NWS Tulsa, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this severe thunderstorm warning went out at Feb 5, 3:10 PM CST, 1 hour 25 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Feb 5, 3:10 PM CST, 1 hour 25 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
310 PM CST TUE FEB 5 2008

.DISCUSSION...
THE MUCH ANTICIPATED STRONG UPPER SYSTEM IS FINALLY EXERTING ITS
INFLUENCE UPON THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. STRONG TO SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL... AND THE THREAT OF FLASH
FLOODING... WILL BE ONGOING ACROSS THE EASTERN PORTION OF THE AREA
AS THIS FORECAST TAKES AFFECT... AND WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY
EVENING HOURS. WILL ISSUE AFTERNOON ZONE FORECAST WITH PRE-FIRST
PERIOD WORDING TO MAINTAIN CONTINUITY.

THE SURFACE COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO BE
EAST OF OUR ARKANSAS COUNTIES BY MID EVENING... WITH THE SEVERE
WEATHER THREAT AND HEAVY RAINFALL TRANSLATING EASTWARD AS WELL.
OVERRUNNING WILL CONTINUE THE PRECIPITATION BEHIND THE FRONT INTO
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS. THIS WILL CREATE THE POSSIBILITY OF SOME LIGHT
SNOWFALL ACROSS THE NORTHERN PORTION OF THE FORECAST AREA AS COLD
AIR CONTINUES TO FLOW SOUTHWARD BEHIND THE FRONT. WILL CARRY MINIMAL
SNOW ACCUMULATION... GENERALLY NORTH OF A LINE FROM TULSA TO
FAYETTEVILLE.

PRECIPITATION WILL END ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA BY 12Z WEDNESDAY.
CONDITIONS WILL THEN REMAIN DRY WITH TEMPERATURES NEAR SEASONAL
NORMALS THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEKEND AND INTO NEXT WEEK. THE NEXT
NOTABLE UPPER SYSTEM WILL BE GETTING ORGANIZED ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST
CONUS LATE SUNDAY AND SHOULD BEGIN AFFECTING THE FORECAST AREA LATE
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. GIVEN THE MANY MODEL DISCREPANCIES AT THIS
TIME... HAVE JUST BROAD-BRUSHED CHANCE POPS FOR THE ENTIRE AREA WITH
THE POSSIBILITY OF LIGHT WINTRY PRECIP ACROSS THE NORTH.

        ONSET...AFTER 6 PM IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...AFTER MIDNIGHT IN
                NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

DISCUSSION...
WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF A COLD
FRONT... WHICH EXTENDED FROM BENTONVILLE TO SALLISAW TO WILBURTON AT 1 PM.
THIS FRONT WILL REMAIN A FOCUS FOR SEVERE WEATHER THROUGH THE
EARLY EVENING. A SURFACE LOW ALONG THE FRONT NEAR FORT SMITH WILL
CONTINUE TO SLIDE NORTHEAST ALONG THE BOUNDARY LATE THIS
AFTERNOON...WHILE ANOTHER LOW OVER NORTH CENTRAL TEXAS WILL LIFT
INTO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA. ALONG AND AHEAD OF THESE LOW TRACKS WILL
BE THE FOCUS FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER...WITH
TORNADOES...WIND...AND SEVERE HAIL POSSIBLE ACROSS THIS AREA.
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING ACROSS THIS AREA WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY
SURFACE BASED THROUGH THE AFTERNOON DURING THE TIME OF MAXIMUM
HEATING...INCREASING THE TORNADO THREAT.

ADDITIONAL LIFT WILL BE PROVIDED BY THE APPROACHING UPPER STORM
SYSTEM. THE GREATEST UNCERTAINTY FOR A MORE SIGNIFICANT TORNADIC
POTENTIAL REMAINS THE ORIENTATION OF THE UPPER LEVEL WINDS AND
THE STORM MOTION...WHICH WILL BE FAST TO THE NORTHEAST AT OVER 45
MPH.

FURTHER NORTH NEAR THE COLD FRONT...STORMS WILL BE NEARER
A REGION OF COLDER TEMPERATURES ALOFT...AND THIS WILL FAVOR
A HIGHER RISK OF SEVERE HAIL. THIS SEVERE WEATHER RISK WILL
EXTEND WELL NORTH OF THE COLD FRONT TO NEAR THE INTERSTATE 44
CORRIDOR.

STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO EXIT THE TULSA FORECAST AREA BY LATE
AFTERNOON...WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF LIGHT SNOW MOVING INTO
THE AREA THIS EVENING. NO SIGNIFICANT ACCUMULATIONS ARE CURRENTLY
EXPECTED AS THE UPPER LEVEL STORM TRACK FAVORS AREAS OF NORTHWEST
OKLAHOMA THROUGH CENTRAL KANSAS.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...SPOTTER ACTIVATION
WILL LIKELY BE NEEDED...ESPECIALLY OVER FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA
INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. EXPECT SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL TO BE
ONGOING FOR MUCH OF THE DAY.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
TRANQUIL WEATHER IS EXPECTED FOR MUCH OF THE UPCOMING WEEK...
WITH POTENTIAL FOR MUCH COLDER TEMPERATURES BY EARLY
NEXT WEEK.
