AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
1032 AM CDT MON MAY 26 2008

.DISCUSSION...
PERSISTENT BOUNDARY WASHINGTON / NOWATA COUNTIES CONTINUES
TO GENERATE CONVECTION OVER NOWATA COUNTY.  88D TOTAL RAIN
IN EXCESS 3 INCHES PROMPTED FLOOD WARNING THERE.

UNCERTAINTIES ON THE LIKELY CONVECTIVE SCENARIO FOR AFTERNOON
AND TONIGHT. EXPECT AN ATMOSPHERIC DOWN TIME FOR RECHARGING
LASTING AT LEAST INTO MID AFTERNOON. HOWEVER TAIL END OUTFLOW
FROM EARLIER CONVECTION NOW REACHING ENHANCED SURFACE MOISTURE
NEAR THE RED RIVER IN EXTREME SOUTHEAST.  WILL STAY THE COURSE
OF MARGINAL POPS FOR THE AFTERNOON AT THIS TIME...WITH A QUICK
UPDATE TRIGGER SHOULD THE ATMOSPHERE BUBBLE OVER EARLY.
GW

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 300 AM CDT MON MAY 26 2008/

DISCUSSION...

ONCE AGAIN...A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS HAS MOVE INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
EARLY THIS MORNING. ANTICIPATE A DECREASE IN ACTIVITY AS THE LINE MOVES
INTO ARKANSAS DUE TO LESS FAVORABLE CONDITIONS. WILL LEAVE LOW CHANCE
POPS IN FOR THIS MORNING...THOUGH MAY MAKE FINAL ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
FIRST PERIOD AFTER A LAST LOOK AT RADAR.

LEFT OVER OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND MCV FROM THIS CONVECTIVE COMPLEX COULD
BRING ABOUT THUNDERSTORMS AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON...BUT EXPECT THIS TO
OCCUR PRIMARILY NORTH AND EAST OF THE FORECAST AREA. UNSTABLE AND WEAKLY
CAPPED ENVIRONMENT REMAINS OVER THE REGION...WITH SEVERE WEATHER ONCE
AGAIN POSSIBLE WITH ANY STORMS THAT DO DEVELOP DURING THE HEAT OF THE
DAY. DO NOT BELIEVE CONVECTIVE CLOUD DEBRIS WILL LAST FOR VERY
LONG TODAY...SO SHOULD SEE A VERY WARM MEMORIAL DAY ACROSS THE
AREA AND STAYED WITH THE WARMER MAV NUMBERS.

COLD FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE FURTHER SOUTH THROUGH KANSAS TODAY. SURFACE
LOW EXPECTED OVER THE OKLAHOMA PANHANDLE WITH A DRY LINE EXTENDING SOUTH
INTO WEST TEXAS. THESE BOUNDARIES WILL BECOME CONVECTIVELY ACTIVE AGAIN
THIS AFTERNOON AND WILL LIKELY DEVELOP INTO ANOTHER EASTWARD MOVING
MCS DURING THE NIGHT AS THE LLJ INCREASES. WHILE ALL MODES OF SEVERE
WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE WEST AND NORTH OF THE AREA...EXPECT A DECREASE
IN SEVERE POTENTIAL AS THE MCS MOVES INTO THE FA OVERNIGHT. WITH THAT
SAID...COULD STILL SEE A FEW STORMS REACHING THE FA CAPABLE OF PRODUCING
LARGE HAIL AND STRONG WIND GUSTS. LEFT OVER OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES FROM
THE MCS MAY PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT DURING THE DAY TUESDAY.

THE COLD FRONT WILL THEN PUSH SOUTH ACROSS THE FA TUESDAY AND TUESDAY
NIGHT. WHILE MOST OF THE MEDIUM RANGE MODELS HAVE THE FRONT SOUTH OF
THE AREA BY WEDNESDAY...00Z GFS IS A LITTLE SLOWER. WILL THEREFORE LEAVE
IN SOME LOW POPS WEDNESDAY AND WEDNESDAY NIGHT FOR CONVECTION NEAR THE
FRONT AND ANY POST FRONTAL PRECIP. SEVERE WEATHER CHANCES...MAINLY HAIL
AND WIND...WILL CONTINUE ALONG THE COLD FRONT...WITH THE BEST CHANCES
OCCURRING TUESDAY AFTERNOON DURING PEAK HEATING.

MUCH COOLER AIR BEHIND THE FRONT AND CLOUDY SKIES WILL BRING TEMPERATURES
BACK TO NEAR NORMAL FOR LATE MAY ON WED/WED NIGHT. SURFACE HIGH QUICKLY
SHIFTS INTO THE MIDWEST...BRINGING RETURN FLOW INTO THE FA BY THURSDAY.
UPPER HIGH PRESSURE AND INCREASING MID LEVEL TEMPERATURES SHOULD KEEP
THE AREA DRY THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. ANOTHER COLD FRONT WILL MOVE
THROUGH THE CENTRAL PLAINS AND MIDWEST DURING THE WEEKEND. NEARLY ZONAL
UPPER FLOW WILL MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR THE FRONT TO MAKE MUCH SOUTHERLY
PROGRESS THROUGH OKLAHOMA AND ARKANSAS. 00Z GFS BRINGS THE FRONT JUST
INTO THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FA...WHILE THE 00Z ECMWF/CANADIAN TAKE
THE FRONT A LITTLE FURTHER SOUTH. WILL GO AHEAD AND LEAVE IN LOW CHANCE
POPS FOR THE WEEKEND DUE TO THE UNCERTAINTY.

UPPER RIDGING BUILDS BACK OVER THE SOUTHERN PLAINS EARLY NEXT WEEK.
12Z ECMWF MUCH STRONGER WITH THE HIGH AND THICKNESS VALUES COMPARED
TO THE GFS...THOUGH NEW 00Z ECMWF LOOKS LESS AMPLIFIED AND A LITTLE
MORE IN LINE WITH THE GFS. HAVE GONE NEAR OR A LITTLE WARMER THAN
MEX GUIDANCE TEMPS THROUGH THE EXTENDED.

DISCUSSION...
A COMPLEX WEATHER SITUATION FEATURES MULTIPLE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES
FROM PREVIOUS CONVECTION AND A VERY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. THUNDERSTORMS
ARE MOST LIKELY FROM INTERSTATE 44 ON NORTH AND WEST. HOWEVER...GIVEN
THE DEGREE OF INSTABILITY...ALL AREAS WILL SEE AT LEAST A RISK OF
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT. THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHEAST KANSAS WILL
LIKELY EXPAND BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EARLY EVENING.
OTHER THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG AND EAST OF A DRY LINE FROM WESTERN
