Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Norman OK
655 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019
.DISCUSSION...
12Z TAFs.
&&
.AVIATION...
There will be some areas of MVFR or locally IFR conditions
especially near and north of a front that extends across central
and southwest Oklahoma into western north Texas. Scattered
thunderstorms this morning near KPNC will move out, but additional
scattered showers and thunderstorms are likely later today,
including the possibility of a line of storms moving across the
area late this morning and this afternoon. Severe weather (large
hail, damaging winds, and at least some potential for a tornado)
will be possible. The conditions overnight tonight into Wednesday
morning will depend on what happens today and this evening with
the thunderstorms and any outflow that they produce. The NAM model
suggests that low-level moisture and low clouds will be more
prevalent.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 412 AM CDT Tue Apr 30 2019/
DISCUSSION...
Early this morning, scattered showers and storms continue to develop
and move across parts of western and northern Oklahoma, generally
along and north of an elevated boundary (925-850mb). MUCAPE
values between 750-1000 J/kg and effective shear around 35-40 knots
will support a few strong storms through 12-14Z. Farther south,
elevated showers between 10-15K feet will occur with generally
light rain amounts.
A surface boundary extends from roughly Seymour, Texas northeast to
near Duncan, OKC and Stillwater. Some dense fog has formed near
and just north of this feature with a few 1/4 mile observations.
Later this morning, the boundary may momentarily pushed southward,
as a wave on the front moves northeast. This along with scattered
showers should help improve visibility.
During the mid to late morning, the surface boundary is expected to
lift back to the northwest some. Meanwhile, scattered to numerous
showers and storms are expected to develop over western Texas and
parts of western Oklahoma as a shortwave trough approaches.
Several CAMs suggest that widespread convection will develop along
and near the front. The storms may evolve into a squall and move
east across a large part of Oklahoma and western north Texas.
Damaging winds, hail and heavy rainfall will be likely. Very
strong 0-1km shear over south central and southeast Oklahoma may
improve the chances of tornadoes across that area.
Severe CAMs also suggest the potential for excessive rainfall
south and east of the current Flood Watch. Therefore, several
counties across south central and southeast Oklahoma will be added
to the watch. The new area will run through 12Z Wednesday.
With a lingering surface and elevated boundary, at least widely
scattered showers and storms may develop late tonight into
Wednesday, mainly along and north of I-40.
Will certainly need to watch the chance of additional showers and
thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon. Although predictability is
rather low, some storms may form near a dryline in the Texas
Panhandle/western Oklahoma during the afternoon. Thunderstorm
coverage may increase Wednesday night into Thursday, as another
cold front is expected to push across the region.
Will generally keep in slight to chance POPs for Friday into
the weekend, as several more disturbances are expected to
influence the weather.

There is an enhanced risk of severe thunderstorms today across the eastern half of Oklahoma. A slight risk covers the western half of Oklahoma and western north Texas. Location... The enhanced risk area is generally along and east of a Stillwater to Oklahoma City and Duncan line. The slight risk area is generally west of the enhanced risk to the Oklahoma and Texas state line. Timing... The most likely time for severe storms will be from 11 am through Midnight. Impacts... Hail up to the size of golf balls. Damaging winds of 60 to 70 mph. A few tornadoes possible. Excessive rainfall with flooding possible. Discussion... Scattered showers and thunderstorms will be possible across much of the area this morning. A few strong storms will be possible with this activity, but severe weather is not expected. By late morning a line of storms is expected to develop across the eastern Texas panhandle into western Oklahoma and western north Texas. This line will then move quickly east toward central sections of Oklahoma with a threat for large hail and damaging wind gusts. As this activity moves into south central and southeast Oklahoma during the afternoon we could see additional isolated storms develop ahead of the main line of storms. These storms will have a greater potential to produce a tornado or two in addition to large hail and damaging wind gusts. .SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT... Storm spotter groups and emergency management personnel across the area should prepare for potential severe weather operations. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday... There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms on Wednesday mainly across the eastern half of Oklahoma. A marginal risk covers the western half of Oklahoma and western north Texas. The most likely time for severe weather will be during the afternoon and evening. Thunderstorms remain in the forecast for Thursday through Monday.

A tornado developed about 2 miles south-southeast of Blue, and quickly became a large and strong tornado. Before crossing SH-70 east of Blue, the tornado widened to 1400 yards and damaged or destroyed a number of mobile homes. One mobile home was blown about 50-75 yards east-northeast into a grove of trees. A woman in this mobile home suffered significant injuries and died in a hospital on May 2. The tornado crossed US-70 producing significant tree damage. Just north of US-70, another mobile home was destroyed and blown away with another fatality. The tornado moved northeast into a less densely populate area, although at least one other home was unroofed northeast of Blue.
About two miles south of the Atoka County line, the tornado hit an anchored mobile home that was destroyed with the debris scattered hundreds of yards to the east and southeast. The tornado continued to produce tree damage in northern Bryan County and moved into Atoka County near just west of Matoy Road.
