Hail and Damaging Wind in Oklahoma, June 13, 2003

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OKLAHOMA
935 PM CDT THU JUN 12 2003

LOOKING AT THE LATEST WEATHER AND MODELS... THE HIGH POPS IN THE
SOUTHEAST LOOK TOO HIGH SINCE THUNDERSTORMS WERE NOT WIDESPREAD
ACROSS SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING.  RUC STILL HAS DEVELOPMENT IN NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS THAT
DRIFTS INTO SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA TONIGHT.  00Z ETA DOES NOT HAVE
THIS... BUT BRINGS PRECIP FROM THE HIGH PLAINS INTO WESTERN OKLAHOMA
LATE TONIGHT /WHICH THE RUC DOES NOT/.  WILL LOWER THE POPS
CONSIDERABLY IN THE CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST... BUT GO AHEAD AND KEEP
SOME LOW POPS IN.  BETTER BET WILL BE WITH THE CONVECTION COMING OFF
THE HIGH PLAINS. WEAK FRONT MOVING INTO NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA LOOKS
TO MAKE SOME PROGRESS SOUTH... BUT NOT TOO MUCH.  UPDATES WILL BE
SENT SOON. .26.

--------------------------
742 PM CDT THU JUN 12 2003

AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS ON THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY REMAINED ISOLATED
AND HAVE NOW MOVED OUT OF THE CWA. SATELLITE SHOWS THAT THE OTHER CU
THAT HAD BEEN BUBBLING IN THE AREA HAVE DISSIPATED. WILL UPDATE
ZONES TO LOWER POPS BEFORE MIDNIGHT. POPS LATE TONIGHT STILL LOOKS
GOOD WITH THE THUNDERSTORMS MOVING OFF THE HIGH PLAINS. WILL
REEVALUATE SPECIFICS AS THE EVENING PROGRESSES.  .26.

--------------------------
256 PM CDT THU JUN 12 2003

THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT DEVELOPED THIS MORNING CONTINUE TO MOVE OFF
TO THE SOUTHEAST...WITH ASSOCIATED CLOUDS QUICKLY DIMINISHING ACROSS
MUCH OF THE AREA. A DRYLINE WAS FROM LUBBOCK EASTWARD TO NEAR
CHILDRESS THEN SOUTHWARD TO SWEETWATER TO WEST OF SAN ANGELO...WITH
A SFC LOW OVER LUBBOCK. AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WAS LOCATED ACROSS NORTH
TEXAS. THE VERY UNSTABLE AIR HAS BEGUN TO MOVE BACK NORTH AHEAD OF
THE DRYLINE BRINGING 70 DEWPTS INTO TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST OK ZONES.
THE 18Z SOUNDING SHOWS A CAP IN PLACE OVER THE AREA...HOWEVER WITH
THE AFTN HEATING AND DRYLINE THINK THIS WILL BE BROKEN. EXPECT
CONVECTION TO INITIATE ALONG AND AHEAD OF DRYLINE AND THEN MOVE INTO
FA. CONVECTION IS EXPECTED TO ONCE AGAIN DEVELOP INTO A CLUSTER/S OF
STORMS. THERE IS A CHANCE OF ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS LATE
TONIGHT/EARLY MORNING AS STORMS DEVELOP IN THE HIGH PLAINS DUE TO
UPSLOPE FLOW AND EVENTUALLY MOVE INTO THE AREA. HEAVY RAINS COULD
CAUSE FLOODING PROBLEMS AGAIN THIS AFTN/TONIGHT...BUT DUE TO
UNCERTAINTY OF AREA THAT WILL BE AFFECTED WILL HOLD OFF ON
ISSUING FLASH FLOOD WATCH AND LET LATER SHIFTS MONITOR UNLESS THINGS
CHANGE BEFORE ISSUANCE TIME.

SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE AGAIN LATE FRIDAY AFTN
THRU OVERNIGHT AS AN UPR LVL LOW APPROACHES THE CENTRAL U.S. A COLD
FRONT IS PROGGED TO MOVE THRU THE AREA OVER THE WEEKEND AS UPR LVL
PATTERN MAKES A SHIFT TO NORTHWEST FLOW. THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUES THRU THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. DID NOT MAKE
ANY MAJOR CHANGES TO EXTENDED PERIODS.

FORECAST ID = 25
