Area forecast discussion, May 23, 6:44 AM CDT, 2 hours 7 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 644 AM CDT Sat May 23 2020 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. Showers and thunderstorms ongoing across parts of Southeast Oklahoma and West Central Arkansas will remain possible through the morning hours...though for the most part remaining south of KMLC/KFSM. During the day today...high clouds look to become scattered with possible few/scattered mid clouds developing this afternoon over the CWA. This evening and overnight tonight...high clouds are forecast to spread back into the region over top of the few/scattered mid clouds. Winds through the period should increase out of the south with gusts 10-20KT this afternoon and subside some overnight tonight. VFR conditions should persist through the TAF period. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 300 AM CDT Sat May 23 2020/ DISCUSSION... Once the storms die off this morning, we should see a relative lull in storm activity today and tonight, as mid level heights rise in the wave of a shortwave trough lifting up toward the Midwest. The main focus for storms should be well west of our area. Shower and storm chances return on Sunday as a broad upper trough approaches from the west, and the forecast just gets downright messy after that. Energy in the base of the upper trough closes off and becomes cutoff from the westerlies, which will leave it behind as they retreat north closer to the Canadian border in a more summer like pattern. This weakness in the mid level height field is expected to sit over the region thru next week and may even persist into the following weekend. The main threat will transition from organized severe to heavy rainfall/flooding, especially by Monday and Tuesday. The threat for flash flooding will depend on where the rains fall from day to day, but the threat for river flooding will increase regardless. Soils across the region will become increasingly saturated and thus a quicker river response is expected. Lacy && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
