Area forecast discussion, Jun 15, 4:19 AM CDT, 2 hours 5 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 419 AM CDT Sat Jun 15 2019 .DISCUSSION... Showers and thunderstorms have developed as far south as the OKC metro early this morning behind two outflow boundaries, thanks to a fairly stout LLJ over central OK. A few strong storms are also persisting over northern OK. Most of this activity should wane near and just after sunrise. A few showers and thunderstorms can't be completely ruled out along the outflow boundaries by late this afternoon so have included a corridor of SChc over central OK for this reason. Late this afternoon through this evening, moist convection is expected to develop near the intersection of a stationary boundary and dryline across portions of the southern TX panhandle, and then move into SW OK and western north TX. Steep mid level lapse rates and sufficient deep layer shear will support another threat of large hail and then damaging winds through the overnight hours likely near and just north of the Red River. A mid level shortwave trough will also result in increasing coverage through the overnight hours from central to northern OK. By early Sunday morning, most of the region should have ongoing moist convection present. Flooding may become a concern with slower storm motions anticipated, specifically over north central OK. The flood threat will continue into Sunday evening and early Monday morning, especially along and south of I-40 with a stationary boundary draped over the region, another LLJ developing, and the slow progression of a mid to upper trough axis. A flood watch may eventually be needed. This flood threat will include the OKC metro. Likely PoPs will linger across SE OK through Monday. The wet pattern will continue through the week as several additional shortwave troughs impact the central and southern plains. After Monday morning, another round of significant rainfall is expected late Tue into Wed. Stronger mid to upper flow may also support severe weather in addition to flooding rainfall. A brief break in rain chances will arrive Thu, but then return next weekend with SW flow aloft impacting the Southern Plains. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
