Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 3:14 AM CDT, 45 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 314 AM CDT Sun Jun 21 2020 ...New LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (This evening through Sunday morning) Issued at 127 PM CDT Sat Jun 20 2020 POPS were diminished for today, especially in southeastern Oklahoma in the subsidence region of the MCV moving into SE OK this afternoon. Other than isolated showers, thunder and rain isn't expected until late this evening and early Sunday when moderate warm advection is expected to form from western TX into southwestern into a region of mass convergence. Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected from there toward central Oklahoma before sunrise. && .LONG TERM... (Monday through Saturday) Issued at 313 AM CDT Sun Jun 21 2020 An area of showers and thunderstorms is expected to be ongoing across portions of the area Monday morning. Showers and storms will remain possible Monday afternoon but chances will increase again Monday night into Tuesday morning. Some strong to severe storms will also be possible. NW flow aloft will continue to affect the area through at least the middle part of the week. Showers and storms will be possible during this time although where, when, if will be somewhat dependent on the previous day/night's convection and the affects on the region. However, in general, storms are expected to develop in the High Plains due to upslope flow and at least approach and possibly move into portions of the fa during the evening/overnight period. Additional storms could develop in the fa during the afternoon/early evening hours near any boundaries over the fa. Late in the week, models begin to shift the upper weather pattern with a trough moving across the central U.S. which will continue to bring a chance for showers/storms to portions of the fa. With the NW flow, clouds, and rain, temperatures are still expected to remain around or below average for this time of year into next weekend. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1046 PM CDT Sat Jun 20 2020 Widely scattered showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop overnight mainly south of I-40. Another area where storms may move into will be NW OK near WWR around 07Z but confidence is lower there, as storms moving out of KS may weaken before making it that far south. Since it appears coverage should remain below 50% for most of the night, have only included VCTS at many of the terminals. LAW and SPS may be amended later to include a tempo for TSRA. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
