.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
MVFR ceilings will develop this morning at all the terminals with
showers and storms spreading in by late morning/afternoon.
Widespread thunderstorms are expected this afternoon which will
result in MVFR ceilings, with IFR conditions and strong wind
gusts possible near storms. Rain may linger for KMLC and the
Arkansas terminals through the evening, before conditions begin
to improve after midnight.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 424 AM CDT Wed May 29 2019/
DISCUSSION...
Ongoing severe weather overnight has occupied much of our time,
but fortunately it appears there is little change to the previous
thinking with regards to the forecast. Showers and thunderstorms
currently expanding across west Texas will spread rapidly
northeast across Oklahoma today as a cold front sags slowly south
across the area. The stage will be set for a widespread 1-3 inch
rainfall event from east central and southeast Oklahoma across
northwest Arkansas, with lesser rainfall amounts across northeast
Oklahoma. Severe weather will also be a concern, especially from
southeast Oklahoma into west central Arkansas. The flash flood
watch will be left as is at this time.
Dry weather will then prevail Thursday into the early part of the
weekend, but west northwest upper level flow will bring the
potential for MCS activity to move into the area from Saturday
night on. The timing of best MCS potential varies between the GFS
and ECMWF, but sided closer to the ECMWF for now. Confidence
however is low and chance pops will suffice for now into the early
to middle part of next week.
Stayed close to guidance temperatures the next couple days.

AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. ONSET...Ongoing. AREA AT GREATEST RISK...Southeast Oklahoma into western Arkansas. DISCUSSION... Storms have developed across parts of central and eastern Oklahoma this morning. These storms will spread northeast and expand in areal coverage as the morning progresses. Meanwhile, a cold front extending from north central to southwest Oklahoma. This boundary will slowly sag into eastern Oklahoma today. As upper level energy spreads into the region, showers and thunderstorms will continue to increase along and southeast of the Interstate 44 corridor and push southeast during the afternoon. Cities along the Arkansas River may experience flooding in areas that typically remain dry and there is potential for catastrophic flooding should the heavier totals be realized near the larger Arkansas river channel. Scattered strong to severe storm potential will continue through the day. These storms will be capable of producing large hail, damaging winds and isolated tornadoes. The highest severe risk will be across southeast portions of Oklahoma into western Arkansas during the afternoon, with a transition to heavy rain and flooding by tonight as the front moves through the area. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Expected. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday. THURSDAY and FRIDAY...No Hazards. SATURDAY through TUESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... After a brief period of dry weather Thursday and Friday, thunderstorm chances return by the weekend and continue into early next week. The threat of organized severe weather will be less, but there remains potential for at least locally heavy rainfall. EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT... An organized severe weather event is expected Wednesday with warnings and watches for both flash flooding and severe weather likely for portions of the area. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information.
