738 FXUS64 KTSA 030905 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 405 AM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024 ...New SHORT TERM, LONG TERM... .SHORT TERM... (Today) Issued at 346 AM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024 The main focus for today will be an organizing MCS that is currently across southwest Kansas. CAM`s are in reasonably good agreement that this storm complex will track southeast into northeast Oklahoma later this morning, and will maintain or even increase in intensity through the day as it advances southeast through much of our forecast area. Damaging winds will be the main severe weather threat with this complex. Scattered showers and storms may also develop ahead of the complex this morning, and some hail potential will exist with this activity. Locally heavy rainfall amounts will also be possible today. Temperatures today are problematic, but think most places should top out in the 80-85 degree range, with southern areas seeing their highs prior to the arrival of the storm complex. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Sunday) Issued at 346 AM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024 Convective chances tonight behind today`s complex are highly uncertain, so have stuck with the NBM pops for now. Much of Tuesday will likely be dry, but storm chances will ramp up Tuesday evening and overnight as a weak frontal boundary approaches from the north. Severe storms and locally heavy rainfall appear likely again at this time. A relatively dry period will exist behind this frontal boundary Wednesday through Friday before mainly overnight and morning storm chances increase again by the weekend as high plains convection tracks southeast each night in the northwest flow pattern aloft. && .AVIATION... (06Z TAFS) Issued at 1227 AM CDT Mon Jun 3 2024 The potential for MVFR cigs and storms during the morning hours at the TAF sites is the main forecast concern. CAMs suggest storms will begin to develop around 12Z near the NE OK and KFSM sites. With the idea that confidence in this scenario is higher, TEMPOs were used. Farther east into NW AR more uncertainty exists and therefore used PROB30 mention. There`s also a chance that an MCS will sweep in from the northwest during the morning hours as well. MVFR cigs are expected to most sites toward 12Z, with cigs rising back to VFR by midday or early afternoon. Storm chances will be winding down during the afternoon also and should be too low to mention thru the end of the forecast. Lacy && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
