345 PM CDT SUN JUL 26 1992

COLD FRONT WEAKENING RAPIDLY ATTM AND IS HARD TO LOCATE. ADAP SHOWING
BEST MOISTURE CONVERGENCE HAS BEEN PERSISTENT BETWEEN TUL AND MLC THE
PAST 3 HOURS. OUTFLOW BOUNDARY NOW ACROSS SRN SECTIONS OF THE TUL METRO
AREA AND SHOULD BE THE FOCUS FOR TSTM DEVELOPMENT DURING THE NEXT 1-2
HOURS. TSTMS ALREADY DEVELOPING ALONG THIS BOUNDARY FURTHER EAST AND
EXPECT THEM TO CONTINUE TO DEVELOP TO THE SOUTHWEST. ISOLATED SEVERE
STORMS ARE POSSIBLE BUT THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE HEAVY RAINS FROM REPEAT
TSTMS. WILL NOT ISSUE FFA ATTM SINCE GUIDANCE VALUES ARE RATHER HIGH
AND STORMS ARE YET TO DEVELOP.

PROSPECTS FOR RAIN TONIGHT FROM TUL NORTH ARE NOT AS GOOD AS PREVIOUSLY
THOUGHT. WESTERLY H8 FLOW NOT CONDUCIVE FOR OVERRUNNING RAINS TO SET UP
NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY. HOWEVER...FREQUENTLY SEE SOME TYPE OF LOW LEVEL
JET SET UP SOUTH OF THE BOUNDARY OVERNIGHT IN SITUATIONS LIKE THIS AND
THIS COULD HELP SPREAD PRECIP BACK NORTH. THUS...WILL CONTINUE WITH
CHANCE POPS IN NE OK TONIGHT.

REMNANTS OF FRONT FCST TO MOVE TO EXTREME SE OK AND WASH OUT LATE
MONDAY INTO TUESDAY. PRECIP SHOULD END FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST LATE
TONIGHT AND MONDAY BUT WILL HAVE TO KEEP A MENTION IN EXTREME SE OK
THROUGHOUT THE FCST PERIOD WITH REMNANTS OF FRONT STILL HANGING AROUND.
DEWPOINTS STILL IN THE 60S IN NEBRASKA THIS AFTERNOON SO DEWPOINTS WILL
NOT DRY OUT TOO MUCH BEHIND THE FRONT BUT THE 75 DEGREE DEWPOINTS
SHOULD LEAVE ALL BUT EXTREME SE OK FOR A COUPLE DAYS AT LEAST.

NGM MOS TEMPS REASONABLE BUT WILL GO LOWER IN EAST CENTRAL AND SE OK
TONIGHT DUE TO RAIN COOLED AIR.

PRELIM NUMBERS...
