Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 3:19 AM CDT, 1 hour 40 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 319 AM CDT Wed Jun 14 2023 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (Today) Issued at 318 AM CDT Wed Jun 14 2023 A few stronger thunderstorm clusters have developed early this morning across northeast Oklahoma in association with elongated mid level vorticity max across Kansas. A right moving elevated supercell produced ping pong ball size hail in Tulsa earlier. Elevated instability remains in the 1000-1500 J/kg, with deep layer shear around 40 knots, which will continue to support at least a marginal hail threat for the remainder of the overnight hours as storms continue eastward. Additional scattered thunderstorms may redevelop by late morning and especially into the afternoon as stronger diurnal heating develops. CAMs, including some of the global models suggest best storm chances will be across northeast Oklahoma closer to mid level vort max sagging southeast out of Kansas and in the deeper moisture across far southeast Oklahoma, where a few storms could be severe with 80 knot upper speed max. The greater threat for severe weather however will more than likely develop just southeast of the CWA this afternoon/evening. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Tuesday) Issued at 318 AM CDT Wed Jun 14 2023 A few lingering storms will be possible tonight, however overall coverage is expected to remain fairly limited. Another strong mid level wave will move east out of the Four Corners region on Thursday with an MCS liking moving into eastern Oklahoma Thursday night. In additional to some severe threat, very heavy rainfall will be likely in some locations. Weak upper ridge builds into the southern Plains Friday into Saturday with a slow warming trend. The active weather pattern continues as another upper disturbance lifts northeast into Kansas with another round of strong to severe thunderstorms Saturday night including heavy rainfall. Although weak upper ridge begins to build north into the early part of the next week, zonal flow will persist, which should allow for at least low thunderstorm chances and some passing clouds. NBM still appears a little too warm during this time and continued with slightly cooler MOS guidance. Heat indices however may still start to become an issue, especially if the two rounds of heaver precipitation materialize Thursday and Saturday nights. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1213 AM CDT Wed Jun 14 2023 Isolated/scattered TSRA will continue across the area overnight, though potential impacts to any one TAF site will remain low. At this time, will only include a VCTS at KBVO for a brief period early in the period. Mostly VFR elements will prevail, though MVFR cigs and vsbys can be expected at times at KMLC over the first 6 hours of the period. The NW AR sites may also experience a brief period of MVFR vsbys in fog between 08z-12z. Additional storms will be possible again tomorrow afternoon and evening, but coverage appears to low for any TAF mention. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

An isolated severe storm is possible with this activity. Finally, more storm development is expected over north Texas after midnight and its possible that a few storms could move into far southeast Oklahoma. These storms would be capable of producing large hail. Locally heavy rainfall is possible near the Red River if multiple rounds of storms track over this same general area.
