.DISCUSSION...
Expansive area of clouds and rain has keep much of the area north
of Interstate 40 much cooler, with temps holding in the mid 70s to
lower 80s. Latest analysis places surface boundary from
Holdenville to Eufaula to around Fort Smith, or very near the I-40
corridor. South of the front, heat index values have climbed into
the 105 to near 110 degree range, and heat advisory will continue
through early this evening. Will hold off on heat advisory for
Friday pending development of overnight rain/storms and associated
outflow.
Across far northeast Oklahoma, mesonet and other surface
observations indicate that around 2-3 inches of rain fell this
morning with isolated amounts around 4 inches. Flash flood watch
has been extended through mid morning on Friday, and Cherokee and
Adair counties have been added to the existing watch.
The overall pattern will favor heavy rain tonight into Friday,
with additional potential for rain into Saturday. For tonight,
shortwave trough will move from eastern Colorado into the central
Plains, while the low level jet intensifies overnight.
Precipitable water values are in the 2 to 2.5" range, and this
high moisture airmass will be lifted over an existing boundary.
Southwest unidirectional flow through a deep layer will favor
repeated and regenerating areas of heavy rain with embedded
thunderstorms tonight into Friday morning. Given the previous
heavy rain this morning, expect that any additional rains
overnight will likely result in some localized flooding issues by
Friday morning.
The upper air pattern will favor heavy rain on Friday night into
Saturday as well, although the heaviest rains may be shifted
farther east, into northwest Arkansas. Below normal high temps
will be common for Friday and Saturday for parts of the area
affected by clouds and rain. The upper ridge begins to build again
by Sunday, with possibly our first 100 degree day in Tulsa. The
heat continues through the early part of the week, before a
cooldown and front arrive by the middle of next week.
