AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
930 PM CST MON MAR 7 2016

.UPDATE...
UPDATED RAIN CHANCES/TEMPERATURES/DEWPOINTS THROUGH 12Z AND
ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH NOON WEDNESDAY.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
REMOVED THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS/STORMS ALONG THE DRYLINE. EARLIER
STORMS THAT DEVELOPED ALONG THE DRYLINE ACROSS NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA HAVE
DISSIPATED. THE CHANCE OF ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE
DRYLINE IS VERY LOW WITH THE RETREATING DRYLINE AND INCREASING
CONVECTIVE INHIBITION.

HIGH RESOLUTION MODELS AND THE 00Z NAM INDICATE A SECOND AREA OF
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ACROSS WEST CENTRAL TEXAS LATER
TONIGHT IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN APPROACHING SHORTWAVE TROUGH. THIS AREA
IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT NORTHEASTWARD INTO WESTERN NORTH TEXAS AND
INTO OKLAHOMA LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. FORECAST
ELEVATED INSTABILITY...QUANTIFIED BY MUCAPE OVER 1500 J/KG...AND
EFFECTIVE BULK SHEAR NEAR 35 KNOTS WILL MAINTAIN A SEVERE THREAT
WITH THESE STORMS.

BASED ON CURRENT AND FORECAST RAINFALL TOTALS...ALSO WENT AHEAD
AND ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH NOON WEDNESDAY FOR
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA.

DISCUSSION...
00Z TAFS.

AVIATION...
WILL HAVE AVIATION ISSUES FOR TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. STRATUS HAS
ENVELOPED AREA EAST OF THE AREA FROM BETWEEN KSPS AND KF05 TO KRCE
AND KBKN WITH AREAS OF STRATUS IN THE WEST. STRATUS WILL PERSIST
AND LIKELY SPREAD NORTHWEST THIS EVENING. THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO FORM ACROSS NORTHWEST TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND
SPREAD NORTHEAST OVERNIGHT WITH HIGH CHANCES OF AFFECTING MANY OF
THE TAF SITES... ALTHOUGH CHANCES NORTHWEST /ESPECIALLY KGAG AND
KWWR/ ARE LOWER.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 311 PM CST MON MAR 7 2016/

DISCUSSION...
MOIST CONVECTION CONTINUES THIS AFTERNOON FROM NEAR ARDMORE TO
JUST WEST OF THE METROPLEX AND IS LIKELY ASSOCIATED WITH A WEAK
MID LEVEL IMPULSE, JET MAX, AND SUBTLE ISENTROPIC ASCENT. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO LIMIT INSTABILITY ACROSS THAT REGION
THROUGH THIS EVENING. FURTHER WEST, THE DRYLINE HAS NOW NUDGED ITS
WAY INTO NW OK AND IS BULGING INTO EXTREME SW OK AND WESTERN N TX.
CU ARE NOW DEVELOPING AHEAD OF IT WHERE CLEARING HAS ALLOWED TEMPS
TO CLIMB INTO MID TO UPPER 70S WITH LOW 60 DEWPOINTS PRESENT. IT
REMAINS POSSIBLE THAT AT LEAST ONE OR TWO SUPERCELLS WILL DEVELOP
WITHIN NARROW CORRIDOR OF INSTABILITY WITH LIMITED CIN PRESENT
JUST AHEAD OF THIS DRYLINE, ESPECIALLY NEAR PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED
BULGE AND NORTHWEST OK, AS HEIGHT FALLS ACCOMPANY A SHORTWAVE
TROUGH MOVING OVER E CO. ALL SEVERE THREATS WOULD BE POSSIBLE
WITH THESE STORMS. IF STORMS DO MANAGE TO DEVELOP EARLY THIS
EVENING, THEY WILL LIKELY WANE AS THEY MOVE NE INTO STABLE
AIRMASS.

LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING, A MID TO UPPER IMPULSE WILL
LIFT NORTHWARD FROM THE UPPER LOW CLOSING OVER NORTHERN MEXICO AND
THE NORTHERN BAJA PENINSULA. STRONG ISENTROPIC ASCENT IS EXPECTED
INITIALLY ACROSS SW OK AND WESTERN N TX BEFORE 12Z, AND THEN
ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN OK DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS TOMORROW.
THE RRQ OF AN UPPER JET WILL ALSO AID IN LIFT, ESPECIALLY ACROSS
CENTRAL OK. A COMPLEX OF STORMS IS STILL ANTICIPATED TO MOVE
UP/NEAR THE I44 CORRIDOR THROUGH TOMORROW. STEEP MID LEVEL LAPS
RATES (~8 C/KM) ARE EXPECTED LATE TONIGHT/EARLY TOMORROW OVER THE
PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED AREAS, IN ADDITION TO MUCAPE AROUND
2000-2500 J/KG AND EFFECTIVE SHEAR AROUND 40 TO 50 KT. THE
PREVIOUS WILL SUPPORT VERY LARGE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF TENNIS
BALLS, AND POTENTIALLY TORNADOES ACROSS SW OK/W N TX FROM AROUND
06-09Z WITH VERY STRONG LOW LEVEL SHEAR PRESENT. AFTER WHICH, A
WIND AND HAIL THREAT WILL CONTINUE. THE COMPLEX OF STORMS SHOULD
MOVE OUT OF OUR FA AND INTO TSA'S SOMETIME DURING THE AFTERNOON
HOURS. MODEL GUIDANCE HAS TRENDED FURTHER WEST WITH THIS COMPLEX,
BUT IS STILL STRUGGLING A BIT. THE EXPERIMENTAL HRRR AND TEXAS
TECH WRF ARE PERFORMING FAIRLY WELL RIGHT NOW AND MATCH WELL WITH
ANTICIPATED MID LEVEL ASCENT TONIGHT SO THE FORECAST WAS WEIGHED
HEAVILY TOWARDS THEIR TRENDS. LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING WILL BE
POSSIBLE THROUGH TOMORROW, ESPECIALLY ALONG AND SE OF THE I44
CORRIDOR.

A BRIEF BREAK IN PRECIPITATION SHOULD OCCUR FOR MOST OF THE AREA
TUESDAY NIGHT BEFORE RETURNING WED MORNING AS THE UPPER LOW MOVES
INTO WEST TEXAS AND ANOTHER SIGNFICANT WAVE LIFTS NORTHWARD OVER
THE RED RIVER WITHIN DEEP SOUTHERLY FLOW. STRONG MID LEVEL
ISENTROPIC ASCENT WILL AGAIN ACCOMPANY THIS FEATURE OVER CENTRAL,
EASTERN AND SOUTHERN OK. LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL WILL BE
POSSIBLE THROUGH WED, SPECIFICALLY ACROSS CENTRAL, SOUTHERN AND
EASTERN OK.

RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST FRIDAY, WITH THE
HIGHEST CHCS IMPACTING ZONES SOUTH OF I40 AS THE MID LEVEL LOW
FINALLY BEGINS TO LIFT NORTHWARD. A WARMING AND DRYING TREND
SHOULD RETURN LATE THIS WEEKEND.
