AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
315 AM CDT SAT SEP 23 2006

.DISCUSSION...
SURFACE COLD FRONT HAS ESSENTIALLY CAUGHT UP WITH THE DRYLINE...AND
CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM SW MO TO TULSA AND SW INTO SCNTRL OK.
STRONG/SEVERE STORMS CONTINUE IN THE HIGHER CAPE AIR ACROSS FAR ERN
OK AND NW AR...WITH ADDITIONAL CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT NOW OCCURRING
ALONG THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY FROM CNTRL INTO NE OK. STRONG FORCING AND
MOISTURE CONVERGENCE WILL ALLOW FOR CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE
COLD FRONT OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL HOURS. GIVEN THE VERY STRONG SHEAR
(0-6KM BULK SHEAR OVER 60 KTS) AND IMPRESSIVE MUCAPES (2000 J/KG)
SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS. WILL
ALSO NEED TO KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON SE OK...WHERE SURFACE WINDS ARE
LOCALLY BACKED IN THE VICINITY OF AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY.

WILL FOLLOW THE SLIGHTLY FASTER RUC/GFS IN THE NEAR TERM CONCERNING
THE COLD FRONT TIMING. EXPECT SURFACE FRONT TO BE PUSHING INTO FAR
NW AR AROUND 14-15Z...AND SHOULD BE CLOSE TO EXITING THE FORECAST
AREA BY 18Z. HIGHEST POPS OBVIOUSLY NEEDED IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE
PERIOD...BUT WILL TAKE A LAST LOOK AT RADAR BEFORE DECIDING ON FINAL
NUMBERS.

POSITIVE TILT UPPER TROF WILL BE SLOW TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION.
DEVELOPING LOW-LEVEL CAA AND DEEP CYCLONIC FLOW SHOULD ALLOW FOR LOW
CLOUDS TO PUSH S INTO NE OK/NW AR LATE SATURDAY NIGHT OR EARLY
SUNDAY MORNING. SHORT RANGE MODELS HAVE A DECENT HANDLE ON THIS
SCENARIO...BUT GENERALLY FAVORED THE SLIGHTLY COOLER MET FOR HIGHS.

COOL NIGHT FOR SUNDAY NIGHT...WITH GRADUALLY CLEARING SKIES AND DRY
LOW-LEVEL AIR IN PLACE.

GRADUAL WARMUP TO ENSUE EARLY NEXT WEEK IN THE DRIER NWLY FLOW
ALOFT. 00Z GFS CONTINUES SLOWER TREND WITH NEXT FRONT...WHICH IS
POISED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY.
TWEAKED TEMPERATURES A BIT IN THE EXTENDED...OTHERWISE NO CHANGES
WHERE MADE.

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS WELL AS
MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
TORNADO.
	RISK...SIGNIFICANT.
	AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...MID AFTERNOON.

	AREA AT GREATEST RISK...SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...SIGNIFICANT.
	AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

	RISK...ELEVATED...SPREADINDEX=51.
	AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...ONGOING.

	AREA AT GREATEST RISK...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA.

DISCUSSION...
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON A DRYLINE WAS LOCATED FROM NOWATA TO OKEMAH
TO ARDMORE. THE DRYLINE WILL MOVE EAST THIS AFTERNOON TO NEAR A
MIAMI TO MCALESTER LINE BEFORE STALLING AND THEN RETREATING BACK
TO THE WEST THIS EVENING.

DEW POINTS WILL REMAIN BETWEEN 65 AND 70 DEGREES AHEAD OF THE DRY
LINE THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG INSTABILITY COMBINED WITH STRONG
SHEAR WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A SEVERE WEATHER EVENT TO THE EAST OF
THE DRY LINE. LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING WINDS AND TORNADOES WILL BE
LIKELY WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR STRONG LONG LIVED TORNADOES FROM
MID AFTERNOON INTO THE EVENING...ESPECIALLY IN FAR EASTERN OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

AS THE DRYLINE RETREATS WEST THIS EVENING AND A COLD FRONT MOVES
INTO THE AREA FROM THE NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT...THE SEVERE WEATHER
THREAT WILL EXPAND BACK TO THE NORTHWEST. LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STORMS ALONG THE COLD FRONT ALONG
WITH A SMALL TORNADO THREAT.

IN ADDITION TO THE STORM RISK...FIRE WEATHER WILL AGAIN BE A
CONCERN TODAY. LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITIES BEHIND THE DRY LINE AND
BREEZY SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST WINDS COMBINED WITH DRY VEGETATION WILL
INCREASE THE RISK OF FIRES.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL BE NEEDED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY.
SATURDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...VERY HIGH FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL.
SUNDAY...NO HAZARDS.
MONDAY...NO HAZARDS.
TUESDAY...NO HAZARDS.
WEDNESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
THURSDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REST OF THE AREA SATURDAY
MORNING WITH THUNDERSTORMS ENDING FROM NORTH TO SOUTH. A FEW
STORMS MAY STILL BE SEVERE AHEAD OF THE FRONT SATURDAY MORNING.
BREEZY NORTHWEST WINDS AND LOWER RELATIVE HUMIDITES BEHIND THE
FRONT WILL INCREASE THE FIRE DANGER AGAIN SATURDAY AFTERNOON IN
AREAS WHERE RAINFALL REMAINS LIMITED THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD INTO THE AREA SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY
BRINGING DRY AND MILD WEATHER TO THE AREA INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK. A SMALL CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST WEDNESDAY AND
THURSDAY AS ANOTHER COLD FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE INTO SATURDAY MORNING.
