...UPDATE...

.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL PERSIST INTO THE
EVENING HOURS...WITH COVERAGE DECREASING AFTER 02-04Z.

AR...WITH THUNDERSTORMS ONCE AGAIN REDEVELOPING ACROSS MOST
OF THE AREA AFTER 15Z.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 259 PM CDT TUE JUL 6 2010/

DISCUSSION...
A VERY MOIST AIRMASS REMAINS IN PLACE ACROSS THE REGION... WITH
FAIRLY WEAK FLOW ALOFT. ONGOING CONVECTIVE ACTIVITY CONTINUES TO
PLAGUE MUCH OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND SOUTHEAST KANSAS THIS
AFTERNOON. LOCALIZED FLOODING HAS BEEN REPORTED THROUGHOUT THIS AREA
DUE TO RAINFALL CONTINUING TO RE-DEVELOP OVER THE SAME AREAS.

THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS HAVE SEEN A PATTERN OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING DURING THE EARLY MORNING HOURS...
PERSISTING THROUGHOUT THE DAY OVER GENERALLY THE SAME AREA... AND
THEN WEAKENING AFTER SUNSET. MODELS SUGGEST THAT THIS PATTERN WILL
PERSIST ACROSS THE REGION FOR THE NEXT TWO DAYS. HIGH POPS WILL CONTINUE
ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA... WITH THE HIGHEST BEING DURING THE
AFTERNOON HOURS. HEAVY RAINFALL AND SOME TRAINING OF CELLS WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE AS UPPER FLOW REMAINS WEAK.

THE UPPER PATTERN WILL SLOWLY BEGIN EVOLVING LATER THIS WEEK. THE
NEWS-MAKING AREA OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT SITUATED ACROSS THE
NORTHEAST CONUS WILL SLOWLY BEGIN TO MIGRATE SOUTHWARD... THEN
WESTWARD ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS LATER THIS WEEK AND INTO THE
WEEKEND. THIS WILL EVENTUALLY RETURN A MORE SEASONAL UPPER PATTERN
TO OUR REGION... LESSENING OUR PRECIPITATION CHANCES AND TURNING UP
THE HEAT TO MORE SEASONAL LEVELS.

DISCUSSION...
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT ORIGINALLY FORMED ALONG A SURFACE
CONVERGENCE BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA HAVE SPREAD
SOUTHEAST...AS OUTFLOW HAS GENERATED NEW CONVECTION AS THE
AFTERNOON HAS PROGRESSED. A VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE REMAINS IN
PLACE...ALONG WITH VERY WEAK WIND FIELDS. THE RESULT CONTINUES TO BE
THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAVE PRODUCED VERY HEAVY RAINFALL THAT HAS LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. WHILE MOST FLOODING ISSUES HAVE BEEN TO
CONFINED TO AREAS ALONG AND NORTHWEST OF INTERSTATE 44...ANY
THUNDERSTORM THAT DEVELOPS ACROSS AREAS THAT HAVE BENEFITED FROM
AFTERNOON SUNSHINE WILL LIKELY PRODUCE INTENSE HEAVY RAINFALL.
ADDITIONALLY... ONE OR TWO STORMS THROUGH EARLY EVENING WILL BE CAPABLE
OF PRODUCING SEVERE DOWNBURST WINDS OF 60 TO 70 MPH. MOST OF THE
ACTIVITY IS ANTICIPATED TO DIMINISH THIS EVENING...AS DAYTIME
HEATING IS LOST.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
LOCAL SPOTTER ACTIVATION IS NOT LIKELY AS SEVERE WEATHER IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN VERY ISOLATED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY.
WEDNESDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
THURSDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.
FRIDAY THROUGH MONDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THE MOIST TROPICAL AIRMASS WILL REMAIN OVER THE REGION FOR SEVERAL MORE
DAYS. MEANWHILE...A DISTURBANCE CURRENTLY OVER LOUISIANA WILL
GRADUALLY LIFT NORTH TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AND WILL OFFER
INCREASED THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE AND HEAVY RAINFALL POTENTIAL THROUGH
THURSDAY. A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL PUSH SOUTH INTO THE AREA LATE IN
THE WEEK...KEEPING THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS GOING
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
