Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
605 PM CDT Mon Aug 26 2019
.DISCUSSION...
The August 27-28 00 UTC TAF discussion follows:
&&
.AVIATION...
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms may develop along
a cold front that will move southward through the evening hours.
Highest probability for convection is from KOKC/KOUN to the
northeast. Any thunderstorms that develop could be severe with
wind gusts over 50 knots.
Winds will shift from the south/southeast to the north/northeast
at all terminals as the front moves through tonight.
More widespread, post-frontal showers/storms are expected late
tonight into morning hours, once again in the vicinity of
KOKC/KOUN. Stratus with MVFR ceilings may develop late tonight as
well.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 245 PM CDT Mon Aug 26 2019/
DISCUSSION...
Very warm temperatures around 700mb (+15-18) will likely delay
and limit thunderstorm coverage late this afternoon/early evening,
despite a cold front moving into northern/western Oklahoma. In
fact, +15 @700mb at OUN this morning is a record for late August
according to the SPC sounding climatology page. With a fairly deep
frontal zone and some cooling over the northern half of Oklahoma,
scattered thunderstorms should form, especially across the
eastern half of the state. During the overnight and into Tuesday
morning, storms should continue to develop and build southward
with more coverage across the eastern 2/3rds of the area. During
this time, strong damaging winds and heavy rainfall totals will be
possible with the stronger cores. Hail is also possible.
Thunderstorm chances Tuesday into Wednesday will mainly be confined
to the southern half of Oklahoma and western north Texas. How far
south is tricky and will be somewhat dependent on thunderstorm
coverage tonight into Tuesday morning. Another mid level trough
may enhance lift across mainly far southern Oklahoma and western
north Texas Tuesday night into Wednesday morning. This may bring
much needed moisture to parts of southwest Oklahoma and northern
Texas.
Late Wednesday into Thursday, isolated showers and storms will be
possible with return flow. Shower and thunderstorm chances will
increase late Friday into Saturday as a cold front approaches/moves
into the area.
