AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR EASTERN OKLAHOMA
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OK
410 PM CDT SAT JUL 30 1994

YET ANOTHER WIND MAX APPEARS TO BE HEADED SOUTH DOWN THE EASTERN SIDE OF
THE WESTERN U.S. UPPER RIDGE INTO NEBRASKA AND EVENTUALLY INTO OKLAHOMA.
THE LAST COUPLE OF NIGHT THESE WIND MAXES HAVE INTERACTED WITH THE LOW
LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW AND WARM ADVECTION IN THE PLAINS TO PRODUCE SHOWERS
AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS.  EXPECT THE SAME MAY HAPPEN AGAIN TONIGHT AND
LAST INTO SUNDAY AND WILL BROADBRUSH 20 PERCENT POPS OVER THE FORECAST
AREA.  A BETTER CHANCE FOR TRW SHOULD COME SUNDAY NIGHT AS A SHORTWAVE
HEADED UP THE BACKSIDE OF THE RIDGE AND A WEAK FRONT PUSHING SOUTHEAST
TOWARD KANSAS INTERACT LATE SUNDAY.  RESULTING THUNDERSTORMS WOULD NOT
BE HARD PRESSED TO PUSH INTO NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA SUNDAY NIGHT AND OVER
THE WHOLE AREA MONDAY MORNING.
