Area forecast discussion, Mar 12, 2:51 PM CDT, 3 hours 58 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 251 PM CDT Thu Mar 12 2020 .DISCUSSION... Partial clearing has allowed temperatures to warm into the lower to mid 80s, with lower to mid 60s dewpoints situated across far southeast OK into western AR. A ribbon of SBCAPES around 1000-2000 J/kgs is expected to develop by late afternoon ahead of a southward surging cold front. There looks to be a small window open for strong/severe storms across western AR into southeast OK, with the recent HRRR showing initiation around 22-23Z with storms exiting far southeast OK toward 01Z. The cold front should become stationary across northern TX, with the bulk of showers/thunderstorms remaining generally south of I-40 into Friday morning. Precipitation is expected to become more widespread and lift north late Friday into Saturday as an upper system ejects into the Plains and the surface boundary retreats north as a warm front. Severe weather is not expected during this time-frame although there should be periods of locally heavy rainfall. Precipitation is expected to shift east of the region Saturday night, with Sunday shaping up to be a mostly dry day. A very active and moist southwesterly upper flow will set up beyond Sunday and persist through most of next week. Timing of impulses within the upper flow remains troublesome, with the forecast featuring reasonably high chances of rain each day. This may peak toward the end of the week as a stronger upper wave lifts into the Plains. Stayed very close to NBM for PoPs/temperatures in the extended. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
