Area forecast discussion, Apr 16, 9:16 PM CDT, 55 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 916 PM CDT Sun Apr 16 2017 .DISCUSSION... Scattered storms over northern and western Oklahoma are expected to slowly diminish, but not completely disappear. Storms from the Texas panhandle are not likely to move as far east as western Oklahoma. The forecast was significantly updated to account for an anticipated MCS that the HRRR has consistently forecast for central and southeast Oklahoma around and beyond sunrise Monday. Pops were adjusted through noon Monday. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

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.
