AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION...UPDATED
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
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.

.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.

STORMS WILL DEVELOP OR MOVE INTO NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA BETWEEN 1O PM AND MIDNIGHT...THEN SLOWLY WEAKEN AS THEY PUSH SOUTHEAST OR EAST THROUGH THE NIGHT. STRONG INSTABILITY AND SUFFICIENT WIND SHEAR ARE SUFFICIENT FOR STRONG AND SEVERE STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS. HIGH RAIN TOTALS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE... WHICH COULD LEAD TO FLOODING OF LOW-LYING AND POORLY DRAINED AREAS...ALONG WITH CREEKS AND MAIN-STEM RIVERS ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. .SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT...
