AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
916 PM CST SAT APR 1 2006
.UPDATE...
A SQUALL LINE CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS CENTRAL
OKLAHOMA. THE WESTERN PARTS OF THE FORECAST AREA LOOKS LIKE
IT HAS A GOOD BET FOR RAIN. SEVERE WEATHER MAY ALSO ACCOMPANY
THE STORMS WITH WINDS BEING THE MAIN THREAT. NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
LOOKS TO HAVE THE BEST CHANCE OF RAIN THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT
HOURS PER THE 18Z NAM.
LOTS OF CLOUDS...SOUTH WINDS AND DEW POINTS IN THE 60S SHOULD
RESULT IN A MILD NIGHT.
AN UPDATE HAS BEEN SENT OUT FOR MAINLY THE POPS TONIGHT.

...TORNADO WATCH IN EFFECT FOR PORTIONS OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA THROUGH
300 AM CDT..
...A RED FLAG WARNING AND FIRE WEATHER WATCH ARE IN EFFECT FOR
PARTS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS SUNDAY...
THIS OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AS WELL
AS MUCH OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA.
.DAY ONE...TONIGHT.
SEVERE THUNDERSTORM.
RISK...LIMITED.
AREA...NORTHWEST OF A OKEMAH...TULSA...BARTLESVILLE LINE.
ONSET...AFTER 1000 PM CST.
DISCUSSION...
A LINE OF STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IS CURRENTLY MOVING INTO
PORTIONS OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA THIS EVENING. THIS ACTIVITY IS EXPECTED
TO MOVE INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AFTER 1000 PM CST. LATEST DATA
SUGGEST THAT THE OVERALL THUNDERSTORM INTENSITY MAY BEGIN TO
DECREASE OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS AS THE THUNDERSTORM LINE
APPROACHES. THERE WILL STILL BE A LIMITED CHANCE FOR A FEW SEVERE
STORMS...PRIMARILY NORTHWEST OF A OKEMAH...TULSA...BARTLESVILLE
LINE. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE DAMAGING DOWNBURST WINDS IN THE
STRONGER BOW SEGMENTS.
SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED LATER THIS EVENING.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SUNDAY THROUGH FRIDAY.
SUNDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
VERY HIGH FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL.
MONDAY...NO HAZARDS.
TUESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
WEDNESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
THURSDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
FRIDAY...NO HAZARDS.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
A DRY LINE WILL SWEEP ACROSS THE AREA ON SUNDAY AND INTO
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS AND FAR SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA SUNDAY EVENING
AS A STRONG LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM MOVES OUT OF KANSAS AND INTO
IOWA. THE REMAINS UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE TIMING OF THE DRY LINE
AND THE RESULTING STORM AND FIRE POTENTIAL.
MODEL GUIDANCE GUIDANCE SUGGESTS THE DRY LINE WILL AGGRESSIVELY
PUNCH ACROSS THE AREA SUNDAY AND PERHAPS BE CLEAR THE TULSA
FORECAST AREA BEFORE AFTERNOON STORMS CAN FORM. HOWEVER THE
MODELS SOMETIMES ARE TOO FAST WITH THE DRY LINE MOVEMENT IN
SIMILAR SITUATIONS...SO CURRENT THINKING IS THAT THE DRY LINE
WILL SLOW LATE IN THE DAY AND BE IN EXTREME EASTERN OKLAHOMA OR
WESTERN ARKANSAS AT THE TIME NEW STORMS DEVELOP. WHILE LOW-LEVEL
WINDS WILL NOT BE VERY SUPPORTIVE...INSTABILITY AND DEEP-LAYER WINDS
WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELL STORMS.
BEHIND THE DRY LINE A VERY HIGHT TO LOCALLY EXTREME FIRE DANGER WILL
DEVELOP IN THE AFTERNOON AND PERSIST INTO THE EVENING. SEE THE
RED FLAG WARNING AND FIRE WEATHER WATCH FOR DETAILS..
THE NEXT CHANCE FOR ORGANIZED SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL APPEARS TO BE
THURSDAY AS ANOTHER LARGE STORM SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE PLAINS.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
EMERGENCY MANAGERS SHOULD CLOSELY FOLLOW FORECASTS FOR SUNDAY
AND BE READY FOR BOTH A FIRE WEATHER AND SEVERE WEATHER THREAT.
