Area forecast discussion, Jun 1, 12:56 AM CDT, 2 hours 53 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1256 AM CDT Wed Jun 1 2022 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (The rest of tonight) Issued at 1004 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022 All has remained quiet across eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas this evening, but that may change later tonight. There is a chance that storms to the north in Kansas may organize and begin shifting southeast later, affecting parts of northeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. In addition, storms in southwest Oklahoma may expand northeast into parts of the area overnight. Overall confidence is not high, and as such will keep the current flood watch as is. Have lowered pops a bit in northeast Oklahoma, as current confidence does not support categorical pops, but likely pops will still suffice. && .LONG TERM... (Wednesday through Tuesday) Issued at 208 PM CDT Tue May 31 2022 The potential for showers and thunderstorms will continue Wednesday into Thursday morning as a cold front slowly moves through the area and a mid-level shortwave sweeps across the Plains. There will be the potential for strong to severe storms as we move into Wednesday afternoon and evening in the vicinity of the cold front. Heavy rain will also be a concern during this time with slow moving and training storms expected. A Flood Watch will continue from tonight through late Wednesday night for portions of northeast Oklahoma where the greatest concentration of storms is expected. 1 to 3 inches of rain will common across the Watch area with locally higher amounts possible. High pressure will move into the area behind the cold front Thursday afternoon and prevail through Friday. The chances of showers and thunderstorms return late Friday night and continue off and on into early next week as a series of mid-level shortwaves move across the area in a nearly zonal flow aloft. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1256 AM CDT Wed Jun 1 2022 The plan for this forecast is to keep VFR conditions prevailing at all sites over the first 6 hours. At KBVO, went with VCTS mention with storms just north of KS border, and a TEMPO at KTUL/KRVS to cover some potential for the remnants of central OK convection to make it there. For the far NW AR sites, outflow from the SE KS into SW MO storms is likely to push down into this area by 12Z or so, with potential for MVFR or even IFR cigs behind it and spotty showers. Synoptic cold front expected to advance south across the region on Wednesday and inserted TEMPO or PROB30 groups to cover potential for showers and storms with front. Some low MVFR/IFR cigs may begin to affect some terminals toward the very end of this forecast. Lacy && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

HEAVY RAIN. RISK...Elevated. AREA...Northeast Oklahoma. ONSET...This Evening. DISCUSSION... Strong to severe thunderstorms will remain focused this evening near a slow moving frontal boundary from southern Kansas into western Oklahoma. A few of these storms may drift into parts of Osage and Pawnee counties this evening before weakening. Large hail and damaging winds will be the main severe weather threats. Late this evening and overnight, storms out west will likely organize into one or more convective complexes, and move east into eastern Oklahoma and possibly northwest Arkansas by late tonight. While most of these storms will likely be sub-severe, a limited severe threat may linger overnight as these storms advance east into our area. Locally heavy rainfall will also be possible with storms tonight, which may result in some localized flooding issues across parts of northeast Oklahoma. SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of the Regional Spotter Network Likely. .DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Wednesday through Monday. WEDNESDAY...Thunderstorm Potential...Heavy Rain Potential. THURSDAY through MONDAY...Thunderstorm Potential. EXTENDED DISCUSSION... Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to be ongoing Wednesday across the region as the cold front stalls over the northern part of northeast Oklahoma. Thunderstorm chances are forecast to continue through Wednesday night and then begin to taper off from northwest to southeast during the day Thursday as the frontal boundary finally exits. A limited severe potential may again be possible for parts of the region Wednesday. Periods of heavy rainfall will also remain possible Wednesday into Wednesday night. Additional shower and thunderstorm chances quickly return Friday through the start of the next work week across parts of eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas in response to a series of upper level disturbances pushing across the region. weather.gov/tulsa contains additional information.
