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

LINE OF TRAINING CONVECTION HAS DEVELOPED ALONG THE FRONTAL
SURFACE FROM MLC TO FYV. LINE HAS SLOWLY BEEN SAGGING
SOUTHWARD...BUT MLC/FYV/FSM SHOULD SEE HEAVY RAIN IN TS THROUGH
MUCH OF THE FIRST 6 HOURS OF THE TAF. NEAR SEVERE WIND GUSTS MAY
OCCUR DURG THE TIME FRAME OF ABOUT 2315Z THROUGH 0030Z AT FSM.
ADDITIONAL SHRA/TSRA WILL BE LIKELY THROUGH THE NIGHT AT ALL
TERMINALS. FRONT WILL MOVE NORTHWARD BY TOMORROW...BRINGING
SOUTHERLY WINDS AND LIFTING CIGS TO THE TERMINALS. ADDITIONAL TSRA
WILL BE POSSIBLE AS THE FRONT MOVES SOUTH AGAIN TOWARD THE END OF
THE VALID TAF PERIOD.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 318 PM CDT SUN APR 24 2011/

DISCUSSION...
MODERATE TO HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE MOVED ACROSS MOST
OF THE REGION THROUGHOUT THE DAY TODAY. A BROAD... CONTINUOUS
SWATH OF 3 TO 6 INCH RAINFALL TOTALS LIES FROM WESTERN CREEK AND
OKFUSKEE COUNTIES IN EAST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA TO NORTHERN BENTON AND
CARROLL COUNTIES IN NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. THE WEATHER REGIME THAT
HAS PRODUCED THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH
MONDAY... WITH THE STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY CONTINUING TO BE
THE FOCUS FOR HEAVY RAINFALL. SOIL HAS BECOME SATURATED AND AS
RAINFALL TOTALS CONTINUE TO ADD UP... FLOODING ISSUES WILL BECOME
MORE NUMEROUS ACROSS THE REGION.

AN UPPER LOW WILL FINALLY MOVE ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS MONDAY INTO
TUESDAY... WHICH WILL GIVE THE PERSISTENT STATIONARY FRONT A PUSH TO
THE SOUTHEAST. HOWEVER... UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO
RESIDE ALONG AND SOUTH OF THE FRONT. WITH THE INCREASED UPPER AND
LOWER LEVEL DYNAMICS... CHANCES FOR SEVERE STORMS ACROSS OUR
SOUTHEASTERN COUNTIES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE GREATLY MONDAY AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.

TUESDAY SHOULD PROVIDE A BRIEF RESPITE FROM THE NEARLY CONTINUOUS
THUNDERSTORM AND RAINFALL ACTIVITY. HOWEVER... MODELS HAVE BEEN
CONSISTENT IN SWINGING ONE FINAL LOBE OF THE DEPARTING UPPER LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM ACROSS THE REGION LATE TUESDAY. THIS LOBE
AND ASSOCIATED VORT MAX WILL QUICKLY GENERATE A SURFACE FRONT THAT
WILL SWING THROUGH THE REGION... INTERACTING WITH THE REMAINING LOW
LEVEL  MOISTURE TO PRODUCE ANOTHER ROUND OF CONVECTIVE STORMS LATE
TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY.

LESS CLOUDINESS... WARMER TEMPERATURES... AND A MORE TRANQUIL
WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED FROM THURSDAY INTO NEXT WEEKEND.

A STATIONARY BOUNDARY REMAINS DRAPED ACROSS SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA
INTO THE ARKANSAS RIVER VALLEY LATE THIS AFTERNOON...WITH ONGOING
THUNDERSTORMS GENERALLY ALONG AND NORTH OF THE FRONT. A FEW OF THESE
STORMS COULD BECOME SEVERE INTO THE EVENING HOURS...WITH LARGE HAIL
AND DAMAGING WINDS POSSIBLE. ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS MAY MOVE INTO
OR DEVELOP IN THE WARM SECTOR ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO THE
EVENING...WHERE CAP STRENGTH REMAINS MINIMIZED. ANY STORM THAT
DEVELOPS NEAR OR ON THE BOUNDARY COULD POSE A TORNADO THREAT...AT
LEAST INTO THE EARLY TO MID EVENING.

HEAVY RAINFALL WILL BE A MAJOR CONCERN THIS EVENING AND THROUGH THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS...WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUING AS THE
LOW-LEVEL JET STRENGTHENS. WIDESPREAD 2 TO 3 INCH RAINFALL HAS
OCCURRED OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS...WITH LOCAL AMOUNTS AROUND 4 TO 5
INCHES IN PARTS OF NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND EAST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.
TRAINING OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL EASILY RESULT IN AN ADDITIONAL INCH
OR TWO OF RAIN OVERNIGHT...RESULTING IN FLASH FLOODING AND PROLONGED
PERIODS OF AREAL AND RIVER FLOODING ACROSS THE REGION. SEVERAL AREA
RIVERS...ESPECIALLY IN THE ILLINOIS RIVER BASIN...WILL REMAIN IN
FLOOD INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...

POTENTIAL AND HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THE THREAT FOR SEVERE WEATHER AND HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE INTO
TUESDAY BEFORE FINALLY EXITING TO THE SOUTH AND EAST TUESDAY
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE MONDAY
AFTERNOON/EVENING AND AGAIN TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS A SERIES
OF UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCES MOVE ACROSS THE PLAINS. THERE WILL BE
THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WITH
BOTH ROUNDS OF SEVERE WEATHER. THE BEST CHANCES FOR TORNADOES WILL
BE ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING WILL BE A MAJOR CONCERN MONDAY AND
TUESDAY AS THE GROUND HAS BECOME MORE SATURATED. FURTHER DETAILS
SEE THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH /OKCFFATSA/ THAT HAS BEEN POSTED THROUGH
MONDAY NIGHT FOR PORTIONS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
