.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 331 AM CDT SUN MAY 10 2015/

DISCUSSION...
THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAVE PRODUCED SPORADIC SEVERE WINDS AND
WIDESPREAD FLOODING ACROSS PARTS OF SE OK AND WRN AR ARE GRADUALLY
EXITING THE FORECAST AREA EARLY THIS MORNING. WE SHOULD SEE A
FEW HOURS OF LIMITED PRECIPITATION COVERAGE THIS MORNING BEFORE
YET ANOTHER ROUND OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS LIFTS NE FROM TX INTO
ERN OK/WRN AR BY MID-MORNING AND INTO THE AFTERNOON. AS WE'VE
SEEN THE PAST FEW DAYS...THE CONVECTIVE MODE WILL REMAIN QUITE
MESSY ALTHOUGH STRENGTHENING MID-LEVEL FLOW WILL SUPPORT SOME
SEVERE WEATHER.

THE NAM HAS REMAINED CONSISTENT IN DEVELOPING LATE AFTERNOON/EARLY
EVENING CONVECTION ACROSS SE KS INTO PARTS OF OK AS THE PACIFIC
FRONT OVERTAKES THE DRYLINE. ADDITIONAL SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE
POSSIBLE IF THIS OCCURS...WITH THUNDERSTORMS SWEEPING SE ACROSS THE
ENTIRE FORECAST AREA BEFORE EXITING BY EARLY MONDAY MORNING.

BIGGEST CONCERN OVER THE NEXT 24 HOURS WILL BE THE CONTINUATION OF
FLASH FLOODING...AS THUNDERSTORMS TRAIN ACROSS AREAS OF ERN OK AND
WRN AR WHERE BETWEEN 3 TO 8 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN OVER THE PAST
FEW DAYS. PRECIP WATER VALUES AT OR ABOVE 1.5 INCHES WILL RESULT IN
EFFICIENT RAINFALL RATES...WITH ANOTHER 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAINFALL
LIKELY ESPECIALLY ACROSS SE OK/WRN AR.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY...SHUNTING THE
BEST MOISTURE S OF THE AREA. MOIST SLY/SWLY FLOW WILL RETURN AS THE
HIGH PRESSURE SLIDES E...WITH THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES INCREASING BY
MID TO LATE WEEK. BEST CHANCES AT THIS TIME LOOK TO BE WEDNESDAY
NIGHT INTO THURSDAY...WITH ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL POSSIBLE.
