Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
254 PM CDT Sat Apr 15 2023

...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM...

.SHORT TERM...
(Through tonight )
Issued at 240 PM CDT Sat Apr 15 2023

Strong to severe thunderstorms have developed from northwest
Arkansas into extreme eastern Oklahoma just ahead of a cold front
that will move east of the area by around 5 pm. Cloud cover behind
the front will clear from west to east overnight, with overnight
low temperatures falling into the mid 30s to mid 40s.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Tomorrow through Saturday)
Issued at 240 PM CDT Sat Apr 15 2023

Gusty northwest winds Sunday will result in an elevated fire
weather danger, especially to the west of Highway 75 in northeast
Oklahoma where drought conditions persist. Fire weather concerns
will remain elevated through the first part of next week as gusty
southerly winds return and temperatures warm back to well above
normal levels.

Shower and thunderstorm chances will return by late Tuesday and
Tuesday night, but the better storm chances will hold off until
Wednesday night and Thursday when the next storm system will
impact the area. The timing of the dryline/cold front into the
area may not be ideal for a significant severe weather threat in
our area, but this is subject to change if the system slows its
progress a bit from current projections.

Cooler and drier weather will return by the end of next week into
the following weekend.

&&

.AVIATION...
(18Z TAFS)
Issued at 1228 PM CDT Sat Apr 15 2023

A cold front is slicing through the area this afternoon with mostly
VFR conditions ahead of the front and MVFR conditions behind it.
Thunderstorms will possibly impact the western arkansas sites early
in the forecast period as the cold front advances to the east.
MVFR ceilings persist at the NE OK sites into this evening and
even longer into tonight across NW AR. Mostly VFR conditions return
on Sunday.

DISCUSSION...
A cold front currently moving across eastern Oklahoma will sweep through
the remainder of the area this afternoon. Storms are expected to develop
along the front across far eastern Oklahoma through western Arkansas during the
afternoon hours. Severe weather is possible with these storms with potential
for very large hail with the strongest storms. The severe weather threat
will end by early evening as storms quickly spread further eastward.
Additionally, gusty winds behind the passing cold front will raise grassland fire spread
rates across northeast Oklahoma this afternoon

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
Grassland fire spread potential will increase area wide on Sunday
and especially areas of northeast Oklahoma where drought conditions
persist. Winds will gradually decrease by Monday.

Low thunderstorm chances return Tuesday along with increasing winds
Tuesday and especially Wednesday. The increasing winds will again
raise grassland fire weather concerns for portions of northeast
Oklahoma. A stronger storm system influences the region by
next Thursday and a risk of severe weather may develop.
