Area forecast discussion, May 29, 6:22 PM CDT, 41 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE Tulsa OK 622 PM CDT SUN MAY 29 2016 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. Mainly VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop Monday afternoon, with the potential for brief MVFR or lower conditions should a storm affect a terminal. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 220 PM CDT SUN MAY 29 2016/ DISCUSSION... Strong heating/instability has developed across portions of northeast Oklahoma this afternoon where scattered strong thunderstorms have developed. Deep layer shear remains minimal at best but a few pulse storms could produce marginally severe hail/damaging winds through the afternoon hours. Storms developing well west of the area this afternoon will likely remain so with only a slight chance for thunderstorms overnight. Unsettled weather pattern will continue for the next several days as several upper waves traverse the area with a moist/unstable air-mass in place. Stronger upper disturbance shifts into the southern plains Tuesday night into Wednesday with widespread showers/thunderstorms likely along/ahead of approaching cold front. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible which could lead to some localized flash flooding. Models have trended a little slower with speed/progression of cold front, which is now forecast to stall near the ARKLATX region Thursday into Friday. Shower/thunderstorm chances will likely persist across portions of southeast Oklahoma and west- central Arkansas during this time as a developing upper low moves into northern/central Texas. Exact track of upper low will determine how quickly precipitation shifts south of the region by the weekend. && .TSA Watches/Warnings/Advisories... OK...NONE. AR...NONE. && AVIATION...05
