Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1216 PM CDT Wed Jul 10 2019 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. Scattered thunderstorms could potentially impact all TAF sites through the afternoon, with chances diminishing toward 00Z. Expect gusty winds and brief MVFR cigs/vsbys in and near storms. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1100 AM CDT Wed Jul 10 2019/ ..UPDATE... DISCUSSION... We're continuing to monitor an area of showers/thunderstorms moving gradually south/southeast across southeast KS. This activity will be moving into portions of northeast OK over the next few hours, and we'll also see additional scattered development across northeast OK/northwest AR into the early afternoon. Low-shear/high instability (MLCAPES 3500-4000 J/KG) environment will be favorable for a few downburst wind gusts, with cold-pool interactions eventually allowing storm clusters to surge south into southeast OK/western AR through the remainder of the afternoon. Pockets of heavy rainfall will provide some relief to hot/humid conditions, but will leave existing heat advisory as is. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
