AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
253 AM CDT TUE JUN 28 2011
.DISCUSSION...
FRONT HAS BECOME LARGELY STATIONARY OVER THE AREA EARLY THIS
MORNING...STRETCHING FROM NEAR ATOKA TO FAYETTEVILLE. TEMPERATURES
AREAWIDE ARE SEVERAL DEGREES COOLER THAN AT THIS SAME TIME
YESTERDAY DUE TO LIGHTER WINDS...WITH TEMPERATURES NORTH OF THE
BOUNDARY IN THE 70S. ELEVATED CONVECTION HAS BEEN DEVELOPING WELL
NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY NEAR THE KANSAS AND OKLAHOMA BORDERS DURING
THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS. WILL MONITOR RADAR TRENDS PRIOR TO
ISSUANCE TO DETERMINE IF POPS WILL BE REQUIRED ACROSS AREAS NEAR
THE KANSAS BORDER...AS CURRENT THINKING IS THAT MUCH OF THE
ACTIVITY WILL REMAIN NORTH OF THE STATE LINES...WITH PORTIONS OF
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS MORE LIKELY TO SEE STORMS AFTER 12Z.
TEMPERATURES TODAY WILL BE SOMEWHAT TRICKY...WITH HIGHS LIKELY TO
BE SOME 10 TO 15 DEGREES COOLER ACROSS MUCH OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THAN YESTERDAY...BUT STILL HOT TO THE SOUTH
OF INTERSTATE 40. DEW POINTS IN THE LOWER 70S WILL LEAD TO 105
HEAT INDICES ACROSS MUCH OF SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA AND WEST CENTRAL
ARKANSAS...LEADING TO THE NECESSITY FOR A HEAT ADVISORY THIS
AFTERNOON TO THE SOUTH OF A MCALESTER TO VAN BUREN LINE.
THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE MAINLY THIS AFTERNOON ALONG AND
SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY...BUT A BETTER CHANCE FOR STORMS WILL OCCUR
TONIGHT. AN MCS IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP THIS EVENING IN WESTERN
KANSAS IN RESPONSE TO A STRONG LOW LEVEL JET IN THE HIGH PLAINS.
MODELS HAVE CONSISTENTLY INDICATED THAT THE MCS WILL MOVE ACROSS
EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND WESTERN PARTS OF ARKANSAS TONIGHT...AND
POSSIBLY INTO TOMORROW MORNING. FOR NOW...WILL CONTINUE TO PUT
HIGHEST POPS IN THE TONIGHT PERIOD...BUT LATER SHIFTS WILL HAVE TO
MONITOR TO SEE IF THESE NEED TO BE PUSHED BACK INTO THE 12-18Z
WEDNESDAY PERIOD.
THE FRONT WILL RETURN TO THE NORTH OF THE AREA...ALLOWING THE HEAT
AND HUMIDITY TO AGAIN TAKE HOLD OF THE WEATHER PICTURE. HEAT
INDICES APPROACHING 110 AND TRIPLE DIGIT HIGHS WILL AGAIN BE
LIKELY FROM WEDNESDAY INTO AT LEAST THE EARLY PART OF THE WEEKEND.
WILL ISSUE AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH FOR ALL OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA
EXCEPT ADAIR COUNTY...AND WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS FROM TOMORROW INTO
FRIDAY EVENING. CONFIDENCE IS FAIRLY HIGH THAT THE HEAT INDEX
CRITERIA /105/ FOR A WARNING WILL EXIST ACROSS THE ENTIRE
AREA...BUT CONFIDENCE IS LOWER THAT THE LOW TEMPERATURE CRITERIA
WILL BE MET EVERYWHERE...EXCEPT TUL AND FSM. THERE IS ALSO A NON
ZERO CHANCE THAT TONIGHTS EXPECTED MCS ACTIVITY COULD REDUCE HIGHS
AND HEAT INDICES FOR SOME PART OF THE AREA WEDNESDAY...DELAYING
THINGS INTO THURSDAY.
LARGELY DRY WEATHER WILL RETURN WITH THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY BY
THURSDAY AND PERSIST THROUGH THE REST OF THE FORECAST. THE NEW
ECMWF RUN DOES SHOW SOME HOPE...HOWEVER...AS IT TAKES A BREWING
TROPICAL SYSTEM CURRENTLY NEAR THE YUCATAN THE NORTH INTO A
WEAKNESS IN THE UPPER LEVEL RIDGE TO THE EAST OF THE ROCKIES. THE
MODEL SOLUTION SPLITS THE UPPER RIDGE IN HALF...WHICH WOULD LEAD
TO COOLER TEMPERATURES AND SOME NEEDED RAINFALL. NOT GOING TO BITE
ON THIS SOLUTION JUST YET...AS IT DOES NOT HAVE THE SUPPORT OF
OTHER MODELS OR ITS PREVIOUS SOLUTIONS. BEARS WATCHING HOWEVER.
