AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
605 AM CDT MON APR 25 2011

.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM.
IFR TO MVFR CONDITIONS WILL BE COMMON ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THROUGH THE VALID PERIOD. ALL AREA
TAF SITES HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO BE AFFECTED BY THUNDERSTORMS
INTO THIS EVENING AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAFFLES BACK AND FORTH
ACROSS THE AREA AS AN UPPER LEVEL DISTURBANCE MOVES ACROSS THE
PLAINS.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 400 AM CDT MON APR 25 2011/

DISCUSSION...
CONVECTION CONTINUES TO BLOSSOM OVER THE PAST HOUR IN VICINITY OF
AN ELEVATED FRONTAL ZONE LIFTING NORTHWARD ACROSS NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA. ELEVATED INSTABILITIES WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT A RISK
OF LARGE HAIL...WHILE PERIODS OF HEAVY RAIN WILL CONTINUE AND ONLY
WORSEN ANY ONGOING FLOODING. THE FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN
EXPANDED ALONG THE AXIS OF OBSERVED HEAVIEST RAINS GIVEN THE
EXPECTED COVERAGE OF THUNDERSTORMS TODAY. THE EXPECTED SCENARIO IS
FOR STORMS TO CONTINUE TO INCREASE IN COVERAGE THIS
MORNING...PRIMARILY OVER THE NORTHERN HALF OF THE FORECAST AREA
WHILE STORMS ONGOING ACROSS NORTHEAST TEXAS SPREAD INTO SOUTHERN
AREA. THE SURFACE WARM FRONT WILL ATTEMPT TO WORK NORTHWARD LATER
THIS MORNING AS STRONG FORCING OVERSPREADS THE REGION AND THE
LOCATION OF THIS FRONTAL ZONE WILL BE KEY IN MARKING THE AREAS
MOST LIKELY FOR SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER. EXPECTATIONS ARE THAT
FRONT WILL STRUGGLE TO MAKE IT FURTHER THAN THE INTERSTATE 44
CORRIDOR...WITH THE TERRAIN OF NORTHWEST ARKANSAS ALSO CAUSING
ISSUES IN DEFINING THE FRONTAL ZONE. LOCATIONS SOUTHEAST OF THE
WARM FRONT WILL ATTAIN HIGHER INSTABILITIES AND PROVIDE A CORRIDOR
FOR SUPERCELLS ORIGINATING OVER NORTH TEXAS LATER THIS MORNING.
ONCE THESE STORMS DEVELOP AND SPREAD NORTHEASTWARD THEY WILL
PRODUCE ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER INCLUDING TORNADOES. IN
ADDITION...LOCATIONS THAT ARE EXPERIENCING SEVERE FLOODING WILL BE
PRONE TO A RAPID ONSET OF WORSENING CONDITIONS AS THE HEAVIER
RAINS DEVELOP.

THE COLD FRONT WITH THIS WAVE WILL PASS THROUGH THE AREA BY MID
EVENING ENDING THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT. THIS FRONT WILL MAKE A
PUSH INTO NORTH TEXAS BEFORE STALLING...AND WORKING NORTHWARD ON
TUESDAY AS ANOTHER STRONG WAVE MOVES INTO THE PLAINS. HOW FAR
NORTH THE WARM FRONT MAKES IT ON TUESDAY WILL MARK THE NORTHERN
PERIPHERY OF THE DEVELOPING WEATHER EVENT WHICH WILL COMMENCE
TUESDAY EVENING...AND SPREAD EASTWARD TUESDAY NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY.
THIS EVENT HAS POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE EXTREMELY VIOLENT
WEATHER...AND WHILE THE WORST WILL BE EAST AND SOUTH OF OUR
FORECAST AREA...INTERESTS ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST
CENTRAL ARKANSAS SHOULD MONITOR THIS FORECAST CAREFULLY.

SEASONABLY COOL WEATHER EXPECTED WEDNESDAY WITH WARMER AND DRY
WEATHER THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. THE NEXT FRONT ARRIVES SATURDAY AND
SATURDAY NIGHT WITH A CHANCE OF STORMS...AND LIKELY A SEVERE
WEATHER RISK PENDING THE DEGREE OF MOISTURE RETURN.

DISCUSSION...
SCATTERED ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS MORNING NORTH OF FRONTAL BOUNDARY
THAT IS ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST-CENTRAL ARKANSAS. THIS
ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. SOME OF
THESE STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING LARGE HAIL. OTHER
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WERE LOCATED ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA AND SHOULD EXIT THE AREA EARLY THIS MORNING.

ADDITIONAL STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP LATE
THIS MORNING AND EARLY AFTERNOON ACROSS NORTHEAST TEXAS AND MOVE INTO
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST-CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS A MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
MOVES OUT OF THE ROCKIES AND INTO THE PLAINS. AS THE MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
MOVES INTO THE PLAINS THIS MORNING...THE SURFACE FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL
MOVE BACK TO THE NORTH AS A WARM FRONT ALLOWING THE AIRMASS ACROSS
SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WEST-CENTRAL ARKANSAS TO BECOME INCREASINGLY
UNSTABLE. WITH MORE THAN ADEQUATE LOW LEVEL WIND SHEAR...THE STORMS
ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST-CENTRAL ARKANSAS WILL BECOME SUPER CELLS
WITH THE POTENTIAL TO PRODUCE TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS.
MEANWHILE...NORTH OF THE FRONT ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS...THE STORMS WILL BE MORE ELEVATED IN NATURE WITH LARGE HAIL
THE MAIN CONCERN. THE STORMS SHOULD EXIT THE AREA BY MIDNIGHT AS THE
MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE AND ASSOCIATED SURFACE FRONT MOVE SOUTH AND EAST
OF THE AREA.

HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE MAJOR CONCERN ACROSS MUCH
OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AS SEVERAL DAYS OF HEAVY
RAINS HAS LEFT THE GROUND SATURATED. THE LOCATIONS ACROSS NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THAT ARE ALREADY SEEING SERIOUS FLOODING
CONDITIONS COULD RECEIVE ANOTHER 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN THROUGH TONIGHT
WHICH WILL AGGRAVATE AN ALREADY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

TUESDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
THURSDAY...NO HAZARDS.
FRIDAY...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
SATURDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
SUNDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THE FRONT THAT HAS BEEN PLAGUING THE AREA FOR THE LAST FEW DAYS
WILL MOVE BACK NORTH INTO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST-CENTRAL
ARKANSAS AS A WARM FRONT ON TUESDAY. SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST-CENTRAL
ARKANSAS TUESDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING AS ANOTHER MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE
MOVES ACROSS THE REGION. TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS
WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE. THE THREAT FOR THUNDERSTORMS IS EXPECTED
TO END WEDNESDAY MORNING AS THE MID-LEVEL SHORTWAVE PUSHES OFF TO
THE EAST.

HEAVY RAIN AND FLOODING WILL CONTINUE TO BE A CONCERN ON TUESDAY
AS SOME LOCATIONS ACROSS SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA COULD SEE 1 TO 2 INCHES
OF RAIN.
