Area forecast discussion, Jun 18, 3:06 PM CDT, 39 minutes before

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
306 PM CDT Sun Jun 18 2017

.DISCUSSION...
Cold front situated from northwest Arkansas through
southwest Oklahoma this afternoon. Showers and storms continues
across east central Oklahoma in the vicinity of the boundary.
Chances for storms will continue to shift east southeast with time
as the front continues to push through the area through tonight.

Cool high pressure will settle over the region for the next
several days...with overnight lows dipping into the upper 50s and
lower 60s across parts of northeast Oklahoma and northwest
Arkansas the next few nights. Temperatures will slowly warm as the
week progresses...and chances for showers and storms will remain
quite limited through most of the forecast cycle as the better
mid level flow retreats to the north some. Towards the
weekend...shower and thunderstorm chances return to the area as
the next frontal boundary and upper level trough approach.
