Damaging Wind in Oklahoma, August 16, 2021

Area Forecast Discussion

...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 327 PM CDT Mon Aug 16 2021

Weak upper trough will continue to move south across the area
this afternoon and tonight. There will be a chance to see
scattered convection mainly along and ahead of this trough axis.
Flow remains rather weak through a deep layer, so convection will
be slow-moving and will pose a heavy rainfall threat. Sufficient
instability will also be present for the potential for a few
strong to marginally severe storms to linger into the early
evening hours. The best chance for this will be across west. May
be enough to support a few shower/storms throughout the night.

This trough will continue to move slowly south during the day
Tuesday with best rain chances across the south/southeast.
Although can not count out an isolated storm just about anywhere,
especially by afternoon. Main impacts from any storm will be heavy
rainfall as again the activity will be slow-moving.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 327 PM CDT Mon Aug 16 2021

A weakness in the mid/upper-level pattern will remain in place
across the Southern Plains through this week. Shortwave troughs
(some subtle) embedded within the weakness and juxtaposed with a
moist, weakly-capped atmosphere will continue to provide a daily
chance for convection. Residual mesoscale features (e.g., outflow
boundaries and MCVs) will also provide the focus for subsequent
convective development.

The most significant shortwave trough is progged to move through
on Thursday, which is currently the day that has the highest
probability for convection. Precipitable water values are also
progged to increase Thursday and Friday (~1.8 to 2.2"), so the
primary hazard with any thunderstorms will be heavy
rainfall/flooding. Intense cores may also result in
downbursts/gusty winds as storms collapse. Temperatures during the
period will remain slightly below seasonal averages.

By late in the weekend into early next week, the ~595 dam mid-
level ridge across the southeast U.S. will shift/expand to the
west. As this occurs, seasonably hot and dry weather is progged by
early next week. Even the 90th percentile NBM QPFs drop off
markedly by early next week, which indicates ensemble members are
in general agreement of a drier pattern.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 627 PM CDT Mon Aug 16 2021

Isolated diurnal convection will decrease later this evening.
Until then TAF sites may be impacted. Latest radar shows
developing convection and recent lightning strikes near OKC and
SWO. A storm cannot totally be ruled out at OUN, PNC and SPS but
is low enough probability at this time to not mention. Additional
isolated convection is expected tomorrow afternoon toward the end
of the TAF period. Otherwise southeast winds will prevail with VFR
conditions likely.
