Area forecast discussion, Aug 9, 8:12 PM CDT, 2 hours 28 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion...UPDATED National Weather Service Norman OK 812 PM CDT Wed Aug 9 2017 .UPDATE... Area of showers/storms in N OK and S KS is expected to continue to move SE across portions of the area this evening. Increased PoPs to account for this activity. A few of the storms in N OK could be strong to severe. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 634 PM CDT Wed Aug 9 2017/ AVIATION... 0Z TAFs - Several rounds of scattered showers/storms are possible across portions of the area during this TAF period with the highest chances in northern Oklahoma. Chances are currently too low at some sites for mention in TAF. Gusty winds and heavy rain will be possible with the storms. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 347 PM CDT Wed Aug 9 2017/ DISCUSSION... Thunderstorms persist over northern Oklahoma and will continue into the early evening. This is the first of what may be at least two waves of storms. HRRR suggests the possibility of another round of storms moving into northwest Oklahoma this evening, although other models aren't as aggressive with this. Then there is a higher chance of storms in the morning hours with storms moving in from Colorado and/or western Kansas. An even higher chance of storms returns late tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow evening as a storm complex is expected to develop in southern Kansas or near the Oklahoma border and moving south/southeast through the area with the highest precipitation chances northeast. With the surface boundary lurking north of the area, west- northwest flow aloft, and various shortwaves moving into the upper Midwest and central Plains, it looks like we will be in a pattern of multiple rounds of convection over the next few days with storm complexes moving into Oklahoma from the north. It is still tricky to determine specific geography too far in advance, but we do appear to be in a wet pattern, especially by August standards. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
