.DISCUSSION...
Update...
Small cluster of storms over southwest/central Oklahoma will
continue north and northeast through the early evening. Main
hazard will be damaging winds with some hail. Storms may move
north and east of the FA by early evening with other storms
moving into northern/western Oklahoma during the late evening
and overnight.
A remnant area of precipitation over western Texas will aid the
development of at least widely scattered, deep convection this
afternoon and evening. Strong heating may also result in other
isolated storms. Initial development has already occurred over
western north Texas early this afternoon. Additional storms will
continue to form north and east of a small cluster west of
Wichita Falls. Deep layer shear will not be too strong, but
moderate instability will support the potential for strong
damaging winds and some hail. Some of the storms will also produce
locally heavy rainfall.
Additional storms will be possible overnight, as a shortwave
trough moves across the central and northern Plains. Better
coverage will likely be over Kansas, but enough storm
organization may allow storms to move into at least northern and
perhaps central Oklahoma with a strengthening low level jet. An
outflow boundary/weak cold front should bring a brief return of
north to northeast winds as far south as Interstate 40 (perhaps
farther south 12z NAM12).
Thunderstorms may linger through mid to late Sunday morning, with
additional storms possible during peak heating in southern and
central Oklahoma.
With the exception of an isolated afternoon/early evening thunderstorms,
most of Monday and Tuesday should be hot and dry. An easterly
wave may increase chances on Wednesday, but the majority of
showers and storms should be across eastern and southern Texas.
The "dominant ridge" wording may be required by the end of next week
with a 599 dam high centered over the central plains. Storm
chances with this pattern will be confined to southern Oklahoma
and northern Texas.
With the potential of slightly cooler temperatures on Sunday and
an outflow boundary, the Heat Advisory will not be extended into
Sunday.
