Severe Thunderstorm Warning 409, NWS Tulsa, OK

EASTERN OKLAHOMA/NORTHWEST ARKANSAS FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE TULSA OKLAHOMA
325 AM CST TUE NOV 18 2003

SFC LOW CURRENTLY LOCATED NORTH OKC WITH COLD FRONT EXTENDING FROM
MEDFORD...SOUTHWEST TO NEAR ALTUS.  MAIN CONVECTIVE COMPLEX HAS
SHIFTED EAST THIS MORNING.   STILL EXPECT A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE FOR
LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS BEHIND THE FRONT TODAY...AS 500 MB TROUGH AXIS
MOVES THROUGH.  BEST CHANCES WILL BE ACROSS FAR NORTHEAST OKLAHOMA
AND NORTHWEST ARKANSAS.  COLD FRONT SHOULD PUSH SOUTHEAST OF FA BY
MID AFTERNOON WITH SKIES CLEARING FROM NORTHWEST TO SOUTHEAST THIS
EVENING.  LOW TEMPERATURES WILL BE SOMEWHAT PROBLEMATIC NEXT COUPLE
OF NIGHTS...MAINLY DUE TO UNCERTAINTY IN DWPT DISTRIBUTIONS FROM THE
RECENT RAINFALL.

SLIGHT WARM UP EXPECTED ON WEDNESDAY AS SURFACE RIDGE BEGINS TO
SHIFT SOUTHEAST OF AREA.  WILL LIKELY SEE SOME PATCHY FOG DEVELOP
WEDNESDAY NIGHT WITH LIGHT WINDS/CLEAR SKIES/SATURATED GROUND.  NO
MAJOR CHANGES TO THE EXTENDED.  DID BUMP UP TEMPERATURES FRIDAY AND
SATURDAY AHEAD OF NEXT STRONG COLD FRONT...WHICH IS EXPECTED EARLY
SUNDAY.  THIS WILL ALSO BE OUR NEXT CHANCE FOR SIGNIFICANT
PRECIPITATION.
