Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1226 PM CDT Mon Jun 3 2019 .AVIATION... CONCERNING TAF SITES KTUL/KRVS/KBVO/KMLC/KXNA/KFYV/KFSM/KROG. Highest storm chances will be across SE OK and NW AR for the first 6-8 hours of the TAF period, with more scattered coverage across NE OK. MVFR cigs, MVFR/IFR vsbys expected in periods of thunder through 02z, with VFR elements to prevail for the remainder of the TAF period. && .PREV DISCUSSION... /Issued 1018 AM CDT Mon Jun 3 2019/ DISCUSSION... Scattered convection across SE OK this morning will continue into at least into the early afternoon. Additional chances for storms this afternoon will include all of the forecast area in a warm humid environment. Greatest coverage expected across SE OK and WC AR during peak heating and into the early evening. Main forecast update is to raise pops to high chance across SE OK and increase for other locations mainly along and south of I-40. Temperatures look good for the afternoon. Slightly higher dewpoints and increased cloud cover across NE OK will likely preclude afternoon temperatures from reaching observed values of yesterday, so those will be left as they are. Remaining elements look reasonable as well. Updated ZFP/PFM/AFM out shortly. && .TSA WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES... OK...None. AR...None. && AVIATION.....23
