AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
549 PM CDT SAT APR 23 2011

.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM.

STATIONARY FRONT REMAINS ACROSS THE AREA...WITH CONVECTION ONGOING
ACROSS NW AR JUST N OF THE BNDRY. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS
DEVELOPING IN N TX THAT WILL MOVE NEWRD AND AFFECT MLC/FSM AFTER
00Z. S/WV WILL MOVE INTO E OK AFTER 06Z THAT WILL DRAMATICALLY
INCR AREAL COVERAGE OF STORMS...AND BRING A PROLONGED PERIOD OF
TSRA TO THE TERMINALS. NW AR TERMINALS WILL SEE TSRA FOR MUCH OF
THE VALID TAF PERIOD. MVFR CIGS/VSBYS SHOULD PREVAIL FOR MUCH OF
THE PERIOD AT ALL SITES...WITH IFR CONDS LIKELY IN HEAVIER
STORMS...ESPECIALLY FYV/XNA. ADDITIONAL STORMS WILL DEVELOP ALONG
THE BNDRY AFTER 18Z TOMORROW.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 332 PM CDT SAT APR 23 2011/

DISCUSSION...
THUNDERSTORMS MOVED NORTHEAST OUT OF THE AREA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON...
JUST IN TIME FOR THE NEXT ROUND OF CONVECTION TO BEGIN. THE LATEST
IN A SERIES OF UPPER DISTURBANCES WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION IN
CONJUNCTION WITH AFTERNOON HEATING SOUTH OF A STATIONARY FRONT.
THIS IS EXPECTED TO INITIATE ANOTHER ROUND OF SEVERE CONVECTION
THIS AFTERNOON INTO THIS EVENING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST PORTION OF
THE CWA. IN ADDITION... MORE WIDESPREAD STRONG ELEVATED
THUNDERSTORMS WITH HEAVY RAINFALL ARE EXPECTED TO TRACK
NORTHEASTWARD GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT OVERNIGHT.
WITH GENERALLY SLOW MOVEMENT AND TRAINING OF CELLS... FLASH
FLOODING MAY BECOME A CONCERN AND WILL ISSUE A WATCH FOR MUCH OF
THE AREA SHORTLY.

THE SURFACE FRONT IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN RELATIVELY STATIONARY ACROSS
THE REGION FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS. PERSISTENT SOUTHWEST UPPER FLOW
CONTAINING A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES WILL INTERACT WITH A GOOD SUPPLY
OF LOW LEVEL MOISTURE TO KEEP CHANCES FOR HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE
FORECAST. TO COMPLICATE ISSUES... IT APPEARS THAT A DEEPER UPPER
TROUGH FOLLOWED BY AN UPPER LOW WILL TRAVERSE THE REGION BEFORE THE
PATTERN CHANGES. HEALTHY RAINFALL TOTALS OVER 5 INCHES COULD BE SEEN
IN SOME LOCATIONS OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS... DEPENDING ON THE
VARYING POSITION OF THE FRONT.

...PERIODS OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAIFNALL EXPECTED THROUGH
THE WEEKEND...

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS WELL AS
MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA.

.DAY ONE...LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH TONIGHT.

TORNADO.
	RISK...LIMITED.
	AREA...SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...AFTER 6 PM.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...ONGOING.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...SIGNIFICANT.
	AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

        AREA AT GREATEST RISK...NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
        ARKANSAS.

HEAVY RAIN.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
        ONSET...ONGOING.

DISCUSSION...
A STATIONARY FRONT ARCED FROM FAR NORTHERN ARKANSAS...WEST CENTRAL
ARKANSAS AND INTO FAR NORTHERN TEXAS LATE THIS AFTERNOON. SCATTERED
THUNDERSTORMS MAINLY NORTH OF THIS BOUNDARY WILL POSE A THREAT OF
LARGE HAIL ACROSS PARTS OF FAR EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS INTO THE EARLY EVENING.

ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING NEAR THE SURFACE BOUNDARY ACROSS
NORTHERN TEXAS WILL MOVE INTO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA BY EARLY THIS
EVENING AND EVENTUALLY INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS DURING THE EVENING HOURS.
SHEAR AND INSTABILITY ARE SUFFICIENT TO SUPPORT CLUSTERS OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS AND POSSIBLY A FEW SUPERCELLS. LARGE HAIL WILL BE THE
PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT...ALTHOUGH A LIMITED TORNADO THREAT
EXISTS INTO THE EVENING...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE SURFACE BOUNDARY.

AS THE LOW-LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS TONIGHT...AREAS OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP NORTH OF THE FRONT...PRIMARILY ACROSS
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. LARGE HAIL WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH A FEW OF THE STORMS...WITH THE THREAT OF HEAVY
RAINFALL AND POSSIBLE FLASH FLOODING INCREASING LATE TONIGHT. SOME
LOCATIONS MAY RECEIVE ANOTHER 2 TO 3 INCHES OF RAIN BY DAYBREAK.

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

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HEAVY RAIN
POTENTIAL.
TUESDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF
NEXT WEEK. THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THAT IS CURRENTLY ACROSS THE AREA
WILL REMAIN NEARLY STATIONARY WHILE THE FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE
SOUTHWESTERLY. SEVERAL ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED SUNDAY
INTO MONDAY AS A SERIES OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES EMBEDDED IN
UPPER FLOW TRAVERSE THE AREA. A POTENT UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE WILL
MOVE ACROSS THE AREA MONDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING ENHANCING THE
THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS. AN EVEN MORE SIGNIFICANT UPPER LEVEL
SHORTWAVE WILL MOVE ACROSS THE REGION TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT.
THE CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL FINALLY COME TO AN END BY
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON AS THIS LAST SHORTWAVE FINALLY USHERS THE
STALLED BOUNDARY OFF TO THE SOUTH AND EAST.

DURING THIS PERIOD OF UNSETTLED WEATHER...SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SEVERE
THUNDERSTORMS CAN BE EXPECTED. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BOUTS OF
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS COULD COME MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AND AGAIN
TUESDAY EVENING. HEAVY RAIN AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING
AND RIVER FLOODING WILL BECOME MORE OF A CONCERN SUNDAY AND INTO
EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE GROUND BECOME MORES SATURATED.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR THE POTENTIAL
OF SEVERAL ROUNDS OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY RAINS...WHICH
COULD LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING AND POSSIBLY RIVER FLOODING.
