Severe Thunderstorm Warning 115, NWS Norman, OK

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
335 PM CDT MON APR 29 2002

WARM FRONT IS SLOWLY LIFTING NORTH IN THE VICINITY OF THE RED
RIVER.  MESONET SHOWS 88/73 AT MARIETTA IN SOUTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA.
TEMPS ARE IN THE 90S AT SHERMAN/DENISON AND DENTON IN NORTH TEXAS.
FRONT SHOULD LIVE NORTHWARD SLOWLY THIS EVENING WHICH WILL KEEP MIN
TEMPS HIGH IN THE SOUTH.  BUT IN THE VICINITY OF THE FRONT... THERE
WILL BE A CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING THIS EVENING/TONIGHT.
SATEL SHOWS CU ALONG FRONT FROM NORTH OF SHREVEPORT TO LAKE
TEXOMA... ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE SOME CAPPING ISSUES THIS
AFTERNOON.  SOME WARM ADVECTION SETS UP TONIGHT WHICH MAY HELP WITH
ELEVATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT NORTH OF THE BOUNDARY TONIGHT...
BUT MOISTURE IS SHALLOW SO WIDESPREAD DEVELOPMENT IS NOT EXPECTED.

CHANCE OF PRECIP LINGERS INTO THE EARLY SECOND PERIOD BEFORE
SURFACE WINDS VEER AND PUSH MOISTURE TO THE EAST.  IT LOOKS TO BE A
GOOD DOWNSLOP DAY AND TEMPS SHOULD WARM QUITE A BIT.  THERE WILL BE
SOME MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS THROUGH SO MAXES MAY NOT GET AS OUT
OF CONTROL AS THEY WOULD WITHOUT THIS CLOUDINESS... BUT WILL STILL
BUMP MAXES UP FOR TOMORROW.  SURFACE BOUNDARY COMES BACK THROUGH
TOMORROW NIGHT AND WEDNESDAY AND WILL KEEP POPS NORTH NEAR THIS
BOUNDARY.  WITH SURFACE RIDGE OVERHEAD ON THURSDAY... MAXES ON
THURSDAY HAVE BEEN LOWERED.

EXTENDED FORECAST STILL LOOKS GOOD AND NO CHANGES HAVE BEEN MADE
BEYOND THURSDAY.
