AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
250 AM CDT FRI JUN 13 2008

.DISCUSSION...
WATCH #518 REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA UNTIL 09Z.
HOWEVER CURRENT CONVECTION CONTINUES TO STAY NORTH OF THE
OKLAHOMA BORDER...WITH SEVERAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES THAT HAVE
APPROACHED THE AREA AND WITH THE EXCEPTION OF A FEW SHORT LIVED
CELLS..THESE BOUNDARIES HAVE FAILED TO INITIATE NEW WIDESPREAD
CONVECTION. THAT SAID...ANY COLD POOL PROPAGATION TO THE SOUTHEAST
WILL LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN FOR THE BEST CONVECTIVE CHANCES ACROSS
THE NORTHERN TIER COUNTIES OF OKLAHOMA THIS MORNING. MODELS WANT
TO PUSH SYNOPTIC SCALE BOUNDARY ACROSS THE FA TODAY...WHICH WILL
SERVE AS FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL STORMS ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT. PENDING EVOLUTION
OF MORNING CONVECTION... IT WILL BE NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TELL
WHETHER TRUE FRONT OR CONVECTIVE DRIVEN/OUTFLOW BOUNDARY WILL BE
THE FOCUS...OR PLACEMENT DURING PEAK HEATING. EITHER WAY...THE
PLAN IS TO SHIFT HIGHER POPS TO THE SOUTH FOR THIS AFTERNOON.
MOSTLY DRY WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR THE WEEKEND...HOWEVER BY EARLY
NEXT WEEK NORTHWEST UPPER FLOW BECOMES BETTER DEFINED...ALONG WITH
SURFACE UPSLOPE FLOW AND A LURKING OR ADVANCING SURFACE BOUNDARY.
ALL ARE INDICATORS OF POTENTIAL MCSS THAT COULD AFFECT THE AREA
FOR SEVERAL LATE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING PERIODS OF NEXT WEEK PER
00Z ECMWF. CHANCE POPS FOR MOST IF NOT ALL PERIODS FROM MONDAY ON
LOOK REASONABLE AT THIS TIME. ALSO...WILL LIKELY SIDE CLOSE TO MOS
AS AREAS OF RAIN COOLED AIR/DEBRIS CLOUD COVER...AND PLACEMENT OF
BOUNDARIES WILL BE DIFFICULT TO PINPOINT.
