    SUMMARY...pass

    DISCUSSION...Surface observations show a stalled outflow boundary
    located across northeast Oklahoma, stretching from northeast Grant
    County east-southeast to Tulsa County, then east toward the ongoing
    convection in Northwest Arkansas. Sustained surface convergence
    along this slowly moving outflow boundary, coupled with peak
    heating, has resulted in isolated thunderstorm development across
    Tulsa County and additional attempts over Mayes County.=20

    The environment is extremely unstable with MUCAPE in excess of 5000
    J/kg along and just south of the boundary. Kinematically speaking,
    deep-layer shear is still rather weak at less than 25 knots. Thus,
    the overall background environment is favorable for thunderstorms to
    quickly become intense, but unfavorable for sustained thunderstorm organization. The result will be the potential for marginally severe
    hail as thunderstorms near their peak intensity with a transition
    toward strong, gusty thunderstorm outflows as thunderstorms
    collapse. In fact, broadcast media reports 1" hail has recently
    occurred in the city of Tulsa with that initial thunderstorm.

    Additionally, given the degree of instability in the presence of an
    outflow boundary, a brief tornado cannot be ruled out with any
    storm-boundary interactions despite the absence of strong deep-layer
    shear.
