Area forecast discussion, Feb 25, 12:23 PM CST, 3 hours 59 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 1223 PM CST Sat Feb 25 2023 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 433 AM CST Sat Feb 25 2023 The surface ridge axis will push to the east today with southerly winds developing, but this will still be a recirculation of the cold airmass. As with the last few days, some of the models (especially the GFS) are still struggling with this cold airmass and warm things way too quickly. And with some of these outlier models pushing things too warm, the National Blend of Models is likely too warm again and will undercut the NBM forecast. As with yesterday, we may still be too warm with our forecast, but it should at least be closer to reality. Some light rain showers and drizzle with a little bit of isentropic lift above the frontal surface. Enough elevated instability develops that there could be a little thunder and lightning this afternoon in the south, but is not expected to be widespread nor severe. Low shower chances spread north overnight. && .LONG TERM... (Sunday through Friday) Issued at 433 AM CST Sat Feb 25 2023 We will likely have the same issue tomorrow with temperatures with some models modifying this airmass too quickly, especially considering the widespread cloudiness will likely persist. So we will undercut the NBM forecast for Sunday's highs as well. But instability will still be increasing ahead of the storm system, even if the temperatures remain on the cool side of the guidance range. This last front did not push into the Gulf, so dewpoints in the upper 60s and lower 70s are lurking in south Texas and we will not have to wait on modification of the airmass over the Gulf. But the NAM and some of the high- resolution models maintain a little hint of the surface ridge across central Texas delaying the fetch of good moisture advection until Sunday afternoon. The GFS/ ECMWF and Canadian all bring upper 50s dewpoints into our north Texas counties by 18Z, while the NAM delays this degree of dewpoint return until closer to sunset. Regardless, enough moisture and instability develops east of the Pacific front to develop storms in the eastern panhandles or western Oklahoma late Sunday afternoon and support the potential of severe thunderstorms. The instability and strong wind shear will support severe thunderstorms through the evening and into early Monday morning. Storms look to become widespread quickly, although supercellular storms will be possible in the early evening in the west, especially if the moisture return is more in line with the GFS. But even as the storms eventually evolve into a squall line, we will have to pay attention to the potential of QLCS tornadoes given the strong low-level shear. The primary threat with these storms will be strong winds though, especially with such low-level ambient winds expected. The storms race through and will exit the area early Monday morning. After this system moves through, we have the opposite problem with NBM forecast temperatures as the warm bias that the models have been struggling with is no longer an issue since the current cold air mass will not be here any more. The bias-correction aspect of the NBM now keeps forecast temperatures from climbing as high as they should and our forecast will be warmer than the NBM forecast. Some showers will be possible southeast Wednesday and Thursday, then more widespread precipitation is expected overnight Thursday night as the next strong mid-level system is forecast to move over the area. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1209 PM CST Sat Feb 25 2023 MVFR ceilings will continue across northern Texas as well as most of Oklahoma except for potions of far northern Oklahoma. Winds will gradually increase through the overnight hours and into Sunday, and remain out of the south. With increased moisture moving into the region, ceilings will decrease to IFR levels across the region Sunday morning, with lower visibilities beginning to develop. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Hazardous Weather Outlook National Weather Service Norman OK 209 PM CST Sat Feb 25 2023 OKZ004>048-050>052-TXZ083>090-262015- Harper-Woods-Alfalfa-Grant-Kay-Ellis-Woodward-Major-Garfield- Noble-Roger Mills-Dewey-Custer-Blaine-Kingfisher-Logan-Payne- Beckham-Washita-Caddo-Canadian-Oklahoma-Lincoln-Grady-McClain- Cleveland-Pottawatomie-Seminole-Hughes-Harmon-Greer-Kiowa-Jackson- Tillman-Comanche-Stephens-Garvin-Murray-Pontotoc-Coal-Cotton- Jefferson-Carter-Johnston-Atoka-Love-Marshall-Bryan-Hardeman- Foard-Wilbarger-Wichita-Knox-Baylor-Archer-Clay- 209 PM CST Sat Feb 25 2023 This hazardous weather outlook is for portions of northern... western...central...and southern Oklahoma...and western north Texas. .DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight... .Thunderstorms... Isolated thunderstorms will be possible this afternoon across north Texas and southern Oklahoma, but no severe thunderstorms are expected as instability will be low. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday... .Thunderstorms... There is a moderate risk of severe thunderstorms Sunday evening across portions of western, southwestern, central, and northern Oklahoma, mainly north and west of I-44, southeast of Woodward, and west of Yukon and I-35. An enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms extends into portions of far western north Texas and through the remainder of northern, central, and southwestern Oklahoma. A slight risk of severe thunderstorms extends through the remainder of western north Texas and southern/southeastern Oklahoma. The most likely time for severe thunderstorms will be between 5 PM Sunday afternoon and 3 AM Monday morning. Storms will be capable of producing wind gusts of 60 to 75 mph, hail to the size of golf balls and isolated tornadoes. Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms will begin to develop on Sunday afternoon across Oklahoma and north Texas. An isolated strong storm will be possible, but severe weather is not expected with these initial storms through mid-afternoon Sunday. Additional thunderstorms are expected to develop in the eastern Texas panhandle or western Oklahoma very late Sunday afternoon or early Sunday evening. The atmosphere will be more unstable in this area, and scattered severe thunderstorms are expected to develop. Some of these thunderstorms could become supercell thunderstorms early Sunday evening, especially in the enhanced risk area. Any supercell that forms would be capable of wind, hail and the potential of a tornado. Through the evening, the storms will develop into a line of storms that will move east through Oklahoma and north Texas overnight. With this line of storms, the primary threat will become damaging winds, although hail and a tornado or two would still remain possible. The storms will move east out of the area near or before sunrise Monday morning. .Fire weather... Fire weather conditions will be elevated across western Oklahoma and western north Texas each afternoon from Monday through Thursday. Near-critical conditions will be possible on Tuesday afternoon in the far west. Get graphics and more details at weather.gov/norman...and follow our weather forecast office on Twitter and Facebook.
