Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
600 PM CDT Sat Aug 5 2017

.DISCUSSION...

The discussion for the 00Z TAF forecast can be found below.

&&

.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
The current thinking is that storms to our N and W will eventually
grow upscale into a cluster or complex and move southeast during
the evening and overnight across E OK and into W AR by early
Sunday morning. Attempted to time the most favored time window at
each TAF site. Some gusty winds and heavy rains will likely reduce
vsbys to MVFR or even IFR as they move thru. A brief period of
MVFR cigs is also possible Sunday morning before all sites return
to VFR conditions. Some potential for storms will exist mainly at
the southern sites of KFSM and KMLC on Sunday afternoon. Will
cover this with a VCTS mention.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 349 PM CDT Sat Aug 5 2017/

DISCUSSION...
Forecast trends continue to support widespread convection
overspreading much of the area from this evening through at least
Sunday morning. Substantial outflow boundary has pushed southward
into far NE OK and far NW AR with its placement and strength
appearing to be poorly resolved in numerical solutions. South and
west of this boundary conditions continue to destabilize with
cumulus field thickening across south central KS immediately ahead
of a sfc low. This region is expected to be the primary
initiation zone for storms later this afternoon and evening with
the convection growing upscale as the low level jet intensifies
and interacts with the aforementioned outflow boundary. An axis of
deeper moisture is aligned along the sfc boundary per satellite
data and the combination of increasingly veered inflow and
marginal mid level flow should tend to favor a more southward
development of the strongest / heaviest precip overnight. This
scenario and resultant QPF is more in line with the convection
allowing guidance and departs from more global solutions. As such
the forecast precip amounts warrant a flash flood watch for much
of NE OK and possibly into NW AR as trends become more evident
this evening.

Convection will be ongoing early Sunday and develop east and
southward through the day. A reinforcing synoptic scale cold front
is forecast to enter the forecast area on Sunday which may spark
additional convection as is pushes southward Sunday night. Well
below normal temps will follow this cold front for early next
week. This front will also focus the higher precip chances
southward through early week before gradually lifting northward as
flow aloft becomes mores zonal atop the frontal zone. This
pattern will be unsettled for much of next week and precip chances
will continue accordingly. A trend toward higher precip chances
by mid to late next week is likely as the frontal zone becomes
more focused across the area.

...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST
OKLAHOMA FROM 7PM TONIGHT THROUGH 2AM SUNDAY...

...HEAVY RAIN LIKELY OVERNIGHT ACROSS PORTIONS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS...

...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 10PM TONIGHT THROUGH 1PM
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...Limited.
 	AREA...Northeast Oklahoma and far northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...This evening.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...Elevated.
 	AREA...Northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...Tonight.

HEAVY RAIN.
	RISK...Elevated.
 	AREA...Northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...This evening into the overnight hours.

DISCUSSION...

Scattered showers and thunderstorms have begun to develop east of
a surface low currently positioned over southwest Kansas. A
nearly stationary boundary extending eastwards from this low
across south-central Kansas, northeast Oklahoma, and northwest
Arkansas will see additional development as the evening wears on,
especially over southeast Kansas and northern Oklahoma. Limited
severe threat will primarily be focused near the surface low in
south-central Kansas and north-central Oklahoma, but a few strong
to severe storms could push their way into northeast Oklahoma
later tonight. Main threats would be damaging winds, hail, heavy
rain, and lightning.

Heavy rain threat will continue to increase this evening and into
the overnight hours as storms work their way southeastward.
Rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches will be common, with locally
higher amounts possible. This will create the potential for flash
flooding concerns, thus a Flash Flood Watch has been issued for
portions of northeast Oklahoma and could be extended into
northwest Arkansas depending on overall storm trends.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Likely.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday.
SUNDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential.
MONDAY through FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...

Thunderstorms with the threat for heavy rainfall will continue
Sunday as a slow moving frontal boundary stalls over far southeast
Oklahoma into Monday. Widespread rainfall amounts of 2 to 4
inches are likely through Sunday night with locally higher
amounts possible. Flash flooding concerns will continue into
Sunday...thus, a flash flood watch has been issued for parts of
the area through Sunday afternoon.

An unsettled weather pattern will persist for the remainder of the
work week with chances for showers and thunderstorms possible each
day.
