AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
337 PM CDT SUN APR 7 2013

.DISCUSSION...

CURRENT SURFACE ANALYSIS SHOWS A SUBTLE PRESSURE TROUGH THAT LIES
WEST-EAST ALONG THE KS BORDER. MEANWHILE...MOISTURE CONTINUES TO
SLOWLY INCREASE AND SURGE NORTH. AN ISOLATED SUPERCELL DEVELOPED
ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS FEATURE AND CONTINUES EAST ACROSS KS.
THERE IS POTENTIAL LATER THIS AFTERNOON FOR AN ISOLATED STORM TO
DEVELOP OVER FAR NW OK/SW-S CNTRL KS AND TRACK EAST TOWARD NE OK.
THE MOST RECENT AVAILABLE RUN OF THE HRRR HAS BACKED OFF ON THIS
POSSIBILITY BUT IT IS STILL WORTH WATCHING
. ANY UPDRAFT THAT CAN
SUSTAIN ITSELF WILL LIKELY ROTATE...GIVEN ~50 KTS OF WESTERLY DEEP
LAYER SHEAR. THE RIGHT MOVING BUNKERS SUPERCELL VECTOR HAS A
MOTION JUST NORTH OF DUE EAST AT 20 KTS. THIS HAS BACKED FROM
EARLIER TODAY...MOST LIKELY DUE TO STRENGTHENING WSW FLOW IN
ADVANCE OF AN IMPULSE OVER NM PER WV IMAGERY. SO THE BEST
POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE NEAR THE KS BORDER AND MAINLY
WEST OF HIGHWAY 75 THROUGH THIS EVENING. VERY LARGE HAIL TO
BASEBALL SIZE IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE...AND DUE TO STRENGTHENING
0-1KM SHEAR AN ISOLATED TORNADO OR TWO COULD ACCOMPANY A SUPERCELL
IF IT HAPPENED TO PAY US A VISIT THIS EVENING. LOOKS LIKE MORE
WIDESPREAD AND MAINLY ELEVATED STORMS WILL GET ALONG AND NORTH OF
SURFACE TROUGH TOWARD 06Z AS STRENGTHENING LLJ FOCUSES ISENTROPIC
LIFT. THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN HOW FAR SOUTH TO PUT RAIN
CHANCES...AS OUR LOCAL MODEL DEVELOPS STORMS A BIT FARTHER SOUTH.
FOR NOW WILL HEDGE AND PUT SLIGHT CHCS DOWN TO NEAR I-40.

THE CAP STRENGTHENS ON MONDAY AND THE BOUNDARY TO OUR NORTH
CONSOLIDATES WITH A STRENGTHENING WARM FRONT NEAR THE KS/NEB
BORDER. CHANCES FOR ANY STORMS TOO LOW TO MENTION IN THE FORECAST.
IT IS A HIGHLY CONDITIONAL SETUP (PROBABLY THE BEST OF THE WEEK)...BUT
LOW PROB OF OCCURRENCE.

THE NEXT BIG CHALLENGE WILL BE LATE TUESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY. THE
DATA TODAY HAS NOT REALLY CHANGED MY FORECAST REASONING FROM
YESTERDAY MUCH AT ALL. MODEL SOUNDINGS STILL SHOW A DECENT CAP IN
THE WARM SECTOR TUESDAY...SO IT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO GET STORMS TO GO
WITH THE MAIN UPPER TROUGH STILL WELL WEST AND LACK OF ANY
FOCUSING BOUNDARIES IN OUR AREA. IF A STORM DOES GO IN THE WARM
SECTOR...IT WOULD LIKELY BE BAD...BUT ODDS ARE PRETTY LOW. THE
MOST LIKELY SCENARIO IS FRONTAL FORCING ALONG A SURGING COLD FRONT
WILL PROVIDE THE LIFT NEEDED FOR CONVECTION. HOWEVER...SINCE UPPER
TROUGH IS COMING OUT WITH A POSITIVE TILT...THE UPPER FLOW WILL BE
PARALLEL TO THE FRONT...THUS STORMS THAT DEVELOP WITH THE FRONT
WILL TEND TO BE UNDERCUT QUICKLY. THE ECMWF CONTINUES TO SHOW
ALMOST ALL QPF ON THE COOL SIDE OF THE FRONT...INDICATIVE OF THIS
VERY SCENARIO. I`M NOT SAYING THERE WILL NOT BE SEVERE
WEATHER...BUT THE TENDENCY FOR STORMS TO BE UNDERCUT WILL LIMIT
THE SEVERE POTENTIAL. POST-FRONTAL RAIN AND STORMS ARE FORECAST TO
CONTINUE THRU WEDNESDAY...TAPERING OFF BY THURSDAY MORNING.

TEMPS WILL COOL OFF BEHIND THE FRONT...AND WILL REMAIN THAT WAY
FOR THE LATTER HALF OF THE WEEK AND INTO THE FIRST PART OF THE
WEEKEND. A SUBTLE WAVE WILL PASS THRU THE PLAINS SATURDAY...WITH
THE MAIN EFFECT BEING MORE CLOUD COVER. ONCE THAT PASSES...UPPER
FLOW TRANSITIONS TO SW AND LEE SIDE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OVER SW
KS/SE CO. SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL PREVAIL HERE AND TEMPS WILL REBOUND
QUICKLY BY NEXT SUNDAY.

Hey Cowgirl! Looks like a bumpy week. Thanks for the heads-up. Youngest is still in Norman and that looked like dead center.

We're in a fire weather watch for tomorrow and the western half of the panhandle has a red flag warning. Sorry, I tried to copy/paste, but the mouse is still acting up. Looks like we'll have to get another one.

It looks like we'll be getting more of New Mexico and Arizona's topsoil and TUMBLEWEEDS!!!

...SEVERE WEATHER POSSIBLE ACROSS THE MIDSOUTH WEDNESDAY INTO WEDNESDAY
NIGHT...

SHORT TERM...TONIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY MORNING

WARM SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING BEAUTIFUL SPRING WEATHER
TO THE MIDSOUTH DURING THIS TIME PERIOD. THE ONE CAVEAT WILL BE THE
CLOUDS. STRATUS WILL CONTINUE TO INVADE THE AREA DURING THE
OVERNIGHT AND MORNING HOURS THROUGH THIS TIME PERIOD. EACH DAY...IT
WILL GET HARDER AND HARDER TO BREAK UP. THUS THE POSSIBILITY OF
PEAKS OF SUNSHINE WILL BE LIMITED. ALSO CAN/T RULE OUT ISOLATED
SHOWERS OCCURRING ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY ACROSS MUCH OF THE CWA DUE
TO STRONG WARM AIR ADVECTION. ANY SHOWERS THAT WOULD OCCUR WOULD
BE SHORT LIVED AND LIGHT. FOR THE MOST PART...EXPECT WARM AND DRY
CONDITIONS THROUGH TUESDAY. HAVE LOWERED HIGHS SLIGHTLY DUE TO THE
EXPECTED CLOUD COVER. LOWS WILL BE IN THE 50S AND 60S WITH HIGHS
IN THE 70S.

A POTENT LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL BEGIN TO MOVE OUT OF THE CENTRAL
PLAINS TUESDAY NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. THE 12Z GFS CONTINUES TO COME
INTO BETTER AGREEMENT WITH THE 00Z AND NOW 12Z ECMWF WITH AT LEAST
INITIAL TIMING OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS. THE ATMOSPHERE WILL
BE WARM AND UNSTABLE AHEAD OF THE APPROACHING SYSTEM. SEVERAL DAYS
OF STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BRING MID 60 DEWPOINTS INTO THE
REGION. THIS WILL LEAD TO CAPE VALUES APPROACHING 1500 J/KG. A SFC LOW WILL
TRACK NORTHEAST ALONG A COLD FRONT THAT WILL PUSH INTO EASTERN
ARKANSAS SHORTLY AFTER 18Z (1 PM) WEDNESDAY. PROXIMITY OF SFC LOW
SHOULD BE AROUND THE NE ARKANSAS...SE MISSOURI...AND W KENTUCKY
AREA. THIS WILL LEAD TO HELICITY VALUES BETWEEN 200-300 M2/S2.
THUS THE POSSIBILITY OF TORNADOES WILL EXIST WITH ANY SEVERE
STORMS THAT DEVELOP ALONG WITH THE RISK OF LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING
WINDS. FIRST ONSET OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL LIKELY BE
AROUND 1 PM-4 PM WEDNESDAY ACROSS EASTERN ARKANSAS AND THE
MISSOURI BOOTHEEL BASED ON LATEST MODELS WHICH ARE A LITTLE
EARLIER WITH TIMING THAN YESTERDAYS RUN. STORMS WILL APPROACH THE
MISSISSIPPI RIVER AND THE MEMPHIS METRO AREA BETWEEN 4PM -7PM
WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. STORMS WILL EVENTUALLY EVOLVE INTO A SQUALL
LINE WHICH WILL PUSH EAST. HOW QUICKLY STILL REMAINS A QUESTION.

THE 12Z GFS PUSHES LINE AND COLD FRONT OUT OF THE CWA BY
12-15Z(7-10 AM)THURSDAY MORNING WHILE THE 00Z AND NOW THE NEW 12Z ECMWF
IS MUCH SLOWER BUT NOT AS SLOW AS YESTERDAYS MODEL RUNS. IF THE
ECMWF SOLUTION IS CORRECT...HEAVY RAIN AND FLASH FLOODING WOULD BE
A THREAT AS WELL. CONTINUE TO STAY TUNED.

LONG TERM...THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH SUNDAY

LINGERING RAIN BEGIN TO TAPER OFF BY THURSDAY AFTERNOON. ALTHOUGH
CLOUDS MAY STICK AROUND THROUGH THURSDAY NIGHT.

HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN ON FRIDAY. HIGHS WILL BE IN THE 60S WITH LOWS
IN THE 40S FOR THE MOST PART.

Cowgirl:

The terminology used in your statement above compelled me to write this post:

As someone who went through a major tornado event decades ago, I can tell you that it forever impacts you emotionally. So I always want to tell others that yes! you MUST be alert, cautious, prepared, and take storms seriously . . . BUT, there is a fine line between that and unnecessarily inciting fear.

Some of the DFW tv meteorologists are bad about using overly-fear-driven adjectives when talking about storms and tornado watches, and someone needs to explain to them how important it is to consider the terminology when discussing potentially serious weather events.

Their job is to keep everyone informed and provide up-to-the minute status reports, especially during tornado watches, so they should be firm and direct enough to make people pay attention and take things seriously . . . but they should not throw around adjectives that can instill undue panic, especially for those who've been through tornadoes and have to work to keep their stresses under control during storms.

Tell your youngest, if a twister is headed their way get into a storm shelter, basement or a beer cooler at the bar.

I agree with you. I have been through my fair share of weather disasters too, including blizzards, typhoons, hurricanes and tornado's. And yes, It changes a person forever.

The point I am trying to drive home here is...It's spring and with that comes storms. People need to take responsibility for their own safety, monitor the weather and not rely on the local TV weather gal in a short skirt to tell them when to bring their tomato plants in. That's why I put links to radar sites on the first page of this thread.

That being said, It's going to be a bumpy weather week. This is a good time for people to make sure they are prepared for whatever mother nature throws at us.

Re: Heads up - Severe Weather Texas!
I am thankful for our basement! Right at a year ago we had a bad, bad hailstorm that creamed about half of the roofs in Nashville, including ours. My mom was visiting, and she was upstairs when the storm started. I was watching the news and when the tornado warning came I yelled at her "mom come ON and get in the basement!" She starts moseying down the stairs real calm and says "I'm from Texas, this is nothing..." I go "GET YOUR ASS IN THE BASEMENT NOW!" and right then the windows start breaking in the house. She hauled her tiny ass down to the basement right quick!! I don't usually talk to my mom like that but I was scared!!

Re: Heads up - Severe Weather Texas!
I am thankful for our basement! Right at a year ago we had a bad, bad hailstorm that creamed about half of the roofs in Nashville, including ours. My mom was visiting, and she was upstairs when the storm started. I was watching the news and when the tornado warning came I yelled at her "mom come ON and get in the basement!" She starts moseying down the stairs real calm and says "I'm from Texas, this is nothing..." I go "GET YOUR ASS IN THE BASEMENT NOW!" and right then the windows start breaking in the house. She hauled her tiny ass down to the basement right quick!! I don't usually talk to my mom like that but I was scared!!

WOW...You are a good daughter! I worry about that type of thing here in North Texas where we don't have a basement to get into. Every room in this house has tons of windows so the only safe place is a hall bathroom and a closet under the steps. If I didn't have dogs to worry about I guess I could run into town and hide out in beer cooler like my daughter. LOL

Texas..this is what we have so far.

Good afternoon! Hopefully everyone is able to get out and enjoy this beautiful Spring day! Cloudy, muggy and overcast where I’m at north of Dallas, but western and southwestern parts of the state are enjoying some beautiful sunny skies and temps already into the 80′s. Breezy conditions will exist across most of the state today with gusts in the 30-35mph range across central and western parts of the state. The cloud deck currently over the eastern portion of the state is expected to stick around, so some of the highs portrayed on the graphic below may be just a few degrees overstated. No rain is expected in the state today. As discussed earlier by David and Conley, our best chances for rain and thunderstorms looks to be Tuesday and into Wednesday as a strong upper low sweeps through from the west and a strong cold front drops down from the north. A squall line of storms oriented from northeast to southwest across the state is likely Tuesday afternoon and into Wednesday morning. At this time, the biggest threats with this line of storms should be large hail and damaging winds. We will continue to monitor and keep you updated!

Please put Arkansas on your list. We usually get hit extremely hard with tornadoes, and yet everyone forgets about Arkansas.

80 degrees today.
