AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
158 PM CDT MON SEP 21 2009

.DISCUSSION...
ACTIVE WEATHER IN THE SHORT TERM WITH SEVERE STORM AND FLOODING
POTENTIAL THROUGH TOMORROW MORNING. ELEVATED CONVECTION HAS BEEN
ONGOING THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY NEAR THE KANSAS BORDER...AND
ADDITIONAL DEVELOPMENT HAS OCCURRED IN THE PAST HOUR OR SO IN A
REGION OF MAXIMUM DEEP LAYER CONVERGENCE ALONG THE REMNANT OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY FROM THE EARLIER CONVECTION. EXPECT THAT THIS CONVECTION
WILL MERELY BE THE FIRST SHOW AS ADDITIONAL STORMS ARE EXPECTED
WITH THE MAIN COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHICH CURRENTLY EXTENDS FROM
NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA BACK TO THE SOUTHWEST TOWARD HOBART AND
ALTUS. UPPER LOW EVIDENT IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY CENTERED NEAR THE
COLORADO/KANSAS BORDER WILL CONTINUE TO SWING SOUTHEASTWARD...WHICH
WILL AID THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE FRONT LATER THIS
EVENING AND OVERNIGHT. 88D MOSAIC SHOWING THAT A FEW CELLS ARE
TRYING TO GO ACROSS WESTERN AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA ALONG THE
FRONT...BUT ARE CURRENTLY STRUGGLING. VERY WARM AND MOIST AIRMASS
IS PRESENT ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS WITH
TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 80S AND DEW POINTS NEAR 70 ACROSS MUCH
OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA ESPECIALLY. LOW TO MID LEVEL MOISTURE
TRANSPORT FAVORS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
TONIGHT...AND IS CURRENTLY MAXIMIZED IN THIS AREA PER SPC
MESOANALYSIS. ALL OF THIS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO SUFFICIENT
INSTABILITY IN THE PRESENCE OF MODERATE DEEP LAYER SHEAR AND A
RESULTANT SEVERE WEATHER THREAT WITH STORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING...WITH A LINEAR STORM MODE FAVORED. ISOLATED HEAVY RAIN
AND FLOODING WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN...ESPECIALLY WITH
INCREASING PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES...WHICH ARE ALREADY WELL
ABOVE NORMAL CURRENTLY. CONCERN RIGHT NOW WOULD BE HIGHEST ALONG
THE KANSAS BORDER WHICH WILL LIKELY SEE SEVERAL ROUNDS OF STORMS.

COLD FRONT AND ATTENDANT CONVECTION WILL SWEEP THROUGH THE AREA
TONIGHT...USHERING IN COLDER AND DRIER AIR. DRY SLOT WILL MOVE
INTO WESTERN SECTIONS OF THE AREA ON TUESDAY...WITH PRECIP CHANCES
LINGERING ACROSS THE EASTERN THIRD TO HALF OF THE AREA INTO THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK. TEMPERATURES WILL BE ABOUT 15 TO 20 DEGREES
COLDER IN PARTS OF THE AREA ON TUESDAY...WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S
CONTINUING FOR A GOOD PART OF THIS WEEK. ANOTHER SURGE OF PRECIP
WILL OCCUR THURSDAY AND INTO FRIDAY AS A POTENT SHORT WAVE MOVES
INTO THE AREA ON THE EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE UPPER LOW.

TOWARD THE WEEKEND...THE UPPER LOW WILL BE PICKED UP BY THE UPPER
JET...LEAVING THE REGION IN WEST TO NORTHWEST FLOW INTO MONDAY.
GFS AND ECMWF TEMPERATURES ARE NOT EXACTLY AGREEING...WITH THE
ECMWF BEING QUITE WARM ESPECIALLY EARLY NEXT WEEK. WILL GO WITH A
COMPROMISE FOR NOW.

DISCUSSION...
A COLD FRONT WILL ENTER NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA LATE THIS AFTERNOON
AND MOVE SOUTHEAST ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS.
SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL ACCOMPANY
THE FRONT AND INSTABILITY AND SHEAR ARE SUFFICIENT FOR THE
POSSIBILITY OF SEVERE WEATHER. THE BEST CHANCES FOR SEVERE
WEATHER WILL BE LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS MAINLY IN NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. BY THE
TIME THE FRONT REACHES NORTHWEST ARKANSAS LATE TONIGHT...THE
INSTABILITY WILL BE DECREASING AND THE RISK OF SEVERE WEATHER
WILL DECREASE AS WELL.

ONE TO TWO INCH RAINFALL AMOUNTS ARE EXPECTED TO BE COMMON AND
LOCAL AMOUNTS OF 3 OR 4 INCHES ARE POSSIBLE WHICH WOULD RAISE
THE POSSIBILITY OF FLASH FLOODING.

WHILE THE RISK OF TORNADOES WILL REMAIN LOW,..THEY ARE POSSIBLE
WITH THE STRONGER THUNDERSTORMS.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
ACTIVATION OF THE REGIONAL SPOTTER NETWORK LIKELY.

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

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THUNDERSTORMS COULD LINGER INTO TUESDAY MORNING...ESPECIALLY
IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. THE UPPER LEVEL LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM
THAT IS PUSHING THE COLD FRONT THROUGH THE REGION IS EXPECTED
TO CUT OFF AND LINGER OVER THE PLAINS NORTHWEST AND NORTH OF
OKLAHOMA BUT WILL CAUSE OCCASIONAL CHANCES  OF ADDITIONAL
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ON THURSDAY.
