UPDATES OUT SHORTLY. 30 ----------------------------------------------------- 309 PM CDT THU JUN 30 2005 .DISCUSSION... A FEW SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THIS EVENING. HOWEVER... OF MORE CONCERN IS THE POTENTIAL FOR AN MCS OVERNIGHT TONIGHT... AND AGAIN TOMORROW NIGHT. THESE COMPLEXES... ASSUMING THEY FORM AS PLANNED... WILL MAINLY AFFECT THE NORTHEAST HALF OF OUR FORECAST AREA. THE UPPER RIDGE AND MID/UPPER-LEVEL WARMING WILL RETURN SUNDAY AND SHOULD CLAMP OFF PRECIPITATION UNTIL AT LEAST THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO SUMMERLIKE VALUES... EVEN ACROSS OUR NORTHERN COUNTIES... ALTHOUGH THE EXPECTED WET GROUND WILL SLOW THE WARMUP A BIT.

THE SLIGHT RISK AREA IS NORTH OF A LINE ROUGHLY FROM MANGUM... TO
LAWTON... TO PAULS VALLEY... TO COALGATE.
EXPECTED WEATHER AND IMPACTS...
HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF GOLF BALLS AND WINDS UP TO 70 MPH ARE
EXPECTED WITH A FEW OF THE STRONGEST STORMS. THE TORNADO RISK IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN VERY LOW... BUT NON-ZERO.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS...
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT AND STORM SPOTTER GROUPS ACROSS THE NORTHERN
TWO-THIRDS OF OKLAHOMA SHOULD BE PREPARED TO CONDUCT SEVERE WEATHER
OPERATIONS BEGINNING LATER THIS AFTERNOON... BUT MORE LIKELY FROM
THE LATE EVENING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
DISCUSSION...
A COLD FRONT LOCATED FROM THE CENTRAL OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE...
NORTHEASTWARD INTO CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST KANSAS WILL MOVE SLOWLY
SOUTHWARD THROUGH TONIGHT AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES FROM
UTAH TO THE CENTRAL PLAINS TONIGHT. THE AIRMASS ALONG AND SOUTH OF
THE FRONT WILL BECOME MODERATELY UNSTABLE BY THIS EVENING WITH CAPE
VALUES UP TO 3000... WITH SUFFICIENT DEEP LAYER WIND SHEAR IN PLACE
TO SUPPORT SEVERE STORMS THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP EITHER LATE THIS
AFTERNOON OR THIS EVENING NEAR THE FRONT FROM FAR NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA
INTO SOUTHERN KANSAS... WITH STORMS THEN ORGANIZING INTO A LARGE
COMPLEX AND MOVING SOUTHEASTWARD INTO OKLAHOMA OVERNIGHT. THE
STRONGEST STORMS ARE LIKELY TO PRODUCE HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF GOLF
BALLS AND WINDS UP TO 70 MPH. THE PRIMARY THREATS ARE EXPECTED TO
EVOLVE INTO MAINLY WIND AND HEAVY RAINFALL AFTER MIDNIGHT.
THE HIGHEST CHANCE OF SUPERCELLS APPEARS TO BE WITHIN THE FIRST 3
HOURS OR SO AFTER INITIAL STORM DEVELOPMENT ACROSS NORTHERN
OKLAHOMA. ALTHOUGH THE TORNADO RISK IS EXPECTED TO BE SMALL... A
STORM OR TWO MAY BE ABLE TO PRODUCE A TORNADO WITHIN THE FIRST
SEVERAL HOURS OF STORM EVOLUTION. THE MOST LIKELY AREA FOR THIS TO
OCCUR WOULD BE OVER NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA... NEAR AND JUST TO THE EAST
AND NORTHEAST OF A SURFACE LOW ALONG THE FRONT.
