Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
617 PM CDT Fri May 15 2020

...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Saturday)
Issued at 228 PM CDT Fri May 15 2020

The outflow boundary/front across south-central Oklahoma, and
back northwest into west-central Oklahoma around mid-afternoon
will likely continue its southwestward progress, although probably
with less enthusiasm in the west. The storms forming behind the
front will continue to reinforce its southward movement in the
area east of I-44. This boundary's location will have major
implications on severe weather and flooding probabilities this
evening. The deeper into the cooler air, the lower the risk of
major severe weather...and flooding will be mainly near and up to
about 50 miles north of the boundary (although the risk of
flooding may expand late this evening, as storms become less
reliant on surface conditions).

We currently expect the majority of the rain and severe weather to
be over the southern half of our forecast area this evening (high
rain chances will continue through the night in the south). With
slow movement of the storms, and heavy rainfall from many of the
storms, there will be a risk of flooding. We are continuing the
existing Flood Watch.

Another cold front is expected to move into Oklahoma tomorrow,
joining an MCV that is likely to be over southern Oklahoma during
the day. This will support disorganized shower and thunderstorm
development over much of Oklahoma/north Texas, although by
afternoon, I-35 will divide the "likely" area (to the east of
I-35) from the "chance" area (to the west). Instability east of
I-35 may support a few strong storms, but organized severe storms
are not currently expected.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Saturday night through next Thursday)
Issued at 228 PM CDT Fri May 15 2020

Showers/thunderstorms will be decreasing from the northwest
Saturday evening into early Sunday, as an upper-level circulation
departs to the south/southeast. This will leave Oklahoma and north
Texas under upper-level ridging, which will be reinforced by an
omega pattern early in the week.

Medium-range models are still a bit offset from each other
regarding the ridge axis location around midweek. For now, we have
a mild and dry (no rain) forecast for next week. If the ridge
shifts east more than currently expected, rain chances and
temperatures will both go up.

&&

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 613 PM CDT Fri May 15 2020

A thunderstorm complex over Oklahoma and Texas will cause chaotic
weather, including a few severe thunderstorms, across the area
this evening. Highly variable winds, ceilings, and visibilities
are to be expected, particularly south of KCSM-KOKC through at
least 05Z. Farther north, winds will be affected by outflow from
the storm complex.

It is unclear whether there will be BR/fog early Saturday, but
with the cloud cover from the storms, and little or no rainfall
near the edges of the cloud shield, BR/fog seems unlikely.

There will be a few scattered showers, perhaps thunderstorms, on
Saturday, mainly in the afternoon, and mainly east of I-35. Winds
will be all over the compass, but should be relatively light
outside showers and storms.
