Tornado Warning 49, NWS Norman, OK

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
250 PM CDT MON MAY 3 1999

NEGATIVELY TILTED TROF CONTINUES TO DIG SOUTHEASTWARD ACROSS THE
SOUTHWEST US THIS AFTERNOON. AN INITIAL S/WV NOW MOVING ACROSS NEW
MEXICO WILL CONT TO MOVE EAST NORTHEAST ACROSS THE TX PANHANDLE INTO
WESTERN OK AND SOUTHERN KS THIS EVENING. A STRONGER WAVE JUST NOW
CROSSING THE SEIRRA NEVADAS WILL QUICKLY DROP INTO THE BASE OF THE
TROF LATER TONIGHT AND MOVE ACROSS THE AREA ON TUESDAY.

AS ALL THIS IS HAPPENING A DRY LINE NEAR THE TX/OK BORDER WILL
SLOWLY WORK ITS WAY EAST FOR THE FIRST PART OF THIS EVENING. AS
STORMS BECOME ORGANIZED ALONG THE DRY LINE LATER THIS EVENING THEY
WILL MOVE EASTWARD ACROSS THE STATE OVERNIGHT. THEY WILL PROBABLY
ADVANCE AHEAD OF THE DRY LINE...WHICH SHOULD REMAIN ACROSS WESTERN
OK OR RETREAT WESTWARD LATER THIS EVENING IN ANTICIPATION OF THE
MAIN WAVE WHICH COMES OUT ON TUESDAY. AT THAT TIME THE DRY LINE
WHICH WILL BE ALIGNED ALONG THE TX/OK BORDER AND THE PACIFIC COOL
FRONT WHICH WILL BE TRAILING THE DRY LINE INITIALLY WILL MAKE THERE
WAY INTO THE CENTRAL SECTIONS OF OK BY 18Z.

AS THE OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING CONVECTION CONT TO MOVE EAST
EARLY TUESDAY MOST OF WESTERN AND PERHAPS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA WILL END
UP DRY TUESDAY AFTERNOON. THINK THAT BEST CHANCES FOR AFTERNOON
CONVECTION ON TUESDAY WILL BE FROM I-35 EASTWARD. WILL LIKELY KEEP
SOME CHANCES IN CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST TOMORROW AFTERNOON. OTHERWISE
POPS ON TUESDAY WILL BE FOR LINGERING STORMS FROM TONIGHTS ACTIVITY.

FOR THE EXTENDED MRF TRIES TO CLOSE THE UPPER CIRCULATION OFF AGAIN
OVER THE CENTRAL U.S. AND BRINGS ANOTHER S/WV AROUND THE CIRCULATION
ON THURSDAY. THINK THIS WILL JUST BRING SOME MID AND HIGH LEVEL
CLOUDS TO THE AREA. THE CLOSED LOW SLOWLY MOVES EAST AFTER THAT AND
LEAVES THE SOUTHERN PLAINS DRY WITH A WARMING TREND INTO THE
WEEKEND.
