NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
0332 PM CDT Tue Jun 18 2019
Areas affected...North central Oklahoma
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 182032Z - 182130Z
CORRECTED FOR GRAPHIC
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...Storms are developing along a confluence zone in north
central Oklahoma. A watch may be needed.
DISCUSSION...An area of towering cumulus extends along the I-35
corridor from the Kansas border to just north of Oklahoma City.
Storms have started to develop in Grant and Garfield counties with
signs in visible satellite imagery that additional storm development
may occur farther south along the line. Do not expect any
development south of I-40/I-44 given the weaker low-level confluence
with southern extent.
A modified 18Z LMN sounding shows MLCAPE around 1500 J/kg and
effective shear around 25 knots. This would support some storm
organization with a combination of multicell and isolated supercell
storm mode.
Areas north of the OK/KS border are covered by tornado watch 395,
but a small severe thunderstorm watch may be needed to cover the
severe threat from these storms.
