Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
242 PM CDT Sun Apr 16 2017

.DISCUSSION...
The main forecast challenges are severe thunderstorm and heavy
rainfall/flooding potential now through Monday evening.

No significant changes were made to the previous forecast.

Pinpointing where and when storms occur for the rest of this
afternoon through Monday remains very challenging. With
abundant/near record values of available moisture (surface
dewpoints in the 60s and precipitable water values generally
1-1.5" which are in the 90th percentile or higher for this time of
year), heavy rainfall and localized flooding remain possible with
any storm. There is some severe potential as well due to
sufficient shear and moderate to fairly high values of potential
instability (1000-3500 J/kg).

At 230 pm, A few storms were forming in southern Oklahoma near
Waurika and Pauls Valley where a maximum of precipitable water
values around 1.5" was occurring and lift generated from a
mid/upper disturbance over central Texas. This activity is
expected to grow upscale and move northeast over the next several
hours. Some large hail and perhaps damaging wind reports are
possible with this activity as well as heavy rainfall, though this
activity may stay somewhat unorganized due to marginal shear
values (0-6 km bulk shear values 20-30 kt). Tornado potential
remains very low due to marginal 0-1 km shear generally 10-15 kt,
though will have to closely monitor as these values may increase
to near 20-25 kt by 9 pm this evening across central and southern
Oklahoma, especially as low level moisture will be quite high with
low lifted condensation levels under 3000 ft AGL.

There are two other areas to monitor for storm formation in the
next few hours include 1) convergence along the effective cold
front in far northern Oklahoma to southern Kansas (somewhere near
a Woodward OK to Wichita KS line) and 2) convergence along a
dryline/surface pressure trough over west Texas (somewhere near a
Canadian TX to Snyder TX line). Storms seem to be more likely to
form near the effective front where capping is weakest. Fewer
storms are expected near the dryline. The environment supports
high precipitation supercells/multicells (0-6 km shear values
25-40 kt). Large hail, possibly very large and bigger than golf
balls, would be the main hazard with first supercells, then
possibly transition into damaging winds as storms become clusters
and/or lines as they move southeast. These storms appear to have
a greater potential to be severe compared to the current storms in
southern Oklahoma. Tornado potential still appear to be very low
due to weak low level shear (0-1 km shear generally below 20 kt),
but is not zero due to abundant low level moisture.

After 10 pm this evening, one or more clusters of lines from the
activity mentioned above (as depicted by the HRRR/ARW/NMM models)
may still be ongoing, moving southeast generally, with a
decreasing threat for severe weather. Heavy rainfall and flash
flooding may be the greater concern. Some areas may not receive
any rainfall. Patchy fog mention was added in northwestern
Oklahoma where confidence of occurrence is moderate.

On Monday and Monday evening, showers and storms may linger
across the area, mainly southeastern Oklahoma, during the morning.
Additional storm development is possible during the afternoon and
evening, though storm coverage is expected to be lower compared
to tonight. Locally heavy rainfall will be a concern, especially
due to slow storm motions. Weaker wind shear should allow for
lower chance for severe thunderstorms.

Late Monday night through Wednesday afternoon, stronger capping
and slightly drier mid/upper level air moving in should limit rain
chances. Some fog development may occur late Monday night into
Tuesday morning.

Wednesday night into early Thursday, additional strong to severe
thunderstorms may skirt the northern half of Oklahoma along an
approaching cold front due to increasing wind shear and some
instability. Locally heavy rainfall may be possible.

Thursday night through early Saturday, more wet and stormy weather
appears likely as moisture and lift increases ahead of a stronger
mid/upper level system. Heavy rainfall may be the greater impact,
though strong wind shear and sufficient instability may support
severe thunderstorms. Exact impacts remain uncertain.

Late Saturday into Sunday, quieter, drier, and cooler weather
are forecast.

1159 AM CDT Sun Apr 16 2017

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of northern...
western...central...and southern Oklahoma...and western north
Texas.

.DAY ONE...Through Tonight...

.Thunderstorms...
There is a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms late this afternoon
into the evening from far western north Texas to central and
northeastern Oklahoma.

Location...
The Slight Risk exists north of a line from near Knox City,
Texas, to Lawton, Oklahoma, to Norman, and to Chandler. A Marginal
Risk covers the rest of the Oklahoma and western north Texas.

Timing...
The most likely time for severe storms will be from 5 pm to
midnight.

Impacts...
Hail up to the size of tennis balls and wind gusts to 70 mph. The
tornado risk is very low.

Discussion...
Later this afternoon into the evening, isolated to scattered
thunderstorms are expected to develop near a triple point in the
eastern Texas panhandle. These thunderstorms may consolidate into
a complex that may affect parts of western Oklahoma and adjacent
north Texas. Another complex of thunderstorms may develop along a
boundary in north central Oklahoma and shift southward into
central Oklahoma. In addition, scattered thunderstorms may
develop in southern and southeastern Oklahoma late afternoon in
the warm sector.

.Spotter and emergency management statement...
Storm spotter groups and emergency management personnel across
the risk areas should prepare for possible severe weather
operations through the late afternoon and evening, especially
those within the Slight Risk area.

.Heavy Rainfall...
Slow-moving thunderstorms may result in locally heavy rainfall.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday...

.Thunderstorms...
Thunderstorms will linger across portions of the region through
Monday. Thunderstorm chances will return on Wednesday night into
Friday. Severe thunderstorms will be possible Wednesday night,
primarily across north central Oklahoma. Severe thunderstorms
will be possible again on Friday.

.Heavy Rainfall...
Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms through the week may
result in significant rainfall totals for portions of the region.
At this time, the heaviest bouts of rainfall will occur at the end
of the week and across the northern half of Oklahoma. This,
combined with recent rainfall, and the chance of strong
thunderstorms, may result in increasing flooding concerns late in
the week.
