Area forecast discussion, Jun 8, 6:01 AM CDT, 2 hours 42 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 601 AM CDT Wed Jun 8 2022 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 145 AM CDT Wed Jun 8 2022 Somewhat complicated setup ongoing early this morning as several areas of convection continue, with one area across the panhandles and southwest KS tied to warm air advection along the nose of the low-level jet, and a second area across central/eastern KS associated with the cold front progressing southward. Hi-res model guidance has been struggling to properly resolve both areas of convection so confidence continues to be lower than normal regarding the evolution of convection this morning. The most likely scenario will be for initially more isolated convection across western Oklahoma to increase in coverage as the cold front moves southward, with additional convection developing further eastward along the front as well into northern and central Oklahoma with time. There remains the possibility of one or more linear segments to organize with an associated risk for damaging wind gusts, along with a risk for isolated large hail. Some risk also exists for flooding if storms can train over the same areas, but at least as of now the progressive nature of the front appears to be somewhat of a limiting factor, with only isolated flooding expected. The front will continue southward through the morning, with convection moving south and eastward out of the area by late morning. Scattered showers will remain possible behind the front into early afternoon before diminishing. Chances for organized high plains convection tonight appear very low as the front pushes well to the south and takes the better moisture with it. Still, retained slight chances for showers/storms tonight across our southern counties closer to the front where moisture will linger the longest. Ware && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 256 AM CDT Wed Jun 8 2022 Another round of thunderstorms, but looks to be the final one of this week, will be possible across at least portions of the area Thursday night into early Friday. Models show NW upper flow setting up late this week with southerly sfc winds returning during the day Thursday and a boundary moving into parts of the area Thursday night/Friday. Higher dewpoint moisture will spread back north across the area Thursday ahead of this boundary. Models show thunderstorms developing N and NW/W of the fa Thursday afternoon/evening then becoming one or more storm complexes that affects the region. There is more confidence that an MCS will develop in KS and move into parts of OK which could affect at least NE/E portions of the fa, although there is some uncertainty on how far W/SW the MCS will affect the area. A few models even show that the majority of the MCS would stay N and E of the fa. Meanwhile, there is lower confidence that any storms that develop in the High Plains to the NW and W will make it into the fa but there is a chance some of this activity could make it into portions of the fa as well. Strong to severe storms will also be possible Thursday night/early Friday, with the highest potential with the MCS. Damaging winds, hail, and heavy rain will be the main concerns. After this last round of storms, models show an upper ridge affecting the region this weekend into early next week leading to a dry forecast. Temperatures will also begin to warm with above average temperatures late this weekend into early next week. It looks like southwest portions of the fa will climb above 100 for several days next week. Breezy winds are also expected early next week. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 556 AM CDT Wed Jun 8 2022 Storms are currently located in western OK near KCSM this morning. These storms are expected to move towards the east- southeast later this morning. Additional showers and thunderstorms could impact KWWR, KPNC, and KSWO this morning as well. Otherwise, VFR conditions are expected throughout the TAF period at all sites. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
