.AVIATION...
CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM
DECAYING LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS WITH MVFR CONDS AND
LOCAL IFR VISIBILITIES MOVING ACROSS NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
EARLY THIS MORNING. KTUL/KRVS AFFECTED UNTIL 15Z.
REMNANT SHOWERS KMLC/KFYV/KXNA/KFSM 14Z-18Z. VFR CONDS
ALL SITES THIS AFTERNOON...EXCEPT FOR A CHANCE OF LOWER
CONDITION SHOULD THUNDERSTORMS FORM NEAR THE OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY LEFT FROM THIS MORNINGS CONVECTION.

.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 352 AM CDT MON JUN 7 2010/

DISCUSSION...
THE KANSAS MESOSCALE COMPLEX CONTINUES TO DIVE
SOUTHEAST TOWARD NORTHERN OKLAHOMA.  THE APEX OF
THE BOW IS EXPECTED TO STAY JUST WEST OF OSAGE AND
PAWNEE COUNTIES...BUT CLOSE ENOUGH TO WARRANT
A SVR TSTORM WATCH TIL15Z.  THE LOW-LEVEL JET WILL
NOT PROPAGATE EAST THIS MORNING, BUT JUST VEER A LITTLE.
THIS WILL KEEP THE INFLOW OF THE HIGHEST THETA-E AIR
INTO THE SOUTH AND SOUTHWEST SIDE OF THE COMPLEX...PERHAPS
ENCOURAGING A LITTLE MORE OF A SOUTH TURN IN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS.  THE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO WEAKEN LATER
THIS MORNING WITH THE DIURNAL WEAKENING OF THE LOW-LEVEL
FLOW AND THE COMPLEX SHIFTING FURTHER FROM THE JET AXIS.
WARM ADVECTION ACTIVITY HAS INCREASED AHEAD OF THE
PRIMARY LINE WITH SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORM EXPECTED
TO DEVELOP INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS MORNING AS WELL AS
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA.

AS THE COMPLEX DIES A MESOSCALE VORT CENTER IS LIKELY TO BE
LEFT MOVING ACROSS THE FORECAST AREA DURING THE DAY.  SCATTERED
REDEVELOPMENT OF STORMS IS EXPECTED IN EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND
WESTERN ARKANSAS AS THIS FEATURE PROMOTES LIFT OF THE
DESTABILIZING AIR.  THE FRONT WHICH PASSED MOST OF THE AREA IN THE
LAST 24 HOURS LIES ACROSS FAR SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA THIS MORNING AND WILL
ATTEMPT TO DEVELOP BACK NORTH TODAY...BUT WILL BE SLOWED BY
THE CONVECTIVE BOUNDARY LEFT BY THIS MORNINGS COMPLEX.  THIS
BOUNDARY AND THE HIGHER TERRAIN AREAS WILL BE THE FOCUS FOR THE
NEW STORMS LATER TODAY NEAR AND AHEAD OF THE MID-LEVEL VORTICITY
CENTER WHICH THE NAM SUGGESTS WILL MOVE INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA THIS
AFTERNOON AND THEN DRIFT SOUTHWARD INTO THE EVENING.

PRECIP CHANCES WILL BE LIMITED FROM LATER TONIGHT INTO TUESDAY
AS THE NEXT MESOSCALE SYSTEM TRACKS BY TO THE NORTH ON
MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY. OUTFLOW FROM THIS SYSTEM COULD
GET CLOSE ENOUGH TO INCREASE RAIN CHANCES IN NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
BY LATE TUESDAY NIGHT.  ON WEDNESDAY...A MORE SIGNIFICANT CHANCE
FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL OCCUR AS CONVECTIVE OUTFLOWS
CONSOLIDATE AND PUSH TOWARD NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST
ARKANSAS AND MOISTURE AND LIFT FROM THE UPPER LOW NOW IN EXTREME
SOUTHERN TEXAS AND MEXICO BEGINS TO SHEAR NORTHWARD INTO THE AREA.

THE ECMWF HOLDS ON TO A MORE ORGANIZED LOOKING SYSTEM AND LIFTS
IT INTO THE AREA ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY...WITH THE GFS TENDING TO
SHEAR THE SYSTEM NORTH.  IN EITHER EVENT...THE CHANCE FOR SHOWERS
AND STORMS CONTINUES INTO THE END OF THIS WEEK.  ALONG WITH
WARM TO HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS.  IF THE ECMWF IS CORRECT...AND
IT LIKELY IS...A SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT COULD OCCUR SOMEWHERE IN THE
AREA BY WEEKS END.
