Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
247 PM CDT Wed May 23 2018

.DISCUSSION...
Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms continue this
Afternoon across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas in
the deep moisture plume in association with a weak mid-level
shortwave. Some of the storms have become strong this afternoon
with wind gusts approaching 50 mph. Locally heavy rainfall
has also been a concern due to the slow movement of the storms
with some locations recording around 1 inch of rain in less than
an hours time. Isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms are
expected to persist into the early evening hours before diminishing.

Will once again see isolated to scattered showers and thunderstorms
across the area on Thursday as the same scenario plays out across
eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas.

On Friday, we will see the upper level flow become more northwesterly
with a weak shortwave bringing chances of showers and thunderstorms to the
area Friday into Friday evening.

An upper level ridge builds over the region during the Holiday weekend
with limited chances of showers and thunderstorms. As of now it looks
like any system moving into the Southern United States from the Gulf of
Mexico will mainly influence areas of east of the Tulsa CWA.

Unseasonably warm conditions are expected to continue into next week
with Sunday expected to be the hottest day.
