Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Tulsa OK
1230 AM CDT Mon May 26 2025

...New AVIATION...

.KEY MESSAGES...
Issued at 207 PM CDT Sun May 25 2025

  - Widespread thunderstorm development expected overnight, with
    highest confidence across the southern two-thirds of the
    forecast area. Heavy rain and flooding will remain the primary
    concern, with severe thunderstorm hazards also a threat.

  - Additional showers and thunderstorms, with largely a heavy
    rain and continued flooding threat, are expected through
    Monday with a shift more toward southeast Oklahoma and west
    central Arkansas.

  - Widespread flash flooding and mainstem river flooding
    potential will continue through the rest of the Memorial Day
    holiday weekend. Flood safety messaging will remain a focus.

&&

.UPDATE...
Issued at 844 PM CDT Sun May 25 2025

The latest surface data shows a stationary front across far southeast
Oklahoma with lower 70 dewpoints pooled along it. Storms continue
to develop along the front into the Arklatex with some signs of
building westward into Choctaw county with time. Expect the
boundary to continue to focus storms through the evening into
early Monday morning as lift approaches from a shortwave moving
out of the TX Panhandle. Additional storms continue to form in the
vicinity of the 850 mb front stretching across the I-40 corridor
from western into central OK with support from a minor shortwave
moving across and upper level divergence. Generally weak flow
continues from the surface into the 850 mb layer with deep layer
shear also on the marginal side keeping most of the activity from
organizing or sustaining too long. As large scale lift moves
across the area overnight, expect upscale growth of convection
across western OK into northwest TX to spread eastward into
eastern OK and eventually west-centrl AR. The majority of the
activity is expected to remain focused near the stationary
boundary with more scattered storms persisting north of I-40
through mid-morning Monday. The main concern overnight remains to
be locally heavy rainfall with storms training along and north of
the boundary across southeast Oklahoma and periodic moderate to
heavy downpours over already saturated soils across northeast
Oklahoma.

&&

.SHORT TERM...
(Through Tonight) Issued at 207 PM CDT Sun May 25 2025

Widespread thunderstorm development remains expected this evening
and overnight, with a focus across the southern half to two-thirds
of the forecast area. Thunderstorms currently ongoing across far
east central Oklahoma and into western Arkansas are elevated, with
mainly a threat for heavy rain and marginally severe hail through
mid afternoon. Isolated thunderstorms have developed in the past
hour in south central Oklahoma, in the vicinity of a surface front
that extends into southeast Oklahoma. Very moist conditions are
located across that portion of the forecast area with a large area
of mid 70s dew points present, leading to a highly unstable
airmass along and just north of the Red River. This boundary,
which is farther south than some models depict, should continue
to be a focus for development this evening, with all severe
weather hazards possible. There may be some northward movement in
the boundary as the low level jet strengthens aided by some
modest clearing occurring behind the ongoing activity farther
north. However, still think a more southern solution with the
strongest activity this evening remains the most likely one.

Attention is also on the potential for development this afternoon
in West Texas that will eventually congeal into a mature MCS and
move eastward toward mainly southeast Oklahoma into early Monday
morning. A damaging wind threat will likely accompany the MCS as
it moves across far southeast Oklahoma, with the heavy rain threat
extending farther northward.

Given the very heavy rains that have occurred in the past 12 hours
across a swath from Osage County through the Tulsa metro and into
northwest Arkansas will remain the most susceptible part of the
forecast area to rapid onset flash flooding. Unfortunately, a good
portion of this area looks to be within the likely northern
extent of the heaviest rains this evening. Southeast Oklahoma also
remains very saturated from rains over the past week, especially
from northern Pittsburg County eastward into the northern half of
LeFlore County. As a result, this area will also be susceptible to
rapid onset flash flooding.

&&

.LONG TERM...
(Memorial Day through Sunday)
Issued at 207 PM CDT Sun May 25 2025

There will likely be a relative lull in the coverage of showers
and thunderstorms during the morning hours on Monday on the heels
of the overnight thunderstorm complex. The next batch of showers
and thunderstorms will be more likely to develop mid to late
afternoon to the west and southwest, moving eastward across the
region through the evening, focused in southeast Oklahoma.
Depending on how this evolves and what happens rainfall wise
tonight, the Flood Watch may need to be extended into Monday night
for southern portions of the region. The severe weather threat
does not look substantial, although it is nonzero.

The pattern will remain fairly active, from a continued isolated
to scattered shower and thunderstorm perspective, mid to late in
the upcoming work week as a result of a stubborn upper low in the
Upper Midwest. Low to medium thunderstorm chances will be timed
with impulses rotating around the southern periphery of the low.
The overall severe thunderstorm threat does not look substantial
given the unseasonably cool conditions and lower dew points.

Warmer conditions should make a return by the weekend, as the
upper low finally shifts eastward and upper level ridging moves
into the region.

&&

.AVIATION...
(06Z TAFS)
Issued at 1223 AM CDT Mon May 26 2025

Poor flying conditions persist through the forecast period for all
sites. A mix of MVFR and IFR conditions were observed across E OK
and NW AR as a complex of widespread rain and thunderstorms
gradually moves through the region. Cigs are expected to decrease
further by 10-12z, with IFR conditions forecast areawide.
Widespread precip exits during the morning, but scattered showers
and isolated thunderstorms remain possible into the afternoon.
Ceilings are shown to improve slightly during the daytime hours,
mainly across SE OK. However, a mix of MVFR and IFR is generally
expected through the forecast period for all sites.

...SIGNIFICANT FLOODING IMPACTS THROUGH MONDAY...

This Outlook is for Northwest and West Central Arkansas as well as
much of Eastern Oklahoma.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...Elevated.
 	AREA...All of eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

HEAVY RAIN and FLASH FLOOD.
	RISK...Significant.
	AREA...Eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas.
	ONSET...Ongoing.

DISCUSSION...
Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms will continue this
evening, generally along and south of Interstate 40. Additional
activity will spread east from north Texas and central Oklahoma
overnight into eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. Flooding
and flash flooding concerns will remain across a corridor from
northeast Oklahoma into northwest Arkansas where widespread 2-4
inches of rain fell Saturday night into Sunday morning. Renewed
flooding will be a concern across southeast Oklahoma as storms
redevelop and move along a warm front across that area.

As thunderstorm coverage increases overnight, intensity will also
increase especially along and south of Interstate 40 where the
highest severe threat will exist. Large hail and damaging winds
will be the main concerns through late Monday morning.

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT
ACTION STATEMENT... Activation of the Regional Spotter Network
Likely.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday.
MONDAY...Severe Thunderstorm Potential.
TUESDAY through Saturday...Thunderstorm Potential.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
The majority of the severe weather and heavy rain threat will
exit the area by late morning Monday with a lower chances of
thunderstorms later in the day Monday. Scattered shower and storm
chances remain in the forecast through midweek with a return of
more nighttime and early morning activity late in the work week.
Any heavy rains will likely exacerbate ongoing flooding conditions
so continue to observe warning signs and watch for flooded roads
when driving.
