Severe thunderstorms developed across central and eastern Oklahoma during the afternoon hours of the 30th, ahead of a dry line over central Oklahoma and along an outflow boundary across northeastern Oklahoma. The storms moved into northwestern Arkansas during the evening, producing some large hail and damaging wind.

CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM.
THUNDERSTORM IMPACTS ARE POSSIBLE AT ALL TERMINALS...WITH MLC
LEAST LIKELY TO SEE THEM. ONGOING STORMS WILL AFFECT
BVO/FYV/FSM/XNA WITHIN THE FIRST COUPLE OF HOURS OF THE VALID TAF
PERIOD...WITH TUL/RVS SOON THEREAFTER. WIND GUSTS THIS AFTERNOON

..UPDATE...
DISCUSSION...
SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL TONIGHT CONTINUES TO BE THE SHORT TERM
FOCUS. CLOSELY WATCHING AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY ACROSS NORTHERN
WASHINGTON AND INTO OSAGE COUNTIES...ASSOCIATED WITH THE REMNANTS
OF AN OVERNIGHT MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE SYSTEM THAT HAS SLOWLY MOVED
SOUTHWARD FROM KANSAS. THIS BOUNDARY WILL LIKELY BE THE FOCUS FOR
THE HIGHEST SEVERE WEATHER POTENTIAL THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...
INCLUDING THE POSSIBILITY OF LONG TRACK TORNADOES.
ELEVATED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPED SHORTLY AFTER SUNRISE THIS
MORNING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA...AND HAVE
EXPANDED IN COVERAGE INTO EAST CENTRAL AND NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS. THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR THIS
AFTERNOON AND EVENING WILL LIKELY BE BETWEEN THE AFOREMENTIONED
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AND THE WESTERN EDGE OF THIS CONVECTION...WHICH
INCLUDES THE TULSA METRO AREA. AN INCREASING CAP THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING...AND THE EFFECTS OF THE ONGOING CONVECTION ON THE
WIND FIELDS WILL LIMIT ADDITIONAL SEVERE DEVELOPMENT IN SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA AND INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.
FORECAST SOUNDINGS REMAIN SUPPORTIVE OF MORE DISCRETE SUPERCELL
DEVELOPMENT THAN WAS SEEN YESTERDAY...WHICH WILL LEAD TO A GREATER
TORNADO THREAT. THE INCREASING CAP IS A CONCERN...EVEN ACROSS
PARTS OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA...BUT IF STORMS DEVELOP AS
EXPECTED...THE SEVERE POTENTIAL IS HIGH.
BESIDES THE SEVERE STORM THREAT...THE THREAT OF FLOODING IS
INCREASED AS WELL...ESPECIALLY ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
THAT SAW 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAIN FROM LAST NIGHTS STORMS. ALTHOUGH
TONIGHTS ACTIVITY SHOULD BE MORE ISOLATED THAN LAST NIGHTS...IF A
STORM IS ABLE TO GO OVER AN AREA THAT SAW A LOT OF RAIN LAST
NIGHT...ADDITIONAL FLOODING IS LIKELY. MORE WIDESPREAD HEAVY RAINS
ARE EXPECTED FRIDAY AND INTO SATURDAY...AND A LARGER AREA WILL
LIKELY BE AFFECTED BY FLOODING DURING THIS TIME FRAME. A FLASH
FLOOD WATCH HAS BEEN ISSUED TO THE NORTH OF A LINE FROM EUFAULA TO
WESTVILLE AND HUNTSVILLE THROUGH MIDDAY SATURDAY.

MVFR CIGS COULD HANG ON FOR MUCH OF THE DAY BEFORE CLIMBING TO VFR
LEVEL THIS AFTERNOON. TSRA WILL AFFECT KBVO EARLY THEN THERE
SHOULD BE A BREAK FOR MUCH OF THE DAY...ASIDE FROM A ROGUE SHOWER

WEST AND MOVE INTO NE OK THIS AFTERNOON AND INTO NW AR BY THIS
EVENING. MVFR CIGS WILL RETURN TO ALL SITES AGAIN BY 12Z FRI MORNING.

DISCUSSION...
A FEW CONVECTIVE CLUSTERS CONTINUE IN AREAS ALONG AND NORTH OF
U.S. 412 EARLY THIS MORNING CONTINUE TO BE FUELED BY 50+ KNOT LOW
LEVEL JET ANALYZED OVER CENTRAL/WESTERN OK. THIS SHOULD CONTINUE
THROUGH THE EARLY PART OF THE MORNING...AND WILL ALSO HAVE TO KEEP
AN EYE ON FORWARD PROPAGATING MCS MOVING ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL KS
WHICH COULD BRUSH FAR NORTHERN AREAS THIS MORNING AS WELL. SEVERE
THREAT IS MINIMAL BUT THESE FEATURES MAY HAVE SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
ON AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.
AIRMASS ALREADY RECOVERING FROM EXTREME SE THROUGH NW OKLAHOMA IN
WAKE OF OVERNIGHT STORMS AND EVENTUALLY SHOULD RECOVER TO SOME
DEGREE OVER EASTERN OK THIS AFTERNOON. MOST SHORT RANGE MODELS
CONTINUE TO BREAK OUT CONVECTION RELATIVELY EARLY TODAY FURTHER
COMPLICATING MATTERS. LARGER PICTURE CONTINUES TO BE DEEP TROUGH
DEVELOPING OVER CENTRAL U.S. WITH DRY LINE MIXING A BIT FARTHER
EAST INTO WESTERN OK BY LATE THIS AFTERNOON. WIND PROFILES SHOW
MUCH LESS BACKING OF MID LEVEL WINDS TODAY WITH BETTER CHANCE OF
STORMS REMAINING DISCRETE. DEGREE OF INSTABILITY DOES REMAIN IN
QUESTION BUT SHOULD SEE AN AXIS OF HIGHER VALUES EAST OF THE DRY
LINE WITH STORMS DEVELOPING OVER CENTRAL OK LATE AND MOVING TOWARD
NE OKLAHOMA IN THE EVENING. WITH MORE DISCRETE STORM MODE ALL
TYPES OF SEVERE WOULD BE POSSIBLE.
MID LEVEL TEMPS BEGIN TO WARM TONIGHT WITH CAP STRENGTH QUICKLY
INCREASING...WHICH WOULD CAUSE STORMS TO WANE OVERNIGHT.
CONVECTIVE COMPLEX MAY DEVELOP TONIGHT ON EDGE OF CAP MAINLY
NORTHEAST OF OUR AREA. CAP REMAINS IN PLACE MOST OF FRIDAY WITH
VOLATILE AIRMASS SPREADING OVER MUCH OF THE FORECAST AREA.
AGAIN...WIND PROFILES SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELLS WHICH SHOULD DEVELOP
RAPIDLY ALONG DRY LINE AND FRONT TO OUR WEST AND NORTHWEST LATE
AFTERNOON. THIS COULD BE A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT GIVEN
EXTREME INSTABILITY FORECAST...STAY TUNED.
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD EXPAND IN COVERAGE FRIDAY EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT AS FRONT SLOWLY PUSHES SOUTH...LEADING TO POTENTIAL FOR
SIGNIFICANT HEAVY RAINFALL IN SOME AREAS. MOST LIKELY THIS WILL
BE NORTH OF I-40...WHERE A FLASH FLOOD WATCH WILL EVENTUALLY BE
NEEDED FOR FRIDAY NIGHT AND POSSIBLY INTO SATURDAY. RAIN SHOULD
TAPER OFF SATURDAY EVENING WITH SUNDAY TURING OUT TO BE A NICE
AFTERNOON WITH DRIER AIR AND TEMPERATURES SEVERAL DEGREES BELOW
NORMAL. THUNDERSTORM CHANCES WILL RETURN BY MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK AS
BOUNDARY RETREATS NORTH.

DISCUSSION...
SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY ACROSS PARTS OF EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND
NORTHWEST ARKANSAS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. LARGE HAIL...DAMAGING
WINDS...AND TORNADOES WILL ALL BE PRIMARY THREATS. STRONG AND LONG
TRACK TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE. ISOLATED FLASH FLOODING WILL ALSO
BE A CONCERN.
THUNDERSTORMS HAVE BEEN ONGOING THROUGH THE DAY ACROSS PARTS OF
EASTERN OKLAHOMA AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS...WITH THE MOST VIGOROUS
DEVELOPMENT SEEN ACROSS PARTS OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA ALONG AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY FROM EARLIER CONVECTION. ADDITIONAL STORMS ARE DEVELOPING
ACROSS SOUTHWEST AND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA IN THE VICINITY OF THE
DRYLINE. INSTABILITY AND DEEP LAYER SHEAR ACROSS THE REGION ARE
SUPPORTIVE OF DISCRETE SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT...ESPECIALLY WITH THE
DRYLINE STORMS. THE THREAT OF LONG TRACK TORNADOES WILL BE HIGHEST
WITH ANY STORMS THAT ARE ABLE TO ANCHOR TO THE AFOREMENTIONED
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. THIS IS MOST LIKELY TO OCCUR ACROSS PARTS OF
NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA ALONG AND TO THE NORTH OF INTERSTATE
44...INCLUDING THE TULSA METRO AREA. STORMS WILL EVENTUALLY CONGEAL
INTO CLUSTERS OR LINES AND MOVE EAST INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS...AND
PERHAPS PARTS OF SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA THIS EVENING.
PARTS OF NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA HAVE RECEIVED 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAINFALL
IN THE PAST 18 HOURS...AND TRAINING OF STORMS OVER THESE SAME AREAS
COULD LEAD TO FLOODING LATER TODAY AND TONIGHT. THIS IS MOST LIKELY
TO OCCUR IN AREAS TO THE NORTH OF HIGHWAY 412.
SPOTTER AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ACTION STATEMENT...
ACTIVATION OF THE REGIONAL SPOTTER NETWORK LIKELY.
.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
FRIDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL...HIGH WIND POTENTIAL...
HEAVY RAIN POTENTIAL.
SATURDAY...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
SUNDAY AND MONDAY...NO HAZARDS.
TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY...THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL.
EXTENDED DISCUSSION...
A COLD FRONT WILL SAG INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA FRIDAY AFTERNOON...AND
INTO NORTHWEST ARKANSAS FRIDAY NIGHT...INTERACTING WITH A VERY
UNSTABLE AIRMASS OVER THE REGION. WINDS ALOFT WILL REMAIN FAVORABLE
FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF ORGANIZED STORMS. EARLY IN THE EVENT THE
THREAT FOR VERY LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES EXISTS...WITH A TRANSITION
TOWARD DAMAGING WINDS AND HEAVY RAINFALL INTO FRIDAY NIGHT. WINDS
ALOFT WILL BE PARALLEL TO THE BOUNDARY...SUGGESTING THAT STORMS WILL
GROW INTO CLUSTERS AND TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS. WIDESPREAD
FLOODING WILL BECOME AN INCREASING CONCERN BECAUSE OF THIS...WITH
ISOLATED AREAS POTENTIALLY SEEING AS MUCH AS 9 TO 10 INCHES OF RAIN
THROUGH SATURDAY MORNING.
THE RISK FOR STORMS WILL SHIFT SOUTHEAST WITH THE FRONT ON
SATURDAY...DOWN INTO WEST CENTRAL ARKANSAS AND SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA.
ANOTHER BOUNDARY IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE REGION TOWARD THE
MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK...AND WILL BRING ANOTHER CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS.
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLANNING STATEMENT...
EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL AND FIRST RESPONDERS SHOULD CONTINUE
TO MONITOR FORECASTS AND ONGOING WEATHER CONDITIONS DUE TO THE
EXPECTATION OF SEVERAL DAYS OF SEVERE WEATHER AND FLOODING.
