Hail and Damaging Winds in Oklahoma, July 14, 2016

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
654 AM CDT THU JUL 14 2016

.DISCUSSION...
The 14/12Z TAF discussion is below.

&&

.AVIATION...

Overall, a low confidence aviation forecast through the TAF
period. Generally expect VFR conditions outside of thunderstorms.
Within thunderstorms, expect erratic winds and MVFR to IFR
conditions.

Thunderstorms across northwest Oklahoma are expected to shift
eastward across northern Oklahoma this morning. These thunderstorms
will initially impact KGAG/KWWR and may impact KPNC by early
afternoon. There is a low chance these thunderstorms could
develop as far south as KOKC/KOUN, but confidence is too low to
include in TAFs.

Additional thunderstorms may develop across northwest/west-
central Oklahoma late afternoon. These storms are expected to
progress west to east through the evening. No thunderstorms were
included at KSPS due to low probability of occurrence; however,
there is a chance thunderstorms could impact KSPS after 06Z.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 412 AM CDT THU JUL 14 2016/

DISCUSSION...

The greatest forecast uncertainty is the evolution of convection
throughout today. Most convective-allowing models (4 KM/TTU
WRF/HRRR) indicate thunderstorms will develop across northwest
Oklahoma later this morning at the terminus of a developing low-
level jet. There is evidence of some lift with some mid-level
radar echoes across southwest Kansas. If these thunderstorms
develop, they will propagate across the northern half of Oklahoma
through the morning/early afternoon.

The location/intensity/chance of any redevelopment will be
modulated by any morning/early afternoon thunderstorms. The
outflow boundary from these thunderstorms may serve as as
mechanism/effective front for additional thunderstorm development
late this afternoon and into the evening. Current consensus for
any redevelopment is across west central into north central
Oklahoma. These thunderstorms are expected to grow upscale into an
mesoscale convective complex, which should propagate east-
southeast through the overnight. Best chance of showers/storms
will be north of I-40.

Any remnant convective boundaries may serve as a focus for
thunderstorm development Friday afternoon. In addition, thunderstorms
will be possible late Friday into Saturday with another potential
MCS. The best chance for this will be across northern Oklahoma.

Heavy rainfall will be a a threat the next couple days with
precipitable water values forecast to >90th percentile. Flooding
risk appears greatest across north central Oklahoma, where they
already received heavy rainfall last evening/early this morning.
Will maintain a slight chance across eastern Oklahoma Saturday
afternoon, but expect most areas to remain dry.

Sunday and beyond, model consensus continues to indicate a mid-
level ridge (>598 dam at 500 mb) expanding northeastward and
remaining quasi-stationary across Oklahoma/Kansas/Nebraska/Missouri
region through next week. Bottom line, hot and dry weather will be
here for the foreseeable future after Saturday.
