Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
818 PM CDT Fri Apr 29 2022

...New SHORT TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(The rest of tonight)
Issued at 746 PM CDT Fri Apr 29 2022

...SEVERE WEATHER REMAINS LIKELY OVERNIGHT...

Cold front, currently surging into far northwest Oklahoma this
evening, will overtake dry line and move into northeast Oklahoma by
late evening. Line of storms are still expected along front with
severe weather likely, especially near the Oklahoma/Kansas line.
Moderate instability, coupled with 50 kt deep layer shear and cold
temperatures aloft (-15 deg C), will support hail at least to the
size of golf balls and damaging winds. Also can not rule out an
isolated tornado or two as 0-1km shear increases into the +40 kt
range in low level jet axis. The severe threat will begin to
decrease as convective line moves south of I-44 with a weakening
trend as atmosphere begins to stabilize. Overall forecast looks on
track but will continue to tweak hourly grids given latest trends.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Friday)
Issued at 206 PM CDT Fri Apr 29 2022

Aside from lingering shower/storm potential across far south and
east Saturday morning, the rest of the day will be quiet with
northwest winds and drier air. Dry conditions will prevail
through most of Sunday as well before another stout upper system
promotes a northward moving boundary back across the area Sunday
night into Monday. This scenario should offer more widespread
showers and storms Sunday night with a locally heavy rain threat.
By Monday, depending on eventual location of warm front and degree
of airmass recovery in wake of early precip, severe potential
will return to at least parts of the forecast area.

Consensus remains for Tuesday to be another "down" day before yet
another system approaches mid week, with similar progression of
cold front/warm front. By this time, model consensus regarding the
evolution of the upper levels becomes considerably less, but the
bottom line is potential for more severe weather and heavy
rainfall will continue through the later part of next week.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 644 PM CDT Fri Apr 29 2022

Scattered to broken mid clouds and gusty southerly winds are
forecast to remain common this evening across the CWA ahead of a
cold front forecast to push into northeast Oklahoma late evening.
Also ahead of the front...there remains a low chance of a storm or
two developing along the dryline out west and moving into eastern
Oklahoma. Will continue to keep a mention of this out of the TAF
due to uncertainty of storm coverage. As the front moves into and
through the CWA tonight and Saturday morning...scattered showers
and thunderstorms are forecast along/near the front. The greater
potential for storms is forecast across northeast Oklahoma. Will
continue tempo groups for all TAF sites for greater timing of
thunderstorms. Within the storms MVFR conditions will be possible.
A period of IFR/MVFR conditions also look to develop out ahead of
the front in southeast Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas late
tonight into Saturday morning. These low clouds should lift back
to VFR by mid to late morning Saturday behind the front. By the
afternoon hours...few to scattered mid clouds and some passing
high clouds are forecast for the CWA. Winds behind the front
Saturday are forecast to be breezy out of the west.
