355 PM CDT THU JUN 18 1998

FRONTAL BOUNDARY SHOWS UP WELL ON VISIBLE IMAGERY...EXTENDING FROM
NEAR KSWO TO KTIK TO KFDR. IT APPEARS THAT SURFACE BASED CONVECTION
MAY BE UNDERWAY IN LINCOLN/ERN PAYNE COUNTY AS RAPIDLY DEVELOPING
STORMS ARE SHOWING UP ON KTLX. WILL BE A CLOSE CALL AS TO WHETHER OR
NOT THEY GO SEVERE IN OUR AREA OR WAIT UNTIL THEY GET INTO THE TULSA
CWA.

THICKER AREA OF CU AND WEAK ECHOES ARE ALSO SHOWING UP OVER THE
WICHITA FALLS AREA. INSTABILITY WILL LIKELY HAVE TO BATTLE CAP A BIT
LONGER BEFORE STORMS START FIRING IN THIS AREA...HOWEVER...THINK THE
STORMS WILL DEVELOP WITHIN THE NEXT FEW HOURS. EXPECT PRECIP TO
BECOME MORE WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE E CNTRL ZONES TONIGHT AS CAP
CONTINUES TO WEAKEN.

FOR THE ZONES WILL KEEP POPS NEAR AND EAST OF CURRENT FRONTAL
POSITION. ALTHOUGH MODELS DISAGREE ON LOCATION WHERE FRONT WILL
STALL AND WASH OUT...THEY ALL AGREE THAT IT WILL STALL AND WASH OUT
THROUGH TOMORROW AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE KIND OF SQUIRRELLY
TONIGHT...BUT EXPECT THEM TO GO LIGHT AND VARIABLE OVER MOST OF THE
AREA AFTER MIDNIGHT. LEE TROF DEVELOPS DURING THE AFTERNOON
FRIDAY...GRADUALLY BRINGING SLY FLOW AREAWIDE. WILL CARRY LOW POPS
TOMORROW OVER THE SOUTHEAST FOR LINGERING ACTIVITY FROM
TONIGHT...AND WILL ALSO CARRY LOW POPS IN THE WEST FOR LATE TOMORROW
AFTERNOON FOR POSSIBLE TSTM DEVELOPMENT ALONG DRYLINE.

EXTENDED MODELS SHOW CHANCE OF PRECIP THROUGH TUESDAY AS ANOTHER
FRONT STALLS ACROSS THE AREA AND SLOWLY LIFTS NWD AS A WARM FRONT.
LOW CONFIDENCE IN DRASTIC CHANGES IN NOGAPS 850 TEMPS WITH LATEST
RUN...SO WILL NOT CHANGE TEMPS TOO MUCH FROM PREVIOUS FORECAST.
