DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE WATER COVERS THE ROAD TO
UNKNOWN DEPTHS. IT ONLY TAKES TWO FEET OF RUSHING WATER TO CARRY AWAY
MOST SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES AND PICKUPS. TAKE A DIFFERENT ROUTE TO
REACH YOUR DESTINATION OR WAIT UNTIL THE WATER RECEDES. REMEMBER...
MOST FLOOD RELATED DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLASH FLOODS. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT AT NIGHT TO TELL HOW 
MUCH WATER IS ON THE ROADS. MOTORISTS SHOULD NOT DRIVE THROUGH WATER 
OF UNKNOWN DEPTH.

Area forecast discussion, May 27, 3:53 AM CDT, 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
353 AM CDT TUE MAY 27 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ACTIVE WEATHER CONTINUES THIS MORNING WITH DEVELOPING MCS...WHICH
WILL MOVE THROUGH EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS
MORNING. WHERE EAST/WEST CONVECTIVE LINE STALLS AHEAD OF MESO LOW
TRACK WILL LIKELY BE AN AREA OF CONCERN FOR FLOODING AS RAINFALL
RATES EXCEED 2 INCHES AN HOUR IN SOME LOCATIONS JUST NORTH OF THE
INTERSTATE 40 CORRIDOR. ATMOSPHERE REMAINS UNSTABLE ACROSS
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA WITH SURFACE BASED LIFTED INDICES CURRENTLY
RUNNING AROUND -3 TO -4. COULD SEE ISOLATED DAMAGING WIND THREAT
IN THE STRONGER BOW SEGMENTS AS MAIN THUNDERSTORM LINE SWEEPS
EASTWARD THIS MORNING. GIVEN THE LOW FLASH FLOOD GUIDANCE ACROSS
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...COUPLED WITH THE ONGOING CONVECTION...HAVE
EXTENDED FLASH FLOOD WATCH THROUGH 100 AM TONIGHT AND INCLUDED
ADDITIONAL COUNTIES ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS. WILL LIKELY SEE THUNDERSTORM REDEVELOPMENT ALONG
RESIDUAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING WITH THE
POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINFALL CONTINUING INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS
TONIGHT. ALSO DEPENDING ON HOW MUCH SURFACE HEATING OCCURS BEHIND
MCS THIS MORNING COULD ALSO HAVE A SEVERE THREAT INTO THE EVENING
HOURS.

COOL FRONT WILL PUSH THROUGH THE AREA ON WEDNESDAY WITH RAIN
CHANCES DECREASING NORTH OF BOUNDARY. UPPER HIGH THEN BEGINS TO
BUILD INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THURSDAY AND FRIDAY WITH
TEMPERATURES WARMING BACK INTO THE LOWER 90S. STAYED FAIRLY CLOSE
TO THE MEX GUIDANCE IN THE EXTENDED.

DISCUSSION...
A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WAS MOVING ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS LATE TONIGHT. WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 40 MILES PER
HOUR AND HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND BEHIND THIS LINE.
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL OF OVER 3 INCHES HAS ALREADY AFFECTED PORTIONS
OF OSAGE AND PAWNEE COUNTIES OVER THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS...WITH
LESSER AMOUNTS ELSEWHERE ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA. ANY ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL COULD LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING...PRIMARILY IN AREAS THAT
RECEIVED RAINFALL ON MEMORIAL DAY.

A SECONDARY LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WAS MOVING ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA
AT 230 AM. THIS LINE WAS BOWING OUT AS IT MOVED EAST...AND WILL BE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING DAMAGING WINDS. CONDITIONS FURTHER EAST ACROSS
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA WILL BE LESS CONDUCIVE FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS.
HOWEVER...THESE STORMS MAY REMAIN STRONG ENOUGH TO PRODUCE DAMAGING
WINDS AND MARGINALLY SEVERE HAIL AS THEY MOVE INTO SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA. WHILE THE TORNADIC POTENTIAL REMAINS LOW...SPIN UPS CAN
OCCUR ALONG THE LEADING EDGE OF THE LINE OF STORMS IF THEY ARE
SURFACED BASED.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION LIKELY NEEDED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
TUESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
THURSDAY...NO HAZARDS.
FRIDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
SATURDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
SUNDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY AND EARLY WEDNESDAY
CAUSING AN INCREASE IN THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE. SOME THUNDERSTORMS
COULD BE SEVERE WITH LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS. A WEAKER COLD
FRONT WILL APPROACH THE AREA THIS WEEKEND BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE
OF THUNDERSTORMS.
