Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
1157 AM CDT Thu Jul 1 2021

...UPDATE...

.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
Shower and thunderstorm impacts are likely at all terminals during
the first 4 to 6 hours of the valid TAF period, with tempo
IFR/MVFR ceilings and visibilities expected. MLC and FSM will be
most likely to see prolonged periods of such, with more isolated
to scattered afternoon activity expected for the NE OK and far NW
AR terminals. Activity should diminish during the evening. MVFR
ceilings should affect all terminals for much of the latter half
of the valid TAF period, with potential for reduced visibilities
within a few hours of sunrise at the NE OK terminals, as well.
MLC/FSM may see additional shower and thunderstorm impacts mid to
late morning tomorrow and will cover with PROB30s.

..UPDATE...

DISCUSSION...
The biggest concern in the short term is the ongoing locally heavy
rain and flooding across parts of northeast and east central
Oklahoma. Mesoanalysis clearly shows a pronounced area of well
over 2 inch precipitable water values centered over northeast
Oklahoma, in addition to locally favorable moisture transport
vectors, both leading to repeated rounds of training, efficient
showers/storms. A slow southward trend in the current activity is
noted in recent radar data, which should continue through the day,
albeit not as fast as the HRRR would suggest. If the current
activity does move southward as expected, additional showers and
thunderstorms will be possible mid to late afternoon across some
of these same areas.

The main change to the going forecast has been to add Cherokee and
Adair counties to the Flash Flood Watch, given some of the
rainfall totals that have occurred this morning. Tweaks were also
made to the near term POPs to better capture the current activity.
The afternoon POPs look good for now. Will have to watch highs
closely, especially in northeast Oklahoma, as they could need to
be reduced some if the current showers and thunderstorms don't
move out as quickly as currently expected.

AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG.
Flying conditions vary greatly across eastern Oklahoma
and western Arkansas with scattered showers and storms
across northeast Oklahoma and western Arkansas. These conditions
will continue through much of the day as the shower and storms
activity continues as a cold front slowly moves through the region.

PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 258 AM CDT Thu Jul 1 2021/

DISCUSSION...
Satellite imagery/areas radars are detecting developing convection
from western KS into far southeastern KS, along the northern
periphery of the upper ridge. Storm motion should become more
southeasterly through the rest of the night, with storm chances
increasing across parts of northeast OK into northwest AR towards
daybreak. Slow storm motions and anomalously high PWATs will
result in pockets of locally heavy rainfall.

CAMs are displaying considerable spread with the various
convection elements through the day, although the overall trend of
a southward shift of the heavier rain axis into southeast OK
during the afternoon/early evening is maintained. Not planning on
expanding the watch into southeast OK/northwest AR as these areas
have seen considerably less rainfall over the past 4-5 days than
areas farther north. But given the timing concerns, will extend
the existing watch across northeast OK through the remainder of
the afternoon.

Drier low-level air will overspread the region behind the front,
with fine (i.e. lower humidity) weather shaping up for the
holiday weekend. Morning lows will be quite pleasant (60s, with
some 50s possible for northwest AR) with afternoon highs returning
closer to early July norms. Weak mid-level troffing will develop
through the southern Plains by mid week, with low chances of
showers/storms returning.

This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as
much of Eastern Oklahoma.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight.

SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Northeast Oklahoma.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

HEAVY RAIN.
	RISK...Limited.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

DISCUSSION...
Widespread showers and embedded thunderstorms are ongoing across
much of eastern Oklahoma early this afternoon, while scattered
activity exists in western Arkansas. Heavy rainfall and localized
flash flooding remains the primary threat with these showers and
storms, with observed rainfall rates exceeding an inch per hour at
times. The axis of heavy rain, currently across parts of
northeast Oklahoma, will continue to sag southward through the
afternoon and into the evening. However, additional isolated to
scattered thunderstorms are expected to develop across northeast
Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas during the mid to late afternoon,
which could also lead to localized flash flooding due to the
already saturated conditions. A limited threat of damaging
downburst winds will also exist with storms this afternoon. Expect
coverage to diminish into the overnight hours.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
Local Spotter Activation May Be Needed.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Friday through Wednesday.
FRIDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.
SATURDAY AND SUNDAY...No Hazards.
MONDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Shower and storm chances will linger into Friday mainly across
southeast Oklahoma and west central Arkansas. After a dry and
pleasant holiday weekend, rain chances return for next week.
