Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
1047 AM CDT Thu Jun 15 2017

.UPDATE...
Adjusted thunderstorm chances through early this evening.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
Fairly complicated forecast today. This morning, an isolated
cluster of thunderstorms continues to slide south/southeast across
east central Oklahoma. This activity is elevated, primarily driven
by warm air advection around 925 to 850mb. This is noticable from
a response in the constant pressure fields, with a pocket of
isentropic ascent at 315 K. 12z sounding from KOUN reveals decent
MLCAPE around 2000 J/kg available. However, from Water Vapor
imagery, conditions appear fairly dry in the mid-levels, and wind
fields are not all that impressive currently. Hail reports with
this activity have been severe, with half dollar to quarters, but
given instability within the hail growth zone, and from radar
trends, stout cores, could not rule out some hail closer to ping
pong balls with this activity. Additionally, these storms have
proven to be efficient rainfall producers, with isolated heavy
rainfall. Mesoscale guidance continues to struggle with this
activity. From trends and conditions, this convection will likely
persist, moving southeast, slowly, through late morning into the
early afternoon.

This Afternoon, expect initial thunderstorm development to be
focused in two areas. The first will be in Kansas. With a surface
low centered over southwestern Kansas and the northern
Panhandles, a diffuse frontal boundary remains stalled southwest
to northeast across Kansas. Temperatures, through 10 AM are
already in the upper 70s and lower 80s in western/central Kansas,
with dew points in the mid 60s. SBCAPE values from the SPC
mesoanalysis page are already breaching 4000 J/kg over a wide area
within the warm sector. With a lack of upper level support, focus
and ascent will come from the surface/BL boundaries in place.
Given the weak large scale forcing, mesoscale guidance will
continue to struggle both spatially and temporally with
convection. The general consensus is for early to mid afternoon
initiation in Kansas, with initial convection establishing enough
of a cold pool to sustain new development as it builds east and
southeast through the afternoon and evening. Storms will pose a
large, damaging, hail and damaging wind gust threat as the initial
storms develop into a complex. Looking at 1000-500mb thicknesses
and forward propagation Corfidi vectors, it's likely the complex
will just skirt north central Oklahoma through the evening into
the overnight, from Grant to Kay, Noble and possibly Payne County.
Damaging winds and hail will be the concerns if the complex moves
in, along with isolated heavy rainfall that could lead to pockets
of flash flooding.

The second area of focus for thunderstorms this afternoon and
evening will be along the dry line, which is currently positioned
over the Panhandles back to east central New Mexico. Similar to
yesterday, impressive dew points are spread well on the Llano
Estacado and Trans Pecos, in the mid to upper 60s ahead of the dry
line. Naturally, focus for ascent will be on the dry line, with
initiation occuring sometime in the late afternoon. Scattered
storms along this boundary will move into western Oklahoma and
western north Texas in the early evening. Bufr profiles reveal
steep low and mid-level lapse rates along with MLCAPE values
nearing 2500 to 3000 J/Kg. Deep layer shear of 30 to 40 kts,
overall, will be sufficient for large hail development, similar
to yesterday and Tuesday. This activity will likely lessen in
intensity through the overnight as it pushes eastward, across
Oklahoma, but a hail and wind threat will persist with any
remaining convection overnight.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 547 AM CDT Thu Jun 15 2017/

DISCUSSION...
The June 15-16, 2017 12 UTC TAF discussion follows:

AVIATION...
Light southerly winds are expected to increase and become gusty
later this morning. This afternoon, isolated to scattered
thunderstorms may develop along a dryline across northwest
Oklahoma this afternoon. These thunderstorms could impact KWWR,
KGAG, and KCSM between 22-02 UTC; however, the probability
affecting a given terminal are too low to include in the TAFs.

Additional thunderstorms are expected to develop across Kansas.
These thunderstorms may coalesce into a complex of thunderstorms
that would move southeastward this evening. Greatest confidence
for impacts from the thunderstorms are across north central
Oklahoma, including KPNC. There is a lower chance, but these
storms may shift southward into central Oklahoma, impacting KOKC
and KOUN this evening. Any thunderstorms could be severe with the
threat of strong wind gusts, hail, and temporary restrictions in
visibility. Within any complex of storms, surface winds may
abruptly change direction to the north/northwest in association
with the leading gust front.

PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 333 AM CDT Thu Jun 15 2017/

DISCUSSION...
Primary forecast concern is the chance of showers/storms this
evening.

For this afternoon, isolated thunderstorms will be possible along
the dryline across the Texas panhandle. These storms could affect
western north Texas and adjacent parts of western Oklahoma late
afternoon/early evening. There is higher confidence that scattered
thunderstorms will develop across Kansas and perhaps far
northwest Oklahoma late afternoon as a mid-level shortwave trough
provides ascent for convection.

These thunderstorms are expected to grow upscale into a mesoscale
convective complex (MCS) that will propagate south-southeastward
toward higher low-level theta-e air this evening. Sufficient
elevated instability (MUCAPE >= 3000 J/kg) should allow the
complex to propagate into northern Oklahoma with a continued
threat of damaging wind gusts, hail, and heavy rainfall.

There is still some uncertainty on the southwestern extent of the
MCS track, but the consensus of convective-allowing models and
parameterized models indicate a continued westward shift from the
previous days' runs. The 15/00Z 3 KM NAM is very similar to
yesterday evening's run with the MCS affecting central Oklahoma
mid to late evening. Therefore, opted to increase the chance of
showers/storms north and east of a line from Alva, Oklahoma to
Oklahoma City to Shawnee.

For Friday and Saturday, a strengthening cap is expected as mid-
level temperatures warm (700 mb temperatures are progged to be
14-16C at 00Z Sat) and heights rise. This should preclude any
substantial deep, moist convection. Hot temperatures are expected
with Saturday still forecast to be the hottest day so far this
year. 850 mb temperatures are still progged to range from 25-31C
across the area, which should result in high temperatures in the
mid-90Fs to low 100Fs.

As a mid/upper-level trough amplifies across the Great Lakes, an
attendant cold front is expected to shift south Sunday with
cooler, near average temperatures in its wake. Showers/storms
will be possible along and perhaps behind the cold front. The
highest chance will be across southeast Oklahoma Sunday night.

Hot weather (with above-average temperatures) is expected to
return by the middle part of the week as the mid-level ridge
expands eastward into the Southern Plains.

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight...

.Thunderstorm Outlook...
There is an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms across portions
of northern Oklahoma. There is a slight risk of severe
thunderstorms across much of central and western Oklahoma and far
western north Texas.

Location...
the enhanced risk is located along and north of a line from
Buffalo to Woodward to Waukomis to north of Stillwater. A slight
risk surrounds the enhanced risk and is located north of a line
from Crowell, Texas to Elmer to near Fort Cobb to Purcell and
Holdenville, Oklahoma.

Timing...
The most likely time for severe weather will be from 4 PM to 1
AM.

Impacts...
Hail up to the size of tennis balls and wind gusts over 70 mph
will be possible.

Discussion...
Scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop late this
afternoon across portions of northern Oklahoma, and perhaps
southwestern Oklahoma, and then move south southeast. Large hail
will be possible with these storms mainly before 10 PM. A complex
of storms may then progress southward over portions of central
Oklahoma during the overnight hours. If a complex does develop,
damaging wind gusts, hail up to the size of golf balls, and
locally heavy rainfall will be the primary hazards after sunset.

.Heat...
Widespread heat indices from around 100 to 105 degrees are
expected late this afternoon. Be sure to drink plenty of water
and take frequent breaks when working or playing outside.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday...

.Thunderstorms...
Thunderstorm chances will return Saturday night across
northeastern Oklahoma, and continue Sunday into Monday across much
of Oklahoma and western north Texas. A few strong to severe
storms will be possible.

.Heat...
Widespread heat indices from around 101 to 108 degrees are
expected late Saturday afternoon. Be sure to drink plenty of
water and take frequent breaks when working or playing outside.
