Area forecast discussion, May 12, 6:24 AM CDT, 2 hours 54 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 624 AM CDT Tue May 12 2020 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. Cigs across the NE OK/ NW AR sites will prevail as MVFR with IFR categories, especially during periods of light rain this morning. MVFR vsbys in light rain can be expected as well. Thunder chances will increase late tonight as a warm front lifts through the area, with MVFR vsbys where RA/TSRA occurs. Further south at KMLC/KFSM cigs will lower from VFR to MVFR along with MVFR vsbys in RA/TSRA this morning. Rain to decrease in areal coverage this afternoon, though rain and thunderstorm chances return in the 02z-06z time period. MVFR/brief IFR cigs to prevail for the remainder of the TAF period at those sites. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 407 AM CDT Tue May 12 2020/ DISCUSSION... Widespread rain and isolated thunderstorms will affect the area this morning, with rain coverage lessening some this afternoon. The heaviest rainfall today will likely occur across the southern and eastern parts of the forecast area. A warm front will lift north across the area tonight and Wednesday morning, with showers and isolated thunderstorms remaining possible, mainly north of the advancing front. Strong to severe thunderstorms will develop to our west along a dryline Wednesday afternoon and may move east into our area Wednesday evening and overnight as they weaken. Unsettled weather will continue Thursday into the weekend as a frontal boundary stalls just to our north and southwest flow aloft develops. Daily chances of showers and thunderstorms will be seen, with the highest chances late Saturday into early Sunday as a weak cold front moves south across the area. An upper ridge builds over the center of the country early next week, but both the GFS and ECMWF show the development of an upper low that gets trapped underneath the ridge and meanders around the southern U.S. Details remain murky at this time, but it is possible that shower and thunderstorm chances may continue into next week if this upper low drifts around in our vicinity. Went cooler than the National Blend of Models for high temperatures today. && .TSA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OK...None. AR...None. && AVIATION.....23
