AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
339 PM CDT MON JUN 29 2015

.DISCUSSION...
WEAK SFC BOUNDARY LOCATED ACROSS FAR SE OK WILL REMAIN ON
PERIPHERY OF UPWARD INFLUENCE FROM COMPACT WAVE CURRENTLY CENTERED
OVER FAR NW AR. AN ISOLATED STORM WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE ALONG AND
SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY THROUGH MID EVENING UNTIL INHIBITION
STRENGTHENS SUFFICIENTLY.

LOW LEVEL THERMAL FIELDS EXPAND EASTWARD TUES/WED SUPPORTING A
CONTINUED WARMING TREND AND EFFECTIVELY CAPPING DEEP CONVECTION
FOR ALL BUT THE FAR EASTERN PERIPHERY OF THE FORECAST AREA.
ADDITIONALLY DEEPER MOISTURE CURRENTLY OVER EAST TX WILL STREAM
NORTHWARD RESULTING IN HOT HEAT INDEX VALUES FOR ALL OF THE AREA.

GOOD AGREEMENT AMONGST NUMERICAL DATA THAT CONVECTION WILL IGNITE
TUESDAY NIGHT ACROSS THE CENTRAL PLAINS TRACKING SOUTHEASTWARD
TOWARD FAR NE OK / FAR NW AR LATE TUES NIGHT THROUGH WED MORNING.
OUTFLOW AND/OR CONVECTIVE DEBRIS MAY HOLD TEMPS DOWN SLIGHTLY BY
WED AFTERNOON HOWEVER OUTSIDE OF THIS INFLUENCE THERMAL FIELDS
SUPPORT TEMPS INTO THE MID/UPPER 90S.

HEIGHTS FALL BY LATE WEEK W/ A WEAK FRONTAL BOUNDARY PUSHING INTO
NE OK LATE THURSDAY...WITH CONVECTION LIKELY DEVELOPING ALONG THE
BOUNDARY AND AIDING IN ITS FURTHER SOUTHWARD ADVANCE INTO THE
FORECAST AREA. THIS BOUNDARY WILL REMAIN THE FOCUS FOR REPEATED
ROUNDS OF CONVECTION THROUGH SATURDAY...BEFORE HEIGHTS RISE AND
THE BOUNDARY LIFTS NORTHWARD AND/OR LOSES DEFINITION ACROSS THE
REGION. A RETURN TO DRY AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPS LOOKS LIKELY BY
EARLY NEXT WEEK.
