Area forecast discussion, Jun 28, 5:28 PM CST, 3 hours 17 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 628 PM CDT TUE JUN 28 2016 .DISCUSSION... The 00Z aviation discussion follows.... && .AVIATION... A thunderstorm cluster over northwest Oklahoma will continue to move south this evening. Very strong winds will accompany this system as it moves across TAF sites at KCSM, KHBR, and possibly KLAW. KSPS may be affected, too, but is less likely. Wind fields will be affected at all our TAF sites to some degree, with the least effect at KPNC. The storms should move out of our forecast area shortly after midnight. After that, winds, clouds, etc. should return to more typical values at all sites. There is a possibility of storms again tomorrow morning and afternoon, but the chances are currently too low at any specific location to warrant inclusion in TAFs.
