Area forecast discussion, Jul 3, 5:58 PM CDT, 3 hours 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 558 PM CDT Mon Jul 3 2017 .DISCUSSION... The July 4-5, 2017 00 UTC TAF discussion follows: && .AVIATION... Severe thunderstorms across northwest Oklahoma are expected to consolidate into a complex and shift southeastward through this evening into the early morning hours. Very gusty winds (>50 knots in the strongest storms), hail, and reduced visibility will be possible as the complex passes by from northwest to southeast. A period of MVFR conditions will be possible behind the complex, though confidence is too low to include in TAFS. Otherwise, expect somewhat variable winds behind the complex to become predominantly southerly by tomorrow morning. Additional thunderstorms could develop tomorrow afternoon, but the probability of affecting a given terminal is too low to include in the TAFs. Mahale && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 302 PM CDT Mon Jul 3 2017/ DISCUSSION... As discussed with the update earlier, there is a strong signal for a convective complex developing this afternoon northwest, and sweeping southeast through the area this afternoon through early Tuesday morning. And with this is the high probability of damaging winds and heavy rainfall, and will explicitly mention these possibilities in the zones tonight. With this evolution now expected, this shifts the focus for storms tomorrow more to the south closer to any remnant surface boundary, although a lot will depend on what specifically happens overnight. The base of the upper trough across the Midwest is progged to continue to poke into Oklahoma Wednesday which could help support scattered thunderstorms. Upper ridge strengthens in the Rockies and the High Plains later this week which will reduce precipitation chances Thursday and Friday, but then we will start again with precipitation chances of late storms moving off the central High Plains into northeastern sections of the area. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

There is a Enhanced Risk of severe thunderstorms this afternoon and tonight across parts of central and western Oklahoma and a small part of western north Texas. .Location... The Enhanced risk encompasses an area from from Freedom and Cherokee, to Guthrie, to Norman, to Duncan, Electra and Quanah Texas, to Hollis, Arnett and Fort Supply. A Slight risk surrounds the Enhanced risk and includes areas north of a line from Calvin, to Marietta Oklahoma to Henrietta, Seymour and Benjamin Texas. A Marginal risk includes the remainder of southern Oklahoma and western north Texas. .Timing... Through 1 am. .Impacts... Winds up to 80 mph. Hail up to the size of Tennis balls. Flooding rain. .Discussion... Scattered thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon across many parts of Oklahoma and western north Texas. A few of these storms may approach severe levels with small hail and gusty winds, as well as brief heavy rain. Otherwise, a more organized area of showers and thunderstorms is expected to develop across southwest Kansas into far northwest Oklahoma. This complex of storms is then expected to move east and southeast during the late afternoon and evening hours, impacting much of Oklahoma and western north Texas. Damaging straight line winds will be the main threat, with large hail and heavy rainfall also possible, especially across the enhanced and slight risk areas. .SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT... Storm spotter groups and emergency management personnel across the risk areas should prepare for severe weather operations this afternoon and evening. .Heavy rain... Torrential rain will be likely with many of the storms through tonight. Flooding may occur in areas with poor drainage, or where heavy rain fell on Sunday or Sunday night. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Tuesday through Sunday... .Thunderstorms... There will be a chance of thunderstorms each day except Friday. Severe storms will be possible over northern and central Oklahoma Tuesday and Wednesday. .Heavy rain...
