Area forecast discussion, May 24, 2:09 PM CST, 3 hours 10 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 309 PM CDT Fri May 24 2019 .DISCUSSION... Scattered showers and thunderstorms continue to form, mainly along and north of a surface front. Part of the boundary has shifted northward this morning where instability is increasing and updrafts are more vigorous. As heating continues through the afternoon, more numerous storms will develop, especially from west central to north central Oklahoma. Although severe storms will be possible, perhaps the greater risk will be heavy rainfall and flash flooding. It is certainly possible that another 3 to 5 inches of rainfall could occur this afternoon into tonight. If this happens across north central/central Oklahoma, life- threatening flash flooding will be likely given antecedent conditions. There may be an overall decrease in convection late tonight into Saturday morning as low level winds veer and decrease some. Convective develop Saturday and Sunday should mainly be over the higher terrain to our west which will impact parts of western Oklahoma and northern Oklahoma during the evening and overnight hours. Coverage may be greater on Sunday as models suggest a more pronounced wave will approach the southern and central Plains. Unfortunately, some of the storms over the weekend will produce heavy rainfall amounts which will likely result in additional flooding. There may be a lull in storms on Monday, but another trough will approach the area Tuesday into Wednesday. Severe storms and more flooding will be a concern during this period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
