Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
1136 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2019
...UPDATE...
.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
Main aviation concerns for the next 24 hours concentrated on
approaching MCS and its evolution. Expect that the MCS will be on
the decline as it moves through much of eastern Oklahoma, although
there is a nonzero chance that it could hold together long enough
intensity-wise to cause severe gusts at the E OK terminals.
Confidence in that is very low and certainly too low to put in the
TAFs at this time. Will continue the earlier mention of TSRA with
MVFR conditions in TEMPO groups at all terminals early in the
period. Will continue to pinpoint MLC/FSM for the greatest chance
of seeing additional development tomorrow afternoon/evening,
although the potential is nonzero at the remaining terminals as
well.
&&
.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 947 PM CDT Sat Jun 15 2019/
..UPDATE...
DISCUSSION...
Bowing thunderstorm complex currently across southwestern
OK will continue to track east overnight, eventually
impacting portions of eastern OK mainly after midnight.
In addition, nearly stationary severe convection continues
to be absorbed by the northern end of the bow, and recent
CAMs output suggests isolated development will be possible
into parts of northeast OK prior to 06z. Main severe threat
through the overnight hours will be damaging wind gusts along
with large hail.
Given the high precip chances overnight along with wet ground
conditions, have opted for a flash flood watch for much of
eastern OK the remainder of the night. This may need to be
expanded in coverage/time later tonight.

ONSET...After 7 pm. HEAVY RAIN. RISK...Limited. AREA...Northeast Oklahoma. ONSET...After 7 pm. Flash FLOOD. RISK...Limited. AREA...Northeast Oklahoma. ONSET...After 7 pm. DISCUSSION... Strong to severe thunderstorms are expected to develop this evening over north central and northeastern Oklahoma. Strong instability and moderate wind shear will support some severe weather potential with this activity, primarily large hail and damaging wind. There will be a very limited risk of a tornado this evening with the initial development across parts of northeast Oklahoma. In addition, ongoing thunderstorms over West Texas will organize into a complex of storms as they move east across Oklahoma. These storms will likely begin to affect the area around midnight. The greatest threat from these storms will be damaging wind and heavy rainfall as they move across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Likely. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday. SUNDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential. MONDAY and TUESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. WEDNESDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential. THURSDAY and FRIDAY...No Hazards. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... The forecast for the upcoming week remains largely unsettled with daily thunderstorm chances. The exact details will fluctuate from day to day, however sufficient instability and high amounts of low level moisture will support both the potential for severe weather and areas of heavy rainfall. Areas of repeated heavy rains will become increasingly likely for flooding concerns, and this will become more clear as the week progresses. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information. 69
