AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
656 PM CDT THU APR 9 2009

...MESOSCALE UPDATE...

.DISCUSSION...
THE SOUTHERN MOST CELL IN THE LINE OF STORMS MOVING
ACROSS EXTREME SOUTHEAST OKLAHOMA HAS RAPIDLY
BECOME A CLASSIC SUPERCELL. THE CAPE TO 700 MB
HAS JUMPED AHEAD OF THIS CELL TO 150 J/KG AND THE
TURN TO THE RIGHT AND SLOWER MOTION HAS RESULTED
IN A VERY FAVORABLE STORM-RELATIVE WIND ENVIRONMENT
FOR TORNADOES. THE CURRENT WIND FIELDS AND INSTABILITY
NEAR THIS CELL SUGGESTS THAT A STRONG AND LONG-LIVED
TORNADO COULD OCCUR FROM NORTHEAST PUSHMATAHA COUNTY
INTO SOUTHERN LE FLORE COUNTY.
