Area forecast discussion, Jun 9, 2:31 PM CDT, 2 hours 31 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 231 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2023 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (The rest of this afternoon ) Issued at 231 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2023 Weak sfc boundary/shear axis across far NE OK and NW AR this afternoon will be the primary focus for scattered storms into the evening. Isolated storms will remain possible elsewhere. Strongest activity may pose a marginally severe wind threat before activity dissipates this evening with the loss of daytime heating. Additional storms are expected to develop NW of the area late tonight and form into a complex as it moves E-SE. These storms may start impacting parts of far NE OK around sunrise. Severe wind potential will exist with the leading edge of the complex. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Friday) Issued at 231 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2023 The aforementioned complex will continue to move further into E OK and NW AR tomorrow morning, along with the potential for severe winds along the leading edge. Some weakening may take place by late morning, but at a minimum, residual outflow boundaries will allow for additional convection for the afternoon across SE OK and WC AR. Severe potential will be higher across far SE OK as any heating will further destabilize the atmosphere. Most of this activity should clear the area during the early evening. An upper level trough diving out of the high plains will push a cold front towards the area Saturday night. Chances for showers and storms will increase Saturday night, with the highest chances across far NE OK and NW AR starting after midnight. The higher chances will remain across NW AR Sunday as an impulse rotates through in the W-NW flow aloft. The cold front will clear the area by late Sunday afternoon or early evening and settle across TX for the next few days, resulting in cooler temperatures Monday into Tuesday. Upper split flow pattern develops next week with a west to east oriented southern stream over the southern plains. The frontal boundary to the south looks to lift north as a warm front around mid week. Several disturbances within faster flow along with a boundary in the vicinity will result in chances for isolated to scattered storms for locations along and ahead of the warm front during that time frame. && .AVIATION... (18Z TAFS) Issued at 1233 PM CDT Fri Jun 9 2023 Isolated afternoon storms expected across E OK terminals with scattered to numerous storms forecast nearer the NW AR terminals. A gradual decrease in coverage is expected after sunset. Late tonight additional storms will spread into NE OK and continue eastward through Saturday morning. Away from immediate storm impacts VFR conditions are expected to prevail. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
