.DISCUSSION...

.AVIATION...
WIDESPREAD SHOWERS WITH A FEW EMBEDDED ORGANIZED THUNDERSTORM
CLUSTERS WILL CONTINUE TO MOVE ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA FROM NOW
THROUGH 10Z...OCCASIONALLY REDUCING VSBYS TO 1-3SM. MVFR CIGS WILL
PREVAIL THROUGH THE REST OF THE NIGHT WITH LOCAL IFR NEAR STRONGER
CELLS. COLD FRONT WILL REACH KTUL/KRVS AROUND 09Z AND KFSM BY 18Z

NORTHERN SITES AFTER 18Z BUT NO SIGNIFICANT REDUCTION TO VSBY
EXPECTED.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 921 PM CST MON DEC 8 2008/

DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED THIS EVENING ACROSS
PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND FURTHER SOUTHWEST ACROSS
SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA IN BETTER SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY AXIS.
SURFACE BASED INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY NOT TRANSLATE TOO MUCH
FURTHER EASTWARD OVERNIGHT WITH ONLY MARGINAL ELEVATED INSTABILITY
EXPECTED. WITH THAT SAID...VERY COLD TEMPERATURES ALOFT COUPLED
WITH AMPLE DEEP LAYER SHEAR WILL ALLOW FOR A CONTINUED THREAT FOR
HAIL PRODUCING STORMS IN THE STRONGER CELLS/SEGMENTS. BEST CHANCE
FOR SEVERE WILL LIKELY BE FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE EVENING
HOURS...ALONG AND SOUTHWEST OF A PAWNEE...TULSA...CLAYTON LINE.
STORMS WILL LIKELY MOVE INTO A SLIGHTLY MORE STABLE AIRMASS
ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS OVERNIGHT...ALTHOUGH A VERY LIMITED
SEVERE THREAT WILL REMAIN. CURRENT FORECAST GENERALLY ON TRACK
CONCERNING POPS...WILL LIKELY UPDATE TO INCREASE THUNDER CHANCES
ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA GIVEN RECENT RADAR/LIGHTNING
TRENDS. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS CHANCE ON DECISION SUPPORT PAGE
LOOKS GOOD. UPDATE OUT SHORTLY.

DISCUSSION...
A STRONG UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM WAS MOVING OUT OF FAR SOUTHEAST
NEW MEXICO INTO WESTERN TEXAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. IN ADVANCE OF
THIS SYSTEM...STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS CONTINUE WITH GUSTS TO AROUND
40 MPH IN A FEW AREAS ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA. SURFACE WINDS WILL
BEGIN TO SLOWLY DECREASE THIS EVENING HOWEVER WILL REMAIN GUSTY
THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.

AS THE UPPER SYSTEM APPROACHES...AREAS OF RAIN WITH EMBEDDED
THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY DEVELOP AND RAPIDLY SPREAD NORTHEAST
INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA AROUND MID EVENING. GIVEN THE COLD
TEMPERATURES ALOFT AND STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR PRESENT WITH THIS
STORM SYSTEM...ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL
FOR LARGE HAIL AND TO A LESSER EXTENT DAMAGING DOWNBURST
WINDS...ESPECIALLY ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA WHERE ELEVATED
INSTABILITIES WILL BE MAXIMIZED. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE THAT A
FEW STORMS COULD BECOME SURFACE BASED ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA WITH A LIMITED TORNADO THREAT...HOWEVER CHANCES APPEAR
TO BE FAIRLY MINIMAL.

SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL SPREAD NORTHEAST INTO NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS AROUND MIDNIGHT WITH A CONTINUE THREAT FOR SEVERE
WEATHER. ELEVATED INSTABILITY HOWEVER WILL LIKELY BEGIN TO
DECREASE DURING THIS TIME...LIMITING THE OVERALL SEVERE THREAT.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED THIS EVENING.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY.
TUESDAY...WINTER WEATHER POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY...NO HAZARDS.
THURSDAY...NO HAZARDS.
FRIDAY...NO HAZARDS.
SATURDAY...NO HAZARDS.
SUNDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
BY TUESDAY MORNING SURFACE LOW PRESSURE WILL BE LOCATED OVER
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI WITH A STRONG COLD FRONT EXTENDING SOUTHWEST.
THE COLD FRONT WILL MOVE ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA TUESDAY
MORNING WITH STRONG NORTHWEST WINDS TO 40 MPH POSSIBLE BEHIND THE
FRONT BY EARLY AFTERNOON.

AS THE COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE AREA AT THE SURFACE AND A TROUGH
OF LOW PRESSURE ALOFT MOVES ACROSS THE AREA ENOUGH MOISTURE
MAY BE SQUEEZED OUT FOR RAIN.  THE RAIN COULD TURN TO SNOW ACROSS
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA TUESDAY AFTERNOON. ANY ACCUMULATIONS WILL LIKELY
REMAIN LIGHT AND PRIMARILY REMAIN ON GRASSY SURFACES.

MUCH OF THE WEATHER DURING THE REMAINDER OF THE UPCOMING WEEK WILL
BE DRY AND MILD.  STRONG SOUTH WINDS MAY OCCUR NEXT SUNDAY IN
ADVANCE OF ANOTHER STRONG COLD FRONT WHICH COULD MOVE INTO THE
AREA NEXT MONDAY.
