Area forecast discussion, Sep 20, 6:41 PM CDT, 1 hour 12 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 641 PM CDT Fri Sep 20 2019 .DISCUSSION... && .AVIATION... Thunderstorms will affect OKC and OUN TAFs into mid-evening and SPS and LAW later this evening. Most of the thunder may abate overnight, but ceilings at MVFR conditions will be scattered. South winds will be gusty in western Oklahoma Saturday thunderstorms chances increase in western and northern Oklahoma later Saturday afternoon. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 254 PM CDT Fri Sep 20 2019/ DISCUSSION... With the exception of one decent rain event, the first three weeks of September 2019 have been dry with above average temperatures. Rain and thunderstorm chances will certainly improve as a western trough translates eastward through this weekend. PW's will remain near the max moving average (SPC sounding climo page), so there is a concern of heavy rainfall and flooding over the next 48-60 hours. Southwest flow will increase across the Panhandles and western Oklahoma today, as part of the western trough moves northeast across the Rockies and northern Plains. At least scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop over western/northern Texas through the afternoon/evening with a general movement to the northeast. Additional storms are also expected across western Texas. Heavy rainfall and gusty winds will be the main concerns with the stronger storms this afternoon/tonight. Showers and storms across south central and southeast Oklahoma will certainly pose a risk of heavy rainfall with torrential downpours. Perhaps after this evening, this area will be influenced more by an upper ridge to our east. As the western trough continues east over the weekend, rain chances will remain relatively high. For Saturday, higher chances will be across western and northern Oklahoma and western north Texas. Perhaps a better connection to tropical Pacific moisture will occur with an embedded wave. A cold front will also begin to move closer to northern Oklahoma. Frontal precipitation will mainly impact areas to our north during the day Saturday. However, Saturday night into Sunday chances will increase as the front/outflow moves into northern Oklahoma. Again, heavy rainfall and flooding will be a concern. Somewhat drier air is expected to move into at least the northwest 1/2 of the state Sunday afternoon into early Monday. This combined with weak shortwave ridging may bring a period of mainly dry weather. Another trough will begin the approach the area by Tuesday. Return flow ahead of this feature will likely result in at least widely scattered showers and storms. How quickly east the next trough will move is somewhat uncertain. Therefore will keep rain chances fairly low at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
