Area forecast discussion, Jun 14, 6:34 AM CDT, 1 hour 2 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 634 AM CDT Wed Jun 14 2023 ...New AVIATION... .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... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 634 AM CDT Wed Jun 14 2023 A few showers/isolated thunder remain across NW AR, but impacts at TAF initiation across those sites appear minimal. Another area of storms will impact KBVO in the the 12z-13z period with IFR/MVFR vsbys and possibly MVFR cigs. Will include tempo groups at KTUL/KRVS as this activity moves E-SE through mid morning. At this time will only include VCTS across the AR sites given the uncertainty of the track and whether convection remains intact later this morning. Additional storms will be possible again this afternoon and evening, but coverage appears to low for any TAF mention. VFR elements will prevail outside of TSRA at all sites. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
