Area Forecast Discussion

1233 PM CDT Fri Jul 6 2018

.DISCUSSION...

The discussion for the 18Z TAF forecast can be found below.

&&

.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
Scattered afternoon convection can't be ruled out at any TAF site
and thus VCTS mention at all sites. Guidance suggested a bit
higher chance at KFSM, thus a TEMPO group was maintained at that
location. Convection should taper off btwn 00Z and 02Z. Based on
persistence and the latest model data, some potential for IFR fog
exists in the valley at KFYV toward sunrise. Outside of the fog
and storms, VFR conditions will prevail. Drier air entering the
region behind a cool front will give us a break from the storms on
Saturday.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1053 AM CDT Fri Jul 6 2018/

DISCUSSION...

The latest short term data continues to suggest we should see
scattered afternoon convection again today, initially starting in
the favored terrain areas and moving/propagating westward in the
easterly flow aloft. Similar to yesterday, the taller and stronger
cores could produce strong to severe wind gusts. The current
forecast has this handled reasonably well so no changes are
planned at this time. On the temperature side of things, heat
indices are already at or near 100 degrees in many locations, will
need to closely monitor the trends for the possibility of a heat
advisory for some areas this afternoon.

Lacy

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 625 AM CDT Fri Jul 6 2018/

AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
Scattered showers and thunderstorms are expected to affect some
of the terminals this afternoon. MVFR conditions are possible near
areas of storms, with reduced visibilities in heavy downpours.
Gusty winds will also be likely as storms collapse. Storms may
develop first across northwest Arkansas, and then build into
northeast Oklahoma along a slowly sagging cold front. VFR
conditions are expected by this evening as storms diminish.

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 249 AM CDT Fri Jul 6 2018/

DISCUSSION...
Convection still lingering across southeastern portions of the
forecast area, although coverage has diminished considerably over
the past few hours. Will carry low PoPs into the morning hours
although better chances of additional showers/thunderstorms arrive
by the afternoon as a weak backdoor cold front drops into the
area. HRRR and other CAMs models suggest development may start
across northeast OK into northeast AR, with the activity
developing southwest as the surface boundary sags through.
Overall severe weather threat will remain low, but some gusty
winds and locally heavy rainfall will be possible.

The weak cold front will bring slightly cooler temperatures for
the weekend, along with drier low-level air (and lower humidity)
for the weekend.

The upper high will build back across the central Plains for next
week, with a series of weak waves expected to track east along the
southern periphery of the ridge. This will bring periodic chances
of showers and thunderstorms, mainly to the southern half of the
forecast area for much of next week.

Thunderstorms will continue to increase in coverage thru the

stronger storms are likely to produce strong gusty winds. Isolated
reports of damaging winds are possible as well with the strongest
cells. Frequent cloud to ground lightning and brief heavy downpours
will also accompany the storms.

Outside of the storm activity, much of eastern Oklahoma and west
central Arkansas will again see heat index values climb into the 100
to 105 degree range. Take the proper heat precautions if you must be
outdoors during the middle of the day.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Local Spotter Activation May Be Needed.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Thursday.

THURSDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Dangerous Heat Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Drier and slightly cooler conditions will follow the front over
the weekend. Thunderstorm chances return early next week as a more
humid airmass spreads back across the region.
