NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1045 PM CDT Sat Aug 24 2019
Areas affected...Northwest/north-central Oklahoma
Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible
Valid 250345Z - 250545Z
Probability of Watch Issuance...40 percent
SUMMARY...An isolated severe hail/wind risk will exist across
northwest Oklahoma late this evening, although the primary severe
potential may not occur until overnight across northern Oklahoma. A
watch issuance is uncertain in the short term, but one could be
needed late tonight/overnight.
DISCUSSION...A small cluster of storms has shown recent signs of
intensification near and just north of the Kansas/Oklahoma state
line, roughly 50 miles south of Dodge City or 50 miles northwest of
Woodward, OK as of 1030 PM CDT. This activity is occurring near the
anvil edge of other storms farther north across southwest Kansas,
with all of this activity influenced by the southern edge of a
southeastward-moving shortwave trough across western Kansas.
Low-level inhibition has increased this evening across northwest
Oklahoma as the boundary layer has cooled, although a corridor of
ample low-level moisture/instability persists. It is possible that
the storms moving into northwest Oklahoma further intensify/organize
over the next hour or so, but at this time, it appears any related
hail/wind risk may remain fairly localized. Short-term convective
trends will continue to be monitored, but a relatively higher severe
potential may not occur across a broader part of northern Oklahoma
until the overnight hours as an MCS moves south-southeastward across
central Kansas.
