Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 5:09 PM CST, 1 hour 11 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 609 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2019 .AVIATION... Main concern for TAFs will be the possibility of an area of storms forming in Kansas and the panhandles and sweeping down across western Oklahoma into north Texas overnight, though there is still some uncertainty as the the area and timing. Outside of convection, expect VFR conditions and light southerly to southeasterly winds. Day && .PREV DISCUSSION... /issued 339 PM CDT Sat Jun 1 2019/ DISCUSSION... A small cluster of storms that moved across central Oklahoma this afternoon, will continue to move southeast. Gusty winds and heavy rainfall can be expected. An outflow boundary continues to push southward across southwest Oklahoma and eastern parts of the Texas Panhandle. Scattered thunderstorms are developing along and just north of this boundary. Depending on afternoon development, most of the storms across western north Texas and western Oklahoma should decrease in intensity this evening. Better storm organization may occur over the High Plains. Storms should organize and move southeast and impact parts of western Oklahoma and western north Texas late this evening and overnight. Storm development along a cold front in southern Kansas appears more questionable. The forecast area will generally remain on the eastern side of a shortwave ridge through early next week. Therefore, additional thunderstorm complexes may impact the area, generally during the late evening and overnight hours. Locally heavy rainfall and perhaps some flooding will be possible. A trough will approach the area around Wednesday/Thursday of next week. Widespread showers and storms with heavy rainfall will be possible during this period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

Gusty winds and heavy rainfall will occur with the stronger storms. Some intensification may occur during the afternoon, especially across west central and southwest Oklahoma. Thunderstorms are expected to develop over the High Plains of eastern Colorado, western Kansas and the western panhandles this afternoon and move east and southeast potentially reaching portions of western Oklahoma and western north Texas early this evening. Storms will become more widespread overnight. The primary threat will be strong and potentially damaging winds with these storms, although some large hail may also occur.
