    Fairly large bow echo moving through Western OK now. Winds 60 mph or so with it. It is currently about 65 miles away. Individual cells are moving NE at 50, but the overall line is only moving east about 30. So looking like this will start to hit the I-35 corridor around 6AMish. Leave early for work if you are going to get caught in this.

    VALID 191200Z - 201200Z

    ...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER MUCH OF CNTRL AND NERN TX
    INTO FAR SERN OK...

    ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FOR MUCH OF THE SRN PLAINS NWD
    INTO THE MID MO RIVER VALLEY...

    ...SYNOPSIS...
    AN EXPANSIVE FULL LATITUDE UPPER TROUGH WILL OVERSPREAD THE SRN AND
    CNTRL PLAINS ON MONDAY WITH MERIDIONAL STYLE FLOW REGIME. SLY LOW
    LEVEL FLOW WILL PERSIST THROUGHOUT THE PERIOD AHEAD OF A COLD
    FRONT...RESULTING IN AMPLE MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY FOR WIDESPREAD
    THUNDERSTORMS FROM TX INTO MN AND WI. THIS FRONT IS FORECAST TO
    EXTEND FROM WRN/CNTRL OK INTO WRN N TX EARLY MON...BUT SHOULD STALL
    ACROSS CNTRL TX.

    MULTIPLE EPISODES OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED ACROSS THE
    SRN PLAINS...AND THERE IS A WIDE VARIETY OF MODEL SOLUTIONS.
    HOWEVER...IT APPEARS CONSENSUS IS FOR WIDESPREAD SEVERE STORMS
    CENTERED OVER THE MDT RISK AREA...FROM CNTRL/NERN TX INTO SERN OK.

    ELSEWHERE...A WEAK DISTURBANCE IS FORECAST TO REMAIN OVER
    OH/PA/WV...WITH ISOLATED HAIL OR WIND POSSIBLE FROM DIURNALLY DRIVEN
    STORMS.

    ...TX INTO OK AND THE ARKLATEX REGION...
    A COMPLICATED CONVECTIVE DAY WILL UNFOLD ON MONDAY. UNCERTAINTIES
    BEGIN EARLY IN THE MORNING IN RELATION TO WHERE A SQUALL LINE...NOW
    OVER WRN TX...WILL BE LOCATED...AND HOW MUCH COLD POOL AND
    STABILIZATION WILL OCCUR WITH THIS SYSTEM. MODELS GENERALLY SUGGEST
    THIS LINE WILL BE OVER W CNTRL OK INTO WRN N TX AT 12Z...WITH SRN
    END NEAR I-20. THIS ACTIVITY WILL BE IN A STRONGLY SHEARED
    ENVIRONMENT...AND STRONG TO SEVERE WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN
    ADDITION TO SOME HAIL. THIS ACTIVITY MAY REJUVENATE OVER ERN OK/NERN
    TX WITH A STRONG 50 KT LOW LEVEL JET FEEDING INTO THAT AREA. LATER
    IN THE AFTERNOON IN THIS SAME GENERAL VICINITY...ADDITIONAL
    DEVELOPMENT FUELED BY WARM ADVECTION MAY OCCUR WITH CONVECTION
    ALLOWING MODELS DEPICTING ISOLATED SUPERCELLS. SHEAR WOULD FAVOR
    DAMAGING WINDS AND A FEW TORNADOES.

    THE GREATEST SEVERE THREAT SHOULD BE DURING THE AFTERNOON AND INTO
    THE EVENING OVER MUCH OF CNTRL TX. AS OF THIS WRITING...THIS AREA
    SHOULD BE S OF THE MORNING ACTIVITY...AND ON THE INTERFACE OF STRONG
    HEATING PROGGED OVER WRN/W CNTRL TX. FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW STEEP
    LAPSE RATES ALOFT...STRONG INSTABILITY...AND AMPLE DEEP LAYER SHEAR
    FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER INCLUDING VERY LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING
    WINDS AND TORNADOES. ISOLATED STRONG TORNADOES MAY OCCUR...BUT WILL
    DEFER POSSIBLE SIGNIFICANT TORNADO PROBABILITIES TO LATER OUTLOOKS
    GIVEN UNCERTAINTIES WITH LOW LEVEL FLOW AND BOUNDARY LOCATIONS.

    CONVECTIVE COVERAGE WILL ONLY INCREASE OVERNIGHT WITH COUPLED JET
    STRUCTURE ALOFT LIKELY RESULTING IN A LARGE MCS WITH SEVERE WEATHER
    AND FLOODING RAIN.

    As far as I'm concerned, the closer we get to April, that's a good thing.

    When I was a kid, April was the month that used to scare me to death for storms. I know the "bigger" season statistically is May, but, for whatever reason, April was the month of dread in my book. Used to dread the "beep" tone on Channel 4, and certainly the gravely squawk they'd play in threes over on Ch 9...

    day 1 convective outlook
    nws storm prediction center norman ok
    1252 am cdt thu mar 29 2012

    valid 291200z - 301200z

    ...there is a slgt risk of svr tstms for the mid/lower-mo valley
    swwd to the far ern tx panhandle...

    ...synopsis...
    A weak upper-level trough from the nrn rockies to the lower co
    valley will move ewd and likely extend from the nrn to the srn high
    plains by 00z/fri. This will displace the ridge currently extending
    across most of the plains to the ms valley and eventually to the
    great lakes/midwest. Primary surface cyclone should develop into the
    mid-mo valley this afternoon with a pair of attendant troughs
    extending nwd into the ern dakotas and swwd into the tx panhandle.
    Arcing warm front should gradually retreat newd across nrn mo and
    into far srn ia during the evening.

    ...lower/mid-mo valley to the srn high plains...
    A marginal risk for severe hail will likely exist during the morning
    with lingering elevated convection ne of the warm front in the
    lower/mid-mo valley. Surface-based tstm development should be
    relatively more widespread across the cntrl/srn plains compared to
    wed afternoon owing to favorable timing of a broad upper-level
    trough approaching the cntrl conus. Large-scale ascent associated
    with this trough and convergence along the aforementioned surface
    boundaries should prove sufficient for removal of a capping
    eml...resulting in isolated to scattered tstms forming across ern
    neb/ks during the late afternoon/early evening.

    Steep mid-level lapse rates along with surface heating will
    contribute to large potential instability with mlcape likely
    reaching 2000-3000 j/kg from sern neb into wrn ok. A strengthening
    kinematic profile that veers with height should initially yield
    supercells capable of very large hail. With time...conglomeration of
    cellular cold pools could yield upscale growth into an mcs shifting
    ewd into parts of mo and srn ia with risks for severe hail/wind and
    perhaps a tornado or two.

    Farther sw...guidance is fairly consistent that in the evening...one
    or more areas of convective clusters should form along the surface
    trough extending towards the tx panhandle and perhaps swd along the
    dryline in wrn tx. Have extended slight risk probabilities swwd
    towards the red river on the fringe of moderate mid-level wlys.

    SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH NUMBER 116
    NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
    535 PM CDT THU MAR 29 2012

    THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A
    SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF

    EAST CENTRAL INTO SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS
    NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA

    EFFECTIVE THIS THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING FROM 535 PM UNTIL
    1000 PM CDT.

    WIDELY SCATTERED DAMAGING WINDS TO 70 MPH
    WIDELY SCATTERED LARGE HAIL TO 2.0 INCHES IN DIAMETER
    ISOLATED TORNADOES

    THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AREA IS APPROXIMATELY ALONG AND 45
    STATUTE MILES EAST AND WEST OF A LINE FROM 15 MILES NORTH
    NORTHWEST OF TOPEKA KANSAS TO 35 MILES SOUTH SOUTHEAST OF GAGE
    OKLAHOMA. FOR A COMPLETE DEPICTION OF THE WATCH SEE THE
    ASSOCIATED WATCH OUTLINE UPDATE (WOUS64 KWNS WOU6).

    REMEMBER...A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH MEANS CONDITIONS ARE
    FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH
    AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
    THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
    AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CAN AND OCCASIONALLY
    DO PRODUCE TORNADOES.

    OTHER WATCH INFORMATION...CONTINUE...WW 115...

    DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN
    COVERAGE/INTENSITY ALONG A SURFACE DRYLINE IN NW OK...AND AS THE
    DRYLINE IS OVERTAKEN BY A COLD FRONT INTO CENTRAL KS. MODERATE
    INSTABILITY IS PRESENT IN ADVANCE OF THE BOUNDARIES...WHERE STRONG
    SURFACE HEATING AND FOCUSED LOW-LEVEL ASCENT ARE WEAKENING
    CONVECTIVE INHIBITION. DEEP-LAYER VERTICAL SHEAR IS ON THE LOWER
    MARGINS FOR SUSTAINED SUPERCELLS /PRIMARILY IN KS/...BUT THE
    MODERATE INSTABILITY/STEEP LAPSE RATES WILL SUPPORT A RISK FOR LARGE
    HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. THE SEVERE
    THREAT SHOULD PEAK BY LATE EVENING...AND THEN DECREASE BY 02-03Z AS
    THE BOUNDARY LAYER BEGINS TO COOL AND THE CAP AGAIN STRENGTHENS.

    AVIATION...A FEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WITH HAIL SURFACE AND ALOFT
    TO 2 INCHES. EXTREME TURBULENCE AND SURFACE WIND GUSTS TO 60
    KNOTS. A FEW CUMULONIMBI WITH MAXIMUM TOPS TO 500. MEAN STORM
    MOTION VECTOR 27020.

    MIDWEST THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

    ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FOR PARTS OF THE SRN PLAINS
    THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT...

    ...SYNOPSIS...
    A MID-LEVEL IMPULSE EMBEDDED IN A PROGRESSIVE WLY FLOW REGIME WILL
    SHIFT EWD ACROSS THE CORN BELT TO THE LOWER GREAT LAKES/UPPER OH
    VALLEY BY THIS EVENING. ASSOCIATED SURFACE CYCLONE WILL TRACK FROM
    NWRN MO INTO CNTRL IND THIS AFTERNOON AND REACH SWRN PA BY EARLY
    SAT. WARM FRONT OVER THE MID-MS/TN VALLEYS WILL ADVANCE NEWD ACROSS
    THE OH VALLEY. TRAILING WEAK COLD FRONT IN THE WAKE OF THE SURFACE
    CYCLONE SHOULD BECOME QUASI-STATIONARY ACROSS THE OZARK PLATEAU WWD
    ALONG THE KS/OK BORDER. THE DRYLINE SHOULD MIX INTO CNTRL TX BY
    AFTERNOON.

    ...MIDWEST/OH VALLEY...
    IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE PROGRESSIVE IMPULSE MOVING INTO THE
    MIDWEST...SWLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW AND NEWD ADVANCE OF THE WARM FRONT
    SHOULD RESULT IN A CORRIDOR OF MIDDLE 50S TO LOWER 60S SURFACE DEW
    POINTS SPREADING NEWD ACROSS THE OH VALLEY. WITH THE FRINGE OF THE
    PLAINS EML AND ATTENDANT STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES OVERSPREADING
    THE REGION AS WELL...THIS SETUP WILL LIKELY YIELD MODERATE
    INSTABILITY WITHIN THE WARM SECTOR WITH MLCAPE REACHING 1000 TO 2000
    J/KG. WITH 700-500 MB WLYS AOA 30 KT FROM THE OH VALLEY
    NWD...ENVIRONMENT WILL BE CONDUCIVE TO SUPERCELLS PRODUCING
    PRIMARILY LARGE HAIL WITH SECONDARY THREATS FOR DAMAGING WINDS AND
    PERHAPS A TORNADO OR TWO. TSTM INITIATION APPEARS PROBABLE BY 21Z
    ACROSS PARTS OF ERN IL INTO IND...WITH ACTIVITY POTENTIALLY GROWING
    UPSCALE WITH ERN EXTENT AND BACKBUILDING SWWD ALONG THE OH VALLEY.

    ...SRN PLAINS...
    ALTHOUGH CONVECTIVE COVERAGE AND LOCATION APPEARS NEBULOUS WITH
    ILL-DEFINED FORCING MECHANISMS ALOFT...A VERY UNSTABLE AIR MASS IS
    EXPECTED TO BE SITUATED ACROSS A LARGE PART OF THE SRN PLAINS. WITH
    VERY STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES...MLCAPE OF 2500-4000 J/KG SHOULD
    BECOME COMMON BETWEEN A QUASI-STATIONARY WIND SHIFT INVOF THE KS/OK
    BORDER AND THE DRYLINE MIXING INTO CNTRL TX. NAM AND ASSOCIATED
    CONVECTION-ALLOWING GUIDANCE...ALONG WITH THE SREF AND GFS SUGGEST
    ISOLATED TSTMS MAY FORM AROUND PEAK HEATING AS CIN IS MINIMIZED.
    ALTHOUGH FLOW THROUGHOUT THE KINEMATIC PROFILE MAY REMAIN
    MODEST...SUBSTANTIAL VEERING WITH HEIGHT SHOULD RESULT IN SUFFICIENT
    EFFECTIVE SHEAR FOR SUPERCELLS GIVEN THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY.
    SHOULD STORMS FORM...VERY LARGE HAIL WOULD BE THE PRIMARY THREAT AND
    WILL INTRODUCE A BROAD LOW-COVERAGE SLIGHT RISK TO ACCOUNT FOR THE
    SPATIAL UNCERTAINTY.

  17. Default Re: Oklahoma Severe Weather Discussion - March 2012

    Developing storm in far western Garvin County between Purdy and Lindsay. Nothing major yet, but we'll watch it. Anything that happens to get cranking could drop some monster hail so we need to stay alert.

    Tomorrow should be pretty quick and then we'll transition to the April thread. There are a lot of major changes in the layout of the April thread, so please give feedback. It is probably going to load a little slow due to the radar animations but I did want to get a lot of good information in there. For best viewing it will need to be viewed on a widescreen monitor, but those tend to be standard anyway.
