Area forecast discussion, Jun 19, 9:05 PM CDT, 16 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
905 PM CDT TUE JUN 19 2007

.DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE NORTH OF INTERSTATE 40
IN THE VICINITY OF A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT EXTENDS FROM NEAR KFYV
TO KCQB. THE AIRMASS CONTINUES TO BE RATHER UNSTABLE WITH CAPE VALUES IN
EXCESS OF 3000 J/KG IN AREAS THAT HAVE NOT ALREADY BEEN WORKED OVER BY
THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER...THE CAP IS BEGINNING TO STRENGTHEN ACROSS THE
REGION WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. I WOULD EXPECT THE THUNDERSTORMS
TO DIMINISH IN COVERAGE AND INTENSITY OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
HOWEVER...THE WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA COULD BE IMPACTED BY A LARGE
MCS THAT IS DEVELOPING ACROSS PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND WESTERN OKLAHOMA
AS IT MOVES TO THE SOUTH.

HAVE MADE SOME ADJUSTMENTS TO THE POPS. WILL NOT MAKE ANY CHANGES
TO OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES AT THIS TIME.
