Area forecast discussion, Sep 15, 3:42 PM CDT, 2 hours 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 342 PM CDT Wed Sep 15 2021 .DISCUSSION... This afternoon....a west to east oriented vorticity lobe was positioned from the Texas Panhandle through Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas and into Central Arkansas. Along and near this vorticity lobe...combined with a couple weak surface boundaries...isolated showers and thunderstorms had develop across portions of Eastern Oklahoma and West Central Arkansas. This activity will remain possible into the evening hours before weakening with the loss of daytime heating and decreasing instability. Severe weather is not anticipated through this evening. Starting Thursday...high pressure looks to set up over the Southern Plains with the upper level jet over the northern CONUS. High pressure is forecast to remain common over the region into the weekend before lifting more northeast Sunday. This will allow for warming temps into the weekend with highs back in the low/mid 90s Saturday. Also through this time period...an upper level impulse within the ridge of high pressure is progged to hold over the region with an upper level trof axis moving through the region Friday. In response...isolated chances for showers and storms look to be possible each afternoon Friday through Sunday mainly over the higher terrain of Southeast Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. Will continue with slight chance pops Friday as the upper trof moves through and hold onto pops just below mentionable criteria Saturday. Sunday into the Monday the weak impulse is forecast to begin lifting through the region ahead of a much more defined wave moving eastward into the Plains Monday/Tuesday. Thus...will continue to carry at least slight chance pops Sunday and Monday afternoons across Southeast Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas. The stronger wave is progged to push a more fall like cold front into the CWA during the Tuesday to Wednesday time frame...depending on the model of choice. GFS continues to be faster while the ECMWF has been more consistent with timing of Tuesday night into Wednesday. Thus...have leaned toward the ECMWF for details. Shower and thunderstorm chances increase as the front moves through with much cooler temps...highs of 70s near 80 deg...behind the front Wednesday. Will continue to refine timing/strength of this system as the event approaches. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
