Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
623 PM CDT Wed Oct 4 2017

.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
Flight impacts continue across NE OK sites primarily with lower
ceilings as rain rates have been steadily decreasing over the past
hour. Lower ceilings are likely to be maintained into the early
morning hours across NE OK but will be lifting northward with time
and improving conditions into prevailing VFR levels are likely
before sunrise. Generally expected VFR conditions to prevail for
SE OK into NW AR though portions of far NW AR may see some patchy
fog but extent and duration is uncertain.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 315 PM CDT Wed Oct 4 2017/

DISCUSSION...

It has been a wet day across NE OK into portions of NW AR.
Portions of Pawnee and Osage counties have picked up 4 to 8 inches
of rainfall, with some estimates by radar even higher. The
convection has been very efficient in producing rainfall, as you
would expect with PWATs running close to 2 inches, about 200% of
normal. Based on the 12Z upper air data, the deep layer moist axis
extended from deep south TX north into central/northeast OK. As
mentioned in yesterday's discussion, drier air continues to work
its way west across the southern tier of states, and this showed
up in the 12Z upper air obs/pwats and in the surface data as the
day has progressed. All of the available model data, including the
global and short term hi-res cam models, suggest that the current
activity will decrease in coverage by this evening, possibly due
to the drying of the column from the south and east. This trend
should continue into Thursday with the precip most likely shifting
farther north and west than where it is today.

After a relative lull in the action Thursday into Friday, a cold
front is expected to push into the region by late Friday night, in
response to the ejecting western CONUS closed low. There will be
good chances of showers and storms with the front, but instability
will be lacking in our area farther east along the front due to
the time of day. This activity will continue to sweep south and
east across the region going into Saturday.

Another stronger cold front is expected to push into the region on
Monday, as a deep trough of low pressure develops aloft over the
central CONUS. The coolest temps of this young fall season will
move into the region behind this front. High pressure will
dominate for much of next week, with tranquil and cooler weather
to prevail.

This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as
much of Eastern Oklahoma.

.DAY ONE...This evening and Tonight.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...Elevated.
	AREA...Northeast Oklahoma.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

HEAVY RAIN.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Northeast Oklahoma and western Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

THUNDERSTORMS WITH DANGEROUS LIGHTNING.
    RISK...Limited.
    AREA...Northeast Oklahoma.
    ONSET...Ongoing.

DISCUSSION...
The main hazard this evening will be ongoing flash flooding across
portions of northeast Oklahoma, and moderate to heavy rain
continuing this evening. Latest mesoanalysis showed the main cold
front across southeast Kansas through northwest Oklahoma. Another
boundary was located across northeast Oklahoma, from near
Stillwater to Okmulgee to Fort Smith. The general trend will be
for diminishing rains by mid to late evening. Any additional rain
will cause flooding problems for those areas which have received
over 5 to 8 inches already. Minor river flooding will continue
through early Thursday. Most lightning will be along and north of
the Interstate 44 corridor through this evening.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Spotter Activation Not Expected.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday.
THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...High Wind Potential.
SATURDAY through MONDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
TUESDAY...No Hazards.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
An active weather pattern will persist into the early part of next
week. Isolated thunderstorm potential should be confined to far
northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas Thursday, as a front
retreats northward. More settled conditions will continue through
most of Friday, with an increase in thunderstorm chances during
the evening in association with an approaching cold front. The
front will clear the area Saturday afternoon which will likely
keep the rest of the weekend dry.
