.AVIATION...
AN UPPER LEVEL THUNDERSTORM SYSTEM CONTINUED TO APPROACH THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS. SEVERE TSRA CONTINUES TO BREAK OUT ACROSS
SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA... WITH MARGINAL GR AS THE MAIN THREAT.
EXPECTING STORMS TO RAMP UP BY 21Z... AFFECTING MOST OF OUR
TERMINALS THROUGH THE EVENING. THE STORM ACTIVITY SHOULD BE
DECREASING WEST TO EAST BY EARLY MORNING... AS THE UPPER LOW
CONTINUES IT TRACK INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1034 AM CDT SAT MAY 9 2015/

UPDATE...
TWO AREAS OF SHOWERS/STORMS THIS MORNING. ONE IN SE PARTS OF THE
FA AND THE OTHER AREA IS AFFECTING WESTERN OK. THIS ACTIVITY IS
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS BUT DECREASE/DIMINISH
EARLY TO MID-AFTERNOON. THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS
AFTERNOON/EVENING DUE TO THE MORNING CONVECTION BUT ADDITIONAL
STORMS ARE STILL POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING WITH SOME
MODELS CURRENTLY SHOWING THE BEST CHANCE IN PARTS OF SOUTHERN
OK/WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. FURTHER NORTH THERE COULD BE OTHER STORMS
BUT MAY BE MORE SCATTERED. SEVERE STORMS WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE
ESPECIALLY IF HAVE A CHANCE TO RECOVER FROM THIS MORNING. HEAVY
RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN THROUGHOUT THE DAY AND
TONIGHT.

MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO POP/WX GRIDS TO ACCOUNT FOR MORNING
ACTIVITY... THEN LOWERED CHANCES FOR LATE AFTERNOON AND THEN
INCREASE POPS IN THE SOUTH FOR THIS EVENING. UPDATES OUT SHORTLY.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 330 AM CDT SAT MAY 9 2015/

DISCUSSION...
ANOTHER MESSY SCENARIO SETTING UP FOR THE COMING DAY WITH RESPECT
TO CONVECTION AND SEVERE POTENTIAL.

EXPECT THAT WE WILL SEE CONVECTION REDEVELOP EARLY THIS MORNING TO
OUR WEST AND SOUTHWEST THAT WILL MOVE EAST AND NORTHEAST ACROSS
PORTIONS OF THE AREA THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. ELEVATED
INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR LOOK TO BE SUFFICIENT FOR SOME
SEVERE... MAINLY HAIL... TO BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY. THE
QUESTION IS THEN, WHAT IMPACT WILL THIS HAVE ON AFTN STORM
DEVELOPMENT AND ITS INTENSITY.

CURRENT THOUGHT IS THAT MORNING CONVECTION SHOULD PUSH EAST AND
NORTHEAST SUFFICIENTLY EARLY THAT THE AIRMASS TO THE EAST OF THE
DRYLINE WILL RECOVER SUFFICIENTLY THAT ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM
DEVELOPMENT WILL OCCUR DURING THE AFTN HOURS FROM THE HIGH PLAINS
BACK SOUTH INTO THE OKLAHOMA AND TEXAS PANHANDLES. SUPERCELL
THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF ALL TYPES OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS. APPEARS THAT WESTERN/NORTHWESTERN HALF
OF THE OKLAHOMA WILL HAVE THE HIGHEST POTENTIAL FOR THESE MOST
SEVERE STORMS. HOWEVER LOCATIONS FURTHER SOUTH WILL STILL HAVE
POTENTIAL AS INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR WILL BE MORE THAN
SUFFICIENT FOR SEVERE STORMS... JUST MORE UNCERTAINTY AS TO
RECOVERY FROM MORNING CONVECTION MAY EXIST THERE.

WE THEN TURN TO SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY... LATE NIGHT
REDEVELOPMENT LOOKS POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA AND THEN
AGAIN SUNDAY AFTERNOON ALONG AN ADVANCING COLD FRONT. BY SUNDAY
AFTERNOON THIS FRONT IS EXPECTED TO BE ADVANCING THROUGH NORTH
CENTRAL INTO SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA... WHICH IS QUITE A BIT SLOWER
THAN WAS PREVIOUS MODELS WOULD HAVE INDICATED. MODELS ALSO SHOW...
UNFORTUNATELY... VERY HIGH PRECIP TOTALS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS
CONVECTION FOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND NIGHT. THERE IS A SEVERE RISK
FOR SUNDAY... BUT THINK THAT ADDITIONAL PRECIP WILL BE MAIN IMPACT
WITH THE STORMS ON SUNDAY. THIS WILL RESULT IN THE NEED TO EXTEND
THE FLOOD WATCH INTO MONDAY MORNING ACROSS MUCH OF THE SAME AREAS
THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDER THE WATCH.

AFTER THIS SHOULD SEE A COUPLE OF RATHER TRANQUIL AND DRY DAYS
BEFORE SOUTHWEST FLOW BRINGS MORE PRECIP CHANCES BACK INTO THE
AREA BY MID-WEEK.

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN...
WESTERN...CENTRAL...AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA...AND WESTERN NORTH
TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

.THUNDERSTORMS...
THERE IS A ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE STORMS ACROSS WESTERN AND PARTS
OF CENTRAL AND SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA... AND ALL OF WESTERN
NORTH TEXAS.

LOCATION...
THE ENHANCED RISK AREA IS GENERALLY WEST OF A LINE FROM MEDFORD
AND ENID... TO KINGFISHER AND MUSTANG... TO PAULS VALLEY AND
ARDMORE OKLAHOMA. THIS INCLUDES ALL OF WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. A
SLIGHT RISK COVERS THE REST OF NORTH CENTRAL... CENTRAL... SOUTH
CENTRAL... AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA.

TIMING...
A SEVERE STORM OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE THROUGH EARLY AFTERNOON BUT THE
MOST SIGNIFICANT SEVERE THREAT WILL EVOLVE FROM 4 PM TO 10 PM.

IMPACTS...
TORNADOES POSSIBLE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING... ESPECIALLY
ACROSS PARTS OF WESTERN OKLAHOMA. VERY LARGE HAIL UP TO BASEBALL
SIZE DAMAGING WINDS TO 70 MPH HEAVY RAINFALL MAY LEAD TO FLASH
FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING IN SOME AREAS.

.SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT...

STORM SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL IN THE
RISK AREAS SHOULD PREPARE FOR SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS MUCH OF
THE DAY...BUT ESPECIALLY IN THE 4 PM TO 10 PM WINDOW...WHEN THE
MORE SIGNIFICANT SEVERE THREAT IS EXPECTED.

DISCUSSION...
ANOTHER COMPLEX SEVERE WEATHER SETUP IS FORECAST TODAY AND
TONIGHT.

A COUPLE AREAS OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE TO
AFFECT PARTS OF WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA AND
NORTH TEXAS. THIS ACTIVITY MAY DECREASE SOME BY AROUND MID-
AFTERNOON.

THE MORE SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO BE LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE EAST OF THE
DRYLINE. THE PROGRESSION AND INTENSITY OF THE SEVERE STORMS LATE
THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL DEPEND ON THE EVOLUTION AND
RECOVERY FROM THE EARLY STORMS. VERY LARGE HAIL... DAMAGING WIND
GUSTS... AND TORNADOES ARE POSSIBLE. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
STORMS WILL DECREASE OVERNIGHT BUT STORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE
INTO EARLY SUNDAY.

.HEAVY RAIN...
ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN WILL BE LIKELY IN SOME AREAS TODAY AND
TONIGHT WHICH COULD LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. RIVER FLOODING WILL
ALSO OCCUR THROUGH TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY...

.THUNDERSTORMS...
SEVERE STORMS WILL REMAIN IN THE FORECAST SUNDAY...AS THE STRONG
STORM SYSTEM SLOWLY MOVES THROUGH THE REGION. STRONG TO POTENTIALLY
SEVERE STORMS MAY BE ONGOING SUNDAY MORNING...BUT A MORE
SUBSTANTIAL THREAT OF SEVERE STORMS WILL DEVELOP DURING THE MID
TO LATE AFTERNOON HOURS AHEAD OF A SLOW MOVING FRONT. ADEQUATE
INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR WILL BE PRESENT FOR VERY LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS. A LOW TORNADO THREAT WILL ALSO EXIST WITH ANY
STRONGER STORMS. STORMS WILL LIKELY LINGER INTO SUNDAY NIGHT AS
THEY SLOWLY MOVE EAST...WITH A BREAK IN THUNDERSTORMS MONDAY.

STORMS THEN RETURN TO THE FORECAST LATE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH NEXT
WEEKEND. SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORM POTENTIAL MAY EXIST BY LATE
NEXT WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

.HEAVY RAIN...
VERY HEAVY RAINFALL MAY OCCUR SUNDAY AS SEVERAL ROUNDS OF
THUNDERSTORMS MOVE OVER THE SAME AREAS. THIS WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
ADDITIONAL FLASH FLOODING AND RIVER FLOODING CONCERNS.
