Area forecast discussion, Jun 3, 2:51 AM CDT, 3 hours 47 minutes before
AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK 251 AM CDT FRI JUN 3 2005 .DISCUSSION... THE STRONG UPPER WAVE MOVING THROUGH EASTERN CHIHUAHUA EARLY THIS MORNING WILL BRING STORMS INTO SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND ADJACENT PARTS OF NORTH TEXAS THIS MORNING. AS THE WAVE MOVES NORTHEAST THROUGH THE MORNING, COOLING IS EXPECTED TO BE SUFFICIENT TO ALLOW STORMS TO CONTINUE IN SOME FASION SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST ACROSS OKLAHOMA TODAY. AN EXPECTED UPPER LEVEL JET STREAK THROUGH NORTH TEXAS AND SOUTHWEST OKALHOMA SHOUD ENHANCE LIFT LATER THIS MORNING. A LOW LEVEL-JET TONIGHT ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA SHOULD INTERACT WITH REMAINING SYNOPTIC LIFT TO CAUSE MORE RAIN TONIGHT. ONCE THIS WAVE DAMPENS AND PASSES SATURDAY MORNING, AN UPPER LOW IN THE WESTERN TROUGH IS EXPECTED TO PASS ACROSS SOUTHERN CO AND KS SATURDAY EVENING, ENHANCING RAIN CHANCES, MAINLY IN NORTHERN OK. WEAK SOUTHWEST FLOW APPEARS LIKELY THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH MINOR WAVES DIFFICULT TO TIME. LOW POPS REMAIN IN THAT FORECAST. && .PRELIMINARY POINT TEMPS/POPS...
