AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
318 PM CDT WED AUG 5 2009
.DISCUSSION...
SLIGHTLY COOLER AIR NORTH OF STATIONARY FRONT IN NE OKLAHOMA/NW
ARKANSAS AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY ACROSS SE OKLAHOMA HAVE KEPT
TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER THAN THIS TIME YESTERDAY.
HOWEVER...WITH DEWPOINTS RUNNING SEVERAL DEGREES HIGHER THAN
YESTERDAY...HEAT INDICES ARE STILL ABOVE THE CENTURY MARK ACROSS
NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. WILL MAINTAIN HEAT
WARNING/ADVISORY AREA THROUGH FRIDAY...WITH AN EXTENSION INTO
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA.
ONGOING CONVECTION ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA IS OCCURRING ALONG THE
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM THE EARLY MORNING MCS IN ARKANSAS. THIS
ACTIVITY WILL CONTINUE TO SHIFT SOUTH INTO THE EVENING. CU FIELD HAS
BEEN INCREASING OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS IN THE VICINITY OF THE
EAST/WEST STATIONARY FRONT...CURRENTLY SITUATED ACROSS NE OKLAHOMA
TO NEAR THE AR/MO STATE LINE. COULD SEE SOME ADDITIONAL STORM
DEVELOPMENT NEAR THE FRONT THIS EVENING. SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY WILL
YIELD THE POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WX...WITH STRONG WINDS BEING THE
PRIMARY THREAT.
NAM BRINGS AN MCS THROUGH KANSAS OVERNIGHT AND INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA
ON THURSDAY...WHILE THE GFS KEEPS ANY CONVECTION WEST AND NORTH OF
THE AREA. STAYED CLOSER TO THE GFS SOLUTION FOR THURSDAY...KEEPING
TEMPS WARMER AND POPS LOWER THAN THE NAM GUIDANCE. WITH ATMOSPHERE
REMAINING MOIST...DID LEAVE LOW POPS IN FOR THURSDAY AS THE
STATIONARY FRONT SLOWLY LIFTS NORTH AND OTHER BOUNDARIES REMAIN IN
THE REGION.
UPPER HIGH SLATED TO MAKE A SHIFT EASTWARD OVER THE CWA OVER THE
NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THIS SHOULD KEEP TEMPERATURES AND DEWPOINTS HIGH
AND THE CHANCE FOR RAIN LOW INTO THE WEEKEND. HEAT INDICES WILL
LIKELY REMAIN IN THE 105 TO 108 RANGE IN THE ADVISORY AREA THURSDAY
AND FRIDAY. ALSO ANTICIPATE OVERNIGHT LOWS REMAINING WARM...THOUGH
THIS WILL BE DEPENDENT ON IF AND WHERE ANY CONVECTION DEVELOPS. WITH
THIS UNCERTAINTY...WILL HOLD OFF ON EXTENDING THE HEAT WARNING AREA.
HEAT INDICES CURRENTLY LOOK TO REMAIN JUST BELOW CRITERIA ON SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY.
COOLER TEMPERATURES AND AN IN INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER ARE EXPECTED
FOR THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK AS THE UPPER HIGH SETTLES OVER THE
SE US. ECMWF CONTINUES TO SHOW A COLD FRONT MOVING INTO THE REGION
DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE WEEK WHILE THE GFS KEEPS THE FRONT TO
OUR NORTH. DUE TO THE CONTINUITY OF THE ECMWF...MAINTAINED LOW POPS
AND KEPT TEMPERATURES CLOSER TO NORMAL THROUGH THE EXTENDED.
