AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
846 PM CDT WED JUN 2 2010

.DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS
EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IN THE VICINITY OF A COLD
FRONT THAT CURRENTLY STRETCHES FROM SOUTHWEST MISSOURI
INTO SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND FURTHER SOUTHWEST INTO SOUTHWEST
OKLAHOMA. THUNDERSTORMS HAVE ALREADY DEVELOPED ACROSS
SOUTHWEST MISSOURI AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS AND ARE EXPECTED
TO BACKBUILD INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA LATER THIS EVENING
AS A WEAK MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN KANSAS.
THERE IS EXPECTED TO BE ENOUGH ELEVATED INSTABILITY FOR
THE THUNDERSTORMS TO BECOME STRONG TO SEVERE. LARGE HAIL
AND WIND GUSTS TO AROUND 60 MPH WILL BE THE CONCERN AS THE
SHEAR ACROSS THE AREA REMAINS RATHER WEAK. HAVE NOT MADE
ANY MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FORECAST AT THIS TIME.
