Area forecast discussion, Mar 23, 6:27 PM CDT, 2 hours 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 627 PM CDT Sat Mar 23 2019 .DISCUSSION... The 00Z aviation discussion follows.... && .AVIATION... A chaotic surface pattern will result in highly variable wind directions this evening and overnight. At most sites, winds should be fairly light after 00Z, except in/near thunderstorms. A front will pass through Oklahoma and north Texas early Sunday, switching winds to northerly for the rest of the day. Storms will be possible over southeast Oklahoma Sunday afternoon/evening, but these storms should be east of our TAF sites (with the possible exception of KSPS). CmS && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 228 PM CDT Sat Mar 23 2019/ DISCUSSION... Additional scattered thunderstorms will be possible late this afternoon and evening. Some of the CAMs show that these storms could develop in parts of central OK and move across portions of the fa. Some of these storms could become severe with good deep layer wind shear and some instability. However, the impacts and extent of recovery from this morning's activity leads to some uncertainty of location and extent of storm development. Large hail and strong wind gusts are the primary concerns with the severe storms, although there is also a very low potential and short window for a tornado, especially in any areas where there is some localized backing of sfc winds which could enhance low-level shear. It looks like the potential for severe storms will end later this evening, even though showers/storms will remain possible overnight for areas, mainly near and east of I-35. Models show a cold front moving across the area Sunday. The front along with a shortwave moving across the region could lead to additional showers/storms Sunday, especially when the front moves into SE portions of the fa where better moisture is expected. A few severe storms will be possible again Sunday afternoon/evening in SE portions of the fa before the storms move out of the fa later Sunday evening/overnight. Forecast will remain dry for at least the first half of the work week before the upper ridge begins to shift east of the area as upper trough develops over the western U.S. Models differ as to the evolution/strength/timing of this upper system as it approaches and moves across the region. This will have an impact on the timing and location of any rain for the latter half of the week into next weekend. With that in mind, there is currently low confidence in the PoP forecast for portions of the extended forecast. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
