AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
239 PM CDT SUN MAY 8 2016

.DISCUSSION...
MAIN CONCERN CONT TO BE WITH TODAY/MONDAY SEVERE WEATHER.

ELEVATED STORMS CONT TO MOVE OUT OF THE AREA EARLY THIS AFTN AS
AWEAK LEAD SHORTWAVE MOVES THROUGH THE SOUTHERN PLAINS.
STILL ANTICIPATE SEVERE STORMS DEVELOPING THIS AFTN ALONG A
DRYLINE THAT IS EXPECTED TO BE NEAR THE WESTERN BORDER OF
OKLAHOMA. ALTHOUGH SOME MIXED SIGNALS IN THE MODELS AS TO
LOCATION AND NUMBER OF STORMS...MAINLY AS THEY TRY TO FIGURE OUT
LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND CAPPING INVERSION TEMPS. LATEST THINKING
IS THAT THERE WILL BE MORE STORMS FROM NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA INTO
KANSAS. ISOLATED STORMS STILL APPEAR LIKELY FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS
SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA SOUTHWARD INTO WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. ANY OF
THESE STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE WITH LARGE
HAIL... DAMAGING WINDS AND THE POSSIBILITY OF PRODUCING
TORNADOES.

AS THESE STORMS MOVE TOWARD THE I-35 CORRIDOR THIS
EVENING... ESPECIALLY AS WE LOSE DAYTIME HEATING... THEY WILL
BEGIN TO ENCOUNTER A STRENGTHENING CAP AND ARE EXPECTED TO
WEAKEN. EXACTLY WHERE THAT MAY OCCUR WILL DEPEND ON WHERE/WHEN
THE STORMS DEVELOP AND FAR EAST THEY CAN MAKE IT BEFORE THIS LOSE
OF HEATING.

OVERNIGHT... A COMPLEX OF STORMS WILL MOVE TOWARD SOUTHERN
OKLAHOMA FROM WEST TEXAS AND SOME OF THESE MAY POSE A HAIL/WIND
THREAT. THIS COMPLEX WILL SLOWLY TRANSITIONS INTO SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA MONDAY MORNING.

A FINAL SHORTWAVE WILL ROTATE AROUND LARGE UPPER LOW THROUGH
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS ON MONDAY. AS THIS OCCURS THE DRYLINE WILL
MIX FARTHER EAST AND IS EXPECTED TO BE NEAR THE I-35 CORRIDOR BY
MIDDAY MONDAY. ADDITIONAL STORMS WILL LIKELY FORM NEAR AND EAST
OF THE DRYLINE AS WE GO THROUGH THE AFTERNOON HOURS. SOME OF
THESE WILL AGAIN HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE.

WE GET A BREAK FROM THE STORMS ON TUESDAY WITH VERY
WARM CONDITIONS... ESPECIALLY ACROSS SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND
WESTERN NORTH TEXAS WHERE HIGHS IN THE 90S ARE EXPECTED.

A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE SOUTH THROUGH THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY AS
AN UPPER TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE CENTRAL/NORTHERN PLAINS.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL FORM ALONG THIS FRONT... MAINLY
ACROSS AREA SOUTH AND EAST OF I-44 WEDNESDAY AFTN. THERE COULD BE
ENOUGH INSTABILITY IN THESE AREAS FOR A FEW SEVERE STORMS CAPABLE
OF LARGE HAIL.

ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL BRING RAIN/STORM CHANCES BY LATE THIS WEEK
INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

1155 AM CDT SUN MAY 8 2016

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHERN...
WESTERN...CENTRAL...AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA...AND WESTERN NORTH
TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

.THUNDERSTORMS...
THERE IS A RISK OF SEVERE STORMS ACROSS PARTS OF OKLAHOMA AND ALL
OF WESTERN NORTH TEXAS.

LOCATION...
AN ENHANCED RISK COVERS AN AREA GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF A
LINE FROM HOLLIS TO FREDERICK... TO CHICKASHA... TO YUKON... TO
BRAMAN OKLAHOMA. A SLIGHT RISK IS SOUTH AND EAST OF THE ENHANCED
RISK AND COVERS ALL OF WESTERN NORTH TEXAS AND THAT PART OF
OKLAHOMA WEST OF A LINE FROM ARDMORE TO PAULS VALLEY TO CHANDLER TO
CUSHING.

TIMING...
THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE AFTER 3 PM.

IMPACTS...
HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF TENNIS BALLS AND WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH WILL
BE THE MAIN CONCERNS. A FEW TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE WITH
THE GREATEST POTENTIAL IN THE ENHANCED RISK AREA.

DISCUSSION...
ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. SOME OF
THE STRONGEST STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SMALL HAIL...
BUT THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER EARLY THIS AFTERNOON IS LOW.

ISOLATED TO SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE STORMS WILL LIKELY REDEVELOP
LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT NEAR A DRY LINE IN THE FAR EASTERN
TEXAS PANHANDLE OR FAR WESTERN PORTIONS OF OKLAHOMA AND NORTH
TEXAS. INSTABILITY AND WIND SHEAR SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT FOR THESE
STORMS TO BECOME SEVERE PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. A
FEW TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. STORMS MAY BE MORE NUMEROUS
IN NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA IN THE ENHANCED RISK AREA... BUT EVEN
ISOLATED STORMS FARTHER SOUTH WILL STILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF
PRODUCING SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER.

THE STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN IN THE MID EVENING HOURS AS THEY
MOVE EAST... BUT THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT COULD PERSIST ALONG THE
INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR THIS EVENING BEFORE WEAKENING.

ANOTHER AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS COULD MOVE INTO PARTS OF
WESTERN NORTH TEXAS AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA LATER TONIGHT INTO
MONDAY MORNING.

.SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT...

STORM SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL ACROSS THE
RISK AREAS SHOULD PREPARE FOR SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS LATE THIS
AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY...

.THUNDERSTORMS...
THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL CONTINUE MONDAY BUT SHIFT
EAST. AN ENHANCED RISK COVERS AN AREA GENERALLY EAST OF A LINE
FROM SEMINOLE AND ADA... TO MADILL OKLAHOMA WITH A SLIGHT RISK
GENERALLY ALONG AND EAST OF THE INTERSTATE 35 CORRIDOR. SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ALONG AND EAST OF A DRYLINE
MONDAY. THESE STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE PRODUCING LARGE HAIL...
DAMAGING WINDS... AND POSSIBLY A FEW TORNADOES. THE POTENTIAL FOR
STORMS WILL GRADUALLY END FROM WEST TO EAST MONDAY AND MONDAY
EVENING.

ADDITIONAL SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS AT
LEAST PARTS OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. STRONG TO
SEVERE STORMS MAY BE POSSIBLE.
