AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
241 PM CDT TUE JUL 12 2005

.DISCUSSION...
CLUSTER OF STORMS THAT FORMED EARLY THIS MORNING ACROSS NORTHERN
PARTS OF KANSAS HAVE SURVIVED INTO SOUTH CENTRAL KANSAS EARLY THIS
AFTERNOON. ADDITIONAL STORMS HAVE FORMED IN ADVANCE OF THIS CLUSTER
ACROSS FAR NORTHERN OKLAHOMA. MID AND UPPER WAVE SHOULD HELP PUSH
STORMS INTO NORTH CENTRAL OKLAHOMA OVER NEXT 2 TO 3 HOURS...BUT STORMS
SHOULD WEAKEN FARTHER SOUTH AND BECOME LESS NUMEROUS AS MID LEVEL WINDS
ARE NOT AS STRONG. APPEARS THAT STRONGER STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF
WINDS TO 45 MPH.

WILL MAINTAIN SLIGHT CHANCES FOR STORMS OVER NEXT SEVERALS DAYS
WITH BETTER CHANCE FOR STORMS OVER SOUTHERN PARTS OF FA AS MID
LEVEL SHEAR AXIS PUSHES SOUTH AND RIDGE BUILDS INTO CENTRAL AND
NORTHERN PLAINS.

STRONG WAVE MOVING INTO PACIFIC NORTHWEST BY THE END OF THE WEEK IS
FORECAST TO FLATTEN UPPER RIDGE WHICH MAY ALLOW FOR WEAK COLD FRONT
TO PUSH ACROSS THE AREA AROUND MONDAY AND TUESDAY OR NEXT WEEK.  WILL
KEEP IN SLIGHT/CHANCE POP FOR STORMS ALONG FRONT.
