CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM.
CLUSTER OF SHOWER/THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE INTO NE OK TAF SITES AFTER
18Z. THE STRONGER STORMS WILL LIKELY PRODUCE IFR CONDITIONS WITH
BRIEF HEAVY RAINFALL. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED TO SHIFT
INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS BY LATE AFTERNOON/EVENING. SCT/BKN LOW
CLOUDS SHOULD REDEVELOP AGAIN LATE TONIGHT...HOWEVER DID NOT
FORECAST AS LOW OF CEILINGS AS CURRENT MAV/MET GUIDANCE...WHICH
HAS BEEN TOO PESSIMISTIC THE LAST FEW DAYS.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 1059 AM CDT SAT JUN 28 2014/

..UPDATE...

DISCUSSION...
STRONG/ISOLATED SEVERE THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX CONTINUES EASTWARD
THIS MORNING ACROSS NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. AHEAD OF ACTIVITY...
MOIST/UNSTABLE AIR-MASS REMAINS IN PLACE WITH MLCAPE RUNNING INTO
THE 1500-2000 J/KG RANGE. STRONGER FORCING IN ASSOCIATION WITH
UPPER WAVE LIFTING NORTHEAST INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. DEEP LAYER
SHEAR WILL BE SOMEWHAT MARGINAL AS THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX PUSHES
EASTWARD THIS AFTERNOON. BUT...AS SURFACE HEATING CONTINUES...COULD
STILL SEE THE THREAT FOR STRONG TO MARGINALLY SEVERE STORMS AS
CONVECTIVE LINE MOVES THROUGH NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA. THIS SCENARIO IS
IN LINE WITH WITH THE LATEST LOCAL WRF AND HRRR RUNS. UPDATE SENT
PREVIOUSLY TO REFLECT CURRENT THINKING...HOWEVER WILL LIKELY TWEAK
