AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
1145 AM CDT SUN MAY 10 2015
...UPDATE...
.DISCUSSION...
A FEW MORE UPDATES TO THE FORECAST TO ADJUST POPS FOR EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. ALSO LOWERED MAX TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES...ESPECIALLY
OVER WEST CENTRAL AR AND SOUTHEAST OK WHERE PRECIPITATION AND
LINGERING CLOUDS SHOULD HOLD TEMPS DOWN.
APPEARS THAT CONVECTION COULD BEGIN BY EARLY TO MID AFTERNOON
ALONG THE COLD FRONT AND MOVE TO THE EAST AND SOUTHEAST. SOME WEAK
CONVECTION INITIATING SOUTH OF ICT AT THIS TIME. IF THIS CONTINUES
TO DEVELOP...MAY NEED TO RAISE POPS FOR PORTIONS OF OSAGE AND PAWNEE
COUNTIES EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.
