Area forecast discussion, Oct 2, 6:28 AM CDT, 3 hours 43 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 628 AM CDT Sat Oct 2 2021 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. Widely varying ceilings ongoing across the fcst terminals this morning with a general trend of MVFR to periodic IFR ceilings prevailing. Widespread showers and storms across central OK will continue steadily ENE while additional convection will likely expand downstream. Resultant flight level impacts are forecast as the convection spread eastward with clearing conditions west to east from late morning through afternoon. Potential for convection to redevelop across NE OK this afternoon however confidence is low and later forecasts can adjust. VFR conditions prevail overnight w/ patchy fog possible with later fcsts adjusting as needed. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 310 AM CDT Sat Oct 2 2021/ DISCUSSION... Isolated to scattered showers and storms are occurring across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas this morning in response to isentropic lift across the region in advance of a mid-level low currently over the Oklahoma/Texas Panhandles. Showers and storms will increase in coverage this morning as the mid-level low moves to the northeast across Kansas and the associated surface boundary moves into eastern Oklahoma. The showers and storms will begin to end from southwest to northeast this afternoon in the wake of the surface boundary. While locally heavy rain will be the main concern, there will be adequate instability and shear across far eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas late this morning into the afternoon hours to produce a few strong to marginally severe storms. Wind gusts to around 50 mph and small hail will be possible with these storms. The convective activity is expected to be east of the area this evening as the storm system exits the region. The remainder of the forecast is dry as high pressure prevails at the surface. As we move into next week, an upper level low is progged to be carved out across the Southeastern United States and wobble to the north-northeast as the week wears on. This feature is expected to remain to the east of the area and have limited impact on the area. Have stayed close to NBM guidance for a great deal of the forecast with a nod to the CONSShort guidance in the first period. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
