Flash Flood and Hail in Oklahoma, March 14, 2024
Despite a rather nebulous/non-traditional synoptic regime for severe weather (evidence of rising mid/upper-level heights), numerous organized severe thunderstorms developed across portions of western-north Texas into south-central/southeast Oklahoma from the late morning into evening of the 14th. The impetus for convective development was a trailing cold front, extending from a departing system…

What happened
The episode as NWS OUN wrote it up.
Despite a rather nebulous/non-traditional synoptic regime for severe weather (evidence of rising mid/upper-level heights), numerous organized severe thunderstorms developed across portions of western-north Texas into south-central/southeast Oklahoma from the late morning into evening of the 14th. The impetus for convective development was a trailing cold front, extending from a departing system across the Great Lakes. The combination of solar insolation beneath cold temperatures aloft yielded strong instability, and with strong magnitudes of organizing wind shear, fostered development of numerous supercell thunderstorms. While wind shear over deep layers was quite strong, low-level wind shear was rather weak, promoting a favorable environment for large hail production. Numerous large to very large hailstones were noted across the southern county warning area during the afternoon into early evening. The most impactful event was a supercell storm that impacted the community of Ada, producing reports of hail as large as six inches in diameter, and leading to significant property damage.
What forecasters said that day

Area forecast discussion, Mar 14, 5:36 AM CST, 4 hours 51 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 636 AM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 226 AM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 The primary short-term forecast concern will be the potential for impactful storms to occur from late this morning through this evening across the southeastern quarter of our forecast area. All severe hazards will be possible, though very large hail and flooding will be the primary concerns. Regional surface observations show a sharp dryline across our area from Baylor County to Kiowa County, then bulging northeastward toward Grant County. At apex of this bulge, convection developed after 05Z and moved off into ICT's CWA. Similar development through daybreak is unlikely, but with a very moist and weakly capped environment it cannot be ruled out. The show should get going quite early today, with some potential for storm initiation to occur by 16Z/11:00 am CDT, though 17-18Z/12:00- 1:00 pm CDT seems more likely. By then, a cold front that can currently be found in the Panhandles and central KS will overtake the dryline bulge, and will be roughly oriented from near Kay County to Oklahoma County to Knox County. Roughly where the cold front/dryline intersection occurs, somewhere just south of the OKC metro, will be the likeliest spot for convection initiation. Initial thunderstorm development should be rather explosive, with most models showing a reservoir of 3,000 J/kg of MLCAPE and minimal capping. Given the presence of an impulse within the STJ showing up on short-range guidance as well as deep-layer shear/storm motions roughly parallel to the cold front, updraft crowding will likely occur pretty rapidly, with storms initially developing as supercells and by midafternoon coagulating into one or more multicell clusters. With comparatively cold temperatures aloft (-15C at 500 mb and -20C levels at about 19,000 feet), initial supercells will be able to produce hail efficiently, aided in part by 70 knots of cloud layer shear. Some of this hail may be very large with the potential for one or more reports of tennis-ball-sized stones. Hail production (and in particular the production of very large hail) will be tempered before too long by the number of updrafts; thus, the likeliest time for very large hail will be 1 to 3 hours after convection initiation. The tornado risk is highly conditional and will be largely dependent on storm-scale morphology. The background environment will be characterized by upwards of 100 J/kg of 0-3 km CAPE, which, in conjunction with a slow-moving front, might preferentially favor hybrid/stretching tornadogenesis within relatively discrete storms along the front early in the storm cycle. As more storms develop and cold pools merge, storms will be more dependent on the environment to provide streamwise vorticity. To this end, the low-level jet will be displaced to the east of our CWA, which is leading to rather small hodographs lacking streamwise vorticity (effective SRH will likely remain below 150 m^2/s^2). The tornado risk will probably be maximized across our far southeastern counties by mid-to-late afternoon, as models are showing some backing of the surface winds in the area. Damaging winds will also be possible within storm clusters as DCAPE values are expected to be around 1,100 J/kg and moist mid-levels will favor wet microbursts. In addition to severe hazards, heavy rainfall will be a concern as storms mature and move eastward. The saving grace from this perspective will be rather fast storm motion with some component off of the cold front, especially with multicell clusters. However, both the HRRR and NAM show PWATS in the 1.40-1.50 inch range in southeast Oklahoma - compared to OUN sounding climatology, this is essentially unprecedented in mid-March. Therefore, thunderstorms could produce heavy rain very efficiently and some areas may see excessive runoff occur rapidly. A renewed surge of the cold front as well as convective overturning of the atmosphere will reduce our storm risk as the clusters move out of our area around sundown. Widespread pressure rises and breezy north winds will bring in much drier and cooler air for our lows tonight. Meister && .LONG TERM... (Friday through Wednesday) Issued at 226 AM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 The primary forecast challenge in the long-term is to delineate the potential for periods of rain (and maybe a few embedded thunderstorms) to occur between Friday and Sunday in our area. There appear to be two primary windows where this may occur: -Tomorrow during the morning across western north Texas and in the afternoon across western Oklahoma. This will occur in response to increasing 700 mb warm advection. Rain totals will be light outside of embedded thunderstorms. -Saturday afternoon through Saturday night across western north Texas and far southern Oklahoma, in response to an ejecting wave from the cutoff low to our west. Rainfall totals may be higher from this event (possibly up to half an inch). Otherwise, temperatures will remain "cool" (at or near or seasonal averages) from tomorrow through Monday. Further periods of rain may occur early next week as the cutoff low finally attempts to eject, and temperatures should begin to rise back above normal beginning on Tuesday. Meister && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 632 AM CDT Thu Mar 14 2024 MVFR cigs expected in moist sector/east of dryline this morning, especially near and east of KLAW/KOKC/KPNC, before mixing out west to east in the first 2 to 4 hours of forecast. MVFR cigs expected to last much of the day at KDUA. Will confine mention of TSRA to KDUA this afternoon into the evening. Northerly wind shift will make quicker progress than previously forecast, but stronger north winds will spread over region this evening and overnight as lower level ridge surges south. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
