Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
616 PM CDT SUN AUG 7 2016
.DISCUSSION...
Aviation discussion for the 00 UTC TAFs is below.
&&
.AVIATION...
VFR conditions are expected to continue.
Besides near KGAG before 02 UTC, chances for SHRA/TSRA remain too
low to mention.
Areas of MVFR or lower conditions with BR are possible across
northern Oklahoma near KPNC, KWWR, and KGAG 06-18 UTC. Did not
mention due to low confidence of occurrence.

&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 254 PM CDT SUN AUG 7 2016/
DISCUSSION...
Scattered to numerous storms expected mainly over northwest and
north-central Oklahoma...north of quasi stationary front. Damaging
wind gusts will be the primary severe weather impact with the
strongest storms through early evening. Heavy rain impacts will
also be monitored over north-central Oklahoma through the evening.
Will spread rain chances over central Oklahoma this evening into
the overnight hours for potential storm development near outflow
boundaries. With the synoptic front slow to exit and residual
outflows tomorrow...will follow model solutions of at least
scattered thunderstorms again Monday afternoon into the evening
hours with higher-end pops from initializations.
Overall decrease in convection chances Tuesday through Thursday
before storm chances increase significantly Thursday night into
next weekend. This will be associated with a more substantial
change in airmass as Northern/Central Plains long wave trough
progresses eastward.
Will not make any changes to going Heat Advisory products.
