.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.
