MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 1988
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0345 AM CDT THU SEP 03 2009

AREAS AFFECTED...ERN OK

CONCERNING...HEAVY RAINFALL

VALID 030845Z - 031045Z

HEAVY RAIN AND HAIL WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER CELLS
EMBEDDED IN A BAND OF CONVECTION OVER NERN OK. RAINFALL RATES OF UP
TO 2 INCHES PER HOUR MAY OCCUR AS CELLS TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS
FOR SEVERAL HOURS EARLY THIS MORNING.

A STRONG WARM ADVECTION REGIME IS AGAIN IN PLACE EARLY THIS MORNING
ACROSS THE SRN PLAINS WITH A BAND OF STRONG STORMS LOCATED ALONG THE
ERN EDGE OF THE LOW-LEVEL JET. LIFT WITH THE JET AND LARGE-SCALE
ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER-LEVEL DISTURBANCE IN NERN OK WILL
LIKELY SUPPORT THE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH DAYBREAK. THE LATEST GPS PW
DATA IN ERN OK INDICATE A POCKET OF HIGHER MOISTURE CONTENT IS
PRESENT WITH PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES MAXIMIZED AT ABOUT 1.6
INCHES. THIS COMBINED WITH ABOUT 1000 J/KG OF MUCAPE ANALYZED BY THE
RUC SUGGESTS SOME OF THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD HAVE A
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL. IN ADDITION...THE LATEST FORECAST
SOUNDINGS SHOW STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES WHICH WILL BE SUFFICIENT
FOR HAIL. MODEL FORECASTS ARE IN AGREEMENT WEAKENING THE CONVECTION
SOMETIME AFTER DAYBREAK.
