.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 303 AM CDT SUN JUN 16 2013/

DISCUSSION...
A FEW LINGERING SHOWERS CONTINUE THIS MORNING ACROSS FAR SOUTHEAST
OKLAHOMA/NORTHWEST ARKANSAS WITH TAIL END OF DEPARTING UPPER
TROUGH. SCATTERED SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE TODAY
WITH MODEST SURFACE HEATING/LIMITED CAP...HOWEVER BETTER THUNDERSTORM
CHANCES WILL LIKELY OCCUR TONIGHT INTO MONDAY MORNING. CONVECTIVE
COMPLEX IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE HIGH PLAINS THIS EVENING
PUSHING SOUTHEAST INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA TONIGHT AND ACROSS THE
REMAINDER OF THE AREA MONDAY MORNING. MODERATE INSTABILITY/SHEAR
SUGGEST THUNDERSTORM LINE COULD BE STRONG TO SEVERE AS ACTIVITY
PUSHES INTO THE AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT WITH THE THREAT FOR DAMAGING
WINDS AND TO A LESSER EXTENT LARGE HAIL. ALSO...ANY STORMS THAT
TRAIN OVER THE SAME AREAS WOULD HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED
FLOODING GIVEN THE HIGH RAIN RATES EXPECTED.

THUNDERSTORM COMPLEX SHOULD SLOWLY DECAY MONDAY MORNING WITH
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LIKELY STALLING NEAR THE RED RIVER MONDAY AFTERNOON.
THIS COULD SERVE AS A FOCUS FOR ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT
MONDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING. SOME OF THE OPERATIONAL MODELS ALSO HINTING
AT ADDITIONAL MCS DEVELOPMENT MONDAY NIGHT INTO TUESDAY ALTHOUGH
CONFIDENCE IS NOT AS HIGH. PRECIPITATION CHANCES WILL LIKELY
CONTINUE WEDNESDAY AS BOUNDARY LIFTS NORTH. UPPER RIDGE WILL BEGIN
TO BUILD INTO THE SOUTHERN PLAINS BY LATE WEEK WITH HOT/MUGGY
CONDITIONS LIKELY RETURNING INTO THE WEEKEND.
