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...
ONGOING THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX WILL PRODUCE HEAVY RAIN AND ISOLATED
STRONG WIND GUSTS THIS MORNING. THE EAST TO WEST ORIENTED OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
FROM THIS MORNINGS COMPLEX WILL PROVIDE A FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT TODAY ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. STORMS THAT DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA
AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS WILL HAVE THE GREATEST POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS DUE TO A VERY UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERE SOUTH OF THESE OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES. HEAVY RAINFALL AND
TRAINING OF THUNDERSTORMS IS LIKELY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY...SO FLASH FLOODING WILL BE A CONCERN PRIMARILY ALONG AND NORTH
OF INTERSTATE 40 WHERE RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER 4 INCHES HAVE ALREADY
OCCURRED DURING THE PAST 24 HOURS.

AS THE COLD FRONT CURRENTLY OVER KANSAS MOVES SOUTH INTO THE AREA
TODAY AND TONIGHT...ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE. SEVERE
WEATHER ALONG THE FRONT WILL BE DEPENDENT ON HOW WELL THE
ATMOSPHERE CAN DESTABILIZE AFTER THIS MORNINGS STORMS. ANOTHER
COMPLEX OF THUNDERSTORMS MAY AFFECT THE REGION AHEAD OF THE COLD
FRONT AGAIN TONIGHT AS THE LOW LEVEL WINDS INCREASE. ISOLATED
SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS ACTIVITY WAS WELL.

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

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE NEAR THE COLD FRONT AS IT PUSHES SOUTH
ON WEDNESDAY. THERE WILL BE AN ISOLATED CHANCE FOR SEVERE WEATHER
WEDNESDAY WILL BE ALONG AND AHEAD OF THE FRONT. AFTER A BRIEF COOL
DOWN BEHIND THE FRONT...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRINGING DRY WEATHER
AND A WARMING TREND THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK. THE NEXT COLD
FRONT WILL SLOWLY MOVE INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS THIS
WEEKEND...BRINGING ANOTHER CHANCE FOR SOME THUNDERSTORMS TO THE
AREA.
