.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 636 PM CDT TUE JUL 1 2014/

AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM.
MAINLY VFR CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE FORECAST PERIOD.
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE DEVELOPED ALONG A SLOW
MOVING SURFACE BOUNDARY FROM NEAR MLC TO NEAR FSM AND THIS
ACTIVITY MAY PERSIST IN THIS SAME GENERAL AREA FOR MUCH OF THE
NIGHT. CONDITIONS MAY BRIEFLY LOWER TO MVFR OR LOWER IF A STRONGER
STORM AFFECTS MLC OR FSM OVERNIGHT.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 328 PM CDT TUE JUL 1 2014/

DISCUSSION...

AN IMPRESSIVE UPPER TROUGH FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR IS IN PLACE OVER
THE NORTH CENTRAL CONUS TODAY. A CONVECTIVELY INDUCED VORT LIES ON
ITS SOUTHERN FLANK AND IS MOVING EAST OF OUR AREA INTO MISSOURI.
ANOTHER STRONG VORT LOBE IS DROPPING SOUTH OVER THE CENTRAL PLAINS
EMBEDDED WITHIN THE LARGER SCALE TROUGH. AT THE SURFACE...A
BOUNDARY PRODUCED BY LAST NIGHT'S CONVECTION LIES FROM NW AR
ACROSS EAST CENTRAL OK. THE SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT LIES FROM NE NM
ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KS UP TOWARD THE KC METRO. THE LATEST SHORT
TERM GUIDANCE SUGGESTS ISOLATED TO WDLY SCATTERED STORMS ALONG THE
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...TRENDING LOWER WITH COVERAGE POSSIBLY BASED ON
SOME POSSIBLE SUBSIDENCE IN THE WAKE OF THE MISSOURI WAVE. CHANCES
FOR STORMS WILL INCREASE TONIGHT...ESPECIALLY AFTER MIDNIGHT...AS
A GLANCING BLOW OF UPPER FORCING FROM THE CENTRAL PLAINS SHORTWAVE
PASSES BY AND INTERACTS WITH THE STALLED BOUNDARY DOWN SOUTH. IN
RESPONSE TO DYNAMIC PRESSURE RISES ON THE BACK SIDE OF THE UPPER
TROUGH...THE SYNOPTIC FRONT WILL SURGE SOUTH TONIGHT INTO
WEDNESDAY...WITH THE BOUNDARY DOWN CLOSE TO THE RED RIVER. THE
POPS DOWN SOUTH FOR TOMORROW FROM THE PREVIOUS FORECAST WILL BE
MAINTAINED. SHOULD BE A NICE DAY ACROSS NE OK AND NW AR WITH DRIER
AIR MOVING IN BEHIND THE FRONT. THURSDAY AND FRIDAY MORNINGS WILL
BE QUITE PLEASANT...WITH 50S AND LOW 60S IN THE FORECAST ACROSS NE
OK AND NW AR AS WELL. NOT QUITE RECORDS...BUT WE'LL TAKE WHAT WE
CAN GET.

HEIGHT RISES IN THE WAKE OF THE UPPER TROUGH WILL LIKELY BRING
GOOD WEATHER FOR THE FOURTH OF JULY FESTIVITIES. THE REMAINDER OF
THE FORECAST LOOKS TRANQUIL...HOT AND HUMID OVERALL...WITH LITTLE
GOING ON ALOFT OVER OUR AREA. THERE IS SOME HINT FROM THE EURO OF
A DISTURBANCE WRAPPING AROUND THE RIDGE ON SUNDAY...AND A WEAK
FRONTAL INTRUSION TUESDAY...WHICH COULD BRING SOME CHANCE OF
THUNDER.
