Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 1214 PM CDT Wed Jun 5 2019 .AVIATION... 18Z TAFs - Isolated to scattered showers/storms will continue to develop and move across portions of the area this afternoon into early evening. More widespread rain is expected later this evening/overnight into Thursday morning. Strong,variable winds could be possible near some of the storms. VFR/MVFR ceilings expected this TAF period. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 1100 AM CDT Wed Jun 5 2019/ UPDATE... Scattered showers/storms are still possible into this afternoon across portions of the fa. Additional storms are expected to develop in the high plains and move east towards the area. More widespread rain is expected later tonight into Thursday as the upper low approaches the area. Made adjustments to PoPs and sky cover. Also adjusted highs up a few degrees across portions of the area where sky cover isn't quite as extensive as previously forecast. All updates out soon. PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 304 AM CDT Wed Jun 5 2019/ DISCUSSION... Main forecast concerns will be uncertainties with convection over the next 12 to 24 hours and heavy rain associated with a cut-off low affecting the region late Wednesday into early Friday. Near term forecast remains fairly uncertain as models (including CAMs) have performed poorly over the last several days in this pattern. PoPs over the next 12 to 24 hours are based largely on radar trends and the experience of the last few days as the environment really hasn't changed much. Expectation is for showers and storms currently in the southern Texas panhandle to continue trekking across southern Oklahoma and north Texas (with high uncertainty as to how far east they'll make it). A shortwave ahead of the closed low may result in some convection starting in central Texas and moving up near the Red River through the day. Also, kept some low chance PoPs through the afternoon hours for the possibility of diurnal convection. Higher confidence in the forecast starting Wednesday night as more distinct forcing moves into the area in the form of a closed low over New Mexico. Rain chances will increase late Wednesday through Thursday, lingering in the east through Friday morning (overall a slightly slower forecast than previous). Prolonged moderate to heavy rain will be a concern, though PWATs are not overly impressive with NAEFS showing generally 1 to 2 standard deviations above normal. After this system moves out, we will get a brief break with storms exiting eastward Friday and a dry day Saturday. Temperatures will warm through the weekend before another front moves in Sunday bringing low PoPs and cooler temperatures. Lack of moisture will keep PoPs low early next week.
