MABWhat forecasters said that day
The local office's own words before this river flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.
NWS Tulsa, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before this river flood warning went out at Aug 31, 12:50 PM CDT, 1 hour 21 minutes earlier.
Area forecast discussion, Aug 31, 12:50 PM CDT, 1 hour 21 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1250 PM CDT Mon Aug 31 2020 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. Scattered showers and thunderstorms will remain possible across the CWA this afternoon with scattered to broken mid and high clouds forecast. This evening and overnight tonight...additional convection is forecast to develop and move across the CWA and remain possible into the morning hours Tuesday. Within the stronger convection...periods of MVFR and heavy rain will be possible. By late tonight through Tuesday morning...IFR/MVFR conditions are forecast to become common over the CWA with rain showers and VCTS remaining possible through the end of the TAF period over Southeast Oklahoma into Northwest Arkansas. Winds through the period look to be variable within the convection otherwise...much of the region should remain southerly through the period. A surface frontal boundary looks to stall over far Northeast Oklahoma which could allow for more northerly winds for KBVO tonight. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1057 AM CDT Mon Aug 31 2020/ ..UPDATE... DISCUSSION... Several factors remain in play for the rest of today with regards to precip potentials and afternoon temps across Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. At mid morning...a 30-35KT low level jet streak continued across Eastern Oklahoma over an area of low/mid level warm advection combined within an area of deeper moisture. In response...continued development of showers and thunderstorms were ongoing across much of the CWA...moving from west to east. This activity was ahead of a surface frontal boundary positioned from Northwest Oklahoma through Eastern Kansas and into Northwest Missouri...slowly sagging southeast toward the CWA. And...finally a secondary boundary associated with an ongoing MCS over Western Missouri was pushing south southeast toward Northwest Arkansas. Through this afternoon...the low level jet streak is expected to weaken...though continued warm advection combined with the deeper moisture should allow for shower and thunderstorm chances to be possible over the region. The greater potentials look to be over East Central into Southeast Oklahoma as well as West Central Arkansas. Additional showers and thunderstorms may also be possible for far Northwest Arkansas in response to the approaching MCS...though the majority of which should remain east/northeast of the CWA. Finally...the surface frontal boundary is forecast to reach Osage county in Northeast Oklahoma late afternoon and become nearly stationary over Northeast Oklahoma this evening. This will allow for another round of thunderstorms to develop and spread across the CWA late afternoon/this evening. Severe potentials will remain possible with the possible interactions of multiple boundaries combined with dewpoints in the 70s over the region. These potentials look to be somewhat depending on how far south the MCS boundary can set up and the frontal boundary can set up over the CWA. However...damaging wind...large hail and also a low tornado potential will remain possible with the greater potentials with the late afternoon/evening convection. Also possible will be locally heavy rainfall and an increase in flash flood conditions...especially over locations that see training storms through this afternoon and with the additional convection forecast this evening/tonight. With the ongoing precip and additional development forecast through this afternoon...afternoon temps look to vary from 80s under convection to 90s where clouds can break. At this time parts of Northeast Oklahoma...west of Highway 75 and also far Southeast Oklahoma may have the greater chances of reaching into the 90s while...while Northwest Arkansas look to have the greater chance for staying in the 80s. Moisture pooling along the approaching surface frontal boundary combining with overall dewpoints in the 70s will aid in heat index values in the 100 to near 105 degree range for the warmer locations. There may be a brief period where advisory criteria can be reached though not expecting an advisory to be issued at this time. For the morning update...have adjusted hourly pops/wx/temp/dewpoint grids for this afternoon based on the mentioned above and latest trends/ingested observations. Will continue to monitor conditions closely for additional updates. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
