.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
Widespread convection ongoing across E OK will continue to spread
eastward through the afternoon with periodic thunderstorm chances
mentioned at each terminal. Additionally low MVFR to IFR ceilings
will also spread eastward through the day with prevailing IFR
ceilings forecast overnight. Precip should diminish in coverage

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1046 AM CST Tue Feb 27 2018/

..UPDATE...

DISCUSSION...
Ongoing warm advection and moisture return have combined to
support an increasing area of convection which should continue to
spread rather quickly across E OK and into NW AR around noon.
Further convective development is expected later today further
south nearer the region of deeper moisture profiles with overall
precip coverage remaining high from late afternoon through the
early evening hours. Steep lapse rates are in place and a few
strong storms have been noted this morning. This potential will
remain place through the day with hail being the concern from the
strongest storms. Updated forecast adjusted for precip trends
otherwise remaining elements are on track.
