Area forecast discussion, Jul 28, 9:50 PM CDT, 4 hours 19 minutes before
EASTERN OKLAHOMA/NORTHWEST ARKANSAS FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK 950 PM CDT FRI JUL 28 2000 WELL DEFINED VORTICITY MAXIMUM CENTERED NEAR WICHITA AT THIS TIME WILL MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN ARKANSAS TONIGHT AND EARLY SATURDAY. EARLIER SQUALL LINE IN SOUTHERN KANSAS HAS DISSIPATED BUT ISOLATED LARGE SEVERE STORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY IN NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. HASKELL PROFILER HAS TAKEN ON QUITE AN IMPRESSIVE LOOK DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS AND FLOW LOOKS JUST SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT SUPERCELLULAR STORMS SUCH AS THE ONE CURRENTLY IN NOBLE COUNTY. APPEARS THIS STORM IS MOVING HARD RIGHT AND MAY STAY WEST OF OUR FORECAST AREA. INSTABILITY AXIS RUNS FROM WEST TO SOUTH OF TULSA SO STILL A CHANCE FOR AN ISOLATED SUPERCELL TO FORM OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS SOMEWHERE IN THE CREEK/OKFUSKEE/OKMULGEE/MCINTOSH COUNTIES AREA. SHOWERS AND STORMS STARTING TO INCREASE AS WELL FURTHER EAST AND THIS TREND IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE. IT LOOKS LIKE MOST ALL OF NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA WILL SEE RAIN OVERNIGHT BUT AREAS NORTHWEST OF INTERSTATE 44 MAY NOT SEE MUCH AT ALL. STORMS FURTHER EAST SHOULD BE MULTICELLULAR IN NATURE WITH MAYBE A MARGINAL SEVERE WIND/HAIL THREAT IN A STORM OR TWO. POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL STILL EXISTS MAINLY IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND FAR EASTERN OKLAHOMA SO WILL CONTINUE TO MENTION THIS IN THE ZONEHS. WILL UPDATE SHORTLY TO ADD THE NEW SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH AND TO MAKE A FEW OTHER FIRST PERIOD CHANGES BASED ON CURRENT TRENDS. .TUL... AR...NONE. OK...NONE. PLATE
