Area forecast discussion, May 13, 6:11 PM CDT, 38 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
611 PM CDT Mon May 13 2019

.AVIATION...
00Z TAFs... Scattered thunderstorms are expected to continue
across parts of northwest and north-central Oklahoma through about
02z this evening but should mostly avoid the TAF sites with the
exception of KWWR. After these storms dissipate, expect VFR
conditions through the overnight and during the day tomorrow with
winds mainly from the south.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 246 PM CDT Mon May 13 2019/

DISCUSSION...
A few showers and thunderstorms have formed this afternoon along
an apparent warm front in northwest Oklahoma. Additional
development along and near the surface boundary seems probable
(the boundary extends from near Woodward to Guthrie to east-
central Oklahoma). The large dewpoint depressions in the far
northwest may help a few storms produce strong winds, while
marginally severe hail will be the main risk elsewhere. The storms
should diminish toward sunset.

The next significant weather feature is a large storm system that
is expected to approach the southern Plains on Friday. This
system will likely produce severe storms over parts of our
forecast area both Friday and Saturday. The higher risk will be in
the west on Friday, and over the entire region on Saturday. There
is still a lot of difference in the details according to the
models, but the overall pattern is supportive of severe storms and
very heavy rain...which probably will cause additional flooding
in areas that just dealt with flooding from previous storms...and
will prolong flooding on those rivers still above flood stage this
weekend.
