AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
849 PM CST MON MAR 21 2005

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
A NARROW LINE OF STORMS HAS EVOLVED AND IS MOVING INTO NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS.  THE STORMS ARE ELEVATED...DRIVEN BY WEAK ELEVATED
INSTABILITY AND STRONG UPWARD MOTION AHEAD OF THE SYSTEM APPROACHING
SLOWLY FROM THE WEST.  THE TAIL END STORM IN NORTHEAST SEQUOYAH
COUNTY IS THE REMAINS OF A SUPERCELL AND THE STRONG SHEAR IS
SUPPORTING A BROAD MESOSCYCLONE.  GIVEN THE ELEVATED NATURE OF THE
CELLS...HAIL WILL BE THE PRIMARY CONCERN.  FOR NOW THERE HAVE BEEN
NO REPORTS AND WE WILL CONTINUE WITH SIG. WEATHER ALERTS UNTIL THE
TRENDS CHANGE.

THUNDERSTORMS WERE INCREASING AGAIN IN SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA FROM
LATIMER COUNTY TO CHOCTAW COUNTY.  THIS ACTIVITY IS AT THE BACK EDGE
OF THE DEEPER MOISTURE BUT AHEAD OF THE SURFACE DRY LINE AS THE
UPWARD MOTION INCREASE IN THIS AREA.  THESE STORMS ARE CLOSER TO
BEING SURFACE BASED.  GIVEN THE IMPRESSIVE WIND FIELDS IN PLACE THE
CELLS WILL TAKE ON SUPERCELL CHARACTERISTICS.

THUNDERSTORMS WERE ALSO INCREASING FROM OSAGE COUNTY SOUTH INTO
OKFUSKEE COUNTY.  THESE STORMS ARE ALSO CLOSER TO BEING SURFACED
BASED AND HAVE BOTH A WIND AND HAIL THREAT.  DEEP LAYER SHEAR IS
LITTLE WEAKER WITH THESE CELLS AND THEY MAY BE A MIXED MODE OF
MULTICELLS AND OR TRANSITORY SUPERCELLS.

THE DRYLINE WILL BE NEARLY STATIONARY...UNTIL IT BEGINS TO BE
FORCED EAST BY THE COLD FRONT IN A COUPLE MORE HOURS.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
 	RISK...SIGNIFICANT.
 	AREA...ALL OF EAASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN ARKANSAS.
 	ONSET...NOW...ENDING AROUND 3AM.

DISCUSSION...
TWO BROKEN LINES OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE MOVING ACROSS THE TULSA
FORECAST AREA.  THE STORMS ARE BEING SUPPORTED BY VERY WEAK INSTABILITY
BUT SIGNIFICANT UPWARD MOTION FROM A STRONG SYSTEM MOVING ACROSS OKLAHOMA.
WIND FIELD RANGE FROM STRONG TO VERY STRONG ACROSS THE REGION.  THE
WIND PROFILES SUPPORT STORM ROTATION...ESPECIALLY IN SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA
WHERE SOME POTENTIAL STILL EXISTS FOR A TORNADO.  OTHERWISE ANY
ESTABLISHED STORM WILL HAVE A SEVERE THREAT.

THE ACTIVITY WILL SLOWLY SHIFT EAST TONIGHT WITH THE THREAT FOR SEVERE
WEATHER BEGINNING TO DIMINISH AFTER 1AM.  THE LOW CENTER...DRY LINE AND
COLD FRONT WILL ONLY SLOWLY MAKE PROGRESS EAST AND WILL NOT BE CLEAR OF
THE AREA BY MORNING...SO SOME THUNDERSTORMS MAY PERSIST IN PARTS OF
EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN ARKANSAS INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTERS AND EMERGENCY MANAGERS SHOULD REMAIN ALERT OVERNIGHT AND BE
READY FOR SHORT NOTICE ACTIVATION.

UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE JUST NORTH OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY WITH A SLIGHT CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS. BETTER PRECIPITATION CHANCES RETURN BY SATURDAY AS
