Area forecast discussion, Jun 30, 11:36 PM CST, 24 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 1236 AM CDT TUE JUL 1 2014 .DISCUSSION... THE 06Z AVIATION DISCUSSION FOLLOWS.... && .AVIATION... A LARGE COMPLEX OF TSRA WILL WEAKEN OVERNIGHT AS IT DRIFTS SLOWLY SE. VERY STRONG WINDS WILL OCCUR IN NW OK THROUGH ABOUT 09Z AND WILL EXTEND 10-20 NM SE OF THE AREA OF TSRA. IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THE CURRENT SET OF STORMS WILL REACH KLAW/KOKC/KOUN...BUT WITH AFTERNOON INSTABILITY AND A MUCH WEAKER CAP...SCT TO BKN AREAS OF TSRA ARE LIKELY TO FORM AGAIN IN THE AFTERNOON...EVENING...AND OVERNIGHT...AGAIN SPREADING SLOWLY SE WITH TIME. EXPECT MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS...BUT SHORT PERIODS OF MVFR/IFR WILL OCCUR WITHIN THE TSRA. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 727 PM CDT MON JUN 30 2014/ UPDATE... MADE MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO MAINLY TO LOWER RAIN CHANCES A BIT THIS EVENING SOUTH OF A ARNETT TO PONCA CITY LINE. DISCUSSION... STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND MOVE INTO NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. WE CONTINUE MONITOR STORM DEVELOPMENT. STORM CLUSTER IN SOUTHEAST COLORADO APPEARS TO BE INCREASING IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY...SO THIS MAY DEVELOP INTO A COMPLEX OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. IF IT DOES...IT COULD SPEED UP AND MOVE INTO FAR NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA BETWEEN 11 PM AND 2 AM. ADDITIONAL STORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ALONG A COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM NEAR LIBERAL TO GREENSBURG KANSAS IN THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS. OVERALL...DELAYED MOST STORM CHANCES THIS EVENING UNTIL AFTER 10 PM. A FEW STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS ARE POSSIBLE WITH DAMAGING WINDS TO 70 MPH AND HAIL TO GOLF BALLS OVER NORTHERN OKLAHOMA LATER TONIGHT. THERE IS HIGH AMOUNTS OF POTENTIAL INSTABILITY...BUT SHEAR IS A BIT MORE QUESTIONABLE FOR SUPPORTING SEVERE STORMS. NOT SURE HOW STORMS WILL EVOLVE TONIGHT. REGARDLESS...NORTHERN OKLAHOMA HAS THE HIGHEST STORM CHANCES. HEAVY RAINFALL OF 1 TO 3 INCHES...POSSIBLY LOCALLY MORE... COULD OCCUR ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHERN OKLAHOMA TONIGHT. WILL LEAVE FLASH FLOOD WATCH AS IS. DRIER AIR AND LOWER SURFACE DEWPOINTS HAVE BEEN MOVING INTO THE AREA FROM THE SOUTH OVER THE PAST FEW HOURS...WHICH MAY LIMIT SEVERE AND HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL LATER TONIGHT...THOUGH CONFIDENCE REMAINS LOW. PRODUCTS WILL BE UPDATED SHORTLY. MBS PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 645 PM CDT MON JUN 30 2014/ AVIATION... 00Z TAFS...CONVECTION IN SOUTHEAST COLORADO IS ORGANIZING AND MOVING GENERALLY EAST AND SOUTHEAST. OTHER STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM SHORTLY IN SOUTHWEST KANSAS ALONG A FRONTAL BOUNDARY. DIFFICULT FORECAST TO TIME IN TERMS OF CONVECTION IMPACTING TERMINAL SITES BUT GAG/WWR/CSM AND PNC HAVE THE BEST CHANCE FOR STORMS THROUGH 12Z TUESDAY. STRONG LOW LEVEL JET OVERNIGHT SHOULD FAVOR STORMS BUILDING SOUTHWARD BUT VERY WARM 7H TEMPS MAY LIMIT SOUTHWARD MOVEMENT AT LEAST OVERNIGHT. IF STORMS ORGANIZE ENOUGH THIS EVENING AND COLD POOL IS DEEP ENOUGH...OKC/OUN COULD SEE STORMS BY AROUND SUNRISE TUESDAY. CONFIDENCE IN THIS IS LOW HOWEVER. LAW/SPS MAY REMAIN DRY UNTIL HEATING/FRONTAL BOUNDARY TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 310 PM CDT MON JUN 30 2014/ DISCUSSION... SHORT TERM...TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY... THE HEAT IS ON...AT LEAST FOR THE REST OF TODAY. THIS WILL CHANGE OVER THE NEXT FEWS DAYS AS A SERIES OF UPPER WAVES AND A REMNANT FRONTAL BOUNDARY BRING SOLID RAIN CHANCES AND COOLER TEMPERATURES TO MUCH OF OKLAHOMA AND NORTH TEXAS. LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING...A FRONT WILL BECOME NEARLY STATIONARY ACROSS THE OK/TX PANHANDLES...SW KS AND NW OK. WITH SUFFICIENT DAYTIME HEATING...THIS FRONT WILL SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS. INITIALLY...SOME OF THE STORMS MAY PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS...BUT AS WE HEAD INTO THE EVENING...AND THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOWS CONGEAL...ONE OR MORE STORM CLUSTERS ARE EXPECTED TO FORM AND MOVE SOUTH AND EAST INTO MUCH OF NORTHERN AND WESTERN OKLAHOMA. INITIAL SEVERE THREATS WILL INCLUDE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS...WITH THE THREAT SHIFTING TO MORE OF A STRONG WIND AND HEAVY RAIN/FLOODING THREAT AFTER MIDNIGHT. WITH SUBSTANTIAL DEEP LAYER MOISTURE...INDICATED BY PWATS OF 1.5 TO 2.0 INCHES...AND RECENT HEAVY RAINFALL EVENTS ACROSS NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA...OPTED TO GO AHEAD AND ISSUE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR A FEW COUNTIES IN NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON. COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL FILL IN BEHIND SHOWERS AND STORMS TOMORROW AS THE FRONT IS DRIVEN SOUTHWARD...WARM AND MUGGY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST TO THE SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY. SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL LIKELY BECOME LESS NUMEROUS DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS TOMORROW...WITH A REGENERATION ACROSS THE TX PANHANDLE AND WESTERN OKLAHOMA LATE TOMORROW INTO TOMORROW NIGHT. ONCE AGAIN...WE EXPECT ANOTHER OVERNIGHT STORM COMPLEX TO ROLL ACROSS OKLAHOMA...THIS TIME A BIT FARTHER SOUTH. THE PROCESS WILL REPEAT ITSELF ON WEDNESDAY NIGHT...WITH THE GREATEST RAIN CHANCES ALONG THE RED RIVER AND OVER FAR SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHERN TEXAS. HEAVY RAINFALL AND STRONG WINDS WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONCERNS WITH OVERNIGHT STORMS BOTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHTS. SHOWERS AND STORMS MAY LINGER INTO THURSDAY...BUT THE TREND SHOULD BE DRIER WITH SEASONABLY WARM CONDITIONS PERSISTING. LONG TERM...FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY... THE FORECAST FOR THE EXTENDED PERIOD IS AN EXERCISE IN FUZZY FORECASTING. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL BE WINDING DOWN ON THURSDAY AS THE FRONT WASHES OUT. A FEW MORE SHORTWAVES WILL MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH FRIDAY INTO SUNDAY...HOWEVER...ANY PRECIP CHANCES WITH THESE WAVES ARE TOO LOW TO MENTION. TEMPERATURES WILL SLOWLY WARM BACK UP THROUGH THE WEEKEND INTO THE LOW TO MID 90S. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
