Area forecast discussion, Aug 9, 1:39 PM CDT, 3 hours 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 139 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (The rest of this afternoon ) Issued at 111 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 Scattered showers with a few embedded thunderstorms continue this afternoon in association with several weak MCVs that were generated earlier in the day during the stronger convection. Although spotty, some beneficial rainfall has occurred across southeast Oklahoma, currently in extreme (D3) drought. Still the potential for lingering scattered storms this afternoon, including northeast Oklahoma where atmosphere has destabilized with the thinner cloud cover. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Tuesday) Issued at 111 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 Modest low level jet will develop tonight with scattered storms possible into Wednesday morning. Main precip area on Wednesday will begin to focus further south as drier air begins to filter into the region from the northeast. Upper high currently over the Four Corners Region will begin to shift east closer to the area with warm/humid conditions likely through the weekend. High temperatures will again approach triple digits early next week with excessive heat becoming more of a concern. Overall rain chances through the extended periods will likely remain low, however isolated storms possible Friday afternoon across far southeast Oklahoma and across northwest Arkansas by Tuesday of next week. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1217 PM CDT Tue Aug 9 2022 RA/isolated TSRA continue across far ERN OK and NW AR early this afternoon, so will keep varying mentions of RA/TSRA for the first few hours of the period across the SE OK/AR sites.
