NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0139 PM CDT SUN SEP 20 2026
AREAS AFFECTED...SOUTH-CENTRAL INTO EAST-CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH UNLIKELY
VALID 201839Z - 202045Z
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...20 PERCENT
SUMMARY...DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED, MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL MAY
OCCUR WITH THE STRONGEST STORMS THIS AFTERNOON. THE SPATIAL EXTENT
OF SEVERE POTENTIAL MAY REMAIN ISOLATED. THE NEED FOR A WATCH IS
UNCERTAIN AND TRENDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE MONITORED THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON.
DISCUSSION...CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY HAS BEEN INCREASING WITHIN THE
SURFACE TROUGH IN CENTRAL/EASTERN OKLAHOMA. A RECENT TAMDAR SOUNDING
FROM TUL SUGGEST MLCIN REMAINS OWING TO SOME CLOUD COVER; HOWEVER,
MLCIN SHOULD SLOWLY WEAKEN WITH TIME AS HAS BEEN NOTED WITHIN THE
OUCHITA MOUNTAINS ON VISIBLE SATELLITE. THE KINX VAD SHOWS A
RELATIVELY DISORGANIZED WIND PROFILE. MORE FAVORABLE WIND PROFILES
ARE LIKELY TO REMAIN DISPLACED FROM THE BETTER THERMODYNAMIC
ENVIRONMENT. EVEN SO, AROUND 25-30 KT OF EFFECTIVE SHEAR WILL STILL
BE IN PLACE DUE TO THE WEAK MID-LEVEL PERTURBATION IN TO THE
IMMEDIATE WEST. MODERATELY STEEP LOW-LEVEL LAPSE RATES AND A
WELL-MIXED BOUNDARY LAYER WILL MEAN DAMAGING WIND POTENTIAL WITH THE
STRONGEST STORMS. GIVEN THE OBSERVED 7 C/KM MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES,
ISOLATED MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL MAY ALSO OCCUR. WHILE WIDELY
SCATTERED TO SCATTERED COVERAGE WILL EVENTUALLY EVOLVED, THE OVERALL
SEVERITY OF THIS ACTIVITY IS NOT CERTAIN GIVEN THE EXPECTED
DISORGANIZED MODES.
