.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 253 PM CDT FRI MAY 8 2015/

DISCUSSION...

SIGNIFICANT FLOODING AND POTENTIAL SEVERE WEATHER CONCERNS ACROSS
EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN ARKANSAS REMAIN ONGOING TODAY...AND
WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEKEND.

AT PRESENT...A WARM FRONT IS EVIDENT IN SURFACE AND SATELLITE
OBSERVATIONS EXTENDING FROM SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA...NORTHEASTWARD
INTO CENTRAL AND PARTS OF EAST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...AND BACK
SOUTHEASTWARD THROUGH FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA. DESTABILIZATION IS
OCCURING TO THE SOUTH OF THE FRONT...WITH LOW TO MID 70S DEW
POINTS PREVALENT. 18Z SOUNDINGS FROM OUN AND FWD ARE INDICATIVE OF
A HIGHLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE...AND MESOANALYSES SHOW A TONGUE OF
THIS INSTABILITY EXTENDING NORTHWARD INTO PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
AND NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA ROUGHLY BETWEEN THE INTERSTATE 35 AND
HIGHWAY 75 TO 69 CORRIDORS. AS SUCH...ONGOING ACTIVITY IN
SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA /ASSOCIATED WITH AN UPPER LEVEL SPEED MAX/ MAY
HAVE A TENDENCY TO MOVE/SPREAD TO THE NORTHEAST TOWARD PARTS OF
EAST CENTRAL AND PERHAPS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AS OPPOSED TO SIMPLY
THE EAST NEAR THE RED RIVER. THE LOCAL WRF AND THE LATEST
INFORMATION FROM THE HRRR SUPPORT THIS SCENARIO...WITH ADDITIONAL
STORMS LIKELY TO MAKE A MID TO LATE EVENING RUN ALONG THE RED
RIVER IN RESPONSE TO AN INCREASE IN THE LOW LEVEL JET. THE OVERALL
TORNADO THREAT SHOULD BE FAIRLY LOW ACROSS MUCH OF THE FORECAST
AREA...ALTHOUGH A LOCALLY HIGHER THREAT WILL EXIST NEAR THE WARM
FRONT AND ALSO ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA WITH THE INCREASE IN
THE LOW LEVEL JET.

WITH WELL ABOVE NORMAL PRECIPITABLE WATER VALUES AND HIGHLY
EFFICIENT RAINFALL PROCESSES LIKELY TO CONTINUE ACROSS THE
FORECAST AREA...SIGNIFICANT FLOODING CONCERNS WILL
PERSIST...ESPECIALLY IN AREAS THAT HAVE OVERLY WET ANTECEDENT
CONDITIONS. THROUGH THE NEXT 12 TO 18 HOURS...IT APPEARS THAT
SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA WILL HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF
FLOODING...ALTHOUGH IT IS BY NO MEANS ZERO IN OTHER PARTS OF
EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN ARKANSAS.

AS HAS BEEN SAID A LOT IN THE LAST FEW DAYS...SATURDAY/S SEVERE
THREAT WILL BE VERY DEPENDENT ON WHAT HAPPENS LATER TONIGHT AND
INTO SATURDAY MORNING. STORMS COULD LINGER ACROSS PARTS OF
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS INTO SATURDAY
MORNING...BEFORE MOVING OUT BY MID MORNING. ADDITIONAL
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD DEVELOP TO THE WEST...AHEAD OF THE DRYLINE...
EARLY TO MID MORNING...AND BEGIN TO MOVE INTO SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA
LATE MORNING TO EARLY AFTERNOON. THESE STORMS WILL SPREAD TO THE
EAST AND NORTHEAST FROM THERE. IF SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY CAN
DEVELOP BEHIND THE EARLY MORNING STORMS AND IN ADVANCE OF THE
LATER ROUND...A SEVERE THREAT WILL EXIST IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA
BEGINNING AS SOON AS EARLY AFTERNOON...ALTHOUGH MODEST DEEP LAYER
SHEAR COULD LIMIT THE SEVERITY UNTIL LATER IN THE DAY. A VEERED
LOW LEVEL JET LOOKS TO MOVE INTO PARTS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA MID TO
LATE AFTERNOON WHICH WOULD LEAD TO AN INCREASE IN THE TORNADO
THREAT.

THE COLD FRONT AND DRYLINE WILL FINALLY MAKE A PUSH TOWARD THE
EAST AND SOUTHEAST LATE SATURDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHT...AS THE MAIN
UPPER LOW FINALLY EJECTS INTO THE CENTRAL PLAINS. THIS SHOULD
BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD THUNDERSTORMS AND HEAVY
RAINFALL...WITH THIS SAME RISK PERSISTING INTO SUNDAY AND SUNDAY
NIGHT UNTIL THE BOUNDARIES FINALLY CLEAR THE REGION. STILL THINK
THE BEST CHANCE OF WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER IN THE FORECAST AREA
MAY BE SUNDAY...ALTHOUGH THE IMPACT MAY NOT BE AS GREAT AS THE
POTENTIAL FOR LATER TODAY AND TOMORROW.

ON THE RAINFALL FRONT...A WIDESPREAD 3 TO 6 INCHES OF RAINFALL
SHOULD OCCUR BEFORE ALL IS SAID AND DONE MONDAY MORNING...WITH
LOCAL AMOUNTS APPROACHING 10 INCHES. WIDESPREAD RIVER FLOODING AND
FLASH FLOOD POTENTIAL MAY VERY WELL END UP BEING THE BIG STORY
FROM THIS EVENT.

EARLY NEXT WEEK THERE SHOULD BE A DAY OR TWO WHERE SURFACE HIGH
PRESSURE LEADS TO A COOL AND DRY PERIOD...BUT MOISTURE MAKES A
QUICK RETURN TOWARD THE MIDDLE PART OF NEXT WEEK...BRINGING MORE
THUNDERSTORMS AND RAINFALL TO THE REGION.

THUNDERSTORMS LIKELY TO AFFECT THE FORECAST AREA. SATURDAY WILL
LIKELY BE A DAY OF WIDESPREAD SEVERE WEATHER ACROSS MUCH OF THE

LIKELY. THESE STORMS HAVE POTENTIAL TO SPREAD INTO EASTERN OKLAHOMA
AND POSSIBLY WESTERN ARKANSAS BY LATE SATURDAY. SUNDAY WILL AGAIN BE
A SEVERE WEATHER DAY AS A COLD FRONT MOVES SLOWLY THROUGH THE AREA.
IN ADDITION TO THE SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL...SEVERAL ROUNDS OF
WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINFALL ARE EXPECTED WHICH WILL MAKE FLOODING
LIKELY FOR PARTS OF THE AREA...WITH THE HEAVIEST RAINS EXPECTED TO
BE ON SUNDAY.

AFTER THE WEEKEND...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL WILL DECREASE
CONSIDERABLY EARLY IN THE WEEK...AND WILL INCREASE LATER IN THE
WEEK. SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL WILL BE LOW BEYOND THIS WEEKEND AS
THE FLOW ALOFT WEAKENS OVER OUR REGION.
