AREA WEATHER UPDATE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
945 PM CDT FRI MAY 15 2009
…WARNING DECISION UPDATE…
THIS WARNING DECISION UPDATE CONCERNS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.
LACK OF REPORTS AND DECREASING RADAR VELOCITIES HAVE PROMPTED A
TRANSITION TO SIGNIFICANT WEATHER ADVISORIES VERSUS SEVERE
THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS. GUST FRONTS HAVE OUTRUN MOST OF THE LINES
SUGGESTING A DECREASED WIND THREAT…THOUGH JUST BELOW SEVERE
CRITERION.
EAST-WEST LINE NORTH OF METRO WILL CONTINUE TO DRIFT
SOUTH AND POSE A LOCALIZED FLOOD THREAT…ESPECIALLY IN URBAN AREAS.
BEST CHANCE FOR RENEWED WIND THREAT WILL BE ASSOCIATED WITH AREAS
NEAR AND SOUTH OF INTERSECTION OF NORTH-SOUTH BOW AND EAST-WEST
LINE. THIS IS THE REGION WHERE REMANTS OF PREVIOUS CYCLONIC VORTEX
ARE LOCATED. SHOULD THIS CIRCULATION INTENSIFY OR VELOCITIES
INCREASE WE COULD RETURN TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNINGS IN THESE
REGIONS AS THEY TRACK SOUTHEAST.
