.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM.
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH 01Z OR 02Z.
SURFACE HEATING WILL DIMINISH AND EXPECT CONVECTION TO DO THE
SAME. VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL...ALTHOUGH IT WILL TAKE TIL
03-04Z TO DISSIPATE MOST OF THE CLOUDS. GENERALLY LIGHT OR

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 300 PM CDT WED AUG 3 2011/

DISCUSSION...
HISTORIC HEAT WAVE CONTINUES THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS EASTERN
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS WITH A FEW LOCATIONS LIKELY
REACHING ALL TIME HIGH TEMPERATURES. FRONTAL BOUNDARY IS CURRENTLY
LOCATED ALONG THE INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR. SOUTH OF BOUNDARY...
TEMPERATURES HAVE SOARED INTO THE 110-115 DEGREE RANGE WITH LIGHT
WESTERLY FLOW/EXTREMELY DRY SOIL CONDITIONS.  ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN OF SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA
THROUGH EARLY EVENING. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS COULD ALSO DEVELOP
ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA THIS EVENING ALONG/NORTH OF BOUNDARY
IN POCKET OF SLIGHTLY DEEPER MOISTURE.

REMNANTS OF BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY REMAIN ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
ON THURSDAY AND AGAIN COULD SEE ISOLATED TO WIDELY SCATTERED
AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORMS...WHICH COULD PROVIDE SOME BRIEF
LOCALIZED RELIEF FROM THE HEAT. OPERATIONAL MODELS DIFFER ON
PRECIPITATION COVERAGE AND AT THIS POINT...NOT TOO OPTIMISTIC ON
OVERALL RAINFALL CHANCES.

UPPER HIGH STILL FORECAST TO RETROGRADE INTO THE WESTERN CONUS THIS
WEEKEND INTO THE EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.  STORMS WILL LIKELY
DEVELOP ON THE PERIPHERY OF UPPER HIGH AS NORTHWEST FLOW ALOFT
DEVELOPS.  THIS SHOULD ALLOW FOR AT LEAST LOW THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES
ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA/NORTHWEST ARKANSAS EACH DAY. GENERALLY
EXPECT THUNDERSTORM CHANCES TO REMAIN LOW AND THUS TRENDED
TEMPERATURES TOWARD THE WARMER/DRIER ECMWF SOLUTION...WHICH HAS
BEEN MUCH BETTER OF LATE. ALSO EXTENDED EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING
THROUGH SATURDAY AND THIS WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE EXTENDED FURTHER
IF FORECAST CONTINUES AS EXPECTED.

A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY HAD PUSHED INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA

DEVELOP. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAD ALSO DEVELOPED
ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN LOCATIONS OF SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST
CENTRAL ARKANSAS. SOME OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
BECOMING STRONG TO SEVERE WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND LARGE HAIL.
CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE

ALLOW FOR CONTINUED THUNDERSTORM CHANCES MAINLY ACROSS NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. THE RIDGE LOOKS TO FLATTEN OUT
SOME DURING THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK WITH A FRONTAL BOUNDARY
POSSIBLY PUSHING INTO THE REGION. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR A CONTINUED
