What happened

The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.

Multiple rounds of severe weather produced reports of thunderstorm wind, large hail and flash flooding across central into southern Oklahoma on the 4th into the early morning hours of the 5th. The first convective episode began just after midnight on the 4th when a (strong) warm air advection pattern commenced across central into southern Oklahoma. Initial activity slowly organized into a line of storms, progressing across central and southern Oklahoma. Reports of small hail and thunderstorm wind damage occurred. Localized heavy rainfall from the southern Oklahoma City Metropolitan area into southeast Oklahoma also fostered flash flooding. A briefly organized thunderstorm occurred behind this complex (across the Oklahoma City Metropolitan area) and produced a few reports of large hail towards sunrise. By the evening, a second round of organized convection developed across the eastern two-thirds of Oklahoma, fostered by the approach of a more substantial upper wave (i.e., increased deep-layer wind shear combined with continued strong instability). Additional damaging wind and large hail reports were observed with this round, along with renewed concern for localized flash flooding, especially across the southern suburbs of the Oklahoma City Metropolitan area.

...New AVIATION...

.UPDATE...
Issued at 912 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024

POPS over central and southeastern Oklahoma have been increased
from late this evening into mid-morning Tuesday. There is some
persistence in signals for scattered thunderstorms to develop in
a warm-advection regime across parts of central Oklahoma around
midnight. Some of these could produce large hail and strong wind
gusts.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(This evening through Tuesday)
Issued at 154 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024

Storm potential this evening will transition from southwest
Oklahoma/western north Texas to the northeast, as several members of
the 12Z HREF depict thunderstorm development in central Oklahoma
between sunset and midnight. This appears to be triggered by an
elevated warm front along the leading edge of the LLJ, as MUCAPE
rises to near 4,000 J/kg late in the evening. Bulk shear will be
sufficient for the development of likely elevated supercells
initially, which will pose a threat for large to very large hail
near the OKC metro. Thereafter, the continued strengthening of the
low-level jet will likely induce further convection initiation
and the development of an MCS, which guidance shows moving south-
southeast into south central Oklahoma with more of a risk for
damaging wind gusts. All of this remains lower-confidence, but
sufficient signal and meteorological reasoning exists for us to
keep a close watch on this potential round of storms.

One thing you learn in this area and in this time of year is to
never say "Tomorrow will be dry". But... at least for now, there is
an indication of weakening of deep-layer flow and potentially no
obvious boundaries to initiate convection tomorrow afternoon. Most
guidance indicates a rather warm-to-hot day with highs in the low
90s to low 100s. There's some reason to be doubtful given the
widespread rain today, but this would just turn the day more humid
rather than more pleasant.

A breath of northwest flow returns into our area tomorrow night, so
another MCS will likely occur sometime overnight mostly north of I-
40. We'll get those details locked down as uncertainty gets reduced.

.LONG TERM...
(Tuesday night through next Sunday)
Issued at 154 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024

This is an especially difficult long-term AFD to write, because,
well... it's especially difficult to figure out what's going to
happen beginning on Wednesday.

A powerful mid-latitude jet will eject into the northern Plains
during the day on Wednesday, which will be the primary driver of
this uncertainty. It will create a northeast-to-southwest dipole,
with an unseasonably strong (594 dam) ridge across the Staked Plains
and an unseasonably strong (549 dam) trough across the Upper Great
Lakes. Between that, we'll find ourselves right on the northeastern
fringe of the ridge. This could play out in a couple of different
ways - either we could end up with just enough northwest flow to
keep nightly MCSs moving into our area, especially the northeast
portion, or we could end up hot and dry. We could end up both - June
2023 in Wichita Falls was hot and dry even while OKC and points
north were repeatedly receiving heavy rainfall and cooler
temperatures. Right now, I'd lean towards using the experience from
2023 and the last few weeks here in 2024 where chances for storms
have largely overperformed model guidance rather than vice versa.
This might signal a somewhat more active and cooler than normal end
to the week and weekend, especially further north and east in our
area.
