NWS Tulsa, OK wrote its last area forecast discussion before the first event at Jun 13, 2:40 AM CST, 25 minutes earlier.
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OKLAHOMA 340 AM CDT SUN JUN 13 2004 SQUALL LINE IS DIVING SOUTH INTO THE AREA. APPEARS TO HAVE SOME LIFE LEFT IN IT AND SOME TRAILING RAIN SO HIGH POPS ARE IN LINE FOR THE MORNING HOURS IN THE NORTH. NOT QUITE SURE HOW FAR IT WILL GO SO HAVE CARRIED CHANCE POPS AS FAR SOUTH AS MCALESTER. AFTER THE SQUALL LINE DIES WILL LIKELY SEE A GRAY MORNING WITH THE LEFT OVER CLOUDS. HOWEVER...ENOUGH SUN SHOULD GET THROUGH THE CLOUDS THIS AFTERNOON FOR THINGS TO HEAT UP SETTING THE STAGE FOR ANOTHER POSSIBLE EVENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR THIS EVENING. THINK THE MOST LIKELY PLACE FOR RAIN TONIGHT WILL BE IN THE NORTH AND ESPECIALLY TO THE NORTHWEST OF INTERSTATE 44. MAY HAVE SOME LINGERING RAIN IN THE MORNING IN THE NORTH MONDAY BUT DO NOT FEEL MUCH WILL HAPPEN AFTER THAT. FEEL THE BEST DESCRIPITION FOR MONDAY AND TUESDAY WILL BE HOT AND STEAMY. SOME DISAGREEMENT IN THE MODELS FOR THE EVOLUTION OF THINGS ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY. THE ETA GRABS A TROPICAL LIKE SYSTEM AND BRINGS IT NORTH UNDER THE UPPER RIDGE. THIS WOULD LEAD TO A JUNKY LIKE RAIN LIKE WE HAD A WEEK AGO. THE GFS BRINGS A VORT NORTH BUT NOT QUITE AS MUCH INTO THE AREA AS THE ETA AND THE GFSS VORT SEEMS TO BE A CONVECTIVE LEFTOVER FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS. THE MODELS ALSO SEEM AT ODDS OVER THE POSSIBILITY OF A FRONT ALTHOUGH IT IS HARD TO TELL GIVEN THE ETA DOES NOT REALLY GO OUT THAT FAR. THE ETA WOULD KEEP IT TO THE NORTH. THE GFS WOULD SAG IT INTO THE NORTHERN PART OF THE AREA LATE WEDNESDAY AND KEEP IT THERE A FEW DAYS. THE PREVIOUS FORECAST FOLLOWED THE GFS AND DO NOT HAVE A GOOD ENOUGH FEEL TO ARGUE WITH IT RIGHT NOW. TEMP WISE...THINK THE GFS IS A LITTLE WARM FOR HIGHS THE NEXT TWO OR THREE DAYS BUT NOT BY MUCH. ITS LOWS DO NOT LOOK TOO BAD. IF THE AFOREMENTED FRONT STALLS IN THE AREA LATER IN THE WEEK AS FORECAST THE TEMPERATURES THEN SHOULD BE COOLER THAN THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND THIS IS WHAT THE NEW GFS LONG RANGE (MEX) MOS DOES.
