081 FXUS64 KTSA 021522 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 1022 AM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024 ...New SHORT TERM... .SHORT TERM... (The rest of today ) Issued at 1015 AM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024 Ongoing storm cluster across SW OK / N TX has been poorly handled within morning short term guidance and observations suggest no near term weakening trend is expected. Warm front extends southeastward across N TX with a corridor of strong instability aligned downstream of this convection. Should these storms persist into the afternoon a likely track would come near or through SE OK and updated forecasts will adjust afternoon storm chances upward accordingly. Extensive cirrus debris from the ongoing convection will overspread the area and updated forecast will slight temp adjustments. && .LONG TERM... (Tonight through Saturday) Issued at 204 AM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024 The MPAS and HRRR suggest there is much better potential tonight into Monday morning for one or more MCSs to move into the area. An MCV or convective-induced vort will likely be sliding over the region Monday morning as well. By Monday afternoon, the better rain/storm chances will be shifting east, with rain/storm chances trending lower in the wake of the MCV. PoPs Monday night have been lowered to chance across the north with a slight chance thunder prob given low confidence and lack of a convective signal coming in from the High Plains. Focus then turns to a strong shortwave trough to slide across the northern tier of states later in the week, on the nose of a powerful cross-Pacific upper jet. This system will force a formidable frontal boundary south down the Plains which will become the focus for what will likely become one or more MCSs to track southeast across the region Tuesday night into Wednesday. A reinforcing front will slide thru Thursday, bringing at least low thunder chances. The GFS and EC differ with the details beyond Thursday, but indications are that there will be some potential for more MCS activity late week on into next weekend. Lacy && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 622 AM CDT Sun Jun 2 2024 Patchy fog will burn off by mid morning, otherwise VFR conditions will prevail through the forecast period. The chances for showers and storms late tonight are too low to include at any TAF site at this time. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
