Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 1037 PM CDT Thu Jun 29 2017 .DISCUSSION... Please see the 06Z aviation discussion. && .AVIATION... Very little changes were made to the 00Z TAFs. Still expect thunderstorms to move into northern OK within the next hour or 2, and impact PNC around 08Z. One change that was made to the PNC TAF was the inclusion of stronger winds in the tempo and lower visby (+TSRA) as confidence is fairly high that at least strong storms will be present, if not severe. The rest of the terminals should avoid any TSRA but OKC/OUN may briefly experience MVFR CIGS near sunrise. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
