PERCENT.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
ALTHOUGH COOLER TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER HUMIDITY ARE EXPECTED BEHIND
THE FRONT...BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. AS A RESULT OF THE BRISK WINDS AND DRY
VEGETATION...WILDFIRE POTENTIAL WILL REMAIN ELEVATED THIS AFTERNOON.

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

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK...
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL RETURN TO THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT... AND
WILL REMAIN RELATIVELY HIGH FROM THURSDAY THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND
INTO NEXT MONDAY. THERE WILL BE A CHANCE OF SEVERE WEATHER EACH DAY
DURING THIS PERIOD.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
WILDFIRES POTENTIAL WILL REMAIN ELEVATED AS LONG AS THE GROUND
REMAINS DRY AND THERE IS AN ABUNDANCE OF DRY VEGETATION. BUT THE
POTENTIAL FOR WILDFIRES MOST LIKELY WILL DECREASE IN GENERAL OVER
THE NEXT WEEK OR SO... DUE TO THE INCREASING CHANCES OF RAIN AND THE
LIKELIHOOD OF INCREASING HUMIDITY ACROSS MUCH OF THE AREA.

THE NEXT SCHEDULED HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK WILL BE ISSUED AT 5 AM
WEDNESDAY.
