Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 619 AM CDT SAT JUL 9 2016 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. Surface boundaries laid down by previous convection will be the focus for scattered thunderstorms across the area through early to mid afternoon. Given the uncertainty for pinpointing locations for initiation...will carry tempo groups across the NW AR sites based on proximity of ongoing convection. Elsewhere...have opted to carry vcts. Otherwise...VFR conditions can be expected at all sites outside of convection for this TAF period. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 341 AM CDT SAT JUL 9 2016/ DISCUSSION... The combination of a weak surface frontal boundary, numerous convective outflow boundaries, and a weak upper level disturbance will continue to result in at least scattered showers and thunderstorms across the area today. Numerical models are all over the place with convective placement and timing, so confidence is low in how things play out today. By tonight and Sunday, convection should become more isolated as the old frontal boundary washes out and the upper level disturbance moves slowly off to the east. Dry weather will return for the first part of next week, but another frontal boundary and upper disturbance will approach by late Wednesday night and Thursday increasing shower and thunderstorm chances once again for the latter part of next week. Stayed close to guidance temperatures the next couple days, but went well above the NAM and GFS MOS pops through Sunday, which is more in line with most other available models. && .TSA Watches/Warnings/Advisories... OK...None. AR...None. && AVIATION...23

LOCALIZED SURFACE BOUNDARIES LAID DOWN BY CONVECTION OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS WILL SERVE AS FOCUS FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS TODAY ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS. AMPLE MOISTURE IN PLACE THAT COMBINES WITH EVEN LIMITED AMOUNTS OF SUN WILL CREATE SUFFICIENT INSTABILITY TO SUPPORT A FEW STORMS CAPABLE OF PRODUCING SEVERE STRAIGHT LINE WIND GUSTS. THE SLOW MOVEMENT OF THE THUNDERSTORMS COUPLED WITH THE DEEP MOISTURE WILL AGAIN PROMOTE LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL. SOME LOCATIONS ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS HAVE SEEN RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN THE 4 TO 6 INCH RANGE OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS...THEREFORE ANY ADDITIONAL RAIN AMOUNTS PRODUCED BY THE STRONGER STORMS WILL RESULT IN A LIMITED FLASH FLOOD THREAT TODAY ACROSS NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
