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.
