AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
648 AM CDT SUN APR 27 2014
.DISCUSSION...
THE 12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION FOLLOWS....
&&
.AVIATION...
A DRYLINE/COLD FRONT COMBO WILL ADVANCE RAPIDLY E THIS MORNING. AT
1145Z...IT EXTENDED FROM NEAR KAVK TO KLTS. AT 18Z...IT IS
EXPECTED TO BE ALONG A LINE FROM NEAR KPNC TO KADH TO E/KADM.
STRONG TO SEVERE TSRA WILL OCCUR ALONG AND AHEAD OF THIS FRONT.
STRONG W TO SW WINDS AND AREAS OF BLDU WILL FOLLOW THE FRONT. BLDU
WILL BE A BIGGER CONCERN IN W OK AND KSPS THAN AREAS FARTHER E.
WINDS WILL SUBSIDE THIS EVENING...AND BLDU WILL END.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 353 AM CDT SUN APR 27 2014/
DISCUSSION...
PRIMARY IMPACTS TODAY WILL BE WILDFIRE DANGER/WINDY CONDITIONS
BEHIND DRYLINE. WE ADDED A FEW COUNTIES OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA TO THE
WIND ADVISORY...WHERE WINDIEST PART OF THE DAY WILL BE DURING
AFTERNOON HOURS. WITH THE STRONGEST WINDS TO OUR WEST BUT
IMPACTING FAR WESTERN AND SOUTHWEST PARTS OF CWA...AREAS OF
BLOWING DUST THAT WILL REDUCE VISIBILITIES WILL BE ADDED TO
FORECAST. CENTRAL PARTS OF OKLAHOMA COULD STILL SEE SOME BLOWING
DUST...WITH A HAZY/COLORFUL SUNSET LIKELY.
AS FAR AS THUNDERSTORMS...THE OVERALL IDEA OF FINE-SCALE MODELS IS
TO HAVE ISOLATED AND DISORGANIZED DEVELOPMENT NEAR AND AHEAD OF
DRYLINE THROUGH SUNRISE. THEREAFTER...ALL MODELS POINT TO
SCATTERED STORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG AND JUST EAST OF INTERSTATE-35.
TIMING IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AMONG MODELS...BUT GENERALLY THE
DRYLINE AND RISK FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE EAST OF OKC METRO
AND INTERSTATE-35 AFTER 10 AM. AS FAR AS SEVERE STORMS...THERE
WILL BE A THREAT FOR HAIL UP TO GOLFBALL SIZE WITH THE STRONGEST
STORMS...AND THOSE WILL BE VERY ISOLATED. GREATER RISK FOR
ORGANIZED STORMS WILL BE WELL EAST OF INTERSTATE-35 EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON.
COOLER TODAY AND MUCH COOLER BY TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY. THERE IS
THE POSSIBILITY OF PERIODIC ELEVATED SHOWERS ACROSS MAINLY THE
NORTHERN HALF OF OKLAHOMA MONDAY AND TUESDAY AS MID-LEVEL THERMAL
TROUGHS ROTATE AROUND LARGE UPPER LOW. ALTHOUGH WE MAINTAIN
NORTHWESTERLY FLOW TOWARD END OF WEEK...WE SHOULD SEE TEMPERATURES
MODERATE CLOSER TO AVERAGE.
