New hazardous weather outlook from National Weather Service, Norman Forecast Office
THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK COVERS NORTHERN…WESTERN…
CENTRAL…AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA…AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS.
.DAY ONE…THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT…
THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK…
THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT.
DISCUSSION…
A STRONGLY DEEPENING LEE TROUGH WILL PROMOTE GUSTY SOUTHERLY WINDS
OVER THE PLAINS TODAY. RETURN OF GULF MOISTURE…HOWEVER…WILL BE
DELAYED BY A FRONT LINGERING IN THE CENTRAL GULF. DESPITE STRONG
AFTERNOON HEATING…INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN VERY WEAK…AND
THUNDERSTORMS ARE NOT EXPECTED.
PROBABILITY TABLE…
VALID THROUGH 700 AM CDT THURSDAY APR 29.
PROBABILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING IN THE
NWS NORMAN COUNTY WARNING AREA…LESS THAN 5 PERCENT.
OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER…
STRONG SOUTH WINDS THROUGH TONIGHT…WILL RESULT IN DIFFICULT
DRIVING CONDITIONS.. ESPECIALLY ON EAST TO WEST ORIENTED ROADS.
PLEASE SEE THE WIND ADVISORY FOR ADDITIONAL DETAILS.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN…THURSDAY THROUGH TUESDAY…
THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK…
ON THURSDAY…STRONG HEATING AND A GRADUAL INCREASE OF GULF MOISTURE
WILL RESULT IN WEAK INSTABILITY…AHEAD OF A LOOSELY DEFINED DRYLINE
IN WESTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. VERY DRY AIR ABOVE THE
LOW LEVEL CLOUD BASE…AND A LACK OF STRONG LIFTING…WILL KEEP THE
CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS VERY LOW THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING. IF ONE OR
TWO THUNDERSTORMS CAN FORM AND PERSIST IN THE ENVIRONMENT AHEAD OF
THE DRYLINE…THERE WILL BE A RISK OF HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. MOST
OF THE THUNDERSTORMS THAT OCCUR THURSDAY NIGHT…HOWEVER…WILL BE
FOCUSED ALONG A COLD FRONT IN KANSAS…WHILE OTHER…WIDELY
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS MAY FORM WITHIN THE LOW LEVEL JET OVER
OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. STORMS FORMING IN THIS MANNER
WOULD BE ROOTED WELL ABOVE THE GROUND…THUS MINIMIZING INSTABILITY.
THE MAIN HAZARDS WOULD BE SMALL HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BECOME MORE LIKELY EARLY FRIDAY MORNING…AS THE
COLD FRONT REACHES NORTHERN OKLAHOMA…AND AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH
EJECTS FROM THE SOUTHERN ROCKIES TOWARD THE RED RIVER. ALTHOUGH THE
COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE FRIDAY MORNING…IT
CURRENTLY APPEARS THAT MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE ROOTED WELL
ABOVE THE SURFACE…WHICH WILL MINIMIZE INSTABILITY. ISOLATED SEVERE
WEATHER COULD OCCUR…ESPECIALLY IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA…AS STORMS
BECOME ROOTED CLOSER TO THE SURFACE BY MID MORNING TO EARLY
AFTERNOON.
BY FRIDAY NIGHT…THE FRONT WILL STALL ACROSS CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST
TEXAS. A SECOND UPPER LEVEL TROUGH IS FORECAST TO EJECT TO THE NORTH
OF THE FRONT ON SATURDAY AND SATURDAY EVENING. THIS WILL PRODUCE
STRONG LIFT…AND PULL SOME MOISTURE BACK NORTHWARD…RESULTING IN
ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS…WITH LIGHTNING AND SMALL HAIL THE
MAIN HAZARDS. IN THE PERIOD SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY…THE WEATHER
PATTERN SUNDAY MAY SUPPORT ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS…BUT THE CHANCE
OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE LOW.
OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER…
THE STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS ARE FORECAST TO PERSIST INTO THURSDAY.
VORTEX2 TORNADO STUDY ENTERS SECOND YEAR OF DATA COLLECTION
VORTEX2 TORNADO STUDY ENTERS SECOND YEAR OF DATA COLLECTION
The Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment – 2 will begin its second year of data collection on May 1 and run through June 15. VORTEX2 is the largest tornado research project in history to explore how, when and why tornadoes form.
NOAA and the National Science Foundation are sponsoring more than 100 scientists, students and staff from around the world to collect weather data around and under a supercell thunderstorm. VORTEX2 teams are using a fleet of 10 mobile radars and 70 other instruments all equipped with cutting edge communication and computer technologies. Much about tornadoes remains a mystery, and researchers hope this data will help them better understand tornadoes and lead to further improvements in tornado warning skill.
During 2009 operations, the VORTEX2 armada roamed more than 10,000 miles across the southern and central Plains from May 10-June 13. Data were collected on 11 supercells, including one tornadic supercell.
