Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
630 PM CDT Mon Mar 21 2022

...New AVIATION...

.SHORT TERM...
(Through tonight )
Issued at 358 PM CDT Mon Mar 21 2022

The widespread rain and scattered thunderstorm event was ongoing
across Eastern Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas this afternoon.
This was in response to elevated frontogenetic forcing interacting
with warm advection ahead of a mid/upper level low currently
moving into West Texas/Texas Panhandle. At mid afternoon...the
main area of instability remained south of the Red River...though
a couple of strong storms will remain possible into this evening.

The mid/upper level low is progged to lift northeast into the
Oklahoma/Texas Panhandle and Northwest Oklahoma by midnight. As
the wave lifts northeast, instability looks to also lift slightly
north of the Red River allowing for a window of severe weather
potential across mainly Southeast Oklahoma. Damaging winds and
large hail would be the primary threats. A very low...though non-
zero...tornado potential could also be possible with forecast
storm relative helicity values greater 300 m2/s2. The greater
potential for severe looks to be before 03-04z before a mid level
dry slot spreads from southwest to northeast across the region and
into the CWA. In response...the heavy rainfall and thunderstorm
chances should begin to shift east and northeast and exit the
majority of the CWA after 06-07z tonight. Slight chance of showers
and thunderstorms will remain possible mainly over parts of
Northwest Arkansas overnight...while the main cold front nears the
CWA from thew west. Additional rainfall of 1 to 2 inches through
tonight is forecast. With the majority of the precip tapering off
overnight...flooding concerns at this time look to be localized.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Monday)
Issued at 358 PM CDT Mon Mar 21 2022

The cold front moves eastward through the region during the day
Tuesday...while the upper level trof axis remains in place across
the region. Ahead of the front...temps from overnight tonight into
Tuesday looks to hold in the 50s and warm into the 60s. Behind the
front...temps look to fall into the 40s...mainly along and west of
Hwy 75 in Northeast Oklahoma Tuesday morning...and then begin to
spread eastward across the CWA Tuesday afternoon. Thus...have gone
with a non-diurnal temp curve for the western half of the CWA.

Rain chances as well as slight chances for thunderstorms will
remain possible Tuesday...mainly across far Northeast Oklahoma
into Northwest Arkansas as a surface low moves east northeast
into Southern Missouri Tuesday afternoon. Instability looks to be
quite limited and not currently anticipating severe potentials for
the CWA. Rain chances increase Tuesday night and into Wednesday
while a couple secondary vort max/upper lows drops into the region
and rounds the base of the upper trof. Depending how much surface
temperatures cool Wednesday morning/dont warm Wednesday
afternoon...increasing moisture within the dendritic growth zone
and a temp profile aloft below freezing could suggest some snow
flakes trying to mix down to the surface during the day Wednesday.
Along the Kansas border and also within the high terrain of far
Northwest Arkansas would have the higher potential for this to
occur. For now...uncertainty remains with how quick the overall
precip should lift out of the CWA as the upper level trof axis
finally begins to exit to the east. Thus...will hold off on
mentioning in the grids but it is something to keep an eye on.

Upper low finally exits Wednesday night with clearing skies from
southwest to northeast Thursday. In the wake of the departing
system...a ridge of high pressure is forecast to build out west
and begin to push into the Plains Friday. A weak disturbance looks
to ride down the eastern slope of the ridge Friday night and
Saturday before the ridge moves into the Plains for the weekend.
Limited moisture should keep this passage of this wave dry. With
the ridge in place for the weekend...gusty southerly winds return
Sunday with much warmer temperatures. These conditions look to
continue for the first part of next week ahead of another
disturbance that may try to push into the Plains at the far end of
this forecast package.

.AVIATION...
(00Z TAFS)
Issued at 630 PM CDT Mon Mar 21 2022

Mostly MVFR conditions will continue this evening, with occasional
VFR cigs/vsbys within heavier showers/thunderstorms. Showers and
storms will continue for the next few hours before dry slot moves
into the area tonight bringing an end to the rain and raising
cigs somewhat to possible VFR conditions across eastern Oklahoma
overnight. Occasionally gusty winds will gradually switch from
easterly to southerly to northwesterly by tomorrow afternoon as a
surface low/frontal boundary push through the area. A few showers
with isolated thunder could be possible tomorrow afternoon along
the frontal boundary. MVFR cigs are also likely to build back in
on the backside of the upper low and cold front toward the end of
the period.
