Area forecast discussion, Jun 21, 4:51 AM CDT, 1 hour 23 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 451 AM CDT Sun Jun 21 2020 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 434 AM CDT Sun Jun 21 2020 Scattered storms this morning will persist and slowly move east across southern Oklahoma this morning and be capable of producing widely scattered severe storms and locally heavy rainfall. Storms in northwest Oklahoma may also persist for a while this morning, but these storms are expected to weaken more quickly. Although there is some potential for severe weather this morning, the main risk will be late this afternoon and this evening as storms develop and move into northern Oklahoma and spread south and southeast. Atmospheric parameters will be in place to support severe thunderstorms late this afternoon and this evening. Low- level shear improves as low-level jet develops with 1 km shear increasing to 30 to 40 knots by 03Z. The day one outlook by the SPC covers the potential evolution well. && .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... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 448 AM CDT Sun Jun 21 2020 Showers/storms will affect some TAF sites this morning. Additional storms are expected to develop later this afternoon and move across parts of the area this evening and overnight. Some of the storms could produce strong and variable winds. MVFR/VFR ceilings are expected. Winds will shift with any outflow boundaries. Otherwise, winds will generally be from the S and SE this TAF period. TAFs will be adjusted to current trends before being sent. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
