Area forecast discussion, May 25, 3:06 PM CDT, 1 hour 23 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
306 PM CDT SUN MAY 25 2008

.DISCUSSION...
ONGOING SEVERE WEATHER BEING AIDED BY PASSING MCV AND FUELED BY
STRONG INSTABILITY. THESE CONDITIONS REMAIN PRESENT INTO THE
EVENING HOURS WITH A GRADUAL EASTWARD SHIFT OF THE STORM
POTENTIAL. ATTENTION WILL THEN TURN TO ANY POSSIBILITY OF COMPLEX
MERGING FROM STORMS ALONG DRYLINE...HOWEVER THIS FEATURE REMAIN IN
FAR WEST TEXAS THUS ANY EFFECTS WOULD BE VERY LATE TONIGHT.
UNSEASONABLY WARM OVERNIGHT LOWS WILL CONTINUE.

FRONTAL BOUNDARY ACROSS KANSAS WILL SAG SLOWLY SOUTHWARD ON MONDAY
AS UPPER RIDGING FLATTENS...HOWEVER BULK OF STORMS DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING LOOK TO REMAIN OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA.
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL INCREASE MONDAY NIGHT AS A LARGE MCS IS
LIKELY TO TRACK MAINLY TO OUR NORTH...HOWEVER THE SOUTHERN
PERIPHERY OF THIS COMPLEX WILL THREATEN NORTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
AREA.

MCS OUTFLOW AND EVENTUALLY THE TRUE SYNOPTIC FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
ENTER INTO THE AREA ON TUESDAY WITH AN EXPECTED INCREASE IN
THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE...HELD SOMEWHAT IN CHECK BY PREVAILING UPPER
RIDGE ALOFT. TEMPERATURES WILL RETURN TO NEARER LATE MAY NORMALS
BY MID WEEK. PENDING THE LOCATION OF THE EFFECTIVE
FRONT...THUNDERSTORM CHANCES ARE EXPECTED TO SHIFT SOUTH OF THE
AREA WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY.

THERMAL RIDGE RETURNS IN FORCE BY LATE WEEK AND SERVE AS A STRONG
CAP FOR THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...ALONG WITH AGAIN PUSHING
TEMPERATURES WELL ABOVE NORMAL. A COLD FRONT MAY ATTEMPT TO IMPACT
THE FORECAST AREA NEXT WEEKEND THOUGH CONFIDENCE IS NOT HIGH THAT
THE BOUNDARY WILL MAKE MUCH SOUTHWARD PROGRESS.
