What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this severe thunderstorm warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Norman, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Apr 19, 9:10 PM CDT, 19 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Apr 19, 9:10 PM CDT, 19 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
910 PM CDT TUE APR 19 2016

.UPDATE...
AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES TO MOVE ACROSS THE FA
WITH SOME STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS IN SOUTHERN PARTS OF THE FA.
THIS ACTIVITY SEEMS TO BE MOVING EAST QUICKER THAN PREVIOUSLY
FORECASTED WITH MAJORITY OF ACTIVITY EXPECTED TO BE OUT OF MOST OF
THE FA BY 12Z... SO HAVE ADJUSTED POPS/WX GRIDS ACCORDINGLY. ALSO
ADJUSTED QPF TO PUT HIGHER RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN PARTS OF WESTERN
NORTH TEXAS AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA WHERE HAVE BEEN GETTING SOME
TRAINING OF STORMS. HEAVY RAIN LEADING TO FLOODING WILL REMAIN
POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT SO WILL CONTINUE WITH FLOOD WATCH INTO EARLY
WEDNESDAY. UPDATES OUT SOON.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 640 PM CDT TUE APR 19 2016/

DISCUSSION...
STRONG TO PERHAPS SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAIN WILL
CONTINUE AFFECT PARTS OF THE AREA THIS EVENING.

AS OF 640 PM...A LINE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS EXISTED FROM NEAR
SEYMOUR TEXAS TO WEATHERFORD TO WATONGA TO MEDFORD. THIS LINE
WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE EAST OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. DO NOT THINK
THIS LINE WILL STRENGTHEN MUCH OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS.

HEAVY RAIN REMAINS THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS LINE. FLASH FLOODING
COULD RESULT IN A FEW LOCATIONS AS 1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL MAY
OCCUR LESS THAN ONE HOUR. A FEW SEVERE REPORTS OF LARGE HAIL AND
DAMAGING WINDS MAY OCCUR...ESPECIALLY SOUTH OF THE RED RIVER IN
WESTERN NORTH TEXAS WHERE INSTABILITY IS GREATEST WITH MUCAPE
AROUND 1000 J/KG.

THE LINE OF STORMS SHOULD SLOWLY WEAKEN AFTER 10 PM AS IT MOVES
INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA WHERE THE AIR WILL BE A BIT COOLER AND
SOMEWHAT MORE STABLE.

AVIATION DISCUSSION FOR THE 00Z TAFS IS BELOW.

MBS

AVIATION...
BEFORE 06Z...ISO-NUM SHRA/TSRA WILL AFFECT SITES AND BRING
VARIABLE GUSTY WINDS AS WELL AS VARYING CONDITIONS FROM LIFR TO
VFR. TIMING OF SHRA/TSRA REMAINS SOMEWHAT UNCERTAIN. ANY LIFR/IFR
CONDITIONS SHOULD BE BRIEF IN NATURE.

06-15Z...WIDESPREAD IFR CONDITIONS ARE FORECAST TO FORM.
CONFIDENCE IS NOT THE GREATEST. SOME CONDITIONS MAY FALL TO
LIFR/VLIFR WITH BR/FG...BUT NOT SURE THIS WILL OCCUR.

AFTER 15Z...IMPROVING CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED. MOST...IF NOT
ALL...SITES SHOULD BE VFR BY 18Z.

MBS

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 204 PM CDT TUE APR 19 2016/

DISCUSSION...
RAIN AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TONIGHT REMAIN THE PRIMARY FORECAST
CONCERN.

CURRENTLY... SCATTERED SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE
TO DEVELOP OVER THE PANHANDLES... AND THROUGH 19Z... HAVE BEGUN TO
SLOWLY MOVE INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA. THIS ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO
DEVELOP ALONG/AHEAD OF THE MID-LEVEL THETA-E AXIS TIED TO THE
850/700MB FRONT/TROUGH. INCREASED ISENTROPIC ASCENT ACROSS WESTERN
NORTH TEXAS INTO SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE
THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND EVENING AS A SHORT WAVE TROUGH ROUNDS
THE BASE OF THE PARENT LOW... SWINGING OFF THE LLANO ESTACADO
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. INCREASED CONVECTION FROM THIS FEATURE BEGAN
TO MATERIALIZE JUST OFF THE CAPROCK THROUGH 18Z NEAR AND AROUND
LUBBOCK. AS MENTIONED BY MCD 417 FROM THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER...
SOME BREAKS/THINNING OF CLOUD COVER OVER WESTERN NORTH TEXAS TOWARDS
THE CAPROCK HINT AT POTENTIAL SUBTLE DESTABILIZATION OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS. A TROPICAL LIKE AIRMASS... DEW POINTS ACROSS THE REGION
REMAIN WELL INTO THE MID TO UPPER 50S... NEARING 60 IN SOME
LOCATIONS ON THE WEST TEXAS MESONET. FROM BUFR SOUNDINGS... A FEW
STRONG THUNDERSTORMS WITHIN THIS REGION OF INCREASED LIFT AND MINOR
INSTABILITY COULD BE CAPABLE OF SEVERE HAIL... UP TO QUARTERS OR
HALF DOLLARS INTO THE EVENING. SOME OF THIS ACTIVITY MAY MOVE INTO
PORTIONS OF WESTERN NORTH TEXAS THROUGH SUNSET.

OVERNIGHT... MESOSCALE GUIDANCE FROM THE RAP/HRRR/HRRRX CONTINUE TO
PROMOTE EXPANSION OF CONVECTION ALONG THE SFC TROUGH/FRONT AS IT
PUSHES EAST/SOUTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA/NORTHERN
TEXAS. THE HRRRX HAS BEEN THE MORE AGGRESSIVE SOLUTION... BUT ITS
TIMING APPEARS IN LINE WITH THE LATEST RUNS OF THE GFS/ECMWF/NAM. OF
NOTE... THE NAM HAD THE MORE AGGRESSIVE PRECIP SOLUTION LAST
NIGHT... WHICH WORKED OUT FAIRLY WELL ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST INTO
NORTH TEXAS. WITH THAT SAID... LIKE THE MIX OF THE MESOSCALE AND
TRADITIONAL GUIDANCE FOR RAIN/THUNDER EVOLUTION OVERNIGHT...
ESPECIALLY THE COVERAGE AND TIMING FROM THE LATEST HRRRX. AT
PRESENT... EXPECT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS TO BUILD UPSTREAM ALONG
THE FRONT/TROUGH AS A MODEST LLJ DEVELOPS. STILL STRUGGLING TO NAIL
DOWN WHERE THE HIGHEST PRECIP AMOUNTS MAY DEVELOP. CURRENT THOUGHTS
ARE SOMEWHERE FROM NEAR THE RED RIVER IN WESTERN NORTH TEXAS AND
N/NE ALONG THE I-44 CORRIDOR TOWARD THE OKC METRO. ANOTHER AREA OF
HIGHER PRECIP MAY DEVELOP NEAR THE OK/KS BORDER NEAR I-35... NEARER
THE GREATER INFLUENCE FROM THE 500MB SHORT WAVE. WILL HOLD OFF ON
BEING TOO BULLISH WITH PRECIP... WITH THE HIGHEST AMOUNTS BETWEEN A
HALF INCH TO AN INCH OVERNIGHT. WITH THIS IN MIND... DO NOT PLAN ON
MAKING ANY CHANGES TO THE CURRENT FLOOD WATCH.

WEDNESDAY... RAIN CHANCES WILL DECREASE QUICKLY THROUGH THE MORNING
FROM THE WEST TO EAST. OVERNIGHT... IN GENERAL... GUIDANCE CONTINUES
TO DEVELOP AN AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ALONG A LOW/MID-
LEVEL BOUNDARY IN ASSOCIATION WITH ANOTHER SHORT WAVE TROUGH. THE
LATEST GFS IS MUCH MORE AGGRESSIVE WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THIS
SHORT WAVE... BUT THE GENERAL PATTERN IS REFLECTED BY OTHER
GUIDANCE. PRECIP CHANCES WILL THEN INCREASE LATE WEDNESDAY INTO
THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH
TEXAS.

THURSDAY INTO THE WEEKEND... LINGERING SHOWERS WILL REMAIN AFTER THE
BULK OF PRECIP FINALLY EXITS TO THE E/SE THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING.
EXPECT DRY CONDITIONS FROM FRIDAY INTO SUNDAY AS A RIDGE BUILDS OVER
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. OPPOSED TO YESTERDAY... THE GFS AND ECMWF ARE
NOW IN GENERAL AGREEMENT WITH THE NEXT INCOMING TROUGH SUNDAY...
WHILE THE CANADIAN REMAINS A STARK OUTLIER. FOLLOWING THE
CONSISTENCY OF THE GFS/ECMWF... A 500MB TROUGH WILL LIFT N/NE ALONG
THE CENTRAL ROCKIES... RESULTING IN A SURFACE TROUGH MOVING INTO THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS SUNDAY EVENING. IN RESPONSE... PRECIP CHANCES WILL
INCREASE LATE IN THE WEEKEND... MOST LIKELY SUNDAY EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT.
