Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 10:27 PM CDT, 2 hours 59 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 1027 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017 .DISCUSSION... Aviation discussion for the 06 UTC TAFs is below. && .AVIATION... VFR conditions are generally expected. Chances of SHRA/TSRA remain too low to include at any TAF site in the next 24 hours. Brief MVFR conditions or lower along with variable gusty surface winds would be possible with any SHRA/TSRA. Patches of MVFR conditions may occur at many sites 09-18 UTC. Surface winds will remain gusty at some sites. A weak surface front will bring a wind shift to the north across northwestern Oklahoma sometime after 13 UTC. Otherwise, a mainly southerly surface wind can be expected. MBS && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 843 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017/ UPDATE... Adjusted rain chances this evening, mainly to lower them slightly across western Oklahoma and far western north Texas. Added 20% chances of showers and thunderstorms north of I-40 after midnight tonight. Made small adjustments to hourly elements tonight. DISCUSSION... Severe potential is quickly winding down tonight. Warm and muggy conditions will continue tonight. Showers and storms have overall been weakening across far western Oklahoma over the past hour due to the loss of daytime heating as well as the storms moving east into an area with stronger capping with higher amounts of MLCIN. Think this trend will generally continue this evening, though cannot rule out a stray strong/severe storm with hail/gusty winds for the next few hours in far western Oklahoma. After midnight tonight, added 20% chance for showers and thunderstorms over the northern half of Oklahoma as latest HRRR and NAM12 runs have been depicting some possible redevelopment of elevated storms in these areas, possibly due to an increasing low level jet. If these storms do occur, chances of severe remain low, though small hail, gusty winds, and brief downpours could be possible. Not confident this storm development will occur. Products will be updated shortly. MBS PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 253 PM CDT Tue Jun 13 2017/ DISCUSSION... Main concern for this forecast is the chance for thunderstorms across western Oklahoma and western north Texas tonight. There's a consistent signal for convection developing along the dryline in the panhandles. The questions are how extensive the coverage will be, how far north the line will stretch where instability starts to drop off, and how far east the line will make it. Most of the CAMs have storms dying off within one to two counties of the Oklahoma Texas border, so while coverage may initially be fairly extensive, it is expected to drop off pretty quickly upon entering our CWA. There is a potential for severe hail and winds with some of these storms. Beyond tonight, a upper level ridge slowly builds into the area, keeping rain chances down and allowing temperatures to rise. By Friday and Saturday, western Oklahoma will likely see some 100s. Most days maintain a slight chance for rain across some portion of the area as a few shortwaves make their way through the area. Sunday, a cold front is set to come through bringing cooler temperatures and a better chance for rain. Day && .OUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OK...None. TX...None. && 17
