AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 207 PM CDT SAT SEP 13 1997 THE MID-LEVEL TROUGH THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH THE AREA OF SHOWERS ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA IS NOT MOVING VERY QUICKLY ACROSS THE STATE. WATER VAPOR AND WIND PROFILER INFORMATION INDICATE THAT THE FEATURE RANGES FROM NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA TO THE WEST CENTRAL PART OF THE STATE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BE THE REASON FOR A CONTINUE CHANCE OF SHOWERS INTO THE EVENING TO THE SOUTH OF THIS FEATURE. AS IT LEAVES THE STATE LATER TONIGHT, MID-LEVEL SUBSIDENCE AND THE LACK OF ANY SURFACE LIFTING FEATURE SHOULD KEEP SUNDAY RAIN-FREE. HOWEVER, ANOTHER MID/UPPER LEVEL FEATURE, APPARENT IN WATER VAPOR IMAGERY OVER THE SOUTHWEST U.S. WILL LIKELY MOVE NORTHEAST OVER THE BUILDING EASTERN ROCKIES RIDGE SUNDAY BUT HAVE SOME INFLUENCE IN NORTHERN OKLAHOMA BY SUNDAY EVENING. AS THE SOUTHERN EXTENT OF THIS TROUGH MOVES THROUGH THE STATE ON MONDAY, A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL EXIST IN MOST AREAS.
