.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Wednesday)
Issued at 213 PM CDT Tue Apr 21 2020

Satellite imagery is beginning to show signs of lift now increasing
ahead of an initial mid level shortwave trough that will move out of
the TX panhandle late this afternoon through tonight. Convective
initiation should occur somewhere within the next hour or two near
NW OK and the northern TX panhandle. A few storms may also try to
develop on the southern flank of the mid level moisture moisture
plume extending from NW OK into ESE OK into this evening. Some
cumulus are now evident in vis imagery within this plume. The most
likely scenario still appears to be a small cluster of storms coming
off the high plains and tracking eastward across northern OK, with 1-
2 discrete elevated supercells south of it moving into portions of
central OK late tonight. Steep lapse rates within the hail growth
zone could support around a 3-6 hour window of very large hail
within the supercells.

As the first, smaller cluster of storms moves out of our area and
dissipates to the east late tonight/early Wed AM, the main mid level
vort max will begin to move in from the west. Therefore, expect more
widespread convection to begin around 12-15Z Wed especially along
and north of I-40 as mid to upper ascent overspreads the region.
These elevated storms will still have the potential to produce large
hail up to the size of golf balls or larger near and just after
sunrise. At the surface, a surface low will near the I-35 corridor
around 18-21Z Wed, with an associated dryline and Pacific front.
Instability should have the chance to ramp up ahead of these
features early tomorrow afternoon within the warm sector over the
SE 1/4 of OK. Surface based supercells will be possible within the
aforementioned area Wed afternoon, with all severe weather threats
possible into early Wed evening.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Wednesday night through next Monday)
Issued at 213 PM CDT Tue Apr 21 2020

Showers and thunderstorms and the potential for severe storms are
expected to end Wednesday evening. Another round of showers and
thunderstorms will then be possible Thursday night into Friday as a
shortwave moves across the central/southern Plains and a cold front
moves across the area.

Models show NW flow will develop aloft over the region next week.
Models also show another front moving across the area early next
week, although there are some differences in timing. Some showers
and thunderstorms could be possible with this boundary.

Temperatures are expected to remain generally below but near the
average mark into this weekend, with the coolest day expected to be
Friday. Warmer temperatures, above average, will then be possible
early next week.

&&

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 103 AM CDT Wed Apr 22 2020

Timing of thunderstorms and association impacts to TAF sites is a
bit uncertain and so our time windows for VCTS and prevailing TSRA
are broad. Aside from ongoing thunderstorm cluster in south-
central Oklahoma and weaker storms further north to just east of
OKC metro, coverage should be limited the next few hours. As large
scale ascent increases, storm coverage will increase across much
of the area. One wave will develop in the predawn areas and expand
and move east through midday impacting several of the TAF sites.
Additional showers and storms are possible within a band behind
the departing system across western Oklahoma. Periods of MVFR
stratus in moist low level flow regime will continue through much
of the morning at least.

This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of northern...
western...central...and southern Oklahoma...and western north
Texas.

.DAY ONE...Through Tonight...

.Thunderstorms...
Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to continue this
evening and overnight, especially across western into central
Oklahoma. Large hail up to the size of baseballs is the primary
hazard. Wind gusts of 60 to 70 mph are also possible.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday...

.Thunderstorms...
Thunderstorms will continue to be possible through the day
Wednesday. Some strong to severe thunderstorms, primarily with a
large hail up to the size of golf balls and damaging wind threat,
could occur during the morning hours across any portion of the
area.

By Wednesday afternoon, the severe storm threat will continue to
progress eastward but is not expected to exit the area until
evening. Storm intensity could be higher during the afternoon and
evening hours, especially near and east of I-35 and south of I-44.
The primary threats during the afternoon will continue to be
large hail up to the size of baseballs and damaging winds.
However, there is also a potential for some tornadoes, especially
in areas southeast of a Seminole and Pauls Valley, to Marietta
Oklahoma line. There are some uncertainties with the afternoon
and evening activity due to effects from the storms later tonight
into Wednesday morning so check for the latest information.

Thunderstorms will also be possible Thursday night into Friday.
The chance of severe weather with this activity looks to be low.
