Area forecast discussion, Aug 29, 3:10 PM CDT, 1 hour 30 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
310 PM CDT MON AUG 29 2016

.DISCUSSION...
Coverage of convection this afternoon has been reinforced by
several outflow boundaries...mainly across northeast Oklahoma. As
has been the case the past several days...expect storm coverage to
diminish with the loss of daytime heating. Scope of forecast
largely unchanged with this issuance. Uncapped...moist
environment will stay in place for at least the next several
days...which will maintain daily thunderstorm chances.
Thunderstorm coverage on Wednesday likely to be
enhanced...especially across northeast Oklahoma and northwest
Arkansas as a surface boundary approaches from the northeast.
Thunderstorm chances will decrease from north to south towards the
end of the week...as drier air will begin to filter across the
area along with upper ridging that will strengthen over the
plains. Settled conditions are expected through the
weekend...however at that time upper ridge becomes suppressed and
improved flow will be just to the north of the area. Moisture will
also begin to return at that time....and the next chances for rain
and thunder may come early next week as another cold front
approaches the region.
