AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM.
MVFR CEILINGS WILL CONTINUE THIS MORNING OVER MUCH OF THE AREA
BEFORE SLOWLY LIFTING. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE
OVER NW AR TAFS SITES THIS EVENING WITH IFR CONDITIONS IN THE
STRONGER STORMS. OTHERWISE...VFR CONDITIONS EXPECTED BEHIND THE
FRONT AS SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER THE AREA INTO THE
OVERNIGHT HOURS.

PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 417 AM CDT THU APR 3 2014/

DISCUSSION...
A SURFACE LOW WAS LOCATED ACROSS NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA EARLY THIS
MORNING WITH A DRYLINE EXTENDING SOUTHWARD ACROSS WESTERN OKLAHOMA
INTO NORTHERN TEXAS AND A STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY STRETCHING
INTO SOUTHEASTERN KANSAS. THESE FEATURES WILL BE THE MAIN FOCUS
FOR STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY OVER THE NEXT 24-HRS
ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

THE SURFACE LOW AND DRYLINE WILL SHIFT EASTWARD TODAY AS AN UPPER
LEVEL TROF AXIS OVER THE DESERT SOUTHWEST MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS TODAY. AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING DRYLINE...DEWPOINTS IN 60S
AND INCREASING INSTABILITY WILL CONTINUE TO CREATE AN UNSTABLE
ATMOSPHERE ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL INCREASE DURING THE DAY AND INTO THE
EVENING HOURS AS A MODERATE CAP WEAKENS AND THE DRYLINE ENTERS
INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE DRYLINE LOOKS TO
BE POSITIONED NEAR HIGHWAY 75 IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AROUND 18Z AND
APPROACHING HIGHWAY 69 AROUND 21Z. UNSTABLE CONDITIONS WITHIN AN
AREA OF A WEAKENING CAP WILL SUPPORT THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
WEATHER ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. AT THIS
TIME THE GREATER POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE WEATHER LOOKS TO BE ACROSS
FAR EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND ALSO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THROUGH THE
EVENING HOURS. ALL MODES OF SEVERE WEATHER...INCLUDING TORNADOES
WILL BE CAPABLE.

DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS...AS THE DRYLINE ENTERS EASTERN
OKLAHOMA...GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS...WARM TEMPS AND LOW
AFTERNOON RH VALUES WILL CREATE VERY HIGH FIRE DANGERS TO RED FLAG
CONDITIONS ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHEAST AND EAST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.
HAVE ISSUED A RED FLAG WARNING AND ALSO A FIRE DANGER STATEMENT
FOR THE AFTERNOON HOURS FOR THESE LOCATIONS. SEE THE LATEST
/OKCRFWTSA...OKCRFDTSA/ FOR DETAILS.

THE STATIONARY FRONTAL BOUNDARY...CURRENTLY JUST NORTH OF THE
CWA...WILL GET A PUSH SOUTHEASTWARD THIS EVENING AS THE UPPER
LEVEL TROF AXIS LIFTS ACROSS THE PLAINS TONIGHT. THE COLD FRONT IS
FORECAST TO OVERTAKE THE DRYLINE ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA DURING
THE EARLY TO MID EVENING HOURS AND PROCEED TO MOVE THROUGH THE CWA
OVERNIGHT...EXITING EARLY FRIDAY MORNING. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES
SHOULD BEGIN TO TAPPER OFF FROM WEST TO EAST THIS EVENING BEHIND
THE DRYLINE/COLD FRONT AND EXIT THE REGION WITH THE DEPARTING
UPPER LEVEL TROF AND COLD FRONT. BEHIND THE COLD FRONT...BREEZY
NORTHWESTERLY WINDS AND A COOLER AIRMASS WILL FILTER INTO THE
REGION FOR FRIDAY INTO THE WEEKEND. MORNING LOWS EARLY SATURDAY
MORNING COULD REACH NEAR/BELOW THE FREEZING MARK FOR LOCATIONS
NEAR THE KANSAS BORDER AND ALSO FOR FAR NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

CHANCES FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS LOOK TO RETURN TO THE REGION
SATURDAY NIGHT AND SUNDAY AS ANOTHER WAVE MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN
PLAINS. THESE PRECIP CHANCES WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE INTO THE FIRST
PART OF THE NEXT WORK WEEK BEFORE THE UPPER LEVEL TROF AXIS
ASSOCIATED WITH THE WAVE FINALLY SHIFTS OFF TO THE EAST. NORTHERLY
FLOW DURING THIS TIME PERIOD WILL ALLOW FOR THE COOLER CONDITIONS
TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE REGION INTO THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK.
AT THE FAR END/JUST BEYOND OF THE FORECAST PACKAGE...SOUTHERLY
FLOW LOOKS TO RETURN WITH WARMING TEMPS BACK UP NEAR/ABOVE THE
SEASONAL AVERAGE.

	ONSET...THIS AFTERNOON.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...SIGNIFICANT.

	ONSET...ONGOING.

FIRE WEATHER DANGER.
	RISK...ELEVATED.
	AREA...WEST OF HIGHWAY 75 IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA.
	ONSET...MID TO LATE AFTERNOON.

DISCUSSION...
A DRY LINE AND COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP THROUGH EASTERN OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS WILL
IGNITE THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE AFTERNOON. MOIST AIR AHEAD
OF THE FRONT WILL CONTRIBUTE TO INSTABILITY IN EXCESS OF
2000 JOULES/PER KG. STRONG WIND FIELDS WILL CONTRIBUTE TO
SIGNIFICANT SHEAR AND THE LIKELIHOOD OF ROTATING STORM CELLS
AND THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES. THE HIGHEST LIKELIHOOD WILL
BE FAR EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WEST CENTRAL AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.

THUNDERSTORMS RISK WILL DIMINISH BY LATE EVENING.

WINDY CONDITIONS AND VERY DRY AIR BEHIND THE DRY LINE WILL
YIELD AN ELEVATED FIRE THREAT PRIMARILY WEST OF HIGHWAY 75
IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
ACTIVATION OF THE REGIONAL SPOTTER NETWORK EXPECTED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
FRIDAY...VERY HIGH FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
SATURDAY...NO HAZARDS.
SUNDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
MONDAY...NO HAZARDS.
TUESDAY...VERY HIGH FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS WILL CONTINUE BEHIND THE COLD FRONT INTO FRIDAY
WITH COOLER CONDITIONS. ANOTHER STRONG UPPER LEVEL TROUGH WILL
MOVE OUT OF THE DESERT SOUTHWEST AND INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS ON
SUNDAY WITH SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE ACROSS SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA. GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS ON TUESDAY...BEHIND THE DEPARTING
SYSTEM...WILL AGAIN CREATE AN INCREASED FIRE DANGER THREAT.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
MONITOR THE LATEST FORECASTS AS DETAILS AND POTENTIAL IMPACTS
CONTINUE TO BE REFINED THROUGHOUT THE DAY. A REVIEW OF SEVERE
WEATHER SAFETY AND ACTION PLANS IS RECOMMENDED.
