AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
609 AM CST TUE MAR 8 2016

.AVIATION...
0812/0912 TAFS...

SCATTERED TO WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE
ACROSS MOST TERMINAL LOCATIONS THIS MORNING. THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WHICH MAY
REDUCE VISIBILITY BELOW 1 MILE.  HAIL AND WIND GUSTS OVER
45 KNOTS ARE ALSO POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN TEXAS. MOST OF THE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
CLEAR ALL TERMINAL SITES BY 18-19Z. ADDITIONAL STORMS MAY FORM
LATER THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING BUT COVERAGE OF STORMS WILL BE LESS.
MVFR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON BUT IFR CEILINGS MAY
REFORM LATER THIS EVENING/OVERNIGHT.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 351 AM CST TUE MAR 8 2016/

DISCUSSION...
SEVERAL HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENT IN DEVELOPING
SCATTERED CONVECTION OVER SOUTHWESTERN TEXAS EARLY THIS MORNING
WITH INCREASING COVERAGE OVER SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN
NORTH TEXAS BY SUNRISE. INSTABILITY AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL
SUPPORT THE RISK OF LARGE HAIL WITH SOME WIND POTENTIAL THIS
MORNING...ESPECIALLY ACROSS WESTERN NORTH TEXAS AND SOUTHWESTERN
OKLAHOMA. STORM INTENSITY MAY DECREASE OVER CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN
OKLAHOMA...BUT STORMS WILL STILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE
HEAVY RAINFALL AND SOME HAIL. MOST OF THE MORNING CONVECTION IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTH AND EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA BY EARLY
AFTERNOON.

ADDITIONAL STORMS MAY DEVELOP BY MID AFTERNOON ALONG AND NEAR A
COLD IN NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA AND THE TEXAS PANHANDLE. OTHER
STORMS MAY ALSO DEVELOP NEAR DRYLINE IN WESTERN NORTH TEXAS.
SEVERE STORMS WILL CERTAINLY BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY IN WESTERN
NORTH TEXAS WHERE BETTER INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY DEVELOP.

AFTER THE CONVECTION THIS MORNING AND AFTERNOON...TRENDS BECOME
MORE UNCERTAIN. IT'S POSSIBLE THAT WIDESPREAD STORMS WILL FORM
OVER SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL TEXAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS
EVENING...AS AN UPPER LOW MOVES SLOWLY ACROSS NORTHERN MEXICO.
WITH INCREASING SOUTHERLY FLOW AT MID/UPPER LEVELS...STORMS MAY
MOVE/DEVELOP INTO SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA BUT NOT AS
WIDESPREAD AS THE TT WRF MODEL.

THE UPPER LOW OVER NORTHERN MEXICO AND SOUTHERN TEXAS WILL MOVE
LITTLE WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY. MEANWHILE...A MID-LEVEL TROUGH
WILL MOVE ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL ROCKIES LATE WEDNESDAY
INTO THURSDAY. AS THE TROUGH CONTINUES EAST...DRIER AIR WILL
MOVE INTO AT LEAST THE WESTERN 1/3 OR 1/2 OF OKLAHOMA WITH
INCREASING NORTHERLY WINDS.

BY LATE WEEK...A SOUTHERN STREAM SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS THE
SOUTHWESTERN UNITED STATES MAY FINALLY MOVE THE MID/UPPER LOW
OVER TEXAS EASTWARD. AFTER THE SYSTEM MOVES EAST...MAINLY DRY
WEATHER IS EXPECTED WITH A WARMING TREND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
