AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
409 PM CDT SAT MAY 9 2015

.DISCUSSION...
STRONG/SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE TO BE POSSIBLE THROUGH MID
EVENING ACROSS WESTERN NORTH TEXAS AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA.
SUBSTANTIAL SEVERE...INCLUDING TORNADOES POSSIBLE. GREATEST
CONCERN WILL BE OVER WESTERN NORTH TEXAS...NEAR AND SOUTH OF
SEYMOUR AND WICHITA FALLS...OVER TOWARD SOUTH-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.

SOMEWHAT LOW CONFIDENCE IN DRYLINE CONVECTION AFFECTING WESTERN
OKLAHOMA LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...BUT WILL LEAVE POPS
GOING FOR THE POSSIBILITY. MOST OF THE FORCING AND STEERING FLOW
WOULD KEEP CONVECTION JUST NORTH AND WEST OF BODY OF OKLAHOMA.
DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS WITH NORTHERN TEXAS/FAR SOUTHERN
OKLAHOMA CONVECTIVE TRENDS THROUGH THE EVENING INTO OVERNIGHT...
WE COULD SEE CONVECTION REDEVELOPING NEAR THE I-44 CORRIDOR TOWARD
DAYBREAK SUNDAY. IF THERE IS AN MCS TO OUR SOUTH...CHANCES QUITE
LOW. IF CONVECTION DOES NOT SUSTAIN TO OUR SOUTH OR MOVES EAST
QUICKER THAN PROGD...WE COULD SEE ELEVATED LLJ INDUCED ACTIVITY
NEAR THE I-44 CORRIDOR TOMORROW MORNING. SLOW EASTWARD PROGRESS
WOULD BE SEE THROUGH THE DAY SUNDAY WITH MOST OF THE SEVERE RISK
ACROSS EASTERN AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA. HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING APPEARS
TO BE THE PRIMARY CONCERNS FOR WESTERN NORTH TEXAS-SOUTHWEST INTO
CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.

A COUPLE OF DRY DAYS MONDAY AND TUESDAY BEFORE ACTIVE PATTERN
RETURNS MID TO LATE WEEK. ROUNDS OF SEVERE WEATHER APPEAR PROBABLE
WITH FLOODING A DEFINITE AND CONTINUING THREAT. TEMPERATURES WERE
NOT CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM PREV FCSTS.
