AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
706 AM CDT SAT APR 16 2016

.AVIATION...
1612/1712 TAFS...

MAINLY MVFR CEILINGS WILL PREVAIL THIS MORNING WITH GUSTY
SOUTHEAST WINDS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
SHOULD MOVE ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA THIS MORNING WITH NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED BY LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING. THE
STRONGER STORMS THIS EVENING WILL MAINLY IMPACT HBR/LAW/SPS WITH
IFR CEILINGS AND VISIBILITIES.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 508 AM CDT SAT APR 16 2016/

DISCUSSION...
A PERSISTENT AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES EARLY
THIS MORNING ACROSS SW KS. A FEW STORMS ARE NOW MAKING IT INTO OUR
FA. THIS ACTIVITY SHOULD CONTINUE TO WANE THROUGH SUNRISE, BUT
ADDITIONAL WIDELY SCATTERED ELEVATED DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED
WITHIN ZONE OF ENHANCED ISENTROPIC ASCENT OVER WESTERN OK LATE
THIS MORNING THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON AS A 700 MB SHORTWAVE TROUGH
LIFTS OVER THE REGION. MOST, IF NOT ALL, OF THIS ACTIVITY WILL
REMAIN SUB-SEVERE. LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT, HOWEVER, DEEP
LAYER SHEAR WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND ENOUGH INSTABILITY
SHOULD DEVELOP AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE TO SUPPORT A SEVERE THREAT
MOVING INTO OUR SW/W ZONES. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS, ALTHOUGH A TORNADO OR TWO WILL BE POSSIBLE AS LLJ
INCREASES TOWARD SUNSET. LATE TONIGHT, AN MCS MAY DEVELOP ACROSS
SW OK AND WESTERN N TX AS THE LLJ CONTINUES TO INCREASE AND A MORE
PROMINENT MID TO UPPER SHORTWAVE LIFTS AHEAD OF THE CLOSED LOW. IN
ADDITION TO DAMAGING WIND, VERY HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE
TONIGHT OVER SW OK AND WESTERN NORTH TX WITH VERY EFFICIENT
RAINFALL EXPECTED WITHIN TROPICAL LIKE ENVIRONMENT. SOME LOCATIONS
ACROSS SW OK COULD RECEIVE OVER 6 IN BY LATE SUN/EARLY MON. THE
HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT WILL THEN SHIFT EAST INTO CENTRAL OK SUNDAY
MORNING BUT EVENTUALLY DECREASE THROUGH THE DAY.

THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED ENVIRONMENT WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER OK
THROUGH AT LEAST EARLY MONDAY AM, WITH A SECOND ROUND OF HEAVY
RAINFALL EXPECTED LATE SUNDAY THROUGH EARLY MON AS THE CLOSED LOW
CONTINUES TO EXPAND AND A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO WESTERN OK. IT'S
STILL A BIT UNCLEAR WHERE THE SECOND ROUND OF HEAVIEST PRECIP WILL
SETUP, BUT THE MOST LIKELY AREAS RIGHT NOW APPEAR TO BE ACROSS
SOUTHERN AND CENTRAL OK. MOST OF THE HEAVY RAINFALL SHOULD END
RATHER QUICKLY MON AM AS DRIER MID LEVEL AIR IMPACTS THE REGION
BEHIND AN EXITING SHORTWAVE TROUGH.

RAIN CHCS WILL INCREASE AGAIN NEAR THE RED RIVER LATE MON THROUGH
TUE AS THE CLOSED LOW REMAINS OVER THE ROCKIES AND MID LEVEL
SHORTWAVE TROUGHS CONTINUE TO IMPACT THE AREA AND A DIFFUSE
BOUNDARY IN PLACE. MORE WIDESPREAD POPS ARE EXPECTED LATE TUE
THROUGH WED AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT STALLS ACROSS CENTRAL OK.
ADJUSTED MAX TEMPS DOWN FOR TUE AND WED A BIT WHERE PERSISTENT
CLOUD COVER AND RAINFALL IS EXPECTED. RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE
BY LATE NEXT WEEK AS MID TO UPPER RIDGING RETURNS OVERHEAD. TEMPS
WILL ALSO WARM TO SLIGHTLY ABOVE NORMAL.
