AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
842 PM CST THU MAR 24 2005

.MESOSCALE DISCUSSION...
LESS DEEP-LAYER SHEAR AND LINEAR FORCING ON THE COLD FRONT IS
GRADUALLY FORCING A LINE OF CONVECTION ACROSS NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA...ELEVATED INSTABILITY OF 500 TO 1000 J/KG WILL PERSIST
FROM 850 MB UP ACROSS MOST OF OUR FORECAST AREA...SO THE STORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE INTO THE NIGHT AND REACH WESTERN ARKANSAS.  WE
ARE IN CONFERENCE WITH THE SPC ON A NEW SVR TSTM WATCH.

THE MORE CELLUAR CONVECTION IN SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA HAS BEEN LOSING
ORGANIZATION ON THE WHOLE...BUT WILL LIKLEY NOT DISSIPATE GIVEN THE
ELVATED INSTABILITY...AND WE EXPECT THEM TO BE A HAIL THREAT FOR AT
LEAST A COUPLE OF MORE HOURS AS THEY TRACK NORTHEAST.
