Area forecast discussion, Jun 7, 6:03 AM CDT, 14 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 603 AM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 104 AM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022 Storms are currently ongoing in much of southwestern Kansas and parts of the Oklahoma panhandles. In particular, the beginnings of a complex in Texas (OK) and Stephens (KS) counties seems to be developing. Current expectation is for storms to congeal into an MCS and move through northwestern and central Oklahoma in the 7z to 15z timeframe tonight. Environment looks very capable of supporting convection late tonight (SBCAPE: 2000-2500 joules, effective bulk shear: 30-45 knots, MCS Maintenance probability: ~70). CIN remains high for the first part of the night, suppressing most of the convection through about 7-9z, but starts to erode after that as a shortwave moves over the region. Damaging winds and heavy rain will be the main concerns with these storms. A few caveats: A few runs of the HRRR (02 and 04Z) suggest we may get nothing overnight. The two environmental points that may lend some support to this are: a) storms may struggle some with the capping in place, especially if it does not erode as fast as forecast, and b) the low-level jet looks fairly weak. That being said, these runs are an outlier from other HRRR runs and most of the rest of the CAMs. Additionally, with the otherwise supportive environment and already developing complex in the panhandles, a null solution seems fairly unlikely. Some convection may linger into the morning hours before moving on. Average temperatures are expected during the day (mid 80s in northern Oklahoma to 90s in north Texas). Tuesday night will bring another possible MCS into the area. This shows up in most of the CAMs, though timing/area are still uncertain. Severe hazards including flooding will be possible again with these storms as a very similar environment sets up. Day && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Monday) Issued at 206 AM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022 Models show the MCS parade continues through the end of the work week then ridging begins to influence the region leading to a drier forecast. Models show that the relatively zonal flow with various weak shortwaves will continue until later this week when the upper flow becomes more northwesterly. This will continue the pattern of overnight/early morning storm chances. Storms could linger across portions of the fa Wednesday morning from the Tuesday night's MCS. The chances for storms/MCS Wednesday night into early Thursday are currently a bit lower but then it looks like there will be a better chance for storms/MCS across portions of the fa once again Thursday night into Friday with NW flow aloft and another cool front moving into the area. Models show storms could develop west of the area in eastern NM Wednesday afternoon/evening then move east. There is some question on how far east the storms will be able to propagate but looks like there is a chance the convection could move into and across parts of the area Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Storm development with eventual MCS moving across at least northern portions of the fa seems more likely Thursday night into Friday morning. Strong to severe storms will continue to be possible with these rounds of storms. Heavy rain/flooding will also continue to be a concern. Of course, there continues to be one caveat to storm potential and that is the unknown affects of the previous night's convection. Models show some mid/upper ridging beginning to influence the region this weekend which will make it harder for storms to affect the region. The ridging will also lead to warmer temperatures across the fa. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 546 AM CDT Tue Jun 7 2022 A thunderstorm complex just east of Clinton has been gradually building eastward toward Oklahoma City. These storms will affect KOKC and KOUN (gusty winds and reduced visibilities) through the early morning hours before moving off to the south and east. Storms moving east across northern Oklahoma have transitioned to just showers. Winds will be more or less easterly throughout the day with generally VFR conditions outside of convection. Late tonight another storm complex is expected to affect the area, but confidence is low in timing and location. Day && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Additional thunderstorms will be possible again late tonight into early Wednesday morning. The highest chances will be across the northern half of Oklahoma. Damaging winds and large hail will be possible with these storms as well as heavy rains leading to flooding. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday... .Thunderstorms... Thunderstorms will remain possible across Oklahoma and western north Texas through Friday. The storms will mainly occur during the late evening into early morning hours each day and will be most numerous across the northern half of Oklahoma. Some severe storms will be possible each night with damaging winds and hail the main concerns. Locally heavy rain could also cause a flooding concern in some locations.
