Area forecast discussion, Aug 10, 2:29 PM CDT, 2 hours 29 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 229 PM CDT Thu Aug 10 2017 .DISCUSSION... Will keep this short as strong storms are already ongoing. In the broad sense, it is likely that we will experience a couple of rounds of thunderstorms today and overnight. But the specifics are still a little in question. The current storms in northwest Oklahoma have lost a little punch as they moved in from the Oklahoma panhandle. But they are moving into an area of much higher surface based CAPE, so we expect some regeneration. Meanwhile, additional storms are in the process of developing in western Kansas, which may evolve into the main show tonight. And now the last few runs of the HRRR have also been signaling the possibility of storms in the southwest this evening as well. Will not get too tricky on timing but have kept broad high POPs across much of the area, and expanded them farther south with the HRRR trends. Meanwhile, it appears we will remain in a relatively active pattern with west-northwest flow aloft and waves moving into the upper Midwest and the northern and central Plains. Highest rain chances will be northeast, while still generally drier and warmer southwest. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
