Severe Thunderstorm Warning 340, NWS Norman, OK

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
244 PM CDT Mon May 20 2019

.DISCUSSION...

Widespread and significant severe weather is beginning across the
forecast area. These storms are working with an environment of high
shear and high instability which will promote the initation and
maintenance of long lived supercells. Extremely large hail, damaging
wind, and tornadoes are expected with these supercells. In addition
these threats and with precipitable water that is in the 75th
percentile, heavy rainfall and widespread flooding is also
anticipated.

A second wave of supercells and severe thunderstorms are expected to
initiate later this evening over northwest Texas and the Texas
panhandle and move eastward. As these move into Oklahoma and Western
North Texas, the storms are expected to undergo upscale development
and form a squall line. Large hail, damaging winds, and flooding
rainfall are expected with this line of storms. Due to the high
shear and the enhancement from the lower level jet, QLCS tornadoes
are possible with this squall line.

Storms are expected to exit the area Tuesday morning, with a
reprieve until Wednesday. Enhanced lower level moisture advection
along with the movement of a strong upper level cyclone into the
Arizona/Utah will result in a chance of precipitation in central
and northwest Oklahoma throughout the next of the week.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued Issued by National Weather Service Austin/San Antonio TX/

DISCUSSION...
The 18z aviation discussion follows...

AVIATION...
Numerous showers and thunderstorms continue mainly north of the warm
front that is draped across areas just north of I40. For the TAF
sites north of the boundary will prevail -TSRA for much of the valid
period as continued lift occurs to maintain convective development.
For the sites south of the boundary, the atmosphere is expected to
continue to destabilize throughout the afternoon leading to
scattered to numerous thunderstorms impacting the terminals in
the mid-late afternoon and evening hours. There could be a break
or two in the activity, but will prevail a mention of precip for
most of the period to better handle the threat for possible strong
to severe storms impacting the airports. IFR/MVFR ceilings and
visibility will be possible through the period with lowering
visibility and increases in winds possible with the stronger
convection. Will amend TAFs as necessary as activity develops this
afternoon and a higher confidence in timing materializes.
