Area forecast discussion, Jun 11, 5:36 PM CST, 3 hours 9 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 636 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2019 .DISCUSSION... The June 12-13 00 UTC TAF discussion follows: && .AVIATION... A cold front with a northerly wind shift is expected to progress from north to south tonight. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop along and move ahead of the front. Brief MVFR ceilings and/or visibilities and gusty winds will be possible with any thunderstorms. Northerly winds and VFR conditions are expected behind the front by later tomorrow morning and through the afternoon hours. Mahale && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 305 PM CDT Tue Jun 11 2019/ DISCUSSION... Main challenge for this forecast period is timing and extent of showers and storms this evening and overnight. NAM and RAP are much slower with the front tonight than the GFS (with the ECMWF holding more of a middle position). Thinking is that the GFS is too aggressive with surface dewpoints resulting in earlier convection. Leaning toward the NAM / RAP solution (also supported by most CAMs) with showers and storms entering northern Oklahoma closer to 4 or 5 Z. These storms will continue overnight with some severe risk as deep layer shear continues around 50 knots and instability decreases slightly. A shortwave moving through may trigger storms off the dryline Thursday afternoon potentially impacting western Oklahoma. Scattered rain chances will continue through early next week with zonal flow. After a relatively cool Wednesday and Thursday, temperatures warm into the weekend. Day && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

There is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms across northern and western Oklahoma mainly from 8 PM to midnight. The risk area covers locations north and west of Medford and Enid, Kingfisher, Clinton, Weatherford, and Elk City. A marginal risk extends eastward and southward, covering all but southeast Oklahoma for the overnight hours. Damaging wind gusts between 60 to 70 mph will be the primary hazard, with hail up to the size of golf balls a secondary threat and mainly in the Slight Risk area. While heavy rain will be brief, it could result in flooding of low lying and poor drainage areas given the saturated nature of the ground from recent rains. .SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT STATEMENT... Storm spotter groups and emergency management personnel across northwest Oklahoma should prepare for severe weather operations this evening, with any risk for central and southern Oklahoma and western north Texas being overnight. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday... .Thunderstorms... Thunderstorm chances return Thursday and continue off and on through early next week, with strong to severe storms possible.
