Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
555 PM CDT Sat May 27 2017

.DISCUSSION...
The May 28-29, 2017 00 UTC TAF discussion follows:

&&

.AVIATION...
Generally expect VFR conditions to continue at most terminals
through the TAF period. A cold front continues to shift southward
this evening and has already passed through KGAG/KWWR/KPNC/KCSM.
The cold front will pass through all terminals tonight. As the
cold front shifts southward, thunderstorms could impact KOKC and
KOUN this evening. Any thunderstorms could be strong to severe
with gusty, erratic winds, large hail, and temporary ceiling
restrictions. Gusty northerly winds are expected behind the front,
especially late this evening and overnight.

There could be a brief period of MVFR ceilings behind the cold
front. Currently, greatest confidence for lowered ceilings is
across central Oklahoma (KOKC/KOUN) where TEMPOs were included
after midnight.

Northerly winds are expected to continue through the end of the
TAF period.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 236 PM CDT Sat May 27 2017/

DISCUSSION...
Complex weather scenario for this evening and tonight. Looking at
as many of the models as possible today, they all have a bit of a
different opinion on how things will play out.

It appears that most likely of these scenarios will be; we will
see some isolated convection develop, initially in our area near
or just ahead of dryline across south central Oklahoma in the 5 to
6 pm time frame. These storms will develop in an environment that
will be very unstable and will likely produce very large hail,
damaging winds and torrential rainfall. Also, a tornado risk will
exist, if a storm can either develop in an area of backed/stronger
surface winds, or with the extreme instability that exists, can
locally enhance the low level helicity/shear.

Elsewhere, storms may then try to develop south and west along an
advancing cold front from Missouri southwest along the I-44
corridor. Many of the models have difficulty in developing storms
as far west as central Oklahoma in the early evening hours.
However, by late evening, the models do develop storms along the
cold front across southern Oklahoma.

This would produce multiple rounds of heavy across parts of
southern Oklahoma, where they received heavy rain late last week.
Because of this possibility, will likely issue flood watch for
portions of south central and southeast Oklahoma overnight.

Some lingering activity will be possible Sunday morning across
southeast Oklahoma, but should clear the area soon enough to
result in a pleasant day Sunday and this will continue on Memorial
day Monday.

Throughout much of the upcoming week we see weak waves make their
way through the southern Plains, which bring/continue rain
chances across the area. Some risk of severe may exist from day to
day, but expect it to remain on the lower/marginal category.

1238 PM CDT Sat May 27 2017

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

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight...

.Thunderstorms...
There is a risk of severe storms across portions of Oklahoma and
north Texas.

Location...
An enhanced risk is along and east of a line from Ponca City to
Yukon to Ardmore Oklahoma. A slight risk resides east of a line
from Wakita to east of Hinton to Lawton to Wichita Falls Texas,
up to the enhanced risk.

Timing...
The most likely time for severe storms will be from 4 PM to 4 AM.

Impacts...
Large, damaging hail, up to the size of softballs, and damaging
winds to 80 mph will be the primary concerns. There is a medium
risk for tornadoes with the early, isolated, activity that may
develop along the dry line in south central Oklahoma.

Discussion...
A dry line will continue to develop across portions of central
and southwest Oklahoma and western north Texas. Enough lift may
exist to overcome a strong cap leading to isolated to scattered
storms developing near the dry line late this afternoon and
evening. If these storms develop, they will likely become severe
with large, damaging, hail, possibly approaching the size of
Softballs, and damaging winds up to 70 mph. There will also be a
low chance for tornadoes with these storms since they will be more
likely to stay discrete.

There is also a chance of storms this evening and overnight near
a cold front that will move across the area. These storms would be
more widespread and are expected to develop into one or more line
segments. Some of these storms could also become severe producing
large hail up to the size of golf balls and damaging wind gusts
to 80 mph. The potential for tornadoes will be lower with the
line of storms.

Thunderstorms will remain possible across parts of the area into
Sunday.

.SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT...

Storm spotter groups and emergency management personnel across the
risk areas should prepare for severe weather operations late this
afternoon into tonight.

.Heat...
Heat index values of 103 to 109 will be possible today across
portions of central and south central Oklahoma, and western north
Texas. If you are going to be outdoors, take steps to prevent heat
related illnesses.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday...

.Thunderstorms...
A few strong to severe storms will remain possible Sunday morning
in parts of south central and southeast Oklahoma, mainly southeast
of a line from Centrahoma to Ardmore Oklahoma.

Thunderstorm chances will return to parts of the area Monday night
and continue through the rest of next week.
