Area forecast discussion, Jun 5, 8:15 PM CST, 5 hours 13 minutes before

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
915 PM CDT SUN JUN 5 2005

.DISCUSSION...
WILL MAKE ONLY MINOR CHANGES TO CURRENT FORECAST.  THE SLIGHT CHANCE
OF PRECIP DEVELOPING LATER TONIGHT CONTINUES TO BE SUPPORTED BY 00Z
RUC AND NAM.  THE RUC IS MOST AGGRESSIVE AND DEVELOPS CONSIDERABLE
PRECIP OVER MOST OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA THIS EVENING AND ENDS IT AFTER
MIDNIGHT.  THAT IS OBVIOUSLY OVERDONE...BUT IT MAY SIMPLY HAVE A
TIMING ISSUE.  GIVEN THE CLOUDS AROUND AND POSSIBLE DIFFERENTIAL
COOLING AT CLOUD TOP...THERE MAY STILL EXIST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
PRECIP LATER IN THE NIGHT.  THE NAM MAINTAINS A FAIR AMOUNT OF
UPWARD ISENTROPIC FLOW BETWEEN 850 AND 700 MB OVERNIGHT WHICH COULD
PROVIDE THE LIFT NECESSARY FOR CONVECTION.  HOWEVER...THAT MAY ALSO
BE A STRETCH.

THE BEST INDICATOR FOR PRECIP IS THE DEVELOPMENT SOUTH OF OKC.  00Z
OKC RAOB INDICATES STORMS THAT DEVELOP SHOULD DRIFT TO THE EAST AT
ABOUT 12-14 MPH. THAT WOULD INDICATE A BETTER CHANCE OF PRECIP IN
SOUTHEAST OK THAN NORTHEAST.

GIVEN THE MODEL INDICATIONS AND THE CURRENT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT
...ALTHOUGH WEAK...WILL ADJUST POPS UP TO 30 PERCENT OVER SOUTH AND
WEST PORTIONS OF THE TULSA FORECAST AREA.  WILL MAKE NO CHANGES TO
TEMPS.

...SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS WELL AS
MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
	RISK...LIMITED.
	AREA...EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
	ONSET...THIS AFTERNOON.

DISCUSSION...
A CLUSTER OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THAT MOVED ACROSS THE AREA
DURING THE MORNING HAD WEAKENED AND MOVED EAST OF THE AREA BY EARLY
THIS AFTERNOON.  IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM...THE ATMOSPHERE OVER
THE AREA WAS ONCE AGAIN BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSTABLE.  A WEAK
FRONTAL BOUNDARY WAS ALSO LOCATED OVER THE FAR NORTHERN PART OF THE
AREA THIS AFTERNOON.  THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY...IN ADDITION TO ANY
RESIDUAL OUTFLOW BOUNDARIRES FROM THIS MORNINGS ACTIVITY MAY PROVIDE
THE POTENTIAL FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE AREA THROUGH
TONIGHT.  IF STORMS CAN DEVELOP DURING THE HEAT OF THE DAY...THERE
IS A GOOD CHANCE THAT SOME STORMS WILL REACH SEVERE LIMITS...WITH
LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS THE PRIMARY THREATS

SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.
MONDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
TUESDAY...NO HAZARDS.
WEDNESDAY...NO HAZARDS.
THURSDAY...NO HAZARDS.
FRIDAY...NO HAZARDS.
SATURDAY...NO HAZARDS.

EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
THE LOWER ATMOSPHERE WILL REMAIN MOIST AND UNSTABLE...ALLOWING A
CHANCE FOR SEVERE STORMS AGAIN ON MONDAY. AFTER MONDAY...WARM AIR
ALOFT AND A LACK OF ANY LOW LEVEL CONVERGENCE WILL NEGATE ANY
CHANCE FOR THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY.
