.DISCUSSION...
MOIST LIFT OVER FRONTAL BOUNDARY GENERATING
INCREASING SHRA/TSRA COVERAGE SOUTH OF I-40.
ACTION MOVING NORTHEAST AS PWA VALUES CLIMB
NEAR 1.5 INCHES.  ELEVATED STORMS MAY YIELD
LARGE HAIL DURING  AFTERNOON  EARLY EVENING.
AFTERNOON TEMPS  LIMITED BY CLOUD COVER AND

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 643 AM CDT THU APR 21 2011/

DISCUSSION...

THE 12Z AVIATION DISCUSSION IS INCLUDED BELOW.

AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM.
WARM MOIST AIR WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE UP AND OVER A STALLED FRONT
OVER TX TO PRODUCE SCT TSRA AND LOW CIGS THRU THE FORECAST PERIOD.
MODELS ARE SUGGESTING THAT BETTER CHCS FOR TSRA WILL BE AFT 18Z
BUT DUE TO SCT COVERAGE...WILL STAY CONSERVATIVE WITH VCTS
MENTION. MVFR CIGS ARE RAPIDLY SPREADING NORTH THIS MORNING AND
WILL COVER ALL SITES BY 14Z. AS THE WARM FRONT SLOWLY LIFTS NORTH
TONIGHT...CIGS WILL LOWER INTO THE IFR RANGE FOR THE NE OK/NW AR
TAF SITES. MODELS SUGGEST THAT THE BEST CHC FOR TSRA WILL BE AFT
00Z AS THE BOUNDARY LIFTS NORTH AND WARM ADVECTION INCREASES. FOR
THIS PERIOD...I WENT WITH PREVAILING OR TEMPO TSRA.

LACY

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 407 AM CDT THU APR 21 2011/

DISCUSSION...
AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF ACTIVE WEATHER IS EXPECTED INTO EARLY NEXT
WEEK WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAIN AN SEVERE WEATHER EPISODES.

THIS MORNING A FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS ACROSS TEXAS AND NORTHERN
LOUISIANA. AT 850 MB THE FRONT WAS ACROSS SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA AND
SOUTHERN ARKANSAS. SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WERE OCCURRING NEAR
WHERE THE FRONT WAS LOCATED AT 850 MB. THE CURRENT ACTIVITY IS
SHIFTING EAST OUT OF THE FORECAST AREA...BUT SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL REDEVELOP TODAY AS THE FRONTAL SYSTEM BEGINS TO
SHIFT NORTH. THE FRONT AT 850 MB WILL MOVES ACROSS THE AREA...
WHILE AT THE SURFACE THE FRONT IS NOT EXPECTED TO REACH HUGO BEFORE 00Z.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO GAGE THE COVERAGE TODAY AS THE FRONTAL SURFACE
BECOMES MORE SHALLOW...BUT AT LEAST SCATTERED COVERAGE IS
EXPECTED. IF THE COVERAGE BECOMES MORE EXPANSIVE THAN FORECAST...
THEN HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY NEED TO BE LOWERED A FEW DEGREES.
LAPSE RATES WILL SUPPORT THE RISK OF A SEVERE STORM OR TODAY AND TONIGHT WITH
HAIL BEING THE PRIMARY THREAT.

THE SURFACE WARM FRONT WILL CROSS MOST OF THE FORECAST AREA
TONIGHT WITH A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND STORMS. TEMPERATURES WILL
RISE AT MOST LOCATIONS TONIGHT AS THE FRONT PASSES.

ON FRIDAY...THE A COLD WILL PUSH SOUTHEAST INTO THE AREA.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP ON THE FRONT IN THE LATE AFTERNOON
ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND ADVANCE EAST-SOUTHEAST. THE FRONT
WILL SLOW AND STILL BE OVER SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND PERHAPS WEST-
CENTRAL ARKANSAS ON SATURDAY...WITH SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS
CONTINUING NEAR THE FRONT. THIS FRONT WILL FINALLY CLEAR THE AREA
LATE SATURDAY...BUT ONLY TO RETURN NORTH ON SUNDAY. WHAT APPEARS
TO BE A FAIRLY STRONG UPPER SYSTEM WILL APPROACH THE PLAINS ON
LATE SUNDAY AND MONDAY PROVIDING ADDITIONAL LIFT TO PROMOTE
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES. THE PASSAGE OF THIS UPPER SYSTEM WILL LIKELY
BRING AN END TO THE ACTIVE PATTERN IN THIS AREA.

A VERY MOIST ATMOSPHERE IS IN PLACE NOW ACROSS THE SOUTHERN PLAINS
AND THIS WILL SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR HEAVY RAINS DURING THE
TIMES THAT THE FRONT STALLS IN THE AREA. PRECIPITABLE WATER
VALUES ARE CURRENTLY 150 TO 200% OF NORMAL IN PARTS OF
OKALHOMA...ARKANSAS...TEXAS AND LOUISIANA.
