547 FXUS64 KTSA 171123 AFDTSA Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Tulsa OK 623 AM CDT Wed Jul 17 2024 ...New AVIATION... .SHORT TERM... (Today and Tonight) Issued at 317 AM CDT Wed Jul 17 2024 Widespread showers and storms are ongoing early this morning with the strongest storms along and north of the stationary frontal boundary extending across NE OK into far NW AR. A broad fetch of warm moist advection is ongoing across the region downstream from the remnant MCV located over SW KS. Expect the ongoing showers and storms to continue to expand eastward through the early morning hours with the heaviest rains eventually moving into NW AR supporting the continuation of the watch area. A brief lull in precip coverage is expected by early afternoon, however additional storms are likely as the aforementioned MCV will move nearer the region and the cold front and/or composite outflow boundary acts to focus new storms. Higher storm chances by mid afternoon will be along and south of Interstate 40 with these storms continuing into the evening and possible overnight hours as the sfc boundary makes slow progress southward. A few strong to severe storms along with locally heavy rains will remain possible. && .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 317 AM CDT Wed Jul 17 2024 Showers and storm chances will linger across far SE OK into Thursday before the cold front finally clears the local forecast area. Dry and cooler weather expected Friday. The weather pattern over the weekend into early next week will feature persistent troughing aloft extending through the southern Plains. Precip chances return as early as Saturday across NE OK and expand area wide by Sunday as the trough axis settles through the region. Daily chances for showers and thunderstorms along with below normal temperatures will extend through early next week. && .AVIATION... (12Z TAFS) Issued at 623 AM CDT Wed Jul 17 2024 Showers and thunderstorms around the area currently should move off by mid to late morning, leaving behind VFR conditions for this afternoon. Some scattered MVFR ceilings are possible this morning within the areas of precipitation. Additional thunderstorm development will be possible this afternoon and evening along a frontal boundary. Best chances will be across SE OK and NW AR sites. Lighting along with VSBY reductions due to heavy rainfall will be the main impacts to any terminals through the period. Otherwise, VFR conditions should prevail. Bowlan && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
