Area forecast discussion, May 15, 6:33 PM CDT, 1 hour 25 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 633 PM CDT Mon May 15 2017 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. Breezy southerly winds this evening should subside some overnight across Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas before becoming gusty during the day Tuesday ahead of a low pressure system approaching the Plains. With the forecast of easterly winds overnight for FSM..will carry LLWS into Tuesday morning. Few to scattered high clouds tonight over the CWA also look to increase Tuesday morning across Northeast Oklahoma with scattered to broken mid and high clouds forecast. Few to scattered high clouds should remain common for Northwest Arkansas. VFR conditions should persist through the TAF period over the region. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 321 PM CDT Mon May 15 2017/ DISCUSSION... After one more quiet day...the upper pattern will once again become more active as several systems impact the region from mid week and continuing well into the weekend. The first upper wave will eject from the Rocky Mountain region late in the day Tuesday...with storms expected to develop along the dryline which at that time will be situated across the TX/OK panhandle. This activity will make a run overnight towards eastern Oklahoma...with the best chances for storms remaining across the western zones late Tuesday night/early Wednesday morning. Coverage is expected to diminish during the day Wednesday as the upper wave quickly lifts off to the northeast. Little in the way of a focus for convection the remainder of the day...but will leave slight chance pops in. The area will be in between systems Wednesday night into Thursday. Elevated storm potential increases Thursday as wind fields strengthen...but more organized activity will likely hold off until later Thursday as a slower moving closed low enters the Plains. Several rounds of showers and thunderstorms are likely in the late Thursday into Saturday time period as the upper low and surface boundary continue to slowly move east. Locally heavy rainfall will be possible...which may quickly raise flood potential given the conditions in place from recent rainfall. Upper system to begin to lift off to the northeast by the latter half of the upcoming weekend...and rain chances will begin to diminish from northwest to southeast during the day Sunday. Generally followed guidance temperatures...especially later in the week with the cooler temperatures that are expected. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
