Area forecast discussion, Jul 6, 12:23 PM CDT, 2 hours 48 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
1223 PM CDT Sat Jul 6 2019

.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
Steady increase in coverage of showers and storms expected through
late afternoon, before a gradually decay of convection this
evening. VFR largely expected outside of convective influence with
patchy fog again possible overnight.

&&

.PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1021 AM CDT Sat Jul 6 2019/

..UPDATE...

DISCUSSION...
MCV currently over west central OK from overnight storm complex
will slowly work eastward aiding renewed storm development this
afternoon. A corridor of deeper moisture and persistent
low level convergence resides across SE OK where precip chances
were increased. Otherwise, scattered storms appear possible across
the entire forecast area this afternoon with downburst winds the
primary concern with any stronger storms.
Temp / dewpoint trends were adjusted slightly based on observed
trends with afternoon heat index values of 100-105 being common
outside of influence from storms.
