...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(This Afternoon and Tonight)
Issued at 127 PM CDT Mon Aug 29 2022

Overachieving convection that has lingered from the morning hours
continues to the west of Tulsa. Convection is advancing east with
its outflow, given lack of flow aloft. None of the 12Z CAMs have
modeled this well, and its taken till the 17Z run of the HRRR to
finally start catching up. Basically a weakly capped and
moderately unstable airmass in place over the region, and the 17Z
HRRR gradually increases coverage across NE OK and NW AR thru this
evening. An axis of 2+" PWATs are lying across NE OK into SE
KS/SW MO where the bulk of the convection is currently. Current
thinking is that one or more small clusters of storms will slide
east and south across NE OK/NW AR thru evening with a damaging
wind and locally heavy rainfall threat. Some indication in the 12Z
CAMs that another round of convection developing near/along
advancing cold front across KS will drop south into NE OK/NW AR
late tonight as well.

.LONG TERM...
(Tonight through Monday)
Issued at 127 PM CDT Mon Aug 29 2022

A frontal boundary will advance south across the region Tuesday,
in response to a strong shortwave trough sliding across the
Midwest and Great Lakes. While the meteorological term for this
boundary is a cold front technically, it will not feel "cold"
behind this boundary. We will notice the much drier air, at least.
Isolated to widely scattered storms are possible, mainly I-40
south. The much drier deep layer airmass behind the front will
bring hot and tranquil weather from Tuesday evening thru the end
of the week. Rain/storm chances will return by the latter part of
the weekend, especially in the terrain, as moisture returns to the
region from the southeast.

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1211 PM CDT Mon Aug 29 2022

Early in the period, convection will be focused primarily across
parts of NE OK, with coverage remaining scattered through the
afternoon. Will include VCTS and tempo groups KBVO. Will include VCTS
for now at KTUL/KRVS sites through 00z. Elsewhere, Isolated
convection will be possible across SE OK and NW AR, though
coverage will likely remain too limited to include a TAF mention.
Outside of TSRA, VFR elements will prevail.
