AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
732 PM CDT FRI APR 28 2006
.UPDATE...
WILL BE ISSUING AN UPDATE TO THE FORECAST PACKAGE TO ACCOUNT FOR
CURRENT LOCATION OF MAIN FRONTAL BOUNDARY...WHICH IS BECOMING
NEARLY STATIONARY. IT IS EXPECTED TO STAY STATIONARY THROUGH LATE
TONIGHT...WHICH IS EXPECTED TO YIELD TRAINING TYPE HEAVY RAIN
EVENT AS UPPER SYSTEM APPROACHES AND LOW LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS.
WE WENT AHEAD AND ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF
NORTH-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA WHERE ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS WOULD YIELD
MORE OF A THREAT OF FLASH FLOODING. MANY AREAS ACROSS NORTHERN
KINGFISHER...THROUGH GARFIELD AND PORTIONS OF KAY COUNTY HAVE
RECEIVED BETWEEN 2.5 AND 3.O INCHES. CURRENT 88D RADAR ESTIMATES
APPEAR TO BE ABOUT 150-200% OF OBSERVED AMOUNTS.
WITH INCREASED SHEAR THROUGH THE NIGHTTIME HOURS...SEVERE THREAT
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE...BUT WIDESPREAD SEVERE NOT EXPECTED DUE TO
LIMITED INSTABILITY. MAIN CONCERN AT THIS TIME IS HEAVY RAIN
POTENTIAL LATE TONIGHT.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... (ISSUED 303 PM CDT FRI APR 28 2006)
DISCUSSION...
CONVECTION IS INCREASING THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS THE AREA AHEAD OF
STORM SYSTEM TO THE WEST. HAVE GOTTEN SOME CLEARING AND HEATING IN
A SMALL PERT OF SOUTHWEST PART OF THE AREA AND ACROSS THE TEXAS
SOUTH PLAINS AND SOUTHERN PANHANDLE WHICH HAS ALLOWED SURFACE-
BASED INSTABILITY TO DEVELOP. INSTABILITY WILL BE MORE ELEVATED IN
NATURE FARTHER WHERE CLOUDS HAVE KEPT SURFACE TEMPERATURES LOWER.
WILL INCLUDE SEVERE WORDING IN THE ZONES AREAWIDE. EXPECT
THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE AREA THROUGH
THE EVENING HOURS. AND HAVE KEPT THE CATEGORICAL POPS IN MOST
AREAS. THERE ARE SIGNS OF DRYSLOT DEVELOPING THAT MAY IMPACT
EXTENT OF PRECIPITATION IN SOUTHWESTERN OR WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE
AREA LATER THIS EVENING... BUT STILL THINK CHANCES OF RAIN ARE
HIGH BEFORE THIS. SOME PORTIONS OF NOBLE AND KAY COUNTIES RECEIVED
HEAVY RAIN TODAY... BUT THE HIGHEST CHANCES OF HEAVY RAIN THIS
EVENING WILL LIKELY BE FARTHER SOUTH SO HAVE NOT ISSUED FFA IN
THIS AREA.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL CONTINUE INTO THE SECOND PERIOD AHEAD OF
THE SURFACE FRONT THAT IS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO THE NORTHWEST
CORNER OF THE AREA. EVEN AFTER THIS FRONT MOVES THROUGH... SOME
INSTABILITY CLOSER TO THE UPPER LOW IS SUFFICIENT TO KEEP SOME
CHANCE POPS IN THE FORECAST...ESPECIALLY IN NORTH CENTRAL
OKLAHOMA.
