Area forecast discussion, May 10, 5:46 AM CDT, 5 hours 8 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 546 AM CDT Mon May 10 2021 ...New AVIATION, UPPER AIR... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 219 AM CDT Mon May 10 2021 Scattered showers will continue to work east across portions of northern Oklahoma this morning and may linger though much of the day as minor upper level disturbance moves across Kansas. Meanwhile further south, waa pattern develops, although models have begun to show this pattern remaining further south across Texas than previous runs. So will look at lowering precip chances for this afternoon, but likely not removing entirely. By Monday night, approaching shortwave trough will strengthen waa across the area from west to east overnight, resulting in mainly light precipitation developing across areas to our west and then further east by Tuesday morning. Instability will be slow to develop, but a few elevated thunderstorms will remain possible, while severe weather chances remain low. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 219 AM CDT Mon May 10 2021 Widespread cloud cover and precip will limit daytime insolation and a rather cool day is anticipated for Tuesday. Highs Tuesday will be some 15 to 20 degrees below seasonal norms. As trough axis moves to the east, rain chances will diminish from west to east Tuesday night Wednesday. Shortwave ridging will build east out of the Rockies by the end of the week with warmer temperatures and drier conditions. This will however put the Plains in a northwest flow pattern and we could see High Plains convection develop and move southeast toward the area by Friday night into Saturday. Could see another round Saturday night into Sunday, perhaps a bit further east as ridge begins to shift east as western trough develops into the western conus. Model differences keep latter part of extended with lower confidence, but pattern would suggest a higher probability of severe weather as we go into the following week. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 541 AM CDT Mon May 10 2021 Showers will move through northwest and north central OK this morning. Mostly MVFR conditions are expected at each site throughout the period. NNE winds will prevail across the area. Ceilings could come up to VFR in the early afternoon, but then are expected to drop by down to MVFR this evening again. Showers could impact each site towards the end of the period. && .UPPER AIR... Issued at 541 AM CDT Mon May 10 2021 No soundings are planned at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
