.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 251 PM CDT Tue Apr 4 2017/

DISCUSSION...
Vigorous upper wave currently moving out of the Texas panhandle
will approach from the west this afternoon/evening with the threat
for severe weather. Surface low was located east of Fredrick with
a warm front extending into northeast Oklahoma. As surface low
tracks northeast, warm front is forecast to lift north to near
I-44 by mid/late afternoon. Strong to severe thunderstorms will
likely develop near the frontal boundary across northeast Oklahoma
by late afternoon as cap continues to erode with strong surface
heating. Moderate instability, coupled with strong shear, will
initially support a large hail threat with storms transitioning
to a hail/damaging wind threat as convective line moves into
northwest Arkansas this evening. There is a limited tornado
threat with any supercells that develop near the warm front
across NE OK, however the main inhibiting factor remains the lack
of deeper low level moisture.

Main severe threat will end shortly after midnight as storms move
east of northwest Arkansas. Behind departing system, cold/breezy
conditions are expected into the day Wednesday with scattered
showers across NE OK/NW AR. Surface high settles over the region
Thursday night and with clear skies a freeze appears likely over
portions of Eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas early Friday
morning.

Upper ridge begins to build back into the Southern Plains Friday
into the early part of the weekend with warmer conditions. Strong
upper jet streak will move out of the desert southwest during the
day Sunday with showers/thunderstorm chances increasing along
approaching Pacific front Sunday night into Monday.
