Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 1050 PM CDT Mon Jun 4 2018 .DISCUSSION... Aviation discussion for the 06 UTC TAFs is below. && .AVIATION... Generally VFR conditions are expected to continue. Confidence is increasing that MVFR/IFR conditions will occur 08-14 UTC in western Oklahoma. Plan to add mention at KCSM and KWWR. These conditions may linger as long as 18 UTC in these areas. Will not not mention due to low confidence of occurrence at other sites. Plan to go with VCSH/VCTS at KOKC and KOUN before 13 UTC where confidence of occurrence is moderate to high. Brief variable gusty winds and MVFR or lower conditions are possible if TSRA affects KOKC and KOUN. Otherwise, confidence of occurrence of -TSRA/-SHRA is too low to mention. MBS && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 710 PM CDT Mon Jun 4 2018/ ..Update... DISCUSSION... Subsidence behind departing remnant MCS/MCV has prevented convective development this afternoon. 00z OUN sounding shows deep warm layer and significant CIN to prevent surfaced based convection. Some mid-level clouds have increased within a band from south- central Kansas into central Oklahoma early this evening in response to shortwave trough that will quickly pass through. But, most if not all of the convection that forms tonight should be late (after midnight) across southern and central Oklahoma. This is where weak mid-level ascent/moistening will be focused in response to second PV anomaly within northwest flow aloft that will pass just to our northeast. Development/coverage is conditional on how much moistening can occur within isentropic ascent regime. But given current short term model depictions, it seems plausible that at least some convection will form in the vicinity of I-35 across roughly the southern half of the state during the predawn hours. Veering wind profile with height will result in ~40 knots effective shear in a modestly unstable environment (MUCAPE 1,000-1,500 J/kg) which could support storms with small hail, and perhaps a low-end marginally severe hail/wind threat late tonight. BRB PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 232 PM CDT Mon Jun 4 2018/ DISCUSSION... Showers associated from MCV from the morning convection will continue to affect portions of southern OK the rest of this afternoon as the MCV moves east along the Red River. There is still some uncertainty for if/where additional storms will develop this afternoon and early evening due to the effects of the earlier convection. Some isolated to widely scattered storms could still develop this afternoon and early evening. A few of these storms may become strong/severe. It still looks like the greatest potential for more scattered to widespread storms will be later this evening into Tuesday morning as a shortwave moves southeast across Oklahoma. These storms are expected to develop later this evening in parts of central OK. Models then show these storms moving south or southeast as a MCS across portions of southern OK and north TX. Some of these storms could become strong to severe with large hail and strong winds. A disturbance moving across the Central/Northern Plains may bring a chance for showers/storms to parts of northern Oklahoma Wednesday night. The majority of the rain is expected to remain north in Kansas but some activity could build south into the fa. What happens the rest of the week into the weekend in terms of whether there will be any rain or not for parts of the area will depend on where the center of the ridge decides to set up and how strong said ridge will be. Models continue to differ from run to run with the axis either just west of the area or the center of the upper high sitting over the Southern Plains. If the ridge remains just west and/or isn't very strong, small disturbances moving in the flow could bring off and on chances for showers/storms to parts of the fa, but if the center of the high builds into the Southern Plains this would be less likely. Either way, many locations will likely remain dry the end of this week into the weekend. With the uncertainty if and when these small weak disturbances may affect the fa will leave PoPs out of the forecast after Wednesday night for now and see if there becomes more consistency with any one disturbance. The influence of the ridge no matter its position will cause temperatures to warm back into the 90s and triple digits by the latter half of this week. Triple digit heat index values will also be possible this week. && .OUN WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OK...None. TX...None. && 16/17
