AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK 1140 PM CDT SAT JUN 2 2012 .DISCUSSION... THE 06Z TAF DISCUSSION CAN BE FOUND BELOW. && .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM. MADE SEVERAL CHANGES TO THE 00Z FORECAST BASED ON THE LATEST SHORT TERM GUIDANCE AND RADAR TRENDS. A LINE OF CONVECTION IN FAR W/NW OK IS EXPECTED TO MOVE EAST OVERNIGHT...MAINLY DRIVEN BY ITS OUTFLOW AND INCREASING LLJ. DATA INDICATES THAT THE REMNANTS OF THIS SYSTEM WILL SWEEP EAST ACROSS NE OK AND POSSIBLY EVEN INTO NW AR BY SUNDAY MORNING. IN ADDITION...A FEW ISOLATED STORMS MAY DEVELOP ON THE EDGE OF THE CAP FROM NEAR TULSA SOUTHEAST TO FORT SMITH BTWN 06Z AND 09Z...AND COULD ALSO BE IN THE VCNTY OF THE OTHER NW AR SITES AS WELL. WILL DO A PREVAILING VCTS TO COVER THE ISOLATED ACTIVITY AND THEN ATTEMPTED TO TIME THE COMPLEX WITH A TEMPO FOR THE NE OK SITES. FUTURE TAF AMENDS CAN ADJUST THIS IF NEEDED. SUNDAY SHOULD BE QUIET FOR THE MOST PART...WITH A CHANCE OF STORMS INCREASING LATE IN THE DAY FOR NE OK AND NW AR. LACY && .PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 946 PM CDT SAT JUN 2 2012/ DISCUSSION... HIGH PLAINS CONVECTION CONTINUES TO BE SUPPORTED BY AN UPPER LEVEL SHORTWAVE MOVING ACROSS THE ROCKIES THIS EVENING...WITH PROFILER DATA SHOWING MODEST STRENGTHENING OF LOW LEVEL JET ACROSS WESTERN OK/TX. WARM FRONT REFLECTED MAINLY IN DEW POINT ANALYSIS SLOWLY LIFTING NORTH AND NOW APPEARS TO BE NEAR INTERSTATE 40. FRONTAL POSITION AND SOME STRENGTHENING OF LOW LEVEL FLOW SUPPORT GOING POP FORECAST FOR TONIGHT OF LOW CHANCES FROM ABOUT I-40 NORTH AFTER 06Z...AND NO CLEAR SIGNAL IN ANY SHORT RANGE GUIDANCE SUPPORTS CHANGING ONE WAY OR OTHER. TEMPS FORECAST ALSO LOOKS REASONABLE AND WILL NOT ISSUE AN UPDATE THIS EVENING. PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 630 PM CDT SAT JUN 2 2012/ DISCUSSION... THE 00Z TAF DISCUSSION CAN BE FOUND BELOW. AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM. VFR CONDITIONS SHOULD PREVAIL AT ALL SITES THROUGH THE NEXT 24 HOURS. THERE ARE CONFLICTING SIGNALS IN THE DATA REGARDING TSTORM DEVELOPMENT AND COVERAGE TONIGHT...HOWEVER THE MAJORITY SUGGEST ISOLATED COVERAGE AT BEST...MAINLY OVER NE OK BTWN 06Z AND 12Z AS THE WARM FRONT NEAR THE RED RIVER LIFTS NORTH. GIVEN THE EXPECTED LOW COVERAGE AND LOW CONFIDENCE IN ANY STORM AFFECTING A GIVEN TAF SITE...WILL REMOVE THE PROB30 AND GO WITH A CONSERVATIVE VCTS FOR THE NE OK SITES BTWN 06Z AND 12Z. LIGHT WINDS TONIGHT WILL BECOME SRLY SUN PM AND WILL GUST ABV 15 KTS OVER ERN OK. LACY PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 339 PM CDT SAT JUN 2 2012/ DISCUSSION... PRESSURE FALLS ALONG THE LEE OF THE ROCKIES ARE INITIAL INDICATIONS OF INFLUENCE OF WAVE THAT WILL BE ROTATING INTO THE PLAINS TONIGHT INTO TOMORROW. THIS RESPONSE WILL BRING A WARM FRONT NORTHWARD TONIGHT AND MOST LIKELY NORTH OF THE FORECAST AREA BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL ACCOMPANY THE BOUNDARY AS IT LIFTS NORTHWARD WITH A FEW STRONG STORMS POSSIBLE OVERNIGHT. MODEL DATA ALL AGREE ON DEVELOPING STRONG INSTABILITY ACROSS THE WARM SECTOR SUNDAY AFTERNOON...AND GIVEN CURRENT CONDITIONS SOUTH OF THE FRONTAL BOUNDARY THIS SEEMS REASONABLE. THE STRENGTH OF THE CAPPING INVERSION WILL BE KEY AS TO WHETHER THE CONVECTION WHICH WILL DEVELOP SUNDAY AFTERNOON REMAINS IN VICINITY OF THE SURFACE FRONTAL ZONE...OR CAN DEVELOP MORE SOUTHWARD WHICH WOULD BE NEEDED FOR HIGHER PRECIP CHANCES ACROSS NORTHERN AREAS. A MORE LIKELY SCENARIO IS A LARGE STORM COMPLEX DEVELOPS SUNDAY EVENING AND DROPS SOUTHEASTWARD INTO EARLY MONDAY MORNING. THE WESTERN FLANK OF THIS COMPLEX COULD IMPACT PORTIONS OF THE FORECAST AREA. THE RESULTANT OUTFLOW BOUNDARY / SYNOPTIC FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL AGAIN PUSH SOUTH INTO THE AREA MONDAY AND RESIDE IN THE VICINITY FOR SEVERAL DAYS. THE UPPER PATTERN WILL TRANSITION TO HIGH AMPLITUDE RIDING THROUGH THE CENTRAL U.S. WHICH WILL LIMIT BOTH UPPER FORCING AND SHEAR MAGNITUDES...WITH CONVECTION BECOMING DRIVEN ON DAILY HEATING AND CONVERGE ON THE REMNANT SURFACE BOUNDARY. ALL EXTENDED DATA THEN RESORT TO DEVELOPING AREAS OF HEAVY PRECIP BENEATH THE UPPER RIDGING. THIS COULD BE VALID SHOULD ONE OR MORE MCV/S DEVELOP AND PROVIDE LOCALIZED FORCING...OR THIS COULD BE RESULT OF MODEL SCALE CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK. EITHER WAY CONFIDENCE DROPS OFF NOTICEABLY WITH TIME AND LOW POPS CONTINUE. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...

THUNDERSTORMS DURING THAT TIME PERIOD WILL POSE A HIGHER SEVERE WEATHER THREAT DUE TO GREATER ATMOSPHERIC INSTABILITY.
