Area forecast discussion, Jun 13, 5:48 PM CDT, 55 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK 548 PM CDT MON JUN 13 2005 .MESOSCALE UPDATE... AT 5PM PROFILERS AND WATER VAPOR IMAGERY SHOWED THE APPROACHING MID-LEVEL SHORT FROM NORTH-CENTRAL KANSAS INTO NORTHWEST TEXAS. THIS WILL SUPPORT ENOUGH DEEP LAYER SHEAR FOR A SUPERCELL STORM MODE IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND FAR NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS EVENING. FURTHER SOUTH IN THE AREA THE SHEAR WILL SUPPORT MORE OF MULTI-CLUSTER / SHORT LINE MODE. WEAK LOW-LEVEL FLOW ACROSS THE AREA WILL LIMIT LOW-LEVEL STORM ROTATION POTENTIAL...STORM-RELATIVE HELICITIES ARE GENERALLY 50 M2/S2 OR LESS WITH THE CURRENT MOTIONS. EXPERIMENTAL GUST POTENTIAL GRIDS SHOW A HIGH DOWNBURST POTENTIAL WITH THE ACTIVITY DEVELOPING ACROSS ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...WITH MODERATE DOWNBURST POTENTIAL ELSEWHERE. THEREFORE WIND AND HAIL ARE THE PRIMARY THREATS AT THIS TIME. THE CAP INDEX SUGGESTS THAT THE CAP IS NOT COMPLETELY GONE... JUST THIN ENOUGH TO BE BROKEN. AS THE UPPER LOW TO THE NORTH LIFTS NORTHEAST THIS EVENING AND DIURNAL COOLING STARTS THE ACTIVITY COULD BEGIN TO DECREASE SOME BY MID EVENING...UNLESS A COLD POOL CAN ORGANIZED AND PROMOTE MCS DEVELOPMENT. && .TSA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES...
