732 FXUS64 KOUN 060927 AFDOUN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Norman OK 427 AM CDT Mon May 6 2024 ...New SHORT TERM... .SHORT TERM... (Today and tonight) Issued at 424 AM CDT Mon May 6 2024 Added a small area of dense fog across our far southeast CWA within an already existing area of fog extending generally east of I-35. Visibility`s reduced between 1/2 to 1/4 of a mile in the dense fog area. Can`t rule out a potential advisory for dense fog by mid-morning but will hold off for now and continue monitoring the trend. && .LONG TERM... (Tuesday through Sunday) Issued at 203 AM CDT Mon May 6 2024 Storms will be out of our area before sunrise Tuesday morning, with mostly sunny skies expected through the day with highs in the low 80s. Models show another shortwave moving into the plains on Wednesday as moisture attempts to move back northward into our southeast counties. As of now the flow is expected to veer across much of our area through the day Wednesday, which should push the better moisture eastward and confine any thunderstorm chances to our eastern/southeastern counties. Instability and shear will support severe weather with these storms, with large hail and damaging wind gusts the main threat. After Wednesday the synoptic pattern appears to transition to one much less favorable for severe weather, with high pressure to our north confining the deeper moisture well to our south into the weekend. This should finally give our area a bit of a break, although we will not completely dry out as rain chances (non-severe) return to the area Saturday into Sunday. Ware && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1038 PM CDT Sun May 5 2024 IFR-MVFR conditions expected overnight through at least 14-16Z most terminals. Dense fog/LIFR appears most likely around KPNC and KSWO north of developing warm front. Moisture return will keep at least MVFR going most if not all day ahead of dryline. Will introduce +TSRA to northern and central Oklahoma terminals, with TEMPO at KPNC/KSWO where coverage is expected to be greater after 00Z. Gusty south winds will veer to southwest/west toward end of forecast behind dryline/Pac-front. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
